Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and salt in a large sauce pan and bring to a low boil.
- 2
In the meantime, slice carrots into ovals diagonally about 1/8” thick, slice onion into thin halves, and slice jalapeños thin, just a little less than the carrots.
- 3
Once the brine has begun to boil, add the carrots, onion, and jalapeño.
- 4
Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 20 minutes.
- 5
Remove from heat and let cool for at least 30 minutes before you place in a glass jar.
- 6
Place the jar in the refrigerator and let sit for two days for best results. You can eat sooner, but I’ve found the flavors are so much better after two days.

Spicy Carrots, Onions and Jalapenos (Mexican style) Spicy Carrots, Onions and Jalapenos (Mexican style)
Nailed it!I have always liked the thicker spicy carrots and onions with jalapenos served as a side at Mexican restaurants. So I researched it and found this easy recipe, with minor changes, to craft it at home. It's a nice low carb., low fat, tasty snack to keep you away from worse snacks. I like to leave it about a week in the refrigerator before enjoying, so the veggies can absorb the flavor. The best thing about this, you can adjust the heat to your taste. This one here is pretty spicy in my opinion. To make it less spicy, remove the seeds and white membrane from the jalapenos, or just use less. To increase use more jalapenos, or add dried hot chillies or crushed red pepper. This also has a sweet component, you can adjust the sugar down to your liking. Or, for a barely spicy version, use Anaheim peppers or bell peppers instead of jalapenos, add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper to the boil. This will give you the peppers but just a little kick to round it out. Fo Fa -

Asian-Style Carrot Salad Asian-Style Carrot Salad
Not 17 anymore, but still dealing with those random pimples! So, I’m trying to get more veggies in, and this Asian-style carrot salad has become my go-to. It’s absolutely delicious! It feels so soothing to shave the carrots, and carrots are packed with vitamins for your skin and eyes. They help keep your digestion smooth and might even help balance hormones. For this recipe, I chop the middle part of the carrot to use for fried rice (waste not, want not!). Then, I mix up a quick dressing with soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, sesame seeds, scallions, and a little chili oil if I want it spicy. Toss it all together, and you’ve got a salad that’s easy, tasty, and good for you! Plus, you can store it in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy! Dandanyummyfood -

Pickled Radishes Pickled Radishes
Several recipes and tips exist on Pickled Radishes, but I wanted a very simple and fast method of doing it with quality results. Mrs. Donk and I are gardening and have found that we have a overwhelming amount of produce, Radishes are more than we can put on the dinner table during the growing season and we have to do something with them. It's simple and easy! You can change it up in many different ways. For example, momma doesn't like hot and spicy but I do so I will put a little Tabasco Sauce in a few jars and omit it from hers. If you like it really hot, add some jalapeño slices! Enjoy and feel free to give any suggestions or tips of your own! James Freeman (Donk)
