I use dill pickles in so many recipes, but what I don’t tell you is that they are MY dill pickles. The difference between these pickles and ones from the store is the vinegar. I use apple cider vinegar and it creates an amazing taste with the dill.

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
