Snacking Cucumber or Mini Cucumbers are a great option for everyday meals either in a lovely Salad or as a Pickle. Infact these beautiful looking crisp and delightful Pickled Cucumbers are a perfect way to enjoy it for a long time.
The Pickling involves an excellent almost easiest way with just a few whole spices and White or Apple Cider Vinegar. If it's Apple Cider Vinegar, you don't even need the whole spices except Garlic. Only the Vegetables would be enough. But if White Vinegar is used, any number of whole spices can be used for a more flavourful and aromatic Pickled Vegetables.
Snacking Cucumbers are smaller, more crisper and a bit tangy too. You would definitely love them as a Pickle that tickles your tastebuds and makes every meal of yours memorable and cherished. With your loved ones besides you, what more could you ask for? Let's begin this New Year on a healthier note. Cheers to a healthy You.
Enjoy Pickling with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.

Distinctive with the unique flavor of pickled lime that gives freshness.

PEANUT BUTTER & HONEY ROAST CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES
THE CHICKENConsidering that I do not care for peanuts, well rather I really dislike eating them to the point that most things containing whole peanuts are close to inedible for me, it would be peculiar in anyone’s eyes that I make and enjoy this dish. Some things with peanut butter in them are rather tasty to me. I find that it is usually dishes that have a sweetening factor, like honey which really does the trick. I am however looking to get over this issue and be able to enjoy at least peanut butter.THE VEGETABLESTo accompany this fantastic roast we decided to go with roast vegetables and mielies or corn on the cob.Like a lot of people, I just adore roast vegetables. I enjoy having a meal that is entirely roast vegetables sometimes, especially when it is cold out like it is at the moment.
