I'm All Pickled!!!!!

I don't have to mention, Gut flora, because you all know how important to every day immunity it is!

This is a wonderful, more effective, and inexpensive way to heal, replace, and just strengthens gut flora. 

For those of u that don't know about fermented veggies, I will post some links!

Just some reasons you may consider fermentation above other food preservation methods. Fermented foods provide and inexpensive, vitamin and enzyme  rich  foods, making it so much easier for your body to digest and absorb. This way you r getting as much from your veggie meetings as possible. Not only do they taste better, but they r going to provide u with free health care, healing, balancing and nurturing your damaged gut.

You Know I like to keep it simple!!!

I stick with what I like, so this is my recipe!

Mix 2 Tsp salt to 2 cups Distilled Water

Cut veggies into sticks and firmly pack into jars.

Add two cloves of Garlic 

1 tsp of mustard seeds

 2 tsp of dill

Optional  

Sometimes I also love to add 1 tsp basil.

You can uses your creativity, and add just about any herbs u like

this is just our Favorite!!!

Then pour the salt water brine over the veggies. You want the veggies to be completely covered,

and only want to have about an inch of air space in you jar. 

Let sit on your counter for a week, I always open jar daily to degas. 

You can go longer if u would like with some veggies. 

Just taste after a week, they should be perfect.

Then refrigerate. 

My ferments last for months, if they even make it that long, because we eat them up!!!

Oooo, and if your kids r not feeling veggie, I give my kids some of the juice. 

I also add the juice to my babies homemade baby food, use all that yummy goodness!!!

Well love peppers, carrots, and my oldest favorite is broccoli, 

but you can pickle just about anything you like!
