Pickled Red Onions

When you offer someone house-made pickled red onions, they are impressed. You have to be sure to say house-made and not homemade because it sounds more Top Chef.

After 24 Hours

Make these pickled red onions and put them everything- sandwiches, salads, tacos, burrito bowls, deviled eggs, pulled pork, etc. This recipe makes more pickling liquid than I could fit in a 16 ounce jar with a whole red onion so I just saved it in the fridge. Now I have enough to pickle another onion without making more liquid.

I don't have the best knife skills so since I took this picture, I've gotten a mandoline. My onions are even fancier!

Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Inspired by this TikTok, I made Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats.

The video doesn't say how much butter to use so I actually followed this recipe. I used bourbon vanilla so it was bourbon on bourbon.

I didn't fully appreciate how much stirring this was going to but the effort was well worth it. Served this with fish tacos while watching Hamilton on Disney+ and they were caramelly but not too sweet. Just like the founding fathers used to eat!
