Happy Birthday!

16 Years Ago Today: I was enjoying a day at the beach at Porcupine Bay, and decided to go into labor two weeks early. I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, wonderful baby girl. So today we celebrate her birth. Happy Birthday Oldest Sweetheart! You are one of the greatest experiences God has ever given me. And I am VERY proud of the woman you are becoming.

Sweet & Hot Pickles - Canned

I really want to make some of these this year, but I want to can them for during the winter. This is the only recipe, with pictures and instructions that I found. Maybe there are more, but once discovered, why go on?

Sweet & Hot Pickles from "Mommy's Kitchen."

My husband leaves for work early, and I don't like him stopping at the grocery store for donuts every day. He's not fat, but it doesn't seem very caring of me to let him go off without something thought out for him. So I make these and keep them in the freezer. Then I just have to get up, and microwave one. Hand it to him, with a paper towel to wipe his hands and mouth. Add a kiss, a look, and an "I love you." And he gets the idea that I appreciate him for his hard work. I like that, and that's why I make these. Laugh at me all you want for being sappy, but I do love that man!

English Muffins
pre-cooked sausage patties
Scrambled eggs **
Sharp Cheddar cheese slices

Directions
1. Scramble eggs **
2. Lightly pre-toast English muffins

Assembly:
Layer sausage patty, egg, and cheese on a English muffin half. Top with remaining English muffin half. Wrap in foil. Freeze inside freezer bag.

Serving Day:
Thaw. Because they are already pre-cooked, you just need to warm them up.

Option 1: Keep in foil and put on a cookie sheet and warm in oven.

Option 2: Remove foil and warm up in microwave. It doesn't take long, maybe 20-30 sec. depending on your microwave.

** We make our own scrambled eggs: Break a dozen eggs into a greased 13X9 pan. Scramble and place in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 10 - 12 minutes. Let stand until cooled. Cut into 12 squares. Ready for assembly. You could buy the pre-cooked ones at the store, but they are more expensive.
