Word of advice: When you're pregnant and hungry do NOT get on Pinterest. You've been warned. With that being said, these were delicious- and easy. Easy is the most beautiful word when it comes to cooking. When it comes to every day cooking I always prefer to keep it simple. Today I had a craving for crunchy pickles and since I no longer live in Salt Lake City where I can stop in at Squatter's any time that craving strikes I had to visit Pinterest and find a recipe for myself. This recipe for fried pickles is the one I used and it turned out better than I had hoped. I only made about 25 of them but they were gone within minutes of Aaron sitting down next to me.
Fried Pickles
- dill pickle chips
- 1 cup beer
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- cooking oil
Aaron prefers his fried pickles plain but I like a little something to dip mine in. Unfortunately, baby girl is picky and won't let me eat most dressings/dips because they're just too rich for her. I found this recipe for greek yogurt ranch that literally took me two minutes to make and was better (and MUCH healthier) than any ranch I've ever had out of a bottle. I'll never go back. This dressing was great for both dipping my fried pickles and topping a homemade salad.
Greek Yogurt Ranch
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 packet hidden valley ranch mix (dressing, NOT dip)

ReplyDeleteOh crap. You just said fried pickles and easy in the same sentence and now I'm trying to think if I know of a bodega that sells pickles and beer at 3 in the morning just so I can make these right now... Fried pickles are like one of my favorite things in the world... I so didn't need to know that these were easy to make... crap crap crap...
