She suggests that you carefully read the instructions twice and confirm that you have all the ingredients and tools that you will need before you start. She also shares a list of "my kitchen must-haves" while encouraging folks to read labels.
The game kicks off with a number of pickle recipes. The Cheesy Pickle Taquitos look and sound tasty. Everything But The Kitchen Dink is packed with tantalizing photos that we warn you will make you hungry. Sherri's directions are clear and concise and include short commentary about the recipes that in some cases talk about pickleball. Not only can one do a lot with pickles, but we learned that oats are also quite versatile. We want to try our hand at the Monster Breakfast Cookies made with oats and other wholesome stuff.
