Homemade refrigerator pickles. The perfect, puckery snack.

When I was a child my dad often prepared this dish on Sunday in our home in Milan. He told me that these black-eyed peas in Egypt were called "Cleopatra's eyes". I think he was just kidding me, but it was a way to convince me to taste them ...

My Fave Memory! For holidays, my mom always makes dill dip to put out with cut up veggies like carrots, celery and broccoli. I was never a fan of broccoli then, but dipping the florets for a generous helping of the dip endeared them to me because I thought they looked like trees with snow on top. It was one of the only ways I would voluntarily eat broccoli!

This amazing, but simple, recipe will be the hit of your summer block party! Dill and crumbled feta cheese are the secret ingredients.

Great for fish, vegetables, or popcorn!

Mix it up any way you like with lemon or mint! Try adding feta too.
