Welcome to Gilly's Place

A few years ago my granddaughters asked me to put together a cookbook of about 20 family favorite recipes and when I did the 20 pages looked rather skimpy so I added more, and more, and more till their binders held 60. Heavily embellished I gave them to the girls at Christmastime. Every Christmas since then I've added 60 more pages to their collections and have reached the 300 mark...and they're looking forward to getting even more. These are not random recipes, they're all tried and true. Anyway, when word got around it seems everybody and their second cousin wanted a cookbook so I began selling them to cover the cost of materials and now I'm passing them on to others as digital freebies, who like me, enjoy family, friends, cooking, and sharing. Print the pages to a standard letter size and save them in any old binder that blends with your kitchen. Please do print them for yourself and gift-giving to family and friends but please do not claim as your own as it wouldn't be fair to the designers I buy from or the wonderful talent that is freely given by bloggers. I'd love to hear from you and if you leave a comment on a post I will reply on the same. Please don't leave anything on the 4shared page, I seldom think to check those.

Tickled Pink Pickled Eggs

Hi guys! For all of you making homemade goodies at Christmastime ours wouldn't be complete without the boys each getting a half-gallon jug of these pickled eggs for their enjoyment.  I like to make them about a week before gift-giving otherwise they get too red (and too strong) to turn some people off.  My opinion is that they reach their peak after 3-4 days, after that, pucker up!  Got a game room or a bar set up somewhere?  They sure look good in a big ole jar next to a cold beer and if you fancy something a little more for the ladies I'll share my Drunken Martini Tomatoes with you a bit later on.  Using the fruit as appetizers and the juice as a base for a Bloody Mary these too make a great conversation piece at the bar.  I made 7 quarts a while back for gift-giving.  For now, here's the pickled eggs. 

Thanks for stopping in, catch 'ya later!
