How to make pickles via A Beautiful Mess:
Slice up your veggies and place in a glass jar. I like to use cucumbers for classic pickles but really you can pickle just about anything. Try root vegetables like radishes and carrots. Place slices veggies in the jar and add a few peppercorns and dill sprigs.
In a bowl combine 1 cup water, 1 cup white vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir to dissolve. Pour into your veggie filled jar(s). Seal and leave in the refrigerator overnight. These will be ready the next morning and can last up to a month. The longer they set the softer and more… uh… pickled they will get. So if you like a little crisp to your pickle don’t wait too long.

10 Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes!
For a humble root vegetable, the sweet potato sure does have a lot going for it. The orange tuber packs 438% of your daily value of infection-fighting vitamin A and, like carrots, sweet potatoes are a major source of skin-protecting beta-carotene. While bananas are often touted as the go-to source of potassium, a medium sweet potato has 28% more potassium than a banana. (The mineral helps your body absorb fluids to replace sweat losses.)
Whether sweet potatoes only enter your kitchen on Thanksgiving or they have a regular spot in your cooking rotation, you could probably use more delicious ways to prepare them. Here are 10 recipes for dishes from fries to soup—each with about 300 calories or less.
