We are starting to run out of vegetables by week two since I started using my fermenter. I can’t wait to tell you more about it later. But I made homemade garlicky dill pickles, a salsa starter (pictured below) and am waiting on my sauerkraut to finish up.
The reason we brine or pickle these is because it is easier but also much more healthy. Using this process, it adds probiotics and enzymes back into our diet that help keep our gut healthy.
For lunches, we have enjoyed being able to just pull out our veggies and fruits and make something fresh and delicious. This week I made some Margherita Pita Pizzas which were a HUGE hit with the kids! We have tons of tomatoes and basil in the garden, and I can get the goat cheese for really cheap at Costco, so it was a very inexpensive and tasty lunch.
Here are some meals I plan on making this week, but I only have the following in my fridge: potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, green peppers, kale, eggs, chicken sausage, ground beef, hot dogs. Much will come from the freezer.

I wasn’t sure what a fermenter was so I googled it. The only things that popped up were for brewing beer. Can you tell me about the fermenter? We have tomatoes and tomatillas in our garden so I will definitely be making your salso!
I will be doing a whole post on it very soon, so hang tight!
