WIAW thirteen- A Brand New Wednesday!!

Happy WIAW everyone!!!

Meyer Lemons- Part of a complete breakfast!

This week's eats are particularly special because they all feature ingredients that I've never cooked with before.  I love trying new recipes, and I really love attempting ones that use ingredients that I've never worked with.  Even better yet, is when they exceed your expectations- which all of these recipes did.  See the eats after the jump!

Heaven in a Jar- Homemade Pickled Jalapenos

So I have a confession to make... I love pickled jalapenos.  Not in a casual "oh yeah, this is one of my favorite condiments" kind of way, but rather the shameful "I eat these straight from the jar when no one is looking" kind of way.  Seriously. 

 My love for these pickled peppers started at a very early age.  I was two or so in my dad's arms when I spotted them in the fridge.  Apparently I made quite a fuss and finally my poor father relented, and luckily for me (and dear daddums), I was quite taken with them.  Since then I have finished many a jar, all of them store bought.  That is until now.
