It's Craft Show time and I made aprons for children. I noticed as I was shopping for kitchen utensils for children that the toy sections in the stores don't carry many cooking utensils but lots of dress up and make up items. I just felt that we need to teach our children the art of homemaking. Every child should know how to do simple tasks to help at home.

It's Pickled Egg time at the Fitzsimmons Home! There is nothing as good as a cold pickled egg with your salad or just eating it as a little snack.

Here is the recipe so enjoy!

2 - 16 oz pickled beets (sliced or whole) 1 - 6oz bottle of Jalapeno peppers (sliced or whole)

1 large onion-sliced 3 doz eggs, boiled and peeled

Heat the vinegar, sugar, water, juice from beets, and jalopeno peppers with juice. Bring it to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Layer the hard boiled eggs with onion slices and beets. Then pour hot juices over the eggs and seal with lid. Refrigerate for 1 week. Enjoy!
