Grilled chicken breast and garden salad with beet juice dressing

This is the most delicious chicken salad ever and so quick and simple.

The chicken is soo juicy an the salad has so many flavours.

First prepare the marinade for the chicken. Fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil. 

Fast Pickled Banana Peppers

So I've got many banana peppers coming off the two plants I have now and GMF has been begging me to pickle some, so a couple days ago I finally did.  This is my first pickling experience but I think there will be many more to come this summer and fall.  I am really looking forward to pickling beets  (I LOVE pickled beets - even as a kid when I was the pickiest eater ever pickled beets was always a safe bet with me, I know weird eh?).  This pickling technique is just for keeping in the fridge it is not properly canned for storing in a pantry.  Will work on that technique later when I have bigger batches (then I have to find room to store stuff, we don't have a pantry!  thats going to be interesting!)  This jar will last several weeks in the fridge.  Which is fine because we'll eat it in that time.
