TIPPY TIP
Check your local grocery stores for freshly baked breads. I love going to the deli and bakery section of a grocery store. You can easily find deals. I found these brat buns on sale for $1.10 only cause they were made a few days ago and can only be out on their shelves for a day or two.
Just a reminder that I rarely use salt for our dietary needs. I like to keep my recipes at a low sodium level. If you need to alter my recipe, go for it!

Awww, it’s not that bad as you would think cause it’s pickled and not the raw jalapenos 🙂
