Welcome to another week of summer! Are you enjoying your last few weeks of August before fall madness begins? I’m trying to enjoy my last one week! It just dawned on me the other day that (Lord willing) this is my last “normal” week before baby arrives.
That means this is the week to finish odds and ends. This is the week to really bump up nutrition and make sure I’m getting plenty of probiotics and broth. This is the week to spend as much time with my kiddos as I can.
There is still a lot to be done in the kitchen. This is prime preserving season. I think I’ll have to skip canning peaches this year. At least I still have quite a few jars from last year. And I’ll still do a little baking with them this week. Maybe I’ll get in one round of corn freezing this week. We’ve still got zucchini from our garden to use up. I think we are done with blueberries and beans at least.
If you missed last week’s recipes there were some delicious treats! Check out the blueberry cake, chocolate zucchini scones and sweet cherry coconut milk ice cream. There are more fun recipes coming this week. Be sure to check back so you don’t miss them.
Here is our menu for the week. I’m trying not to bombard myself with kitchen projects. But somehow that always happens. Hopefully I can keep up. What’s on your menu?
