We are so close! Well, kind of. Thirty-one days until September 1st, the first day of the BEST time of the year: The “ber’s”!!! Four months of cooler/colder weather, pants, coffee, pumpkin spice, autumn birthdays, harvesting and preserving, football, ghost stories, cozy blankets, etc. , etc., …..
Yesterday, I made a post saying farewell to July 2026. I shared that I had some sourdough bread started and it had a lot of work to do. It did a fabulous job! I didn’t take an after shot, but it rose SO beautifully. Here is what I baked off this morning, along with some banana nut muffins from the discard for DH and DD when she gets home later today:

Enjoy this first day of August 2026! I know I will! 🙂
Hello! What have you been up to lately? What have I been up to lately?
You: I hope GREAT things that leave you fulfilled! Reading, watching great movies, visiting with good friends, eating delicious food!
Me: Cooking. Baking. Cleaning. Sorting. All of the crap work I can not get done with my sweet child around.
The baking part led me to a cooking web site I visit frequently: Allrecipes.com. Today, I was looking for a MYO cake mix recipe. I don’t usually buy/use cake mixes, but I was making a super easy chocolate chip cookie bar recipe that calls for a cake mix. I picked one up at Aldi the other day. While making the cookie bars today I found a hole in the bag of cake mix. I decided not to chance it. I know there are recipes on the internet, so I found one on Allrecipes.com.
What I didn’t know is you can join Allrecipes.com and set up a whole profile and Pinterest-type account to save your recipes and share them. I don’t take time to look into this type of thing. It’s usually, get my recipe and go! But, today I joined. I don’t have anything pinned yet, but I thought I would stop by and share my profile anyway. If you decide to visit the site, (maybe you’ve been there many times like me) take a look at some of the MANY recipes that make your life easier and let you DIY (do it yourself). I save a lot of money by not buying mixes, premade, etc.
