So amidst the craziness that is this week, I put together August's menu. I can hardly believe that July is already gone! As usual, if some of the recipes from this month's menu sound like something you'd like to try, just let me know and I'll send you the link. And if you're lucky, I'll post a recipe or two from the menu to share with you. Enjoy!
So I know July has already begun, but the month wouldn't be complete without a new monthly menu for July!

If some of the recipes from this month's menu sound like something you'd like to try, just let me know and I'll send you the link. Enjoy!

I am actually reposting this recipe from quite a while ago. We made it again last week, and it was so good I couldn't help but post it again. While I was at it, I decided to update the pictures and make some adjustments to the recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did, because I got hungry just thinking about it! Let me just start out by saying this is most definitely one of my most favorite dishes...ever! Oh my goodness I loved it. And so did Prince Charming and Rapunzel. I would definitely make…
A few weeks ago, we took the plunge to start up our summer garden again. We booked a lawn care specialist from https://www.lawncare.net/service-areas/massachusetts/ to come and take a look at what could be done to get the grass looking a little happier. Prince Charming built another planter box for us, and we took an entire morning to loosen the ground, spread soil, and plant our seeds. You can see how badly the garden looked before and after in the gallery shown below. It definitely looks so much better! This year, we planted sweet corn, carrots, watermelon, cucumber, zucchini, sunflowers, geraniums,…
