Things to make you hungry

I know... another food post but currently I am uploading about a bazillion photos from our San Francisco/Wine Valley trip so I hope to have a series of awesome posts about that soon.

In the mean time:

Chad canned some of our peppers from the garden a couple weeks ago.
Here is another recipe in case you plan on doing this as well!

Another reason why it's great to make things at home and know where your food comes from!

Two of my favorite things to eat/drink and FINALLY a reason to pair them!

Yum, finally something to do with my leftover ginger after Asian cooking!

Did I tell you about the time my family processed 120 lbs of wild boar sausage in one weekend?

There's gotta be something better than the sherbet/sprite shower punch... turns out there is!

For those of us always promising ourselves to DRINK MORE WATER!

And those of us tired of the same old Iced Tea every night...

...because you can't have more variations for tea.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

Intensely Summer

It is intensely Summer around these parts with a heat index of up to 110 degrees most days. That kind of heat just zaps my energy and I have been insanely busy at work which explains my lack of posts here on the ole blog. That and we haven't done anything too exciting lately.

We are planning a trip to San Francisco and the Wine Country soon so my goal is to have a fabulous blog post(s) about our vaca!

Here are some great food related articles I have read recently:

Did I mention it was hot?

Like cook on the sidewalk (apparently literally) hot?

Our kitchen is not small but the heat sources are in a narrow area and it gets HOT!

We just finished the last of my homemade peanut butter ice cream-this is next!

We've got tons of these from the garden!

And I like to use my cucumbers for something other than Southern Pickles.

Have a great weekend everyone!
