It's HERE! 👉 (Your July Bucket List)

knead

Hey friends❣️

July! Wow. It’s the month that defines summer, but that can mean so many different things depending on where you’re reading from.

Here in Wisconsin we’re just getting started ~ last Sunday’s farmers market was all spring onions and lettuces, kohlrabi, rhubarb, snap peas, and a few baby squash here and there.

But the US is big, and I know many of you are already in full summer mode. So let’s get to it. Friends below the equator, save these for your summer!

Your must make recipes for July

I'm a magpie when it comes to heirloom cherry tomatoes. I literally can't pass them by without buying a pint or two, and there are always lots on my counter. So even before the big guys are ready, these gems scratch the tomato itch!

Sheet cakes are big this month because we're all eating outside (and we all want cake!)

Staying hydrated is important in 90 degree weather, but sometimes plain water doesn't cut it.

Of course there's red white and blue, it's July after all.

We're still baking in July, but we're folding lots of juicy fruit into our batters!

This is the Cuisinart ice cream maker I've used for over 20 years. It makes ice cream in 20 minutes, and it never breaks down, partly due to the very simple on/off button (which I appreciate!)

It's currently only $69, which I think is a steal for a machine that gives so much pleasure.

My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
