Welcome to the 33rd week of Wake Up Wednesday “Linky” 
I’m currently suffering through the hottest month of the year when my desk fan becomes next to useless no matter how high I turn it up. Homemade ice cream recipes to the rescue!
Joanna’s Andalusian Zucchini Tortilla
Are you curious like me where the zucchini is?
Football season is just about underway! Whether it is a club, college, high school or professional teams are practicing and getting ready for another exciting season. My family loves to watch football. Of course football also means snacks, so to go along with our first game of the season I created this portable SNICKERS Pretzel Snack with cute little football bags.
How to Make Elderberry Extract
I had these delicious Bourbon-Map
le sweet potatoes as one of my sides. Ben doesn’t normally like sweet potatoes (which is one reason I ordered them!- kidding!) but he inhaled these babies. I decided to try to recreate the sweet potato recipe for our Thanksgiving meal and they were pretty spot-on.
Blairsden Mansion Tour: Part 2
In case you missed Part 1, I’m taking you on the mother of all house tours…
at Blairsden Mansion, in Peapack-Gladstone NJ.which was the site of a
Designer Showhouse fundraiser, back in May.
This frosty treat makes a refreshing ending to any summer meal. Simply scoop the slushy mixture into bowls or tall glasses and enjoy a refreshing dessert, all while still getting that melon flavor fix, albeit without all the dripping. Add a splash of vodka for an even sweeter summer adult beverage.
Finally, we found a dresser that fit out needs. It wasn’t too over-scale, had 9 drawers, and was only $100.
I was going to come up with a simple crock pot recipe, and then I found this decadent pumpkin butter recipe from I Bake, He Shoots. I tried it, loved it, and now…it’s the one I’m going to recommend. (Well, that’s an easy first day, isn’t it?)
Ever since I was five, my mother and I have always made this Classic Cherry Pie for special occasions or just dessert. I’ve never lost my taste for cherries…or dessert. This recipe has been a family favorite for years. A simple recipe easy to make for busy days.

I have a special table set for our lunch today using some of the new pieces I found at the auction and yard sales over the week end.
August’s box had some really great products. The first was Whish Shave Crave that is a shaving cream with the scent of grapefruit. Really nice! There was also a citrus-y smelling cologne by Harvey Prince called Ageless.
I planted sunflowers in our garden for the first time this summer and they have made a wonderful addition to our garden. I have dried some of the larger flowers to use in a fall wreath.
Trash to Treasure: Bar Car Edition
We all know that bar carts are all the rage right now and who’s surprised? Not I- even if you don’t want to use them to house alcoholic beverages, how can you not be a fan of a bit of extra storage that you can move around?!

This is a great recipe for using up zucchini from the garden bounty.
I’m not posting this as an expert {I’m not even close} but I do want to share with you all the things I’ve done intuitively or learned that have worked for me on my way making connections, friends or any kind of relationships.
If you had told me two years ago I would be sharing a recipe where the star is beans, I would probably laugh. I was never really one to enjoy eating beans.

Do you have local festivals?
Our county (which consists of 5 small, mainly rural, towns) hosts The Peach Festival, every July, that has been ongoing 1938! Wow! It’s actually the oldest festival in the state of Arkansas. I feel honored to be a part of such amazing history every year.
And did I mention food?
Just like county fairs, our festivals have some of the best food around! Funnel Cakes, Fried Pies, Foot Long Corn Dogs, and Snow Cones, you can pretty much find it all here.

The Peach Festival will start next week, so to get in the “Peachy” spirit I decided to start experimenting with peach recipes.
I love peaches! I love the sweet, juicy taste that runs down your chin as you take a big bite (: In fact I don’t think I have came across a single peach dish that I haven’t loved!
If you have read my bio, then you know I’m a crunchy girl. Technically I love the Earth, try to eat organic as much as possible and I make a lot of our soaps and cleaners. I’m also a vegetarian so I eat a lot of granola.
I really like making my own so I can determine exactly what I am adding to it. So I wanted to share this super easy Baked Granola and Peaches recipe with you today.
Baked Granola & Peaches
What you need:
4 fresh peaches
For Granola:
1 cups oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 brown sugar
1/8 cup oil
1/2 cup homemade or organic maple syrup
What you do:
1) Cut your peaches in half and remove pit.
2) Spoon a small amount of peach out to make room for granola.
3) Mix the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and oil together and then add in maple syrup.
4) Spoon granola onto each peach half.
5) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay peaches on.
6) Bake peaches at 350 for appx 15-20 mins or until peaches are soft.
Another option for Granola:
If you want granola for later, spread evenly on lined cookie sheet and bake. Store in a dry container.
Super easy and super delish! Great for breakfast, brunch or a mid-afternoon snack.
You can top with cream (pictured) if you desire. This cream consists of heavy whipping cream which I mixed until it become creamed. I’m not a cream snob (: I enjoy my Ready Whip and Cool Whip just like anybody else! Ice Cream is also very good on top of the warm peaches!
Pick your Pleasure and Enjoy!
