August was one of those months that flew by way too fast. I didn’t spend too much time cooking in the kitchen, and then by the end of the month my oven wonked out… I do have a few photos to share. Some of the goodies I made, and a few I didn’t.

Lately I have been on a Fried Pickle kick. I love them, and they are easy to make too. I pared these fried pickles with BBQ Chicken Sliders. The homemade butter rolls make fantastic slider buns.

My hubby’s co-worker called up and made me an offer. She said I’ll provide the fresh peaches, if you do the baking. It sounded like a great deal to me. I made one batch of Peach Duff to split between us.

She also wanted a Peach Pie. I love making peach pies, they are one of my very favorites.

My mid-afternoon pick me up has been homemade Iced Coffee. I save my coffee from the morning, add a little milk, ice, sugar, and flavored coffee creamer, and it is delicious. It is nice and cool during the hot Summer afternoons.

I had flour tortillas hanging out in the fridge, so I made up a big batch of Sopapillas for the kiddos. I called them Cinnamon Sugar Nachos, and served them with Apple Slices, and Chocolate Sauce.

My oldest kiddo loves homemade Breadsticks. I think he could eat them for every meal.

My favorite late night treat is Tea, Earl Grey, Hot… With sugar please. I’m hooked!

We have new neighbors that have recently moved in next door. They are fantastic, and so kind too. I made them a big batch of Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies to say welcome to the neighborhood.

The next day I was baking a Pumpkin Pie, and my oven started beeping, buzzing, and flashing error codes. It was toast, and the pie didn’t turn out… Ugh, I didn’t fret though, I re-worked my menu, and dug out some of my favorite no-bake recipes to make.

My little gal could eat broccoli with every meal, and so could I. She loved the homemade Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli for lunch. I made a big batch and had lunch for a few days.

One of my favorite no bake treats to make are S’mores Bars. Golden Grahams, Mini Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows, a bit of Butter, and more Marshmallows, and yum. Dylan loved them, he even requested them for his lunch-box dessert.

When we visited my brother in Kansas City, he introduced us to some of his favorite places. Not too far from his house was Lamar’s Donuts. Oh my goodness, these donuts were amazing! I need at least a dozen right now! Time to make another road trip to the North.

I made a batch of Scotcheroos too. They are my favorite no-bake treat.

I hope to get a new oven soon, but the little break has been nice. My hubby sure is missing Chocolate Bundt Cake though. We’ll see what tasty treats September brings our way.
