July was another busy month in the kitchen. The heat didn’t keep me from cooking at all.

For the Fourth of July I made a few batches of homemade rolls for pulled pork sliders. Oh goodness, they were tasty, and simple to make too.

I made a bunch of desserts for the Fourth of July too, but I only managed to get a picture of the Cherry Pie.

I had a few fresh peaches to use, so I made a Peach Cobbler.

I also had a few zucchini, that were perfect for zucchini bread.

I got back into the habit of making homemade bread. It is so fun to make bread from scratch, and it is delicious too.

I made an apricot pie too. I heart apricot pie.

One of our favorite restaurants is Chicken Mary’s. Unfortunately we don’t get to visit there often, so I have been making dishes close to theirs at home. Fried Chicken, Spaghetti, and Homemade Bread, a KS tradition.

Just look at the apricot pie.

I’ve made several Chocolate Bundt cakes this month too.

I’ve made a few breadsticks too.

I’ve also baked a vanilla cake or two.

I whipped up some homemade Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast for dinner night.

How I love to make cinnamon rolls. They make the best breakfast for actual breakfast the next morning.

I baked some more bread, and baked a Dutch Apple Pie too.

Such a simple and tasty side.

The Dutch Apple Pie was amazing topped off with Vanilla Ice Cream.

Oh yeah! More Chocolate Bundt Cake.

I made another Cherry Pie towards the end of the month. I made a double crust for James, he loved it.

Of course there were lots and lots of cookies.

I know August will be another busy month of cooking. We’ve been shying more and more away from take-out, but not going completely take-out free. I appreciate the break from the kitchen duties when I can get it.
