Damnit… I made it almost a month before my anxiety took back over, and I woke up to a panic attack.
I hate this feeling, I was doing so much better, and then here comes a set back. I feel like crap, and I’m climbing the walls. Days like this bring out the worst in me.
Whew! August flew by, and here we are in September. I am so happy that September is here. I can’t wait for the First Day of Autumn, and much cooler temperatures too. Autumn is my very favorite time of year!
So, this month’s dinner menu might look a little different. My family is extra picky all of the sudden, and we have school activities two to three times a week, and school events on the weekends too. James is also working a crazy schedule, he closes twice a week, and I need to bring him dinner. I’m trying to keep the menu simple, and transportation friendly.
Monthly Dinner Menu: September
Time to get into the kitchen and get to cooking. Happy September everybody!
The month of July was a very warm one in Kansas. We didn’t too too much in the way of gardening, other than watering plants, and picking lots of tomatoes.
The tomato plants are taller than the fence.
Please bring rain
We’ve been pretty lucky with this year’s tomato crop!
Tucked away, in a shady corner on the north side of the backyard is where Agnes’ bird habitat is. We have two seed feeders, lots of plants, fresh water, and a hummingbird feeder too.
We have a few squirrels that visit the backyard often. There are three different ones that make an appearance at lease once a day to nibble on the seed that the birds have dropped.
This year we have three ruby-throated hummingbirds that have been visiting. We make them fresh food, and they are absolutely beautiful. Two are decent sized and one is teeny-tiny. We are hoping that just maybe some hummingbird chicks will make an appearance.
My avocado Hosta bloomed for the first time this year. It was so beautiful, and very fragrant.
As the month went on, more and more little chicks visited the backyard. We have an adorable baby blue jay, and three baby cardinals. The ones that stole our hearts was Cupcake and Biscuits brood.
Cupcake and Biscuit are Chickadees, and they started this love of bird-watching, and bird-taking-care-of, they are pretty social and follow us to the front yard, and even on walks. Cupcake always lets me know when the feeders need restocked. They also roost near Agnes’ window, and wake us up first thing in the morning. We love these little ones.
Agnes named the chicks Biscoff and Butterscotch, and they are just darling.
I’m wrapping up the vegan meals from July. I was lucky and had lots of fresh veggies sent my way.

I got a text from my neighbor, and she asked if I wanted some homegrown veggies.
There were three very large zucchini.

There were a ton of tomatoes that were ready to be made into sauce.
I prepped all of the veggies for the freezer, and made a big batch of Vegan Minestrone Soup.
