August foods ☀️

Operation get all the gardens under control is in full force! 💪🏼🌱
•
It is so, so, soooo hot out but most mornings and some nights are being spent weeding, mulching and harvesting recently. I’m taking a break from canning right now and have been freezing most of what I’m picking to deal with later. The garden always gets crazy in August and I’m feeling motivated to rein it in so I’m rolling with it! 🙌🏼
•
This is the after and before of the sauce house! 🍅 Tomato plants are coming back with a second wind so I tidied them up and am hoping to get some more out of them! This has been one of my worst tomato years ever but luckily I have plenty canned and frozen from last year still 🙏🏼

Corn 2026! 🌽
•
Lots of really good ears, lots of not really good ears from the rain (can’t be mad it rained though! I should’ve just picked it first 🤦🏼‍♀️), got some huitlacoche, and also still have some ears out there growing! The ones that went bad I’m leaving on the stalk to maybe be able to lay out for the deer and I’m still waiting for the fun, ornamental corn to get a little bigger.
•
Allllll of that corn only filled 3 quart bags but I think I way over packed them and it should’ve been more like 6 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s okay though, the boys loveeee corn and we don’t eat it often so I will either just be able to have leftovers or I can break half off and only cook some. This is the first time I went ahead and cut it off the cob and I’m glad I did! It was a little more work upfront but will save freezer space and also make dinners a little bit easier 😊
•
Huitlacoche, also called corn s**t, or Mexican truffle, is a Mexican delicacy! It’s a fungal disease, tastes similar to a mushroom and is packed with protein, fiber, minerals and antioxidants. It also contains high levels of essential amino acids like lysine, which regular corn doesn’t have. I’m excited to try cooking it on my own this year and adding to quesadillas and enchiladas! 😋
•
Corn maze 2026 was a success! I go back and forth on if growing corn is worth it. I grow it because I can and have the space but it takes a lot of space and is such a sensitive vegetable to grow! Do you grow corn?! 🌽

The summer garden is transitioning from the early crops to the later season crops! Berries have been done for a while, squash and zucchini slowing down, greens beans slowing down, corn should be ready soon and okra, peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes starting to show themselves!!! I actually just planted another round of green beans and I’ll put some more squash and zucchini out there but it’s time to start getting our fall seeds started! 🌱
•
I just canned my first round of pickled okra 😋 and tried cowboy candy for the first time! My banana peppers are sooooo spicy so I thought they’d be perfect for this. I have tons of other hot peppers that will be ready soon that I have canning ideas for! 🌶️
•
My garden looks terrible, there’s weeds everywhere, everything is dying and has diseases but it’s still producing and that’s all that matters!!! 💪🏼🙌🏼
•
Happy gardening friends 👩🏼‍🌾

Hudson is 5!!!! 😭❤️🥳
•
Time truly flies. The baby is no longer a baby and we are having a hard time wrapping our heads around him being 5!!!
•
The first few pictures are from his birthday and the rest are some of my favorites from the past year. He’s grown so much and looks so old all the sudden! He is really just the best and we all love him so so much. Happy birthday Hudsy!!!! “I love you to South Carolina and back with no car”

Had a spur of the moment pantry refresh! 🧼💪🏼 It took two days but felt so good to get done! I haven’t done a major clean out or reorganized in there in forever so while I had everything out I decided to stain the shelves and paint it 😍
•
I know we have a big pantry but in my dream house i would want it three times this size to fit all my jars. I have over 50 under our bed right now 😂 but it works!
•
Anyone else in clean out mode?! I’ve already done all my clothes in the closets/dressers and sent Jacob to goodwill with 5 bags of clothes, a tv, a chair and a rug 🤪
•
Anyways, I’m glad I made some room for the new jars! Canning season is still going! 🫙

Our pond never caught up from last years drought!!! We are struggling! Praying for the heat wave to pass and summer storms (that aren’t bad, just rain 😂) to come!!
