TSW Daybook~ August 2019

For Today: 8/5/19

_____________________________

Looking out my window

It’s nice and sunny outside.
Our high for today is 88 degrees.

I am thinking

I need to update and refresh some old blog posts.

I am thankful

For God's provision each day.

One of my favorite things

     Drinking homemade iced tea and lemonade in the summer.

I am creating

A list of food items I need to replace with better options (nutrition-wise).

I am wearing

An orange blouse, black capris, and brown flip flops.

I am reading

Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.

I’m watching

Cooking videos on Youtube :-)

I’m listening to

The sound of the T.V. playing in the background.

I am hoping

We get to visit that place we've been talking about checking out in town that has fresh homegrown seasonal produce all year long.

I am learning

Why eating foods prepared the traditional way is healthier than all the popular diet trends out there thanks to reading Nourishing Traditions. 

In my kitchen

Blueberry and Strawberry Freezer Jams

I have been making freezer jams for the first time ever this summer. I have made several flavors like these strawberry and blueberry ones shown above. I didn't know what I was missing.

YUM!!!

Board room

Speaking of freezer jams you can check out my Freezer Jams board for ideas on different flavor combinations:

Post Script

There is a website dedicated to cooking traditional foods I just learned about called Mary's Nest Cooking School. I will be visiting this site often for more ideas. I also ran across the Nourishing Traditions website.

A moment from my day

Club "Sandwich" Salad

I’m still making salads each week. My family has enjoyed the variety of new ones we have tried so far. I keep finding new ones to try on Pinterest.

Closing Notes
