In My Homestead Kitchen July, Looking Back on June 2026

June starts out with promises that are quickly lost along the way. The weather is nice, warm but not to hot, yet. School is coming to a close with hopes of a trip to the beach or a lake. Gardens are beginning to offer a harvest to enjoy. And for some vacations are being planned. Then humidity, weeds and overbearing heat take over! June and July for that matter, are the two toughest months in East Texas for comfort, as we join Sherry for In My Kitchen. 

The Blue Zones Kitchen for, What Did You Read This Month Book Review Link-Up.

Welcome to the What Did You Read This Month? Book Review Link-y, a monthly sharing link-up for books! Books of all kinds, romance, suspense, DIY, and my personal favorite, cookbooks! Personally I couldn't be happier that books are once again, back in fashion! 

And a great way to keep them front and center is to share a review of what you have read, if and how you enjoyed it, and if you would recommend that book to a friend! Oh and a story or two of how you came to own or stumbled upon the book would also be fun...because the human connection to a book is just as important! Since books are for everyone, let's all enjoy them, once again!

Low Histamine Recipes to Enjoy. With June Updates!

Like every family out there, we have a lot going on! In our case it is homesteading. With a garden, tending to the chickens and of course the land. Add in learning about our new home state of Texas, and exploring all that we can when we have open time. As well as time with family, and getting ready for the next celebration, because there will be one!  Here recently I have had to add one more thing, a Low Histamine eating plan. 

Closing out June, for Homestead Sunday #16

Welcome to Homestead Sunday, where we share what we have learned, what we do on a regular basis, and what projects we are building, rebuilding or working on. Who are we? We are a three generation family living on six acres in South Eastern Texas. 

And while we have only been in Texas a short time, we have had the homestead mentality and lifestyle for quite a few years. Starting out with our time living in Montana. And, although we are not experts in any way, I hope that what we share with you with this series is helpful, as well as inspirational for you and your own homestead journey. Or even with your own home and yard in the suburbs. Because to homestead is an much an action as it is a lifestyle.
