You will definitely want to make this moist, delicious, spicy Applesauce and Spice Chocolate Chip Cake! It is perfect to share with family and friends, for holidays or absolutely any other day of the week!

Onion Gratin, sweet tender onion slices under a Parmesan crust!

Do you ever find yourself with a limited variety of fresh vegetables before the next grocery trip? That was the inspiration for this Onion Grain. And as it turned out, we absolutely loved it! So much so, that even when our larder is full, we still make this delicious vegetable side dish...plus, onions are a very nutritious vegetable. And one you might want to eat more often!

Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot 09.04.2026

Hello and welcome to another great weekend! 

And what better way to enjoy it, in full, than with a visit to Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! for September 4, 2026!

What makes this link-up special is that we encourage you to link up not only your current posts and good ideas, but also the great stuff in your archives! Yes, let's all show some love for those great posts resting in the archives, until you share them again.

Creamy Paprika Salad Dressing.

Creamy Paprika Salad Dressing seems a bit simple or possibly a little too plain. But don't let looks fool you. It is so, so good! I am sure it is the lime juice. Lime juice makes everything just a little bit better! Break some lettuce into your favorite salad bowl, slice some tomatoes, and drizzle on this Creamy Paprika Salad Dressing for a quick, enjoyable salad, that everyone and I mean everyone, will love. 

The NEW Carry-Out Cuisine for What Did You Read This Month? Book Review Link-y

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!

In My Homestead Kitchen September, Looking Back on August 2026

September got here fast, and slow, if I am being honest. August was hot, hot, hot. And very dry! We had almost no rain with 100+ temps, day after day. July, August and the first part of September are not gardening months in East Texas due to the heat. And I am adjusting my gardening schedule, desires and workload to that fact. All of a sudden, here we are, September 1, 2026. A little side note, 52 years ago at this very time I am pecking out the words to this post, I was in active labor, getting ready to deliver my first born. Whew, so many memories! And now it is time to join Sherry for In My Kitchen!
