In My Kitchen July, looking back on June 2025

Happy July! June was a quiet month around here, with school getting out, and families traveling after big graduation events or simply being released from the daily school schedule. We even were the recipients of a wrapping on the house. Here in Texas when someone "toilet papers' your home as a prank, it is called a wrapping. And now it is July...and we are joining Sherry for In My Kitchen her monthly event where we all get caught up with one another, sharing all the kitchen activity from the month before!
