Here is my September plan! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve made it to the Centerville Farmers Market - Indiana, so I am so excited to be there most of the month! Fall is my FAVORITE season and it’s almost here!!

Homemade nachos are so easy, and my toddler was talking about “not-toes” for days 😂 They are also an amazing meal for masking the fact that you don’t have a lot of meat on hand. For this pan I had a tiny bit of leftover taco meat mixed with beans that I had stuck in the freezer after our last taco night, and I mixed it with, you guessed it, more beans to make it stretch for a full meal. Add the cheese, peppers, onions, tomatoes, whatever you have on hand, and I promise you won’t miss the meat. You could honestly skip it completely!
Very cheap, quick and easy, and filling. The one downside is they’re not nearly as good leftover, unless reheated in the oven.

How’s everyone enjoying their “ber”months?
The pumpkin spice may have been broken out a little prematurely 😅

And pretty sure they marry each other 😉
Honestly, this cheesy pesto mac ended up being amazing, and my husband liked it too 😂

Ignore the dirty windshield 😅 the sky east of Centerville at 7:30 this morning 😍

To be honest, I don’t like chickens. I do, however, miss having something to throw scraps and bugs to!

Centerville Farmers Market - Indiana

My family has been a little under the weather this week and I had some lemons that needed used, so I thought I’d try to make some honey ginger lemonade.

1 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cups water
1/2 (ish) cup honey
Sliced ginger

Bring 1 cup water and your ginger to a boil, then remove from heat, add honey, and set aside. I used about 3/4” piece of ginger.
Add remaining 4 cups of water and the Leon juice to your pitcher. Add ginger water and stir.
Chill in the fridge or serve immediately over ice.

If you don’t like lemon pulp or ginger particles, you can strain it. I don’t mind so I left it 🤷‍♀️
This does taste “healthy” 😂 you can totally add more honey, substitute sugar instead, or leave out the ginger, totally up to you. I happened to have a good bit of crystallized honey and a sore throat, so thats what I used. Just remember to use a wooden spoon for your honey!
As with most of my cooking, ratios depend heavily on what I’m feeling at the moment and what I have on hand. Feel free to tweak things to air for you. Lemonade is hard to mess up!

Let me know if you try it or have any questions! Follow along for more :)

So far no mold, and the apple is starting to smell like vinegar!
