I made these healthier version of a peanut butter "cup" from a recipe online (no bake peanut butter oat cups by Hungry Happens). You keep them in the freezer, but they do not freeze solid. They are good, but I'm not sure I'd make them again. I used a non-gmo dark chocolate for the top.
The weather . . .
Right now I am . . .
Sipping coffee and writing this blog post.
Thinking and pondering . . .
I'm thinking, that having a phone book again would be useful. Our internet has had way too many outages, and one day I could not get a phone number pulled up on my cell phone. Not even with 5G (cell service outage?). Way too many outages in our area lately. We used to get a free phone book delivered, but have not gotten one in years. We don't have a land line, so that may be the reason.
We are trying to connect with local farmer's market gardener's to see about buying their garlic for this year. I know it won't come in until later, but we are working on it.
I did however, ask one produce stand if they grew their own garlic, as I have purchased it from there years ago (which rotted very quickly). I never asked, as I assumed (never do that) they grew everything. They do not. Always ask at the produce stands. Many ship items in from other states, and the items are not fresh.
How I am feeling . . .
On days I am working outside for hours on the garden, I have zero energy to do intentional exercise. Does that happen to anyone else? Or is that just me? Is it even necessary, after all that labor?
My foot is still healing. Some days it bothers me and other days it's fine.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Sweet potato/sausage and egg scramble.
On the lunch plate . . .
Chicken salad with boiled egg over swedish bread crisp. Blueberries.
On the dinner plate . . .
Not sure just yet, but it could be Southwest Quesadillas.
On the menu . . .
-sheet pan cod with vegetables
-grilled jalapeno popper smash burgers, grilled brussel sprouts
-leftovers
On the reading pile . . .
. . .picked this up for free at the library, so I'm currently reading this book. I feel like one of my bloggers has met this author. It's not my typical fiction book, but so far, I am enjoying it.
I'm also reading online reviews for food processors and madolins. I need both replaced soon. Especially my very old mandolin.

That is such strange weather for this time of year, although I will say, I'm a little jealous of the cooler weather, we hit triple digits this weekend.
I also agree on the outside work, when I do that, I don't do my other workouts because I've already exercised outside. No need to do extra in my opinion. hahah
Have a blessed week Katrina,
Sandra
I enjoyed this chatty email this morning. We had a very cool night last night and this morning but it's supposed to be low 90's by midweek so I believe summer is here to stay.
I hope you have a blessed and productive Monday!
Blessings,
Betsy
Looks like I'll be having to put up some peaches in the very near future. I have very little freezer space, but what do you do with yours if you freeze? Also, I no longer have a canner, so jams without processing? Hope you have some ideas or neighbors will be enjoying some as well! (Oh, husband never-ever uses poisons any of our veggies/fruit. They make it or not in our yard.)
Have a great week ahead Katrina. Mary in GA
Thank you Betsy
Mother Em, when I freeze them, I freeze enough in zip bags for a pie, I freeze them for baking crumbles and other fruit desserts, top them on waffles or pancakes, and I can jam. I have never canned peach pie filling, but that is an idea too, but requires canning. I also use frozen peaches for yogurt fruit dishes and smoothies. Hope that helps.
I have a landlined and we have not received the free phone books for years. I don't think they are making them anymore.
One day... we'll have a great power outage.... cars won't work (electric cars are being sold more and more), no internet, no way to pay bills (here it is almost all on the internet as they closed most banks), no way to remember people's phone numbers.. and cell phones which won't be recharged... yep...
On that lovely note, have a great week ;)
I thought a produce stand would be selling their own grown stuff and find it misleading that they don't unless they a signs saying were the produce is from
Luludou, I was just talking about all of this with a friend. One of my bills comes paperless (email notification). I did not change that, and the company did. If I don't get a paper bill, and the interent is having outages, we don't get them. Also, one other is starting to bill $1.99 for any paper statement. It's so out of control anymore.
Jo-Anne's Ramblings, you are right. Another produce stand we go to for peaches, has signs telling where the other produce comes from. I am told there is a Farmer's Market that has a person who grows there own garlic, so this year I will look for it late summer.
