Good morning my friends! Did you have a good night's sleep?? I woke up in the best way! I rolled over to find Mister Boozy laying beside me, stretched fully out with his back pressed into me like a full grown cuddle monkey and I spooned him like one of my youngins! He doesn't sleep with us and usually only ever hops in the bed when it's empty so it was a sweet surprise! I wish I got a picture.

 

How is it August already?? I mean, it's hot enough that I believe it, but dang it doesn't seem possible! Uggghhhhh my babies will be leaving soon to go back to school. Nope. Not thinking about that yet. I'm just going to remember how I woke up this morning and hum a tune until I forget what's coming.

 

I shared something on the FB page Friday night that gave me an idea for which recipes to share with you this morning! I have a handful of recipes that I want y'all to try SO BAD. These are the ones that aren't mainstream or popular or whatever so they get overlooked easily but y'all, these are some of my ALL-TIME favorite recipes EVER and I just want the rest of the world to enjoy them too!

 

OK, after taking a look around, there are more than a few so I'll just focus on main dishes today and maybe do sides and desserts some other time.

 

So, save this list for the next time you want to try something different or have a hankering for something new!

You guys REALLY rallied last week with support on the recipes getting the 1-star reviews! THANK YOU!! Many folks wrote to ask HOW to rate them (I guess I should have mentioned that - sorry!). In the recipe card, there are stars displayed under the title you can tap/click on.

 

But even more people wrote to apologize for accidently giving the recipe a low review they couldn't change. Most were tapping somewhere in the middle of the stars thinking it would open up a window to review and rate the recipe but they were accidently giving it a 3-star rating just by tapping. It's WAY too easy to tap/click wrong then there's no way to change it. Aye-ya-ya… Y'all don't EVEN have to apologize! You were literally trying to help and I appreciate you so much for trying! It's a terrible set up but I can't change it. 

 

Y'all are going have to enjoy your coffee without me next weekend! I'll be out of town but I'll try to schedule a goodie to send you anyway!

 

And I know I owe a ton of you email replies (especially after I asked you to pray for Issei  - y'all are literally the BEST). I'm getting to them, I promise! I like to pick a day when I can sit down and take my time and I haven't had one of those lately!

 

Thanks for being here this morning, friend! I'm so glad you decided to spend your morning with me :o)
