Jolene's Recipe Journal

Hard to believe that August is coming to an end but that means apple season is just around the corner! For this month's Muffin Monday I made Suzanne P's Dutch Apple Pie Muffins from Taste of Home.

    We are big fans of waffles so I jumped at the chance to join some of my fellow blogger friends to celebrate #NationalWaffleDay today!  Since I've made a ton of sweet waffles, I went searching for a savory option and found Stacey J's BLT Waffle Sliders on the Taste of Home site. 

  Craving the classic summer treat but don't have access to a camp fire?  We've got you covered with these fun spins on S'mores! 

August 8th is National Sneak Zucchini onto Your Neighbors Porch Day!   It's a lot harder nowadays with camera doorbells and such to do that, so why not find some great recipes to use it up instead? Here are 25 ways to use up that bounty of green goodness! 

Beautiful heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, locally made bread, and basil combine into summer's best sandwich!  

My last farm trip I picked up a beautiful bunch of rainbow carrots.  I wanted a recipe that had a sweet base that I knew my guys would eat, but had a little something "extra" for me. I found these Honeyed Carrots with Citrus Basil Gremolata by Naylet L. on the Taste of Home website.

It's Farmer's Market Week!  I do a lot of fun events throughout the year but this is one of my favorites.  I'm always on the lookout for new things to try or new varieties of old favorites.  This time I picked up some striped zucchini.
