Here’s what I made from the July Paint Bucket
Street Corn Nachos turned into Chili Lime Corn & Queso Nachos {psst, you need to make this}
Blueberry Cornbread from Southern Bite, turned into Buttery Blueberry Cornbread {psst, you need to try this too}
Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower from Bon Appetit is a healthy, easy peasy, tasty side dish
Homemade Tater Tots turned into Tater Crabs
Pulled Pork Torta from Cooking in Stilletos turned into BBQ Pork & Corn Torta
Raspberry Whipped Sensation Pie turned into Inside Out Berry Pie
Red White and Blue Bundt turned into Bahama Beach Bundt
I can’t really pick a favorite this month, we loved them all… If it’s too hot in your kitchen to cook, be sure to try the Inside Out Berry Pie, that will cool you down fast!

Thanks so much for putting my Lemon Jar Pies on your Bucket list this month. I always love your list, so many yummies! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
Miz Helen
You’re welcome! I can’t wait to try them! >
Everything sounds great! And even though it’s only 9AM… I’d dive into those nachos if they were in front of me:@)
Thanks for sharing all these yummies!
I would eat those nachos for breakfast! Lots of great dishes to choose from here, thanks Jenna.
Thanks Emily, our new favorite nachos! >
Do you know, I actually had plans for Christmas in July, but it got away. Boy, does time fly by. You stopped me in my tracks with the mention of Blooming Onion Bread. I can’t wait to see this post.
Just an idea brewing in my head right now Pattie, thanks for mentioning it, I will see what I can come up with! >
To be so organized! Can’t wait to see what you try. Especially interesting is the Corn Carbonara.
As usual you’re cooking up a storm in your painted apron Jenna! I’m trying to turn the oven on as little as possible and I need some Inside Out Berry Pie to cool down. Summer is sailing by but I’m already dreading the August heat and humidity. Hope you’re staying cool 🙂
Jenna, you are truly organized! The peach basil flatbread is calling my name! I have fresh peaches and grow basil, sounds so summery and fresh! Thanks for all your cooking inspiration!
You had me at Nachos! They look so good, even though we just ate Mexican last night. That Parm Roasted Cauliflower looks great, too.
Jenna, you have some wonderful recipes here. I shall be checking them all out for inspiration. Loving Mexican food always. Nanchos make a woman happy! Thank you for your sweet visit.
The peach basil flatbread sounds extra yummy. Peaches are so good right now. Especially Chilton County peaches.
thanks Bonnie, I hope to make this tomorrow! >
Peach & Basil Flatbread, Southern Fried Yellow Squash, 4 Cheese Caprese Mac & Cheese,
Baked Coconut Chicken, and No Bake Lemon Jar Pie with Breakfast Nachos thrown in for good measure.
ha! You are hungry Sandra! I’ll let you in on a little secret, I have already made some of these things and you won’t be disappointed 🙂
There won’t be enough time for me to try everything on this list that I want to taste! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday today. Have a great day and come back soon!
