The Organized Life, August Paint Bucket
August already???
School starts back in early to mid August in Alabama, so when the calendar hits August 1, it really feels like summer is over…the heat will stick around until October though, and our markets and grocery stores are still full of fresh summer produce
Blueberries are still in abundance at great prices so
the Flavor of the Month for August is
Blueberry
Not only do blueberries taste delicious, they are so versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes both sweet and savory. Did you know that blueberries are incredibly good for you as well?
Here are the top seven health benefits of blueberries:
- High in Antioxidants
- Help Fight Cancer
- Amp Up Weight Loss
- Boost Brain Health
- Alleviate Inflammation
- Support Digestion
- Promote Heart Health
So let’s eat some blueberries this month!

Love to read your monthly lists! They are so inspiring.
Thank you Stacey! We are having a rainy week which always puts me in a cooking mood…
Jenna, I loved your pineapple offerings and can’t wait for the blueberry recipes. Blueberry biscuits are calling my name! It has rained 4 inches at my house since yesterday afternoon.
We are drowning on the coast too! I hope it’s not too much rain for your beautiful garden…since I can’t go outside today I will be playing with the 2 pints of blueberries in my refrigerator!
Loving your paint bucket! Oh I do love me some pineapple and I like to eat frozen blueberries. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, my paint bucket really motivates me cook and try new things 🙂
Jenna, we love fresh blueberries here Jenna, a staple in the refrigerator. All this months list look and sound delish. Like you, if it’s raining, which it is here cooking is on my mind! I love a rainy day at the beach sometimes……..
Thanks Emily! I’m so glad I went to the store yesterday, it’s raining buckets today! Happy cooking…
