Here’s what I made from the August Paint Bucket
The Flavor of the Month was Blueberry
Parmesan Brussels Sprouts from Damn Delicious turned into Brussels Parmesan and Tempura Fried Okra
Southern Sausage and Cornbread Balls were inspired by Chorizo Cornbread Balls from Host the Toast
Easy Buratta and Summer Squash Lasagna from Climbing Grier Mountain became Summer Squash Lasagna with Burrata and Tomatoes
Cracked Out Chicken Bubble Up from Plain Chicken turned into Creamy Bacon Topped Chicken & Biscuits Bake
Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bars from the Gunny Sack became Chocolate Peanut Butter Overload Bars
August was a very tough month, HH passed away unexpectedly on August 1. These past few weeks have been full of grieving of course, but they have also been full of family, many many friends, comfort and love. Yes, my life has changed in a very big way, but it’s the small things, the familiar things, cooking, drawing, painting, writing that haven’t changed…these things continue to bring me daily joy and keep my heart at peace.
Cooking is another art form for me, and the monthly paint bucket is my way of putting my own spin on recipes created by others or made up by me…
What sounds good to you this month?

Jenna, caramel apple sounds like fall has arrived and I am so ready! Lots of great sounding food for September. Mushroom ricotta pasta, now that has to be good❤️
Me too, but I guess we will have to just pretend it’s fall for a while since our temps are still in the 90s!
Mmm, it all looks delicious. It’s still grilling season here so we are enjoying that. 🙂
It’s always grilling season at my house, my son will even grill in the snow!
These are some mighty fine dishes. I love the brussels sprouts/okra combination. You can be sure we are ready for cooler temps as Maine has been quite warm recently. Not the norm for sure.
Yes, I have been longing for a bowl of soup, but not when it’s 95! Thanks Linda~
I’m ready for fall, you recipes and art today are wonderful!
Thank you Sharon!
Caramel apple sounds fun. Loved blueberry month! Your tricked up chicken salad will live long in our household — even if I have to buy blueberries from Chile!
The price of blueberries can really fluctuate, it seems some weeks they are cheap and then all of a sudden they are like gold! I love them though and usually buy them year round 🙂
It’s always hard for me to say good bye to summer with the relaxing beach days and pool fun, but also pleasing to think of cooler crisp nights, late night bonfire talks, fun pumpkins and delicious hot cider and fresh donuts. Your food lineup sounds delicious! LOVE caramel!
Thank you Cyndi, I feel the same way, I love summer but a new season always is exciting…it will be hot in Alabama until mid October, so no sweaters here for a while 🙂
Everything sounds so delicious! Where do I start? 🙂
ha ha, if only the recipes could make themselves!
Lovin’ the sound of that apple pie dip!!! Happy Long Labor Day Weekend Jenna:@)
Love your creativity in the kitchen Jenna, bring on the caramel apple! I’m beyond ready for fall…the heat and humidity has been oppressive this week. Thinking of you and hoping your Labor Day weekend with family is filled with love and fond memories. ♥
Catching my breath here and wanted to say hello. Hope your weekend is good with lots of sunny weather. Everything looks delicious here and I am so ready for fall weather and cooking. Oh, and of course AL football. Thinking of you……….
I always look forward to your bucket list and all the wonderful recipes you gather up for the bucket! Thanks so much for sharing with us on Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!
