The Organized Life, September Paint Bucket
September is a favorite month for a lot of people,
and it is certainly for me too…
Temps are moderate,
pumpkins and mums begin to fill the marketplace,
leaves are starting to turn and fall,
and it’s the beginning of football season!
The recipes on my bucket list this month are a nice transition
from the hot summer months to cooler Fall temps
We’re starting to crave a little cozy comfort food,
and we’re looking for easy dinners for busy weeknights,
and many of these recipes are perfect for game day!
The flavor/theme the of the month is Grilled Cheese 😋
You can see photos of the recipes below

Here’s what I made from the August Paint Bucket
The flavor/theme of the month was Mixed Breed,
a hodge podge mix of end of summer recipes
derived from the old adage that
“the dog days” of summer are in August
Sweet Vidalia Onion Dip from Everyday Dishes
was the inspiration for
Easy Peasy Cheesy Vidalia Onion Dip
Spinach Salad with Peaches, Gorgonzola and Almonds
from Aggie’s Kitchen was the inspiration for
Peachy Spinach Salad with Bacon and Pecans
3 Ingredient Grilled Ranch Potatoes from Creme de la Crumb
inspired Ranch Roasted Potatoes
I shared “the Chef’s” recipe for Gringo Enchiladas
They are topped with queso that makes them extra delicious
was inspired by Cheesy Corn Casserole from Plain Chicken
You will want to keep this recipe,
adapted from Evolving Table
in mind for an easy slow cooker meal~
Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Tenderloin Tacos
It will be posting next week on Tuesday
Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream from the archives
were part of the Summer Celebration Menu
I highly recommend making
Caramel Butter Pecan Ice Cream Pie
adapted from Plain Chicken
You can use a ready graham cracker crust
or make your own cookie crust,
or skip the crust altogether
and just make the easy no churn ice cream
On to September!

Can’t believe that August is about to end…where did the time go?
Good Question!!!
This year is flying by. I love grilled cheese and can’t wait for your dessert grilled cheese. Happy Sunday, Jenna
Thanks Pam, I could live on grilled cheese sandwiches 🙂
I need to sort through your site for the next Cork Poppers appetizers! Lots of good things here, that’s for sure. I like September too but wish August was a little longer!
Thanks Jeanie, I never like to see Summer end…
The recipes look great. Did you paint that dog?
Thanks Jessican~ yes, I painted the dog 🐾
Excellent job!!
All of these look so good and comforting! I will be making your Cheesy Comfort Corn Casserole soon as we are having a large gathering here at the LakeHouse very soon! Thank you Jenna!
Thanks Nancy, I hope everyone loves it!
Such yummy ideas! I love this season too, for all the same reasons – cooler temps, fun food and football!! For some reason WordPress isn’t connecting, so I hope this comment comes through.
Thanks so much Carole! Yes, WordPress has had some issues lately, and I’ve spoken to them and they said they’re working on it…sorry!
Almost there, September!!!!
Summer flew by!
I love September and I love the way you organize old and new favorite dishes for me. It gets my brain going to focus on the seasonal food. Cheers!
Thanks Leslie Anne, my monthly bucket list motivates me to try new things, and saves time by having already narrowed down choices to pick from…looking forward to cooler temps!
Jenna, I’m looking forward to all the yummy dishes you will be cooking up in September. I saved the cheesy corn casserole recipe. I can see this becoming a wonderful addition to holiday dinners. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Thank you Shannon, the corn casserole is perfect for holiday dinners, I hope you enjoy! Happy almost September!
Jenna, you are one of the most organized individuals! Thanks for sharing all of these dishes. I’m definitely interested in the spinach and peach salad. And of course the caramel butter pecan pie!!!
Thank you Sarah, making a monthly list of recipes I want to make, helps me save time when I’m trying to figure out what I want to cook 🙂
So many wonderful recipe ideas here. I’m still savoring the last days of August, but will look forward to fall starting to creep in during September.
Thank you! I hate to say good bye to summer, but I do look forward to fall food and cooler temps!
My mouth is watering here looking at all of this delicious food. A “grilled cheese” theme sounds wonderful! October is my favorite month, but September comes a close second.
Thanks so much Pattie! I could live on grilled cheese sandwiches, I’m looking forward to trying some new versions this month~ Happy September!
I want to come and eat and your house, Jenna! All your recipes are winners in my book.
Aw, thanks so much Kitty! You are welcome any time!
Walking out this morning I felt fall and wondered where summer went. Grilled cheese, my fave!
Leaves are falling here, but I haven’t felt any coolness yet~ I think I could live happily on grilled cheese 🙂
Wow Jenna – what a wonderful line-up of mouth watering recipes. I’d have a hard time deciding which one first but the Ritz cracker chicken sounds scrumptious. And the caramel butter pecan ice cream pie – oh my! And I don’t even have a sweet tooth lol. Thanks for sharing all this deliciousness and happy cooking! I hope you have a lovely week!
Thanks so much Kim, the Ritz cracker chicken will be coming up soon, it’s amazing! Happy September!
I couldn’t begin to choose a favorite from all those beautiful dishes!
Thank you Linda!
Loving the early September inspiration! Nice ‘dog art’!
Thank you 🙂
You’re always cooking up tasty recipes in your kitchen Jenna! ♥
I’ve made copies of several of these recipes Jenna….yummy! Love your art as usual. hugs Kari
You’re the sweetest! thanks Kari!
So many of the recipes on your bucket list do sounds just perfect for fall!
Thank you so much, I am ready for Fall!
That is quite a tantalizing collection!! How to choose? Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Hope you’re enjoying the last weekend of summer.
Thank you Helen, it’s handy to have a short list of recipes you want to try!
