I'm always eager to say something or sometime is my favorite. I love the month of October, black coffee is amazing, and I'd live in the mountains if I could. I tend to keep the things I don't like to myself. However, I will share that August is probably my least favorite month. It's usually hot, my brain still associates August with going back to school/band camp, and all the fun family times are coming to an end. The one saving grace for August is the produce.
Summer produce is still in full swing while the fall produce is starting to make an appearance. It's a time when early apples are cozied up with peaches and Brussel sprouts make there debut at the market. The next two months are a great transition time for food. As with July, August is a great time to can- especially if you know frost is headed your way in a month or two!

Hi Erin! I'm working my way through the Whole 30, and I'm finding SO many wonderful things to make on your site - the egg and green bean skillet looks amazing! I'll have to leave off the cheese, but I'm thinking it will still be delectable. Thank you!
