Aaaaand we’re already in August! Are you watching the olympics? I’m watching the CBC coverage through a VPN. At the men’s beach volleyball match, a Canadian spectator was holding up the sign, “Winter is Coming!” It’s true, we definitely fare better at the winter games, but hopefully we can snag a few medals this year.

The summer months are coming to a close…but that just means pumpkin time is sneaking up! Let’s take a look at some great recipes I’ve made in July…

Sweet Potato Doughnuts from Vegan Richa: The doughnuts I bought a doughnut pan for! Take one was with a muffin tin, but I know they’re going to be even more amazing in their true form…

Carrot Cake Pancakes from Vegan Richa: Another delicious recipe from Richa! If you’re looking to change up your weekend pancake game, try these scrumptious silver dollars!

Suspiciously Delicious Cabbage from Food 52: Suspicious indeed…but it would be hard to go wrong with a half a cup of heavy cream! Minimal effort for third-helping outcome.

Date Squares from Ricardo Cuisine: Date (or Matrimonial) squares are one of my top dessert picks, and this recipe is bakery quality! Plus, they freeze great!
