Mmm… cheesecake. It is so good, and we’ve been on a roll trying out a ton of new recipes. I would love to host a cheesecake party where everyone brings their favorite cheesecake and recipe to share!
Here are some of our favorites:
No Bake Cheesecake with Flavor Variations
What is your favorite cheesecake?
We haven’t really celebrated this, but it might be a fun idea to do. I know that in North Carolina, some places had festivals around this time of year, and they were always a lot of fun.
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Smoked, BBQ, or Roasted Turkey
Corn Casserole, Carrot Souffle
Smoked Salmon Dip, Stuffed Tomatoes – these can also be stuffed with chicken or tuna salad
Watermelon Trees & Strawberry Santas
This time of year seems to be a little busier for us, so I thought it might be helpful if I just got all my special meals and recipes gathered for the month. I checked the menu plan and have made a list of the holidays that we want to celebrate.
If you haven’t seen our Perpetual Meal Plans yet, then you really need to check them out, as they have all kinds of special and unique holidays listed. Now is the time to start making your bucket list for Fall things, if you haven’t already.
You can also check out our Holidays tab and the July Holidays post for even more ideas!
Don’t forget to add upcoming birthdays onto your Meal Plan!

If you’ve been around here for a bit, then you probably know that we have been on a journey to learn more about the Biblical Feasts. Well, the Feast of the Trumpets is almost upon us, and I decided that being prepared makes it more likely that I can follow through with the intentions of celebrating this year.
We plan to try to incorporate some traditional dishes, and we plan to eat by candlelight whenever possible. Please note that I am not an expert, and most of these ideas are just ideas that I have, and I can not say that they are traditional or ‘allowed’ for a traditional Jewish celebration.
Wine or Grape Juice is normally served with meals as well, although we will probably opt for sparkling juice, apple cider, or juice.
You can change whatever recipes you need to make this work for you… you can even buy premade foods and make this work. The idea is to celebrate your BLESSINGS and show THANKFULNESS to GOD.

We make a lot of birthday cakes around here and sometimes people don’t want their icing super sweet like our buttercream icing so I’ve been working on making a less-sweet version and this one seems to be a winner!
If you don’t care for cream cheese you can try it with butter, but we really don’t mind the hint of cream cheese in ours. This also reminds us a lot of the icing we use for my husband’s favorite bean cupcakes… so good! We don’t use any sugar or flour in those and no one ever knows any different!
