Hi Y’all! It’s been a busy and hectic Summer, but I’m so excited to write this post. I must say that we’ve had the best Summer in 11 years here in North Texas. Usually, we hit temperatures between 115 -117 F, but this year, I think 107 was the highest in my neck of the woods. There are no complaints from this blogger. They say climate change is a hoax, but the climate has ‘indeed’ changed this year.

A quick update on the garden: if you are new to the blog, welcome. However, I have struggled to grow things over the years, and the more I try, the better it gets. This year, I planted okras, sweet mini bell peppers, and tomatoes. And I will say that I was not disappointed.

Getting back to the topic, I absolutely love lemon cheesecake, and I would always get it for dessert if it were on the menu when going out to eat. I know there are so many cheesecake recipes out here, and I have tried a few of them, but I always come back to the lemon cheesecake every time. So fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, and I’m getting groceries, and I see this Gluten Free Kinnikinnick Graham Style Crust box in the baking aisle, and it’s specifically for making cheesecake. So I buy it and forget about it in the pantry. I’m literally at the grocery store and walking through the baked goods aisle and eyeing some cheesecake slices when I remember I had wanted to try making it myself. So I buy a few items and head home, and voila! I officially made Lemon Cheesecake for the first time!

Disclaimer: A lot of folks complain that they can’t bake. And in my opinion, that is not true. Just look at my journey. I don’t care what you believe about your baking skills. If you can follow instructions, then you can bake.

Folks, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here, for following, for reading, for liking, and for being you. It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but I want to let you know that I am so thankful for you. I hope that the remaining months of this year go extremely well for you, your family, your loved ones, and everyone you hold dear.

Until I come your merry way again, I remain
