The End of Summer

-
School starts Wednesday, and with that I promised you a lot of updates on my fun list, my reading list, and my cook book, maybe there were a few other things, but at the moment I just can't remember.
I'll start with the fun list.

̶T̶̶h̶̶e̶ ̶f̶̶a̶̶i̶̶r̶ didn't happen, just a little to expensive to get in plus a free for all ride tag.
Going to the beach -yes and was fun
Baseball games - went to one, the didn't win, but it was still amazing.
Movies - I wanna say yes, but I don't remember which one(s)
B̶̶o̶̶w̶̶l̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶ - didn't happen, oh well
Swimming - yes, it was hot and swimming was almost necessary
Travel/Vacation - yes (at least I did)
Camping - just told you I did
̶D̶̶a̶̶y̶ ̶t̶̶r̶̶i̶̶p̶̶s̶ - don't think they happened either, but wasn't planning far enough ahead.
Fireworks (forth of July kind) - funny enough I fell asleep and missed them entirely. Boo!
Music in the Park Concerts - forgot about those until just now.
̶G̶̶o̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶ ̶t̶̶o̶ ̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶ ̶Z̶̶o̶̶o̶ - again didn't happen because we didn't prepare for it.


Summer wasn't fully according to the fun list I had planned out, but it was fun enough with everything else that went along with it.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
