Hello everyone,

How is August treating you? It’s the dog days of summer here, and I’m loving my air conditioning and cool evening walks. A few leaves have been falling, and I can’t help but feel giddy for the fall. And while most folks are preparing for “back to school,” I’m planning my next trip to Mexico City! In order to splurge while I’m away, I’m taking advantage of all the savings I found in my August Savings Round Up. Check out the full list of internet printable coupons, as well as, rebate apple savings below.

One of my most exciting finds was a rare Amy’s coupon for Buy 1, Get 1 on swirls, snacks or handheld items (like burritos) through 9/15/2018.

There is also a $1.00 coupon for Fieldroast products. I absolutely love their Apple Maple Breakfast “Sausage.” It tastes great chopped up in a tofu scramble for a spectacular weekend brunch.

Cheers and happy shopping!

Homemade Dill Pickles

Hello everyone,

Can you believe it’s August? I can. Because every  time I go check on my garden it looks like a jungle! My cucumbers and squash are going for gold this year, while my tomatoes seem to be slow starters. I’ve harvested so many cucumbers lately that I decided to make *drum roll please* … Homemade Dill Pickles!

I really should have been making dill pickles all along. Making the brine fills the house with an amazing dill-vinegar aroma. It’s also really simple. I thought there was way more to it, but all you need to do is bring a few ingredients to a simmer, chop your veggies for pickling, and put them in Ball jars. Once canned, you simply gently flip the Ball jar upside down a few times each morning to ensure it’s all mixing properly. These quick pickles keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks and are perfect for snacking, sandwiches, and so much more!

I went traditional, but what other veggies would you like to pickle? Let me know in the comments!

Happy snacking!
