My favorite date goodie is to split the date and put in a smidgen of nut butter and a nut, then dip the morsel in chocolate. Put them in the fridge and be ready to have a Delicious Sweet Treat anytime. Can't wait to try the almond bacon. The thought makes my mouth water!

My mom used to make the best date bran muffins using bran cereal! She would soak the cereal in milk, add eggs, flour, baking powder, a little sugar, and chopped dates and they made the best muffins! I make them sometimes too because they’re super easy and tasty and remind me of being a kid and waking up on a Sunday morning to warm muffins.

I will need to re-stock up, & have to replace all my appliances, & home after having suffered intense wind damages out of the South 4/1 totaling my home. The porch roof went 1st, then the front siding, then the back siding, power outage, then the roof went. Don't feel bad for me, I'm okay.

Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️ It's an overcast, damp 58°F today. The sun is attempting to punch through. Dakota and Ash (cats) are channeling Luna and soaking up what sunlight there is. Maggie (dog) is trying to snuggle up close so she can get a little sunshine too 🌤️ I've never had to use bear spray, thank goodness. We do have a black bear that passes through now and then, but he keeps to himself 🐻 Loving the fluffy rug. I hope it works. Can't wait to see the room makeover 🙂 One of my favorite summer squash and zucchini recipes is to cut into rounds, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, lightly coat with potato starch and fry in a cast iron pan with butter and olive or avocado oil 😋 One of my favorite potato recipes is Salted Buttery Chive Potatoes. You can double the recipe. Mini potatoes work best, but babies will do. I use a mix of yellow and red minis. I recommend fresh Chinese Chives if you can get them, but regular will do. I also add a little garlic paste. I know it's a lot of salt, but they're delicious. A win with Family and Friends. Just don't eat them all the time 😊 Jeff Mauro: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jeff-mauro/salt-potatoes-with-butter-and-chives-7164297#reviewsTop Thank you for introducing me to Cara Cara Oranges. Juicy and sweet. Mmmm 🍊 Speaking of rotisserie chicken, we went to SAMs Tuesday and there was a line of people wrapped around the deli/bakery area awaiting a fresh batch of chickens. Thankfully, I didn't need one. It was crazy 😯 I love seeing and hearing about kids taking on tasks to improve their capabilities, to learn new things and how to problem solve, and yes, all good deeds deserve a reward 🤔 Hi Andrea 👋 The Pomodoro Restaurant sounds right up my alley. I'm sure it'd be added to my favorite restaurants list. I love Greek and Italian Cuisine. Everything looked delicious 🤤 Have a great day. Yah's Blessings ❤️

A certain product could be out one summer then you don’t see it again. Anything you can think of in AK that was in and them gone the next summer? Here in Florida, don’t have that issue and if they do change some things, we don’t notice. Till next time! Almost forgot, I really enjoyed your video on beekeeping. Even though I don’t plan to start beekeeping here in Florida i. my 60’s, I appreciate as a follower of your vlogs the time and effort you did to present that. I enjoyed it and learned some bee facts I never knew.

Lauren I thought of you on my recent trip to Fairbanks to visit my family. That was my first time in their Costco (formerly it was Sams Club). The layout was different than Anchorage and at their fuel station, they had three gas pumps in one line. I’ve seen three in Bonney Lake, WA as well. I wonder if they’re normally three in a line? I wish the Costco on Dimond in Anchorage had that many. Anyhoo, it made me think of you when I was in there:) Wasn’t sure if you had ever been in there or not??
