Currently September 2022

September! Whew. September started off strong with SCHOOL! Eighth grade!! We were one full week of school in and then…..my family managed to get COVID. We lost a week of living in the outside world. I stayed in the bedroom, and office and went into the kitchen when I needed to. Casey slept for like three days straight. It hit him hard for a bit. Cooper had a pretty mild case. The first two days he was sore and had a scratchy throat. I am glad I managed to not get it while I helped take care of them. We were just getting into the rhythm of working from home while he was at school and boop! Life happened. I did so much overthinking during that week, my brain is still exhausted.

September was filled with some fun things-a few Virgo birthday parties, and visits with friends. I pushed through my creative block and made some new things that I’ll be sharing soon.

Here are my September pages in my Currently Workbook!

Roasted Vegetable Galette

Do we call this Roasted Vegetable Galette or Roasted Vegetable Crostada? I added chimichurri so I’m not sure it’s French or Italian.

We’ll call it a galette because I can remember my Mom liking that word. Ok, now that that’s settled, Roasted Vegetable Galette is what happens when I am not ready to give into autumn yet and I have the last of the summer vegetables piling up on the counter. Also, this is the time of year when I see all of the Trader Joe’s pie crust and puff pastry and I decide to buy some on a whim. Your PSL is my pie crust.

Speaking of pie crust. There’s always a sense of hope when I have pie crust in my freezer. I don’t always use it, but I like that it’s there. It’s like that container of baking soda we had in the fridge for like 5+ years when I was a kid. It’s a familiar face in the fridge. If I’m not careful, it can be a crazy marker of time. A true blast from the past! It also gives me the power to make magic on a whim as long as I have not reached the time threshold.

Serve it with a salad and you have a great breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. This galette is great at room temperature too. Totally picnic worthy. But for now, it’s my lunch.
