I can’t believe it is July. I feel like I say that every month…They seem to go so fast.

Today is Chef Kyrie’s fifth birthday…Wait until you see what I picked up for her. It is adorable, and I am going to blog it later, maybe not today but later in the week.

I checked out the Daring Bakers Challenge for this month and all I can say is…WOW.  The reveal is Wednesday the 30th of July so mark your calenders and be sure to check in.  Yes it is that good!

It is interesting to look at the statistics and see what the top posts for each month were.  I decided to do a top five list for June.  Actually it is the top six list because since I posted the 50 Best Cookie Recipes that has been the top  post every single month. The day I post something that knocks THAT out I will be amazed.

Anyway, other than that the five top posts (in order) are:

  1.  How to Make Your Own Wedding Cake
  2. Old Fashioned Molasses Crinkles
  3. Double Chocolate Toffee Cookies
  4. Homemade HotDog or Hamburger Buns
  5. Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I could have guessed the wedding cake… ;)

The poll for June was What is your favorite bread?  I thought the winner was going to be French Baguette but Whole Wheat took the lead by one vote at the last minute. I actually have two recipes up for whole wheat bread:

  1. Whole Wheat Molasses Bread
  2. Whole Wheat Oatmeal Bread

and then I have a recipe for everyday whole wheat bread that I will be posting in the next few days. I will be putting a new poll up for July a little later.  The poll for this month is the battle of the mixers.  Bosch, Kitchenaide, or write in your own favorite.

You see,  Kitchen aide bites when it comes to bread making. Maybe if you make the occasional loaf..but if you make whole wheat bread in six loaf batches a couple of times a week like I do your beloved KA is going to die a horrible, and painful death. I promise.   For bread there is nothing like a Bosch.  BUT KA is the bomb at mixing batters and things…so…therein lies  my dilemma. Should I just splurge and have both?

July is the big birthday month here. I don’t know what God was thinking but 3 out of 8 kids are July babies.  Kyrie (5) on the 1st, Nick (8) on the 3rd, and Matt (16) on the 11th. I am making a cake for Kyrie today, haven’t decided what yet.  Brilliant.  I have waited until the last minute again!

So.  Welcome to July. :)
