Welcome to another issue of Around the Kitchen Table!

Today is the first day of August! While it’s still the middle of the summer, students and their families are planning for school and college and squeezing in that final vacation. Conveniently, this August provides us with five weekends and five chances to barbecue with friends and family, fish, relax with a good book, swim and play! And, even better, after these five, the next weekend is Labor Day! Plan well. Use the weekends wisely. Create memories. Risk a sunburn, or sore muscles and some embarrassing pictures. You’ll cherish them in the future!

Recipes this issue include Cajun Chicken Salad, Cheeseburger Bake, Sausage and Tortellini Stew (Slow Cooker Recipe), Baked Rice Pudding, and Orange Bundt Cake
