Hello there! Ready for more?! This is second half of July’s Simple and in Season round-up as there were simply too many to get through in one stint. Obviously, I didn’t do what everyone told me to do, which was add the entries to a draft post each time they were linked-up. There’s always a next time!




Next, another recipe from me! I made homemade Granola or Honey Nut Toasted Oats with a Ribena Berry Sauce made from ‘in season’ blackcurrants. It was delicious, even if I do say so myself!

>Great post, really fantastic. I do hope you enjoy Julia's book!

>THANKS very much Ren for my book, which arrived last week: I have not had time to really look at it properly, but I am booking today off to relax and read, so watch out for a recipe on my blog soon…I will post a little blurb about it next week along with a test recipe!

>Thanks Laura! I will see how many entries we get next month and how they are split. Sometimes people look for savoury over sweet etc so it could be a good way forwards. If you don't get a chance then by all means submit an older post. Thanks for your comment.

>I agree with the winning recipe Ren, just lovely!
Karen, well done to you. think you are a worthy winner!
I like the sound of splitting up the categories into savoury and sweet although I am off on holiday so. May not get aroung to entering , unless it's ok to use an older blog post, what do you think?

>Ahh Karen, you are a very worthy winner! You really captured the essence of July with all of your amazing garden produce. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed entering and sharing your recipes – blogging events are a great way for everyone to discover new blogs too.
Thanks you also for your comment A Trifle Rushed! Your jam looks delicious and I'll definitelt be trying that too.
We were spoilt this month!
Next month, I wonder whether I should split the recipes in the round up to have one savoury round up and one sweet round up. Any thoughts?

>Well done Ren, what a wonderful selection of recipes. Karen's food looks so delicious a really great winner – congratulations Karen.

>Oh my goodness, I am overwhelmed, I have not won anything in simply ages, and having seen the high level of recipes and photos submitted to this brilliant seasonal event, I was sure someone else would have been in the top spot…..
I really only entered for fun, to introduce myself to the blogging world, make new friends, and join new blogs, as well as admire Ren's wonderful blog here…..the fact that she has only been blogging for about 10 months is amazing!
THANKS so much Ren……this has made my day, probably my week actually!
Thanks to everyone who came to see me at my new blog too…..you have made me feel very welcome, have inspired me and given me confidence to carry on with my new venture and I am pleased to have met you all.
