Sunflowers | On The Creek Blog // www.onthecreekblog.com
This post is all about sunflowers!

My mom loves sunflowers.  She has them sprinkled throughout her garden.  She plants the big, pretty sunflowers that make a statement in her flowerbeds.

I attempted to grow sunflowers this year.  Our neighbors gave us a few plants & even though we planted them, they somehow disappeared!  I don’t know what happened to them!

Then one day, I noticed some tiny sunflowers growing in random areas.  In the driveway.  On the side of the patio.  Then I remembered the bird seed I put out for the birds.  Just like the pumpkin patch, an accidental planting had occurred!

Semi-Homemade Pasta Sauce | On The Creek Blog // www.onthecreekblog.com

Semi-Homemade pasta sauce recipe!

I’ve never really been the type to make homemade pasta sauce.  That was also before I had about a million Roma tomatoes in my garden!  Since I had so many tomatoes, I decided to venture into the waters of homemade sauce making.

I imagined myself adding different spices together until I came out with the perfect pasta sauce.

In reality, I bought a pasta sauce seasoning packet at the grocery store.  It’s the same thing, right?!  Haha!

One thing I didn’t realize was that it takes a lot of tomatoes to make a sauce.  The first time I made tried to make a pasta sauce, I used 14 Roma tomatoes & came out with 2 small jars of sauce.
