It's July 2023

Time to say goodbye to June as we welcome July.

Fun Facts about July

It is the second summer month after June.

There are many countries which have their Independence Day during the month of July. These include the United States, Belarus, Venezuela, Argentina, Belgium, the Bahamas, and the Maldives. The national days for France and Canada occur in July as well.

July is (usually) the warmest month in the Northern Hemisphere on average. It is similar to January in the Southern Hemisphere.

Sometimes the hot, long days of July are called the "dog days of summer".

It is sometimes called the Hay month because the grass dries out due to a lack of rain and can be made into hay.

July's birthstone, the ruby, is often associated with contentment, love, passion, and integrity.

The flowers pictured on this post are larkspur and water lily, July's flowers ...

July is National Blueberry Month, so of course the recipe I am sharing reflects this fact.

Blueberry Coconut Cake

This low carb / keto blueberry coconut cake can be made in a cake pan, cast iron skillet-pan

or as muffins, (which makes it easy to customize).

It’s grain-free, nut-free, sugar-free, and did I mention low carb / keto!

What’s more, it's light, airy, and moist.

The blueberries and coconut flour pair perfectly in this recipe suggestion.
