Happy June Y’all! Is it truly already this time of year??
Where does the time go? You probably saw on instagram my french press coffee love last week, but I have really been using it a lot. It is a really great summer option too because you can make cold brew in it. Denny’s is some of my favorite coffee so I have been using that! Oh, and there is a recipe on Monday involving french press and it is perfect for summer 🙂
Read my french press tips here 🙂
I looked out the window Monday night and saw this massive thunderstorm rolling in, and it really looked like that! You may have seen some of Texas on the news, but we have had so much rain and MASSIVE flooding this week. In fact, my town was on the news because the flooding was pretty much covering the entire town, so they had to shut down the streets. That field in the view above looks like a lake now!
I feel like I always am talking to y’all about the weather, but Texas has the most extreme weather, so I just have to share it. A few months ago it was about the tornado, last year I was sharing all about the incredible hail storms we kept having…crazy!! This is on the highway a little ways down from my house on Tuesday. So many strange things happen in the floods. I saw a video of a guy riding his canoe through the city park golf course! And you may have seen on my snapchat (alexisroch) the river I had in my backyard! I felt like I was on an island!
On a lighter note, the pineapple is amazing right now! I buy one pretty much every week. I have been working on some awesome research about pineapple benefits that should be ready to go on Tuesday! It is kind of like this in depth look at lemon I did a few weeks ago.
We had a break in the rain on Memorial Day, so we cooked out steaks, chicken, and veggies. I have a really fun recipe to share in my upcoming newsletter next week that is perfect for the grill! I tested it out again this past weekend, and it was so good! It is especially perfect for fish and chicken. I am soooo happy it’s grilling season!
What are your plans for the weekend? We are hoping to get some sun and a break from the flooding!!

Can’t wait to read about the pineapple benefits – I love that fruit! Hope you have a great weekend! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
It is such an awesome unique chemical! I can’t wait to share on Tuesday, you will enjoy it if you love pineapple! Have a great weekend!
Yes, the pineapple is great right now! We are killing it over here! Our weekend is going to be pool time with friends and just relaxing, woo hoo! I hope your’s is well! xo
We are too, it is so delicious right now!!! That sounds like the perfect way to spend a weekend! We are just hoping the rain will stop and we can drive through town for errands…haven’t been able to in a week!!
We need to use our french press more! I feel like we go through phases where it’s all we use and then it sits in the pantry for months!

I am the same way! I tend to use it way more in the summer!
Wow, that photo of the thunderstorm is gorgeous!
I thought so too! So beautiful! It brought a ton of rain with it too. 2 1/4 inches in 30 minutes…then at least 6 more inches! Crazy!
Happy first June Friday, Alexis! How are you doing with all the rain – hope it will subside soon and you can dry out. Please be careful if you have to get out and about. I’d love a few inches in CA now… Yum, pineapple… can’t wait to see what you’ve researched and created with it… Staying close to home this weekend… having a hot weather spike… thinking of making a cold/room temp pasta or quinoa salad. Maybe get the grill going too… it’s been a while. Enjoy, stay safe!
Thanks Laurie!! Grilling is the best when it starts getting hot! Anything to not have to put the oven on 🙂 Have a great rest of the weekend!
Wow that weather is crazy!
Stopping over from the link up. Hope you can hop by my blog as well!

It has been really crazy and sad this week…hoping we can a break in bad weather soon!
I have been wondering if your part of Texas was getting rain & now I see that you are getting plenty. I hope it decides to stop raining soon! Stay safe. I will look forward to the information you will be sharing about pineapples. I am using lemons everyday in my water & can see the benefits from it. I really appreciated the lemon post. If I would want to go back & look at that sometime, is it under any of your headers? I know you did share the link to it in this post though.
It finally stopped raining this weekend!! I am so happy about that!! That is so great you are seeing benefits from the lemon, how wonderful! You can reference it here: https://www.chemistrycachet.com/reasons-why-you-should-eat-lemon/ or you can go to series -> chemist solutions and I have most of those posts there too 🙂 You will really love the pineapple one for tomorrow! It is such a great fruit too. Have a great week!
