Zucchini

As I have discussed previously, we had a garden this year. I would love to say that as we planted this garden we performed all of the necessary research on spacing, production, sunlight, water, etc, but we didn't. We kind of winged it. Considering I'm married to a farmer I assume that they just know this stuff. While Kade did a fabulous job using his inner planting senses, we did not imagine how much zucchini we would have. So I took it upon myself to find my favorite Zucchini bread recipe.

The winner! Thanks to a lovely woman named Betty Crocker. I did have to modify cooking times with my little oven and I also added a little nutmeg because I love nutmeg!

The not so winner, I made this batch with the assistance of my sister Lauren. While we did have a great time making this, it was not such a success. We chose this recipe because of the fact that it contained nutmeg. I couldn't get it out of the pan without completely destroying it's original form. It also came out tasting more like pumpkin bread, not sure how that happened.


This was a white zucchini bread I made in the bread maker. It was quick and tasted just like a basic white bread but with a healthy dose of zucchini. Can't lose.

Kade is always good about eating my cooking whether he really enjoys it is another question.

Molly is usually impossible to fall asleep on her own but the cooking must have worn her out. She was a little fussy so I just kept putting her binky in and all of the sudden she just passed out. It was a beautiful moment.

I really am going to miss fresh veggies out of the garden now that fall is on it's way. However, I really enjoy fall.

1. I love jackets! There is something that just makes me feel sassy when I am wearing a cute jacket. I just feel complete.

2. The air seems fresh. There is something wonderful about taking walks, sitting on the porch, or even working in the yard in the fall. Although I love summer, I don't do the whole sweating thing so once it is cool I don't mind exerting myself while outside.

3. Obviously the colors.

4. Back to School. This was the first fall that I didn't have to go to school and while Kade thinks I'm crazy, I miss it. I have been subbing which has been great.

5. I get to see my husband more. Summer is such a busy time for him.
