I’ve been making a lot of zucchini bread. The only kind I’ve never made is the one that used to sneak into our office a million times every summer 25 years ago. You know the one… It was just called ‘Zucchini Bread’…. Not Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread or Lemon Zucchini Bread or Cheese & Olive Zucchini Bread. I remember that it was light in color and the green zucchini flecks … Continue reading →

This, on the other … Continue reading →
Go directly to recipe Everyday I go down to the garden and pick all of the long, green things…and everyday there are still more to pick! I've fixed them in every way known to man (and woman), cold, hot, raw, cooked, shredded, cubed, sliced, sauced, stuffed and spiced. I've put them in everything I could think of (including the compost bin but that inspires the 'starving children in India – … Continue reading →
