If you are a fan of lemons and cakes you need to make this. I came across this recipe while I was looking for something sweet to eat for our #worldwidewednesday this past week. We “traveled” to London in honor on the Queen and her passing. I work from home and had the TV on in the other room so I could hear it. I … Continue reading Lemon Drizzle Cake
Today (Saturday) was spent baking this lovely zucchini lemon cake and several loaves of zucchini bread for the freezer. Even though it is early in the overlooked crazy large zucchini’s; I had two that I needed to take care of. Luckily we have had several “normal” size ones to enjoy at dinner time. I am a huge lemon lover, and mix some fresh lemon with … Continue reading Zucchini Lemon Cake
Mary Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? I would say; if asked that it is doing OK; just OK because somethings are doing way better than others. I would argue that it’s more the weathers fault than my own; how could you dispute it? July was the rainiest on record, August has been hazy hot and humid and still a bit damp. Later … Continue reading Spaghetti with lemon and summer cherry tomatoes
I am curious how many people that took up gardening last year because of Covid are still gardening this year? I do know that my local gardening store was a little more prepared for it this year; unlike last year when they were out of just about everything. We have had some sort of a garden for well over 30 years now and it … Continue reading XL Zucchini go-to’s – lemon zucchini tea cake and zucchini bread

Not entirely sure we need more pickles but looks like I might have some Christmas gifts started wink wink! My daughter is a cookbook collector … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard & Burrata
My initial intent was to post about the asparagus that I cut from the garden Friday after work I had pork chops out and a plan. But it was so nice out and we haven’t been able to use the patio or the porch yet this year; it has been too cold and too rainy. Friday afternoon was beautiful out so instead of cooking we … Continue reading lemon zucchini blueberry tea cake
Super quick dinner that everyone will love; if they don’t you are probably reading / following the wrong blog. Or maybe should rethink who you eat dinner with – OK I know you can’t probably stop feeding your kids but you can definitely make them take the “no thank you” bite and they might just like it enough to keep going. You might be thinking … Continue reading Scallopini – Milanese – Piccata
So does anyone even remember what we did before we could google everything we needed to know? I know in my family if any of us have a discussion and happen disagree wink wink; someone immediately pulls out there phone and googles whatever we were discussing. I guess we must have been SO isolated with our knowledge back then? My husband has gone as far … Continue reading Red Sangria – Simple & Delicious
The garden is winding down a bit, and I’m OK with it. It looks like my zucchini and summer squash harvesting days are over but they were very good to us this year. I am going to go on record today and say that I am all set with making zucchini bread for the year. I even had enough very large zucchinis to make a … Continue reading Lemon Zucchini Tea Cake
So I was having a wonderful morning sitting on my little back laundry deck enjoying a cup of tea reading a couple of magazines leisurely pondering what to do today. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to blog about; I always have a couple of recipes that I’ve made recently and feel they are worthy of sharing with you all; just sometimes I am not … Continue reading Lemon Bundt Cake
