I wasn’t able to get to it and when I went into the fridge for something else, I noticed it was gone. OK I can pivot no worries. I am sure there will be another … Continue reading Zucchini Lasagna
Garden is doing OK, or maybe you should ask the deer I bet they have a better feel for how it is going grrrrr. My dog is not doing his job as well as my last dog. We have noticed a definite decline in us enjoying our garden that we spend time money and effort on. The deer and bunnies seem to LOVE it. Where … Continue reading Zucchini Bread
I saw a recipe online for zucchini and I had quite a few to use up this weekend. I think I should have sliced them thinner and used less of them. Scarpaccia in translation means “old shoe” or “bad shoe” google said it references the flat rustic appearance. Mine wasn’t as flat as it should have been. I also am not a fan of my … Continue reading Zucchini Scarpaccia

Current situation is sitting on the porch even though my hair is getting curlier as I sit here in the very thick humid air. I do have the ceiling fan on and there is a breeze but it’s super quiet and very peaceful out here among the noise of the birds, squirrels, hummingbirds and the wind chime. I hope you have a place that brings … Continue reading Texas Sheet Cake with Zucchini

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
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
We are having a bumper crop of zucchini this year, I think we have only had one year in the last 30 where we didn’t have a bumper crop. So you would think we wouldn’t plant more than; I don’t know one two maybe even three plants instead of a six pack. Today I will be starting to bake with the monster ones. I try … Continue reading baked stuffed zucchini
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
