Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This simple-to-make chocolate zucchini bread is packed with healthy zucchini, yet tastes like chocolate cake. You can customize it with any flavor of baking chips you like: semi-sweet, milk, dark, white… even peanut butter chips! I recently harvested this whopper of a zucchini from my garden. I usually like to pick my zucchini when they are smaller, but this guy was hiding from me. Since it had gotten so large, I knew it was destined to become zucchini bread, but […]

Fourth of July Celebration Essentials

July 4th is one of my favorite holidays, and I love hosting a good old-fashioned family barbecue with delicious summer food, and lots of red, white & blue Fourth of July Celebration Essentials.

It wasn’t until after Evelynn and I had finished the pie that […]

But, I’m slowly gaining some of my energy back, and summer break officially began this week, so it seemed fitting to celebrate by baking up a batch […]
