zucchini garden

Earlier this summer, amidst all of the craziness of wedding prep, we decided we wanted a little garden at our new home. So we planted some zucchini and yellow squash. (And some tomatoes, but we don't need to talk about those).

I've been in heaven with this bounteous harvest (see picture below) because zucchini and yellow squash are my favorite. So yeah, we've eaten lots. And of course made some awesome zucchini bread too.

That's how we discovered that zucchini bread dough is Kyle's absolute favorite thing. Ever. Who would have thought? I mean, it's good, but does it really beat out peanut butter? :) So we've had some dough in the fridge for him, and once we even mixed it with vanilla ice cream. I know, sounds crazy, but it was reallllly good. I have a feeling I'll be experimenting with more zucchini recipes soon. (Have you ever had zucchini lasagna before? I made it last summer and it was quite good, actually).

On that note, it's about that time of year when I will once again make an oreo cake. I have searched high and low for the one I used last year, but I cannot find it. But this one and this one look like they're similar enough, and delicious too. Happy (early) birthday Taush!

Strawberries & veggies

Today I am grateful for good food. I always am, but especially today because it helps me feel better when I am sick :)

Tomato sandwiches

Elana and I had a picnic! And guess what was on the menu? Tomato sandwiches :)

I LOVE MY SISTER!

And I have decided that these are my favorite flowers. I can't remember what they're called, but they're gorgeous.
