As a follow up to my previous Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread recipe, I wanted to share with you my other favorite use for extra zucchini – fritters!

Last week I told you about the Mini Spinach and Cheddar Frittatas I made for the peanut’s naming. In addition to an egg dish, I wanted to include a light and summery salad. I had a hard time thinking of what to do that wouldn’t overlap with the veggies already present as a side for … Continue reading Asparagus and Zucchini Ribbon Salad

I have to confess, I’ve been holding out on you. I first discovered this recipe last summer, and even though it was HUGELY successful I haven’t gotten around to sharing until now!

Ahhh, the crisp cool weather of fall…I don’t know about you, but the end of the summer heat (and sunblock and chlorine and sand!) comes as quite a relief for me, and I welcome the leaves changing color and the cooler weather finally arriving.
