Decadent Garden Zucchini Bread
This morning I pulled a recipe off of Allrecipes for zucchini bread, but as I started preparing it, I found I was out of many of the ingredients. However, disaster was averted with a little creativity and a lot of luck. Because I was sprinkling this, dumping that, and dashing a little of everything, it was difficult to record the exact recipe, but here’s a stab at it. 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 3…

Summer Sauté with Blue Potatoes, Sweet Onion and Zucchini

Last summer, I began looking for ways to prepare squash and zucchini other than my usual squash chips or Greek Pasta, so I tossed a handful of chopped squash in with the potatoes and onions. After tweaking with the recipe, I’ve found a combination that has lit up my taste buds. Chop up in equal parts zucchini, sweet…

Last summer I posted a recipe for Three Cheese Stuffed Peppers which used bread crumbs and mushrooms, but this summer I have been enjoying using Mahatma Saffron Yellow Rice. This recipe…

And She Stomped Her Terrible Feet and Gnashed Her Terrible Teeth
I noticed that the stand of corn at the corner of the Governor’s Mansion property on Person and Jones is still green and lush. I think they have a whole team of people to ensure it stays healthy and the “Plant a Row for the Hungry” sign stays clean and straight. Seeing that only fueled my fire as I laid to waste the rest of my bug infested crunchy crop. We did have a friend offer his machete, but…

Updated Recipe: Spinach and Feta Wine Sauce Stuffed Chicken
Because I cannot resist feta, here goes another quick and easy recipe. The measurements below are loose. It is very similar to the Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken, but I have doubled the stuffing for the sauce, added some things, and dropped the bacon and broth. Serves 6. Ingredients: 6 boneless chicken breasts4 tbs butter (or more if you like butter!), can substitute with olive oil1 bag of fresh, frozen spinach, chopped1 8 oz package of block or crumbled feta2…
