From Garden to Table - Quick and Delicious Zucchini Bread Recipe


Picture late summer with lots of (yes, even those massive) zucchinis from the garden. You can only enjoy grilled zucchini so many times, right? So, what should you do with the rest? Bake some delicious zucchini bread!

I've been making this recipe for years.  I've adapted it from the Betty Crocker Cookbook and I make it a few times a year, especially when I need to use up giant zucchinis from our garden!  

What's fantastic about this recipe is its simplicity. You can do everything by hand—no need to drag out the mixer. Plus, it makes two loaves, so you can keep one for yourself and gift the other, or pop it in the freezer for later.

Intention of the Month - August 2024 🏖 ☀️



This month's intention, inspired by a tarot reading offers profound insights, encouraging a balance between giving and receiving with an open heart. The Six of Pentacles gently nudges us to share our resources—be it wisdom, time, or financial aid—while also reminding us that seeking help is an essential to our own well being.  Embrace this duality to enhance your life, knowing that giving and receiving are both vital to growth and happiness.

The Knight of Cups invites us to embrace our inner dreamer and inject romance and creativity into our lives. This card encourages the pursuit of personal dreams and the creation of magical moments for oneself, rather than waiting for others to provide them. Trust your instincts, indulge in creative ventures, and let your heart guide you in embodying the Knight's intuitive and romantic energy.

Lastly, the Death card, often misunderstood, actually symbolizes the release of outdated beliefs and the embrace of new beginnings. This is a time for letting go of what no longer serves you, to make space for transformative growth. Reflect on what you need to release and welcome the opportunity for renewal, turning endings into powerful new beginnings.
