Apparently, the other day was National Zucchini Day. I'm not sure who actually coins these days. Are they officially on the calendar? I think not but, we were happy to celebrate in our own way. If you read this blog religiously (hoepfully), you'll remember my post (just last week) with our Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe. We made that cake from the largest zucchini we've ever seen--grown straight from our garden (and subsequently, the second picture with my daughter is of another zucchini grown in our garden just a week … [Read more...]

It’s important to note that any light white fish can be substituted for the Tilapia in fish tacos. And, you can add any additional toppings you’d like. … [Read more...]
