Fresh From The Garden

I just love fresh vegetables from the garden. This is just some of the produce that we have brought in from our raised beds this year. We are currently getting zucchini and green beans too. I have been so excited to store some of this food up for the winter! I made 4 loaves of zucchini bread today. I also made a fresh squash casserole. I am looking forward to canning some green beans this week and we have been eating many fresh salads. Sharing my Zucchini Bread recipe this evening. This is a very moist bread.

Zucchini Bread

3 eggs

1/2 c. honey

1/2 c. sucanat

1 c. coconut oil

2 c. packed, grated, unpeeled zucchini

2 3/4 c. flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 T. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 c. unsweetened flaked coconut

Cream together first 4 ingredients. Stir in zucchini, then add dry ingredients and mix well. Bake in 2 loaf pans or 1 large 13" x 9" cake pan at 350 for 1 hour.

Meet Pinkerton

Rooster? Say what? Yes, you read that right... I am pretty sure that we have a rooster in our flock. Meet Pinkerton. He has been named after the famous spy, Allen Pinkerton. Guess what? We have another rooster too! Yep, his name is Webster (named after another famous spy too). I got a little more than I bargained for with roosters. I just can't believe how fast they have grown. They are now 12 weeks old. We are still anxiously awaiting eggs here. I think we have at least another 6 weeks.

In case you haven't noticed, I have taken an extended break (not intentionally). It has been since May that I have posted. Wow! Well, most of our busy summer activities have slowed down here so ... it is my intention to keep you more informed of how God is actively restoring our health. I look forward to some posts this week updating our garden and some fresh new recipes that I have tried. Also, I am starting a new book, Made to Crave by Lysa Terkeurst. I look forward to sharing some of my reflections on this book as well. So, stay tuned and check back in to catch up on the latest! Hope you all are having a blessed summer.
