Zucchini Bread

Yeah! We are up to 5 eggs a day now. I cannot tell you how excited I was yesterday to come home (after a long day in Washington, D.C.) and use my metal bucket to gather eggs. You see, this brought tears to my eyes as I cherish the days that I (carrying that metal bucket) used to go out with my grandmother to gather the eggs when I stayed with her. Those are the best memories of my childhood. It was so exciting to see how many eggs those chickens had for us. After we gathered them, she would come in and fix a wonderful breakfast. Anyone else out there ever gather eggs with/for their grandparents? May we always cherish those memories.

I thought I would share a recipe with you today that seems to be a highly favorite one here. Also, we have been making this recipe quite alot lately as we are still getting some zucchini coming in. It is very easy to make and VERY yummy!

1/2 c. honey

1/2 c. sucanaut

1 c. coconut oil

2 c. packed, grated zucchini

  1. My cherished childhood memories are of helping my grandpa feed the calves in the barn (I still love the smell of "sweet feed" because it reminds me of him!), picking raspberries off the bushes at the end of their lawn, tending the ducks (sometimes they'd keep the little ones in a tub in the house!) and picking cantaloupe from the garden and then sitting at the picnic table under the english walnut tree to eat it with him :) Oh, how I long for those days again....
