It's a Planter!

I need to develop a green thumb so I have an excuse to own such a wonderfully unnecessary planter as this.

Zucchini Bread Summer

I had this memory from previous summers of suffering under the excessive quantity of zucchini and summer squash, so I was surprised when I cooked a simple squash saute and it was AMAZING. This year, to prevent the overwhelm, I found recipes where I could shred and freeze squash in 1 cup portions for zucchini bread or use the blender method. Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa or unsweetened cocoa 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled 1/4 cup canola, vegetable oil, or melted coconut oil 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided Instructions Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, add the eggs, melt...

Cranberry orange loaf

As recently as last week there were probably 4 different types of oranges in my refrigerator. Sumos are a crowd favorite, Cara Cara's are consistently sweet and delicious, and clementines are fun and easy to peel. Oranges are the only fruit that my husband will consistently eat, and so we often end up with too many, or oranges that are too tart to eat. With the baby, there is an additional factor in the mix - we have been supreme-ing all of her oranges so she doesn't choke, and not all oranges are so easily supremed. With all those extra oranges, I needed a solid cranberry orange bread recipe that I could make without running to the store. Subsituting the fresh cranberries for craisins makes this an easy option for most of the year. INGREDIENTS 1 cup fresh cranberries or 3/4 cup craisins 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest (from 1 medium orange) 3/4 cup orange juice (2 medium oranges) 2/3 cup AP flour 2/3 cup whole wheat 2/3 cup almond flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspo...

Recipe Re-do: Lemon Poppyseed Loaf

It's been five years since I updated this recipe and my love for poppy seeds is unchanged. This time around, I'm excited to introduce them to my 11 month old so she can develop a love for them too. I used five different citrus flavors - lemon zest, orange zest, lemon juice, lemon extract AND lemon yogurt, so I am excited for all the lemon-y flavor. I've also moved since I last updated this recipe, and there must be something different about my oven, because it took a little bit longer to bake. I will just have to repeat this again soon and verify that it needs closer to 50 minutes. INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat or oat flour 1/2 cup almond flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly grated zest of 2 large lemons 1/2 orange zest 3/4 cup Greek or other strained yogurt 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/4 cup poppy seeds 1/3 cup avocado oil 1/2 lemon's juice 1 teaspoon lemon extract 2 1/2 tablespoons milk o...
