Zuchinni Bread

Well, Steve has been camping with his brothers and I'm bored so I thought I would share a recipe I have for zuchinni bread. It is REALLY good!
We got our garden in a little late this year but hopefully this next month we should have some zuchinni ready to eat!
I got this recipe from my mom, who got it from her friend Vicky. I'm not sure if it was her own or one she got from somewhere.


Zuchinni Bread
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
Beat the above ingredients together. Add the following-
2 cups zuchinni* 2 tsp.vanilla
3 cups flour 1/4 tsp.baking powder
1 tsp.baking soda 2 tsp. cinnamon

Makes one loaf. Bake @ 350 for 1 hour.

I didn't make this last year and I seem to think that I could actually make two loaves with this recipe. But I don't remember. I'll have to try it again in a few weeks when I have some ready and let you know.
* I chop mine up and put it in a blender or food processor until it is a puree. The bread holds together better this way then if you just grate/shred the zuchinni.
***UPDATE***
This DOES make two loaves and I cut the baking time down to 45-50 min.

My Angel

I just thought I would post a couple of pictures of my beautiful little angel.
She is such a blessing to have in our family and I wouldn't trade being her mommy for anything in the world!

Just a couple more....

I forgot to post pictures of a couple more crafts I recently made.
This first one I made for a friend who is also into crafting. I painted a block, distressed the edges, and printed the saying off my word perfect, then tied a ribbon around the whole thing.



This was just a plain wooden craft frame. I painted the sides and such brown, then cut some scrapebook paper to fit the frame and glued it on with mod podge, Then I just hot glued the ribbon and button on. Cute, huh?
Isn't my baby so cute? Only, she's not a baby anymore,*sniff*

This is a countdown to christmas block set. There is a different number on each side of the blocks, so you just rotate them as you countdown to christmas!

I stained( I think I like paint better) the blocks then attached scrapebook paper on with mod podge, then cut the numbers and letters out of vinyl. I gave this one away at the family reunion raffle. I'm going to make one for me, but paint the blocks instead of staining them.

There you go! Thanks for putting up with me and letting me blog about this kind of stuff! Almost all of the ideas I have gotten from seeing things in people's homes, at craft fairs or even in the store.

Summer friends

So the other day I'm in the house and Steve and V. are out playing in the backyard. They both start shouting at me to come out and look at something. I come out and see that they are standing in front of the lilac bushes looking at it. I come over and they point out a nest with a little bird in it sitting in the bush. Steve said that V. found it first. What good eyes! The nest is hidden and hard to see at first. I went out today and the bird is still in there. Hopefully he'll stay all summer! I'll have to take a picture to post...

Grow old with me!

Today we have been married for six years! Wow, how the time flies! Here's a few engagement and wedding photos. I really don't want to spend to much time on this post. I'd rather be upstairs with my hunny!

There you go! Suffice it to say that I can't think of another person I'd rather be spending my life with! I love Steve so much and am so happy with him and the life that we have. I'm grateful that we were sealed for Time and all Eternity. The thought of spending forever with him is amazing! I look forward to the many years ahead of us.

Grow old with me, the best is yet to be!

I love you Steve!

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I just sometimes get very emotional about certain things and just need to let it out. It makes me feel better. I can't say what it is that I'm frustrated about right now. But thanks for your kind thoughts!
