Well, I guess my inspiration faded FAST! This summer has been an absolute whirlwind! My business is booming and I’m running in every direction lately. I’m not complaining though….having the extra $$ is super! My garden is coming along still and is producing like crazy. I’m excited for canning time! Hopefully I’ll have the time for canning time. 🙂 Below is my latest recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Bread. If you have zucchini or know someone who does, this is a great way to get your kids to eat it. Even the big kids (like me). There’s no fat or oil, just applesauce and fat free sour cream. Enjoy!
