Pins I've attempted lately...

Top: original pin. Bottom: My attempt. Review: Really good but really rich. Serve in portions half this size!  http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/peanut-butter-pie-recipe/

Top: original pin. Bottom: My attempt. Review: Gav actually helped a lot with these- measuring the windows and cutting the styrofoam. He's a champ! The benefit of them is that you can pick out the exact fabric and exact measurements you want. The not-so-great is it's not actually much cheaper than store bought curtains, and it's time consuming.

Law of the Harvest

They do the work, we get the benefits, right?  The people we are renting from have a fantastic garden. We have more honeydew and cantaloupe than we can handle!

Also, my mom ended up with a 15 lb zucchini so I had to take advantage and whip up some tried and true zucchini cake...

Preheat oven to 350, then mix all together:

1/2 c butter       1 t baking powder

1/2 c oil          2 cups finely grated zucchini

1 3/4 c sugar      2 1/2 c flour

2 eggs             5 T cocoa

1 T vanilla        1/2 t cinnamon

1/2 c buttermilk   1 t salt

1 t baking soda

 

sprinkle topping: 3/4 c milk chocolate chips, 3/4 c brown sugar, 3/4 c finely chopped pecans (optional).

 

Pour into greased, not floured, 9x13

bake @ 350 for 30-40 min
