So there is this one thing I made....

I had still have a bounty of zucchini from my garden this year. One recipe I have fallen in love with is this chocolate zucchini bread. The recipe said it was brownie like so I took a chance and cooked it in an 8 x 8 pan and let me tell you, that is one of the best brownies I have ever tasted. Ever. Uuuuunfortunatly, despite their deliciousness, they do not stay together very well and you end up with brownie crumbles. Not that I'm complaining. I am going to experiment with baking them in muffin tins to see if they hold up better to travel that way. As soon as I work through the 2nd of two batches I baked and froze about a month ago. Zucchini, by the way, picked fresh from the garden, survives remarkably well in the fridge unwrapped.

So this was all leading to a picture, and a description of what I did with the frozen brownie bits.


That's right, I ate it with ice cream. Sometimes I warm the brownie first and other times I eat the whole thing cold. It reminds me of Coldstone where you get to mix in whatever you want. I love So Delicious coconut vanilla ice cream because I can mix in whatever I want. I usually only eat a small portion and mix in whatever sounds good. Last week I had frozen cherries. Yum. This ice cream you may notice is a bit green. While I wish I could say that it was spinach in that ice cream, it's not. It is however matcha. The flavor was a little strong for me to eat by itself, but mixed with the brownie it was very good.

Left you hanging...

Sorry about that folks.  Sometimes dinner and a good tv show that we are currently obsessed with via netflix streaming win out over posting everything.  As for what was in this blender here:













Beets and a banana!  One time a while back I made brownies where I replaced the apple sauce with pureed steamed beets.  In this second attempt I tried using a recipe that called for banana and apple sauce.  While it turned out decent, this time it was not as good.












Pre-bake














Looks like brownies, right?












They were definitely better warm and would have been delicious along side some ice cream but I didn't try that.

Today I got started in my soon to be garden.  I purchased stuff to make starter soil and I bought seeds!  Too many I am sure, but I got excited.

I will try to post about my plans tomorrow if I have time.  Have a great rest of the weekend!

PS: I have been noticing that no matter how hard I try to get my spacing before and after pictures right, it just doesn't seem to work.  For now I am going to just let it post however it chooses to.  If anyone has any tips on how to fix this, please let me know.  Thanks!
