a recipe for your abundant garden produce

Another summer is dwindling down and as each summer before, this summer seems to have flown by. Perhaps it is because we were trying to make the most of the freedom summer brings knowing our family is entering the phase of school this fall. While it is an exciting milestone, part of me can't help but feel a bit sad that some of the innocence of childhood, before they enter the school chapter of their life, is fading away. However, I'm also thrilled to see how excited Shepherd is for school; to witness the growth, new discoveries, knowledge, new friendships and adventures that school brings.

As summer draws to a close, the garden is producing faster than we can pick. During the spring garden planting, it seems as though it will be an eternity before we will see the fruits(and veggies) of our labor, but just as quickly, summer flew by and the garden harvest is abundant. Much like our kids going off to school; it seems as though that phase of life is so far in the future, but all of a sudden they've grown up and we're entering this new chapter of our lives.

I'm sure if you have a garden, you are always looking for new ways to incorporate your produce into your cooking and baking. This zucchini bread recipe is the perfect sweet treat to your overflowing zucchini plant. And it would also make the perfect after school snack :)
