Baking

My grandfather is growing a garden with lots of vegetables this summer and I had gotten some zucchini and squash last week so before the zucchini got too old I decided to make Zucchini Bread last night! 


Here is the recipe I used:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated zucchini

I also added 1 cup while chocolate chips and 1/2 cup coconut to half of my mix...and it was WONDERFUL, it was sweeter and next time I will add it to all of the mix. 

My adorable girl grater ....be sure to remove the seeds from the zucchini 

Added while chocolate chips to the mix! Yum

The final product it was very good!



This recipe makes two loaves. It does not taste like a vegetable is included so it is also good for you, so enjoy! 

Crafts

I get extremely bored when I have time to sit around and relax, so naturally I have to find SOMETHING to do which normally means a craft or baking. I had a wood wreath and I have tons of fabric so I decided to make a fabric inspired summer wreath. Here are the steps to the project: 

1. Start with a wreath..mine was wood and was $1 at the Dollar Tree

2. I cut 5 different fabrics into ~12 inch strips and I cut ~15 strips of each type

3. Tie the strips around the wreath keeping an order to the fabric types..double knot them!

4. Keep tying!...be sure to push them together so that none of the wreath frame shows through

5. I used some of the extra strips and cut out flowers layered them and put a large button on top....

6. I then tied the flowers on and Taadaa...A summer wreath! 

7. I of course had to add an owl... this was some fabric I had I cut our two of them used stuffing and sewed it on a strip and tied it on the wreath.

 Hope you enjoyed this! Switching the fabric pattens can change the wreath for any occasion.
