Just call me Suzy


Yes, I'm still in the nesting phase.  Just call me Suzy Homemaker.   (People who know me really well are laughing really hard right now).  I know this phase will eventually end and I will return to thinking housework bites, but for now I'm riding the wave. 

This morning I settled on a couple of zucchini bread recipes and started shredding like a demon.  First up was a chocolate zucchini bread.  Turned out really well and was so tasty.  


Now I'm sorry I didn't make 2 loaves.  I cut the recipe in half in case it was not good and didn't want to waste it but the recipe was a keeper.  Next time I'll make 2. 

Then it was regular zucchini bread.  Another success.


I think my baking curse may be disappearing.  These were cut in half and put in the freezer.  I had enough of that monster zucchini left to freeze 3 bags (2 cups each).   So there will be more of this bread in my future. 

The rest of the weekend I puttered around and knit a little.  I didn't pick up my hook but I need to finishing hooking the horse rug.   Every time I walk through the den I see the still untouched UFO pile


I need to get on this so I can update my etsy store.  Maybe next weekend I'll stay out of the kitchen and get binding. 

Have a great week

  6. Yes, those UFOs pile up too fast, but at least that means you are hooking.

  11. Kim those loaves are so perfect! I've given up baking because I have no self control when it comes to eating it! So glad you are enjoying the home ownership and nothing like fresh baking bread to make a house feel so homey!
    Enjoy!
