Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Can you believe it? A bread that is that is made with zucchini and chocolate! Yes two things you never thought would go together but they sure complement each other. And if you thought we were all out of zucchini recipes than you were wrong. We still have a couple more up our sleeves. We enjoy regular zucchini bread but this chocolate zucchini bread is an extra special treat. It has the same moist texture that zucchini bread always has but also has the chocolate flavor we all love. This is a great recipe but you can also add chocolate chips or chunks for an extra chocolate kick.
Better than Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

The perfect pancakes and waffles made from scratch
While the best part of waking up is some coffee in your cup. You can make it the perfect breakfast with a pancake or waffle made from scratch. With this easy and inexpensive recipe, you will never turn to store bought pancake or waffle mix again. In fact, you most likely have all of the ingredients for this recipe on hand and could mix it up within less than 5 minutes.
Easy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
We’re still hanging onto summer here in Oregon, however, not for too much longer. While summer and the hot weather are both still here, we are nearing the end of summer according to the yearly calendar. That being said, we will continue to make homemade vanilla ice cream as long as we can. Making homemade ice cream is really as simple as mixing together the ingredients and finishing it in your ice cream maker. We really enjoy making vanilla ice cream because the toppings and mix-ins are so versatile. Whether you top your ice cream with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, sprinkles, or add it to a root beer float. But just a bowl of plain old vanilla ice cream is hard to pass up!
Homemade Brown Sugar
Is there really anything better than homemade brown sugar? It is amazing how easy it is to make your own brown sugar. Most people already have all the ingredients on hand to make their own brown sugar. Not only can you make the softest and freshest brown sugar but you can also control the ingredients used to make the brown sugar. You get to decide if you want to use organic sugar, pure cane sugar, coconut sugar or any other raw sugar. Unfortunately, we haven’t tested this method on sugar alternatives so we could not make a recommendation on whether or not these could be used. You also get to decide if you want to use sulphured molasses, black strap molasses, or unsulphured molasses.
Homemade Potato Salad
You can make homemade potato salad in no time by using your instant pot or pressure cooker. Previously, we would have boiled eggs and potatoes on the stove but using the instant pot makes quick work of cooking both eggs and potatoes to make this scrumptious side dish. In fact, the instant pot makes hard boiled eggs that are so easy to peel. We have wondered why we waited so long to purchase an instant pot just for this reason.
Homemade Banana Dog Biscuits
Homemade Banana Dog Biscuits
If you have ripe bananas to use up, you can easily make some homemade banana dog biscuits with just a couple other ingredients that you typically have on hand. This recipe typically uses 2 or 3 bananas. There are also variations to these biscuits such as adding peanut butter if you would like to make peanut butter and banana dog biscuits. These dog biscuits are very easy and honestly fool-proof to make.
Blueberry Cobbler
What will we do with all of these blueberries you may ask? For starters, we made our tried and true fruit cobbler using a couple cups of these blueberries. If you are skeptical about fruit cobbler and have typically chosen to make fruit crumble or crisp, you have to give this fruit cobbler recipe a try! This fruit cobbler has even proven to be delicious to those who have told us they have never liked a cobbler. This cobbler will use up 2-3 cups of fresh or frozen fruit of your choice. This cobbler is best slightly warmed up and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
