Tonight I feel like being random. Are you ready?
First, check out the delicious corn and tomatoes that we've recently enjoyed from my Dad's garden:
Yummy!
Next, here's some 'mini' zucchini/blueberry bread that the girls and I baked from the zucchini
we planted in my dad's garden, back in May. The blueberries, of course, are from Miriam's blueberry farm.
Here's the recipe:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
2.25 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1.5 cups shredded zucchini
1.5 cups blueberries
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8.5" by 4.5" metal loaf pan (or your mini loaf pans!) In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In medium bowl, with fork, mix oil, eggs, zucchini, and blueberries. Stir zucchini mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened.
2. Pour batter into prepared pan. (I like to sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar on top!) Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes for the larger pan, about 40 minutes for mini pans. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
Enjoy!
Okay, onto the randomness...
Here's a fun custom order I recently worked on--two 'marathon' keychains. Fun, huh?!
Now, a little bit about the girlies...
A few days ago the girls were being a wee bit too quiet during their playtime. Wondering what they were up to I searched the rooms and found them in the living room, sitting in a 'nest' they created out of Avery's pillows, reading books.
But not just any old book...
They recently received a fabulous little book from Auntie Ellen for their birthdays, titled
There Is a Bird on Your Head, by Mo Willems. Thanks again, Ellen!!
The girls are obsessed with this little tale about two birds that build their nest on top of Gerald, the elephant's head...hence the nest they built themselves!
I just love books and how they spark the imagination of little ones. As I like to say, more books, less TV! And this is why. :)
Now, a little bit about the lil' bun in the oven!
I'm 20 weeks along...half way there! WAHOO! I can feel her kick all throughout the day and am loving it. Here's a fun little tid bit--she currently weighs about 10/5 oz and measures 10" head to foot. Can you believe it?
Here's a belly shot from a week ago:
Alright, I hope that was random enough for you...I'm off to bed now!
G'night!!
