I’ve Moved! February 2, 2012

Hello out there!  I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve been working on blogger for a while now and have decided to move on over that way!  This has been a few years in the making but I’ve been offline working on cleaning up our diet, living lightly, simplifying, and finding ways to save money and imagine this…all that also helps live environmentally friendly!!!  If you would like to head on over I will be posting more frequently now!  Lots of good info I am really wanting to share about our journey!  Look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Changes

As of lately, I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what kind of a blog I am wanting to have. I love sharing with you guys! Because of that, I think I’m going to start sharing more about the fun giveaways I’ve discovered and if I’m fortunate enough to sponsor a giveaway to share with you lovelies! How fun would that be! I love participating in several carnivals and will continue doing that, just wanted you all to know what was on my mind.

I would love to share reviews of products and begin incorporating a giveaway blog! Hear that energy efficient/family oriented/environmentally conscious/yummy tasting suppliers/crafters out there?!!! I want to review your products. If I don’t have anything nice to say, I’m not going to say anything at all! If it is a lovely product, I want to be able to share it with my amazing followers!

I know the joy of entering in other people’s giveaways and how great you feel when you receive one of those gifts!!! I want to share that with you guys as well.

Thanks for listening! I just wanted to get that off my chest! 🙂

Homemade Pineapple Zucchini Bread September 27, 2009

Our sweet neighbor is a gardening extraordinaire! She had zucchini pouring out of her ears and was sweet enough to share some with us! Thanks Donna! After reading through some blogs, I was fortunate enough to stuble across a recipe posted by Jen at 11th Heaven’s Homemaking Haven for zucchini bread. It looked absolutely delish so we decided to give it a try it! We had to drop a few ingredients due to not having them on hand, but this is a yummy way to use up some extra zucchini!

Pineapple Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:
2 C. all-purpose flour
1 C. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 C. sugar
3 eggs (farm fresh is best! Thanks Jen!) (vegan alt: 3 T. ground flaxseed + 9 T. water)
1 t. vanilla extract
1 C. oil (we used coconut oil)
2 C. grated zucchini
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

Directions:
In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients (flour, soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt) Add to the flour mix the following wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, oil and zucchini). Once mixed well, stir in the raisins and pineapple until just blended.

Pour into 2-9x5x3 inch loaf pans.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F for one hour, or until browned.

***Oh, and most importantly. If you are grating fresh zucchini, don’t, and I do mean DON’T, under any circumstances, let any fall on the floor where you are working or the following scavengers might be found lurking nearby!*** 😉 Of course, I’m a sucker for cute little beady eyes…so I had to share! They love the fresh fruits and veggies, too! 🙂

🙂
