Maternity Photo Shoot

So today I have only three weeks left until my due date. I really wanted to get some nice pictures of my baby belly but didn't want to pay anyone! So I tried my own photo shoot! Some of the photos are great and others are ok but just the same I am pleased with them and wanted to share them with all my friends and family! I can hardly wait to meet this little booger :)




























Cotton Crochet Rug

This rug has been a pain. I pulled it apart over and over again to get it as close to perfect as I could get it! It's finally done. Hopefully next time I make one it will work much faster!
Check it out on my Etsy shop!


What to do with zucchini


These past few days I've gotten an overload of fresh zucchini from our garden. I knew we'd get tons this year cuz we planted quite a bit. I think maybe two or three plants is more than plenty for just two people but we wanted to store some zucchini (and squash) for the winter!! At first I wasn't sure what to do with all this zucchini and squash! I've been looking on my favorite site though (aka pinterest) for recipes and ideas and here's what I came up with!!

Zucchini Pizzas

Making little zucchini pizzas is a great idea and I had that twice today!! It's so simple and easy to make and it's great cuz your not stuffing yourself with pizza crust, instead your filling up with fresh veggies from the garden! You just slice the zucchini put a little pizza sauce and cheese on top and bake it at 350 for around 20 min! It's been a great filler for me when I'm feeling hungry and need something "healthy" to eat!

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Another thing I tried today was double chocolate zucchini bread!! Oh it's so good!! It's very rich and chocolatey! Here's what it looks like all done!! Here the recipe link Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I had lots of fun making this bread!

Grilled Lemon Zucchini

Tonight I also tried grilled zucchini along with the chicken I grilled for supper!! It was sooo good! It has an amazing lemon flavor and just the perfect amount of the grilled flavor! It's definitely a new favorite! 
Here is the link on how to grill this zucchini Lemon Zucchini- grilled


The last think I did today with zucchini was shred 6 extra cups and froze it!! That way I'll have shredded zucchini all ready when I get the urge to make yummy double chocolate zucchini bread again!! 

Well that's what I've been trying so far! I hope you have a wonderful day and try some of these yummy recipes!
