Jolene's Recipe Journal

Soft pumpkin zucchini chocolate chip muffins made with garden-fresh zucchini and warm spices, perfect for breakfast or snacks.

   August 24th is National Waffle Day! We've got quite a few family favorite recipes but I wanted to give something new a try and I found this recipe on the Blendtec website. Both the batter and the berry infused buttercream are made in the blend, which makes it super easy.  

  One of the things my husband was most excited about when we bought our new home back in 2016 was having the space to plant blackberry bushes.  We moved here in the fall and he spend all winter researching the best variety, type of soil and bed set up. 

I'm wrapping up #FarmersMarketWeek with one of my favorite veggies, green beans.  It's also one of the few veggies my guys will eat without complaint, so we eat a lot of them.  I found Marian P's recipe on the Taste of Home site and it looked absolutely so colorful and delicious.

Farmers Market Week continues with a super simple but super delicious Balsamic Cucumber Salad. I found Blair L's recipe on Tasteofhome.com and it was perfect to use up some beautiful cucumbers I picked up at the market. 

Of all the events I participate in, Farmer's Market is definitely one of my favorites.  It's just so easy to be inspired by all of the awesome things you can find there! I came home with a big bag full of goodies including some zucchini.
