Jolene's Recipe Journal

The farms are bursting with zucchini and summer squash right now.   Usually I'm in with both feet, making zucchini breads and muffins, some to eat, some to freeze, but the heat and humidity have reached ridiculous numbers again at the moment.    I found myself with 2 nice zucchini, an ingredient challenge and a pin for these waffles sent to me by my friend Sue.

While looking at recipes for the cherry challenge, I ran across this Cashew Crusted French Toast with Cherry compote.  Both of my guys are allergic to tree nuts, so I knew this would have to be a meal for a night when I was on my own.   Tonight was that night.

We love fresh cherries.   The guys will eat them by the handfuls, after I pit them, of course.   But both claim not to like cooked cherries in anything.    Nasty hot here today, so I went looking for a recipe that was easy to put together, and looked worth running the oven for.    These blondies from Sassy Southern Mommy had great potential.
