2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 Preheat oven to 350.
2 Stir together ingredients until smooth. Spread into 8 x 8″ baking dish. (DO NOT GREASE PAN!)
3 Bake for 25 minutes.

It’s the summertime onslaught of zucchini already and I am fighting the good fight! I’ve made Italian Zucchini Boats and Taco Zucchini Boats so this year I decided to try Pizza Zucchini Boats and they were a hit!
1 – 2 (14 oz each) jars pizza sauce
5 – 6 zucchini, depending on size
1 package small pepperoni slices
1 package precooked bacon crumbles
1 – 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 Preheat oven to 400.
2 Spread about 1 cup of pizza sauce in bottom of 9 x 13″ pan.
3 Cut ends off zucchini, then cut in half then slice the halves lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, make a trough down the middle of each zucchini piece. Place zucchini pieces in pan, skin side down, trough side up. Place a small spoonful of pizza sauce into each zucchini piece.
4 Sprinkle bacon into each zucchini trough followed by several pieces of pepperoni and then sprinkle with Mozzarella.
5 6 Bake 30 – 40 minutes or until a fork pierces the zucchini easily.
Got a new ice cream maker for free with my Kohls cash. Do you shop there? I love Kohls, mostly because they have a petite department and I can find short pants for my short legs. I have lost a little weight lately so bought some new clothes in a smaller size and ended up with $90 in Kohls cash so I splurged and bought a Cuisinart Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt/Sorber maker. And of course ice cream was first up.
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
pinch salt
2 cups heavy whipping cream (Costco has the best heavy whipping cream)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 Whisk or beat together milk, sugar, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 – 2 hours or overnight.
2 From this point, follow your ice cream makers instructions to make ice cream.

Zucchini Season is upon us once again! And the fight against the never ending supply of zucchini is in full swing around here. The zucchini started coming and before I knew it there were like 12 zucchinis sitting in my kitchen already. Now I have to use zucchini and sourdough discard on a weekly basis. Challenge accepted! This bread was good, I really liked the brown sugar flavor of it but it wasn’t as good as my fav, Blue Ribbon Zucchini Bread. Still a good way to use up both zucchini and sourdough discard.
DRY INGREDIENTS
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I left the nuts out this time)
WET INGREDIENTS
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sourdough discard
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup oil
1 3/4 cups shredded zucchini
1 Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9 x 5″ loaf pan with cooking spray for baking.
2 In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
3 In a separate medium size bowl, whisk together wet ingredients except for the zucchini.
4 Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Gently stir in zucchini.
5 Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55 – 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6 Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes before turning out of pan.

I got a new waffle maker on Amazon Prime Day to add to my collection, it’s called the Stuffler and, as you might have guessed, it makes stuffed waffles. It was originally $80, on sale for $50 then on a Prime Day Deal for $30 so I had to buy it, right? Here’s the Amazon link if you want to check it out.
Here’s what it looks like when it comes out of the Stuffler
and here’s what it looks like when you break it open.
Glorious, no?
So yummy and so fun. I think you should play with your food. If I could go back and start my blog all over again, I would call it that, “Play With Your Food”.
