It is just after midnight, and a few minutes ago I wished my son, Luke, a very happy birthday! I can hardly believe that it has been 20 years ago that I first held that sweet little red- haired baby boy in my arms. We were so thrilled to have another son...that made the count four girls and three boys. The boys were catching up!! It is also my daughter-in-law Sara's birthday as well. Happy Birthday to you both!!!
Our little granddaughter broke her arm yesterday while hopping from swing to swing in the backyard! She is now the proud owner of a bright purple (thankfully water-proof) cast. There is never a dull moment around here!
Here is one of my all-time favorite zucchini recipes. My mom has fixed this dish for years and I have made it all of my years as chief cook around here!
Zucchini Bake
3 cups of zucchini sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 sweet Spanish onion, sliced
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a skillet and cook the onion and squash until tender. Place them in a 1 1/2 quart buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup coarse bread crumbs. I tear bread into little pieces as it is easier than getting out the food processor!
Mix together:
3 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 8-oz can of tomato sauce
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Pour this mixture over the contents of baking dish and then sprinkle with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until it is set and brown. This serves six. We use a 7 x 11 inch dish. This is a very flavorful dish you are sure to enjoy! Unfortunately, we did not get a picture of this one so you will have to take my word for the fact that it is a good looking dish!
We have had a couple of weeks of unseasonably hot weather, even for Indiana! I thought it would be a good time to get started on some projects for our fall craft open house. Here are some of the things I made:
A new notebook design and knitted child's cap
These are from a handbag pattern that I have been playing around with!
I love these little tissue holders! They are such fun to make!
Have a happy day!
