Creative Wednesday

I thought this bus stop was creative.  
I enjoy when people take ordinary things, and make it a creative marketing moment.

Zucchini bread

My brother-in-law has a fantastic garden. He gave me a zucchini from his garden, so I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to make zucchini bread. I have never made zucchini bread before and only tasted it once. I was excited to try this bread recipe. To my surprise, it was super easy to make and really tasty to eat!

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl.

Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well.

Stir in zucchini and nuts (I didn't use nuts) until well combined.

Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 1/4 cups white sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
4. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.

Perfect summer hair

On Saturday, I wore a head scarf. My inspiration, the fabulous style blogger...Keiko Lynn. Click here to learn how you can have an awesome head scarf too. I felt so chic wearing this head scarf. I can't wait to try it with all the vintage scarfs I have in my closet.

Sorry for the low quality images, it was my hubby's cell phone camera :)

A little more organized

I was fed up with the folder on my computer that held all my recipe links. Today, on this beautiful Saturday, I organized them into word documents. It looks and feels so much better.

I love these Rachael Ray spoons. They hook onto the side of your pot. Brilliant! I don't know if it was her line that thought of this first, but why didn't anyone think of this sooner.
