Kitchen Duties

 I'm sorry. I've been neglecting  on my blog. It's that time of year when I seem to have more chores and less time to sewing.
This week I've been in the kitchen whipping up some goodies out of seasonal produce.

 Have too much zucchini? Don't cry, make bread. Then take it to everyone you know. No body turns down bread!
I made regular spicy zucchini bread and a new to me recipe, lemon zucchini bread.
Yummy! I just love Pinterest! They have so many recipes that are new and fun to try.

I had planted my garden hoping to have enough produce to make oodles of yummy foods. I failed with the oodles so I had to go to farmers market and buy the oodles.
I have only had enough tomatoes for a few salads but I keep getting more and more romas every day. They just aren't big enough to can.
I made several quarts of marinara to use at a future date.
I tried my hand at pesto and I have to say, this will be a staple in my freezer!

I have more kitchen duties to finish. I'm still working on those apples and I have more home improvements in mind. Fall seems to make me want to nest.

One, I need to finish the painting in the kitchen which means I need to move the frig. I'm not looking forward to that!

Two, I decided to repaint my kitchen floor, black and white. 

Three, I feel the burning need to paint all my interior  doors black (Thanks to Pinterst!). Which means I need to paint my hallway which means I need to un-texture the walls. And while I'm there I should remove the popcorn ceiling. Which I should also do in the kitchen...

Soooo, if I'm not around for awhile, this is what I'm doing.

Take care, Brandie
