Vegetable Marinade

This recipe is perfect for summer cookouts but I’ve been known to bake and then broil them mid-winter.

Vegetable options are listed but you can add or mix according to you or your family’s taste.

The balsamic vinegar lends just the right amount of zip to make it a tasty side-dish to virtually any meal! [Read more…]

A-maizing Corn Bread

Corn Bread 1

I was tempted to inundate you with a ton of corny jokes. I restrained myself and limited it to the title.

This will be my last in a series of “corny” recipes (and they all sigh with relief). [Read more…]

Popcorn Balls

Something is wrong. I should be posting about chocolate. After all, it IS the month of love and chocolate.

But the reality is all I can think about is corn. [Read more…]

Buttermilk Cheese Biscuits

biscuit-and-steak-1

You had me at biscuit.  Seriously, I might even choose these bad boys over Tom Cruise.

This simple take on a baking powder biscuit is the perfect side for entree’s like fish, steak or soup. The garlic and cheese transform an already tasty, flaky biscuit into an over-the-top treat. [Read more…]

Zucchini Bars

Grated Zucchini 1

This bad boy has coconut instead of cocoa and an added touch of cinnamon (unlike the Zucchini Cake recipe I shared earlier in the month.)

These bars not only make the tummy feel warm but they capture that perfect “fall feeling” for the last of the garden zucchini.

If you click here for your printable pdf and start peeling that zucchini you’ll be eating warm, gooey bars in about 60 minutes. That deserves a “Bam!”

Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased jelly roll pan (approx. 12" by 18"-half a sheet pan).
  2. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees (or until inserted toothpick comes out clean).
Recipe Notes

These bars are delicious with a cream-cheese frosting but are just as tasty with a light sprinkle of powdered-sugar!

The DoAhead for this recipe is much like the zucchini cake. You can grate your zucchini and freeze it in advance. You can also bake the bars and freeze them.

Be sure to utilize the following thawing instructions so you don't end up with "mushy" bars!

1. remove the bars from storage, uncover and place on a cooling rack.

2. Lightly drape a tea towel over the top.

3. Once bars are fully thawed and there is no trace of condensation place them in airtight storage (a baggie or container.)
