Happy Friday!
About a month ago, I finished planting our garden. Truth be told, I think this is the earliest I have managed to get everything in the ground in many years!
Yesterday I noticed some teeny tiny zucchini! It will still be several weeks before they’re ready to harvest, but they made me think of a recipe I found a few years ago, on one of my favorite blogs, Lil’Luna.
I love making this bread year-round. It’s delicious with tea, or as a dessert bread, and it makes a really nice housewarming treat. I must confess, in the winter, I sometimes have it for breakfast! Yum!
