I have been finding all sorts of good information there, but haven't gotten into the recipes yet. As a fan of English Muffins, I will give them a try. I am not crazy about most of the the store bought ones.<br /><br />I must be getting better for I feel a rant for the blog coming on! My grocery order comes Thursday and this time I refrained from ordering anything that needs to be canned, dried or frozen - just staples like flour, oatmeal, cornmeal, etc. Another day should bring me back to whatever passes for normal these days. :) Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-21301111215445802382019-08-13T11:05:05.645-05:002019-08-13T11:05:05.645-05:00Vicki, thought I would let you know...

The recipe made a dozen so if need be I am sure they could be put in the freezer and used when desired. They were so good that the guys didn't even toast them. They sliced them into two halves, put a little butter and some homemade apple jelly on them and ate them while still warm. Easy peasy...and better than I expected! <br /><br />Hope you are getting your strength back and feeling like yourself again...CWCWfromIowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172181916761650306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-83944409181178874782019-08-12T17:48:00.124-05:002019-08-12T17:48:00.124-05:00Rob...Guilty as charged.

Thing is, I just don't bounce back as quickly as I once did. But when I get really busy, I tend to forget about that part. :)<br /><br />Glad to hear your garden is producing well. I have been hearing of so many who are having problems due to the lousy spring. I have lots of corn dried. It rehydrates so very well and I like to grind it to add to cornmeal for cornbread. I still have a freezer full of chickens to can and I want to do another batch of baked beans - maybe next week. <br /><br />The thought of your chocolate zucchini cake made it almost necessary to find a drool bib! I am also fond of zucchini bread made with crushed pineapple. I may have to whine to my daughter to get a couple of zukes to bake with. I saw on the weather radar that Iowa was getting rain today. As usual, it seems to be missing us, although we had a little over the weekend. At least it is cooler and for that I am grateful.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-80359840911212402312019-08-12T09:36:08.011-05:002019-08-12T09:36:08.011-05:00Vicki, you deserve a stay-cation after your cannin...Vicki, you deserve a stay-cation after your canning marathon. Put your feet up, read a good book, take some naps, and just let the crazy world go by...<br /><br />Our sweet corn season has come to an end. We enjoyed it fresh off the cob, and I froze a sufficient supply for winter. I also dehydrated some toward the end when freezer space was at a premium. I'm now into green bean and zucchini season...canning, freezing, and dehydrating.<br /><br />Today I am thinking "chocolate zucchini cake" might be on the to-do list. We are getting the first very much needed rain in several weeks so no garden time. I love baking on rainy days...much cooler too.<br /><br />Take care, CWCWfromIowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172181916761650306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-45749367899724869542019-08-12T08:12:06.485-05:002019-08-12T08:12:06.485-05:00Fern...Sometimes I just forget that I passed the a...Fern...Sometimes I just forget that I passed the age of 30 several decades ago.
