Fun in the kitchen

I have had some fun in the kitchen lately. Next time someone asks me what my hobbies are, I am going to include "looking through recipe magazines and recipe books". I salivate over the pictures and think about how good the recipes will taste. :)

Every so often I get really bored with the typical fare the kids will eat - the cheese pizza, the spaghetti, the pancakes, etc., and break out my recipe binder. I have a few sheet protectors just stuffed full of pages out of food magazines that looked fun. After actually trying them, I have found some of my favorite recipes!

For Adam's birthday today, he let me make a "self-frosting zucchini cake" that I have wanted to make for a while. Wow! It was great, and almost better than making something tasty was that I used one of the fifteen frozen two-cup portion baggies of zucchini that I have had sitting in our basement freezer since August. Nice. I feel so domestic and provident having used our own garden produce. :)

Can you post a recipe? Sound really fun.

I'm so glad you asked! Do you want the recipe for "Self-frosting Zucchini Cake" or the "Tangy Pork Chop Stuffing Bake"? :) My word, I will just do both!

I agree with Val. I love it when people post recipes.
