Orange is the New Black Season 2 is up on Netflix and I can’t get enough of that show. If it wasn’t for work for me and bar studying for my DF, we would have finished the entire season in a day. Seriously, that show is brilliant.
Zucchini bread’s a weird thing. That’s a whole lot of greens going into baked goods, but it works. The moisture from the zucchini keeps the bread nice and soft.
The batter even looks a bit strange. It slightly resembles tempura batter that has broccoli flakes and carrot trimmings that got stuck to the dough and left behind.
Once you bake it, though, it turns into pure delightfulness.
It’s so eye appealing that kids might even eat their greens. It’s a shame that it didn’t work for my DF, though. I’m still working on that.
Let’s see what it looks like on the inside, shall we?
Side note, I feel overwhelmed with my to-do list recently. Pay a million bills, get a shirt and tie for my DF for the wedding, get a visa, apply for a marriage certificate, grocery lists, blog posts, empty all of our moving boxes… The list goes on and on.
At least I did one thing; The wedding invitations have been sent out! That’s a huge weight off of my shoulders.
