This summer, I had more zucchini than I knew what to do with. I don’t even grow zucchini. Don’t get me wrong – I am very appreciative of all the delicious garden veggies I inherit each July and August. It provides a great opportunity/excuse to find new recipes to try out.
For the next few weeks, I am cooking and baking alone. Claudia has decided to leave me and head out of town for a well-deserved vacation. As she left, she gave me simple, yet specific instructions for the blog – post her favourite recipes of mine that I make for her. Simple enough.
This first “on my own” recipe is a new addition to my baking repertoire. I’ve adapted this blueberry loaf recipe from Jen on her How to Simplify blog by adding lemon zest to the loaf batter and making my own white chocolate, lemon icing to go along with it. This recipe makes a dense, sweet loaf which is perfect for blueberry season. Onward!
