Happy Tuesday

I have so many zucchini and found a new to me recipe for double chocolate zucchini bread. I'm thinking yes please!! It's from the website called paleorunningmomma.com There are an incredible amount of recipes that are gluten free, vegan and nut free or dairy free. So check out that website. Without further ado I'm off to baking some grain free cinnamon streusel topped gluten free, dairy free and yummy looking muffins!! I'll post photos later, hopefully before they are all gone!! Blessings!

garden treasure

So, a volunteer zucchini plant came up in the garden, I was grateful its only one. So, Gordon picked a rather large one yesterday. Today after church I decided to make zucchini bread, I love the stuff!!! So here are few photos of what took place. In regards to the recipe, I swapped out some sugar for coconut sugar, maybe 2 cups of coconut and 2 cups of regular sugar, but I made one very large loaf, 2 smaller loaves and 6  muffins.

Come on over for a warm slice and some coffee!! Blessings! Flowers are from Farmers market!

Fun time

I went over to Erika's store in Siren called Jellybeana's and made note cards using alcohol ink technique, tricky technique. But it was fun, our granddaughter Olivia came up with our son and she was there doing the same thing but using tiles and turning them into coasters.

Tiles that Olivia did, beautiful!!

Note cards I did, unusual!

Chicken

Bought some coating at Menards on Friday night, so that meant I needed to buy some chicken and use my NuWave machine to cook the chicken.

So this machine makes food magical. I really like it, but forget to use it from time to time.

Chicken thighs with Cajun seasoning, YUM!!

twin granddaughters and fun!!!

So our twins came for 4 days and we had fun. They weren't too bored, I think! We saw the new "Displicable Me " movie, went to the Potters Shed to paint and eat, ate lunch at Alley Cats for lunch, watched another movie here, went shopping in Rice Lake, ate in Rice Lake, made tacos, and created a mess! So, we found on Pinterest how to make bowls out of buttons and Elmer's glue. Here

is the mess!

 The glue never dried clear and this mess ended up in the garbage. The End!!

So we have no clue what went wrong, but it did and there was no way I was going to try and clean up the buttons!! We had fun and laughed a lot!

Another cute business in Siren

While I was over at Erika's new store, we wandered to the next store over, it's called Barndance and Company. It's owned and operated by Sarah Kelby, a friend of Erika's. She has reclaimed barn wood items that are so cute. She has so many really nice things and reasonably priced! So, when you are over that way, make sure to stop in and say hi. Barndance is only open on Friday and Saturday. Please check her hours!

New business

Our daughter has opened a new business in Siren, Wisconsin! It's called Jellybeana's Crafts and Paint. It's a really fun place to go, where you go and do a craft there or learn watercolor painting. She will offer painting classes in the evening! You have to be 4 yrs.
