Who knew zucchini could get so dressed up?

I love adding in zucchini to baked goods and if you have ever had a garden or been friends with someone who has had a garden you know that getting creative with those squash veggies is important  because chances are there will be plenty.

In fact, I know people who lock their car doors when they show up at church during the summer months, not because they are afraid of having something stolen, but for fear that someone will sneak a grocery bag full of zucchini in their back seat.

Yes. It really can be that bad. One time we were gone for a week during the summer and came home to a zucchini so big we had to carve it like a turkey.

Even picky eaters will agree that eating their veggies has never been so great.

Here is what Averie of Averie Cooks has to say about this tantalizing recipe.

It’s an easy, no mixer recipe for banana bread that’s spiked with juicy blueberries in every bite. Your house will smell like a bakery as the bread bakes.

Lemon spread that is so good you might want to just eat it off your spoon.

The first time I heard about Lemon Curd I thought the person was kidding. I mean really? Who would name anything you put on toast something so yucky.

After I tasted it I didn’t care what they called it, I just needed more. Taking it a step further I decided to make my own so here is my recipe.

I couldn’t help but notice lemons in the road near where we lived. I thought a truck might have spilled some of it’s load. The next week I noticed a few more.

When I looked up, I realized there was a house at the top of a long driveway across the street and also at the top, was a lemon tree.

A few weeks later I saw a man , parked at the end of the driveway, getting his mail. I quickly ran over and introduced myself.

“Hi,” I began. “We are new to the neighborhood. I noticed you have a lot of “road-kill” lemons and I happen to cook.” Which was pretty obvious since I was wearing an apron. “I was wondering if I could pick a few lemons before they roll into the street.”

The man smiled.. “You can pick anytime.”

We quickly realized we were going to need to make one..or two more batches really soon. Thankfully the neighbors tree was full of the bright yellow citrus.

When we added a little cream cheese and spread it on a piece of fresh bread it was amazing.

One of the best things to do is find someone with a lemon tree. Introduce yourself, and remember to share.

This unique snack is sure to disappear as soon as you put it on the table!

Whether you are playing cards with friends, just hanging out with family, or planning your next movie night, there is something amazing that happens when you combine sweet and salty together. Ohh YES!

Sure there is always the standard pop-corn and goldfish crackers, but every once in a while it is nice to mix things up.

This quick and easy snack is full of all the favorites! And is easy enough for your teen to make next time they have friends coming over. Can I get happy face emoji for that one!

Being able to have a few things on hand in the pantry is a big deal for those on the go. You never know when your friends might want to get together to hang out or invite you over.

I love baking brownies, and cookies, but sometimes the last thing you want to do is have to bake something, and it takes some time.

This recipe is super fast and super amazing. The fact it has peanut butter in it? Well, let’s just say I am one happy camper.

This is what Lauren has to say about this yummy snack.

Layers of chocolate, mini pretzel twists and Reese’s pieces candy are topped with a yummy homemade peanut butter sauce. These Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars are the perfect sweet and salty treat.

Quick Tip: Going to a friends house for a few days? Why not take along the ingredients and make it there? I love that this can be cut into small squares. Perfect for playing cards, or crafting, when you need a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth.
