~ Our first ever real vegetable garden is starting to give us the fruits of our labor and zucchini is one of those little goodies. We picked the first two zucchini today and I wasn't sure what I wanted to make with it. With a little thought and creativity, you can turn it into a delectable side dish even your kids will love. I mean, really, who doesn't love cheese AND bacon? Enjoy! ~

Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of oil in each slot in muffin tin and place in oven until oil is hot.
Re-whip batter briskly again just before pouring into muffin tins, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake about 30 - 35 minutes or until puddings have puffed up and are golden brown and crispy.
~ Now, I married an Englishman, so I leave the making of these little gems to him. He does a lot of this by feel and not so much by measurement. That's the English way I guess. When I traveled to other side of the pond, this was one of my favorite things to eat with Sunday roast. I couldn't get enough. If you've never tried these, you have absolutely no idea what you're missing. You will never have bread or rolls with your dinner again after giving these a try! ~

~ I'm a sucker for a good banana bread, warm and buttered, right out of the oven. I never realized just how easy it was to bake from scratch til mom gave me the recipe many years ago and I tried it for myself. It's been a winner ever since! ~
