It was amazing to be out there spending time with my kids. It brought back a lot of memories when I used to spend time out there at their age and probably doing the same thing. Picking vegetables that I should and should not be picking! I think Simon sensed some great things too and that's why he decided to finally make an appearance. He couldn't miss any more summer or opportunities out at the farm!
Now that we're happy and at home with the family, it's back to some kitchen time. We have great little zucchini from the the farm for grilling and cooking with but luckily some bigger stuff from our CSA and the farmer's market too. I like using the great big zucchini for baking.
Since it's so good to be home with the family, I needed some bright summery bread to go with my bright summery attitude! I usually like a zucchini chocolate bread but I thought lemon was much more in order than chocolate ... sorry all you chocolate lovers but I promise this recipe will not disappoint! I love the smell of fresh bakery filling the house ... I love hearing the running of feet tear through the house ... I love watching my family grow.
Can I just say how good it is to be home?
