Zucchini Brownies I

Menu Plan Monday
Our garden is overflowing with wonderful veggies, so as always I am making some new and old favorite recipes. I am going to be really busy in the kitchen this week. I prefer to eat my veggies fresh, but if I must, I do resort to freezing; tomatoes and shredded zucchini are two that freeze […]
Gator Park
As I like to call it, or Brazos Bend State Park. A really fun place to visit on a cool Tuesday morning. Mom and I have been to this park several times, never to see an Alligator except at the visitor’s center, but none in the wild. So my goal was to see at least […]
