More zucchini

I planted more zucchini than we could use again.  In addition to some of the same hits from last summer, here's what I tried making this summer 

Chocolate zucchini loaf cake

I wasn't a huge fan and neither were the kids. Folks at work liked it though!

Zucchini cake with ginger and hazelnut

I really liked this cake/quick bread. The first time I made it, I vegaized it by using a combination of ground flax and chia seeds and a frozen banana.  I also didn't have hazelnuts so used walnuts instead.  The second time i made it i followed the recipe more closely. I think I liked the first version better.  Perhaps I will chop the hazelnut smaller next time.  

I made this cake too,but it wasn't what I wanted  (zucchini spice cake)

Peach abundance!

Our peach tree exploded with fruit this year.  I made as much as I could with the fruit, including canning and freezing it.  Here are some of what I made:

Peach cake https://www.elephantasticvegan.com/vegan-peach-crumb-cake/

I used some vegan butter that was a little rancid, so this probably could have been better ,but the vegans liked it. 

Royal Korean rice cake dish

I enjoyed it, but the kids were a bit iffy. It was a little sweet, so if I make it again, I'll reduce the sweetener.

I got posole from the bean shipment and I finally tried the traditional dish. I really liked it, not so much for the other family members.

This was really good to use up frozen zucchini from the summer. I used cream cheese frosting.

Christmas was good for this. I liked the flavor and it was enough to make a small house. Used icing from here https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/royal-icing/#tasty-recipes-66459-jump-target

Not necessarily baking, but the kids really like this.
