I made my first thing from Pintrest

I admit I am one of those people who pins things on Pintrest but then never does anything with them. I think: "Wow what a great idea!" and it just sits on my boards. Well not any more! I found this cute idea for back to school. Before school starts we have a Back to School Bash where parents and students meet the teacher, tour the room, bring supplies, etc. This year I made these bags to put on the desk. The Champs Bucks are at school so I can't finalize them until I get those. 

Zucchini Bread

My mom has a big garden and gave me a zucchini from her garden. She was planning on giving me more but many of the plants are dying due to the lack of rain, which is very sad. I made 4 loaves of zucchini bread with the gigantic zucchini from her garden. I made 2 loaves of chocolate chip zucchini bread using Paula Deans recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paulas-home-cooking/chocolate-chip-zucchini-bread-recipe/index.html. I highly recommend this recipe! I also made 2 loaves of blueberry almond zucchini bread using another Paula Dean recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/zucchini-bread-recipe/index.html . The recipe doesn't call for blueberries or almonds but my mom said she added blueberries once and it was good so I tried that. I had almonds at the house so I used those instead of buying the nuts in the recipe. I recommend both of these recipes. I like to bake and have the time in the summer so it was really enjoyable to make these loaves. Plus my house smelled fantastic!
