My husband went back to work yesterday. It's time to get back to cooking and baking and getting my kitchen in order.
First I had to put away a stack of clean dishes, then it was time to start chopping.
My first batch of sweet pickle relish was canned. So thankful for the cucumbers and green pepper from the garden. It was too early to dig up carrots, but they are growing.
Baked a zucchini breakfast casserole with garden zucchini. It was fantastic. I used one from AllRecipes and used up some zucchini. So good!
Baked a Chocolate zucchini cake, because we could all use some comfort food right now. I thought about adding a glaze, but decided against it. The reviews said it would be a very moist cake, and the glaze would make it softer too. Boy is it good too. I swapped out half the oil for home canned applesauce.
Dinner? Meatballs with home canned hot pepper mustard sauce over quinoa and zucchini/corn off the cob saute.
As for the "order" in the kitchen? I officially dirtied all the dishes in the entire kitchen. Today is clean up day, because I just plain ran out of time (after I can today).

Brought in 4.6# of jalapenos. My job this morning - can most of them. My tomatoes are not even ready yet, so no fresh salsa sadly.
