For Father's Day, my granddaughter was excited to make her dad and grandpa a cake! She chose a Dolly Parton Style Coconut Cake Mix that I had in my cupboard and whipped that up as a 2 layer round cake. I had seen a cake online that was decorated to look like a campfire. Since her dad and my husband both love camping, I suggested that might me a great way to decorate the cake. She was all in! If you decide to make this cake, of course you can do it in any flavor you like.

Okay, first I have to tell you that I forgot to take some really good pics of these cupcakes before taking them to the baby shower that we threw for my extra daughter Charly. These were the practice ones. Do you see the liners in the back that are blue with polka dots? Those are the ones I used. Charly and her husband are not finding out the gender of their baby until she gives birth, so we wanted a very neutral theme for her shower. Charly loved the Rubber Duck idea, so I looked on Pinterest of course and found this idea from Sweets & Treats. I hadn't heard of their company before this, but I fell in love with theirs large variety of sprinkle mixes and their cupcake liners keep such bright color after baking in them! I definitely recommend checking them out. They have some great items on their sale page as well! You know I love sprinkles and I can definitely use some new ones when Hot Cocoa Bomb Season begins! To decorate the cupcakes, I simply used a large circle piping tip to dot on frosting to look like bubbles. I enhanced the bubble look with large and small round candy sprinkles. Finally, I popped these rubber duckies on top! They were the perfect size for the top of the cupcakes. These rubber ducky cupcakes were definitely a hit and a centerpiece at the party. I love when treats are easy to make and pack a big punch!

I was out watering my garden and I saw the blossoms of my zucchini coming on the plants and baby yellow squash already growing! It is so exciting! If you are a gardener, you already know that the excitement can quickly change to being overwhelmed with an over abundance of squash!
That feeling of being overwhelmed is probably why it was decided to have a National Zucchini Bread Day on April 23rd. Warmer climates will be harvesting by then, and it is a good time to start gathering recipes to use for not only bread, but for a variety of other foods that begin with the letter Z for zucchini!
We have a number of zucchini recipes on our site, so I thought I would give you a head start in the gathering of zucchini recipes for when your harvest is overly abundant, or for when your gardening neighbor secretly leaves you a bag of zucchini on your doorstep out of desperation.
Zucchini Orange Bundt Cake Zucchini has such a mild flavor that the citrus goes very well with it! This cake is moist and beautiful with the flecks of green from the zucchini and the orange zest. Use a bundt cake pan, like this one.
The Best Ever Chocolate Zucchini Cake Alicia describes this cake as fluffy, moist, soft, chocolatey and delicious.
Molten Chocolate Zucchini Cake that is Gluten Free, but you can't even tell that you are not eating gluten or a vegetable for that matter! It is that good!
Okay, I did dessert first. But, here are some main courses.
Shrimp Pesto with Zoodles Anything shrimp is fine by me! Lindsey make this dish as a romantic dinner for two. If you substitute zoodles for noodles, you can use up a lot of zucchini! A nice little spiralizer is all you need!
Chicken Cacciatore with Zoodles is also a great way to go!
Finally, for those of us who love to can, don't forget to makeZucchini Relish! My family loves it!

Just the words Molten Lava Cake make me want one, even if I'm not hungry. The idea of that creamy warm chocolate, flowing out of a moist chocolate cake sets my makes my mouth start to water.
Unfortunately, I rarely allow myself to eat one because I know that they are not the healthiest things in the world for me. Then, I heard about a Molten Zucchini Cake and realized that if I made a Molten Lava Cake in a healthier way, I could enjoy the chocolatey goodness way more often! Plus, there is a bonus! This cake is a great way to use up the zucchini from your garden! Here are more great reasons why it is okay to eat this cake:
Here are a few tricks to making this cake successfully the first time. (It is pretty easy anyway!)
