I bought more zucchini at the farmers' market, so I will be baking zucchini bread soon.

On Saturday, I made Maple Granola.

I also baked three loaves of my Oat Bran Whole Wheat Buttermilk Bread. Hot weather is predicted for the middle and end of the coming week, so I wanted to have two loaves for the freezer.

On Saturday, I made blackberry-black raspberry jam and canned three 8 oz. jars and one 4 oz. jar. When I de-seeded the blackberries I picked on Wednesday, I only had three cups of pulp, so I added a half cup of black raspberries that I had frozen, which gave me the 3 ½ cups I needed. Tomorrow, I will go back to our woods to pick more blackberries. Our terrace has some but not in abundance.

A sloppy Josephine is made with ground turkey instead of ground beef.

We had leftover Sloppy Josephines on leftover Len's buns with leftover coleslaw. Are you sensing a theme? 🙂

Chocomouse-- I saw somewhere this week that those chocolate cookies are no longer being produced.

I have not tried freezing shredded zucchini for baking, but I have frozen it to use in turkey loaf. I usually freeze about 2 cups instead of the 1 cup that recipe requires, then drain off the water after thawing.

For dinner on Thursday, I made roasted bone-in chicken breasts, following the same recipe as I used recently, and again seasoning with Penzey's Justice. I do not know what size the chicken breasts in the recipe at Serious Eats are, but 35 minutes is not long enough. The smaller of the three needed about 40 minutes. The large ones took 50 minutes. I also made a stir-fry with farro and carrots, celery, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, and kale from our garden. We also had microwaved green beans from our garden, so lots of vegetables! We will have plenty leftover, so I can focus my time in the kitchen the next few days on other projects.

I baked Big Lake Judy's Molasses Cookies on Thursday. I asked my husband what kind of cookie he wanted, and he requested these, even though I baked them just a couple of weeks ago. That recipe is definitely a winner in our house!

Len and Joan are making me hungry for pizza!

I made dough for my Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers today. I will bake them next week.

We had leftover sloppy Josephines on Len buns and coleslaw.

I picked another 1 3/4 quarts of blackberries in our woodland's open areas on Wednesday morning. There will be another batch of jam.

Sigh. Like Navlys, I know they are not good for me (saturated fat content), but I do miss them, and would not mind just one good hot dog one of these days, although if I had to choose between a splurge on a hot dog and a splurge on a brat, the brat would win.

Dinner on Tuesday was Buttermilk Coleslaw and Crispy Oven Baked Fish and Chips with Dill Tartar Sauce.

We have the starts of at least three honey nut squashes in the garden!
