Welcome to my weekly series called Conveniently At Home. The idea of this series is to slowly transition myself from buying pre-made and/or processed foods and eventually make most of my foods "from scratch." This will be a slow journey but one worth the wait!
I was inspired by Amy's Finer Things Zucchini Recipe Round-up for this week. Since I couldn't decide which one to do, I did 3 of them! I had plans for a few more but I was so exhausted after all the cooking that I had to crash. So sorry I didn't get this up last night!
The ones I tried were: Zucchini, Carrot and Black Bean Quesadillas, Zucchini Applesauce Bread and Cheesy Zucchini Crisps.
Here are our pictures of them:

Yummy Zucchini Applesauce Bread!

MY NOTES:
Quesadillas - I love veggies so I kept the recipe the same for me and Nathan. But I added chicken cubes to Rich's. We also dipped ours in salsa! Yum!
Bread - I made two loaves. One with raisins and one without. I should have cooked the one with raisins a touch longer. When I went to flip it out of the loaf pan, it was still a little gooey in the middle. I kind of pieced it back together and cooked it for another 10 minutes or so. :) It's all still good!
Cheesy Crisps - I am pretty sure I was supposed to cut these even smaller. But they made for a nice appetizer last night. And I love the breading. I think I may try it on some homemade chicken nuggets!
I still want to try the Zucchini Chocolate Pudding Muffins and Stuffed Zucchini. I plan on freezing the muffins. I also froze some of the bread for quick little snacks down the road.
Well, those were my homemade recipes that I tried for this week. Here's hoping that you've found something new to make from scratch and found that it was Conveniently At Home! If you made a recipe this week, or have one to share, please leave us a linky! And feel free to email me (or leave to a link to) any of your homemade recipes for me to try out. I'll add them to my list for future weeks.
That looks so yummy Jaycie!
