Pizza Bread!


I made Pizza Bread today, and I must say it was delicious. Deep sun-dried tomato flavor, full of herbs with salty parmesan and Asiago cheeses...tender, moist dough...very yummy indeed. To read the recipe, visit my baking blog Mediocre Chocolate.
I also wanted to report on the first harvest of my new zucchini plant, Gadzukes. It's only April and I've already begun to yield beautiful, healthy organic zukes from this guy--and they are so cute! When you slice them, they are shaped like little starbursts. My theory was--despite the fact that I love interesting and unusual veggies--that I could tell my kids they were alien zucchini, and they would at least try them. (The 4 year old did.) I roasted some up tonight with a little salt, pepper and olive oil--I skipped salting them because of the way they were sliced--and tossed it into some leftover pasta with a bit of parmesan. The boys all had chicken quesadillas, so I needed a fast and fresh solution for myself. Normally I prefer a whole-wheat noodle, but I gave in and ate the bowties, being too hungry to wait for water to boil. It's very yummy squash, very sweet, and I'm pleased it's taking up 4 feet of my garden!
