Summer Squash Chocolate Loaf

First- An big announcement!

I’m sharing my recipe for Pumpkin CinnaChip Blondies over at The 36th Avenue today. I will be posting there monthly as a food contributor! I’m so excited to be working with Desiree. She is such a dear blogging friend. Head on over there & check it out.

A bit ago one of the guys at the station brought the hubs one giant summer squash & one giant zucchini from his garden. I was so thrilled when the hubs brought them home. They sat on the counter for a while just because I knew that prepping them would be a chore. I wasn’t really worried about them going bad because they were given to us so fresh. I knew that the ones you pick up at the store aren’t even close to being that fresh. So there they sat. Finally I was tired of looking at them & needed to make something for the kids for breakfast the next day. So while the hubs was traveling- the boy & I decided to get them off the counter & prep them for baking. Peeling- cutting & grating consumed a good hour of two or our day. I like to portion out what I need for recipes into individual packages for the freezer. I made sure to leave out some of the summer squash because I had a particular recipe in mind.
