Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Muffins with Cinnamon Honey Butter Are Amazing!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Muffins with Cinnamon Honey Butter Are Amazing!

The Half-Baked Harvest blog has so many delicious recipes! And I like her recipe titles – Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Muffins with Cinnamon Honey Butter…how many of those ingredients are on your “favories” list? You know when you just read the title that you have a yummy treat coming soon!

So simple to make! This recipe does have you squeeze the liquid from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. You basically mix the wet ingredients, add the zucchini, add the dry ingredients and then fold in the chocolate chips.

My sister had given me a Matcha bar, so I decided to cut it into chunks and use it instead of chocolate chips. A tasty experiment! Delicious!

While the muffins are baking, make sure you mix up the Cinnamon Honey Butter! It melts into the muffins if you eat them right out of the oven….which I think is the best way to eat muffins! But it is the perfect spread to use on these when they are at room temperature. Enjoy!!!!

Bake Delicious Peach Scones

Bake Delicious Peach Scones

It is peach season and there are so many amazing ways to eat them! From right off the tree- to fresh peach cobber, peach salsas or mixed into muffin, cake or scone batter.

Scones make a quick breakfast or snack treat! You whisk the dry ingredients together, cut in cold butter, add liquid and then the goodies you are adding for flavor. Shape into a thick circle and cut into triangles or gently press into a scone pan, like the one above. Bake, cool for a few minutes – then they are ready to eat or you can drizzle a glaze on top.

This Peach Scones with Honey Vanilla Glaze recipe from the Two Peas & Their Pod is scone perfection! Crisp on the outside, fluffy and buttery on the inside – YUM! And the glaze is the perfect finishing touch!

Just look at that scone – warm from the oven, glaze still dripping. Perfect morning treat with your coffee or tea.

See the chunks of fresh peaches and specks of cinnamon, you are going to love these! Enjoy!

My Maple Farm Country Market Quilt is Finished!

My Maple Farm Country Market Quilt is Finished!

Doesn’t it feel great to finish a project? Last year I bought a Tilda Maple Farm jelly roll because I loved the soft autumn colors and the vintage look of the fabric. Then I couldn’t decide what to use it for. Does that ever happen to you? When I saw the Country Market design in the Jelly Roll Jam Book I thought it would be the perfect pattern for this fabric collection.

After I pieced together the column sections, I went to our local quilt shop, Crossroads Quilting, and picked out the solid Tilda cream fabric for the outside border and a Moda checkered fabric for the column border and the binding. They also helped me select the floral Tilda backing.

Such nice soft colors in shades of blue, gray, yellow and red in vintage floral designs. Thrown over a bench at Wallace State Park, it looks ready for a picnic.

Kristi Ryan, Kristie’s Quilting, did a beautiful job with the free motion quilting. She takes a pieced quilt top and turns it into a work of art. Notice how she uses different quilting designs to highlight each section on the quilt.

Even though it was a summer sewing project, it will be perfect for fall decorating.

Always remember to put your name and date on your creations – no matter what media you use. I used my embroidery machine to create a label for the back of the quilt.
