Pasta with Garden Veggies


I had a couple zucchini and tomatoes on hand, and when my mom brought home some yellow squash from a co-worker, I decided to make a simple but yummy pasta dish. I sauteed a zucchini and a yellow squash in a tiny bit of olive oil. I served brown rice pasta with the veggies plus some grape tomatoes and fresh basil, sprinkled (heavily, I'm obsessed) with nutritional yeast. So simple and so yummy!

Zucchini Bread



I picked up a couple of beautiful zucchini on my way home from the beach. I love zucchini in a variety of forms, but my favorite, hands down, is zucchini bread. When I saw the bins overflowing with zucchini, I knew what was on my to-do list for the week: make zucchini bread!

This recipe makes two loaves, so I either give away a loaf, or freeze half the batter. In light of being frugal while I'm unemployed this summer, I opted to freeze half the batter as muffins and save them for a later date when I might be broke. This recipe from Hell Yeah It's Vegan! is one I've used many times over, and the results are always perfect!
