Family Favorite Zucchini Bread

I thought I would share our family favorite the one and only zucchini bread recipe. Gosh I hope Alyssa likes this as much as the rest of the family. I know Kevin likes it, he likes everything! During the summer we freeze zucchini for the winter bread making time. It's great to have it on hand when we have the craving. Take advantage of this recipe and take it because it's a really good one. I also wanted give you a little fyi, that we buy the little ceramic baking loaves ( pictured above ) from Michaels for 1.00 on sale they can be purchased for .50. They can go from oven to freezer and are as durable as can be. Great size for giving away during the holidays with a little wrapping and ribbon and your golden.

Continuing Wedding Plans

As Alyssa and I continue our plans for the fabulous fast approaching wedding, I do get side tracked with beauty here and there. I thought this was fun for a posting, the name says it all!
Churchill's Gardens, what a pretty website and oh wouldn't it be fun to visit? I love Alyssas soon to be surname, I think it is a strong name with distinction. Could it be we think of Winston?
Ok enough with the funny stuff, we (Ali and her mommy) are still working on invitations and whew... talk about alot of work. I didn't think it would be a big deal but wow it really is! I have been through so many large books filled to the brim with invites my head is spinning. Oh did I mention I am not done yet and the selection is not made yet. Wow, Calgon take me away! You younger people won't get that perhaps us older gals remember those days or commercials. lol...

Alyssa found a wedding dress!

No I won't post a picture of it, but I will say that it is an amazing dress! It is designed by AMSALE who is now the owner and creative director of CRISTOS. She has long been classified a designer for the classic romantic bride while adding a little of her modern sensibility to her collections.
If you feel so inclined then click on the link to see the new collections for 2011. You can guess which dress could possibly be Miss Alis'.
