Zucchini Anyone?

I know some people have a lot of zucchini to spare right now. Unfortunately we aren't one of those people, however, we did buy some because it's pretty cheap at the Ranch Market right now. So, I thought I would share my favorite zucchini recipe with everyone.

Dilly Zucchini Casserole
1 C. Biscuit/Baking Mix (Such as Bisquick)
1/2 C. Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Tbs Dill Weed
1 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Pepper
4 Eggs
1/4 C. Oil
3 C. Chopped or Shredded Zucchini
1 Large Onion chopped finely

Mix everything together and pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until knife inserted comes out clean.

We like cold or hot. It freezes well too; I cut it into pieces and wrap each piece individually and freeze them together in one big Ziploc bag.
Let us know what you think of it!

A New Camera!

Well, it was a close race between these two cameras:

Kodak M340

Canon Rebel XS


We were very happy with the pictures both cameras took and especially surprised with the quality from the Kodak one considering it sells for around $130! (That's pretty cheap for a decent digital camera these days!) We love how small and light the Kodak one is but a digital SLR has been on my wish list for awhile now...so we went with the Canon Rebel XS. I am so excited to have it to take wonderful pictures of my kids, the neighbor's kids, any kids we may be related to or know, pretty much if you want pictures of your kids, bring them over!

So, good bye to our old trusty, much loved, Kodak Easyshare-One 6 MP Camera! You were a good camera and we took you everywhere we went and have around 7,000 pictures to prove it!

Ah Life...

So the newest thing in our life is we have realized that our very loved camera has stopped working! Life without a working digital camera....how will I survive!?! So wish us luck as we begin our new quest to find a good camera. It seems so overwhelming with so many choices: 10mp or 12mp, point and shoot or SLR, face detection, optical stabilization, 3x optical zoom or 10x optical zoom...then there is the big question $150 or $600 or somewhere in between!?! I'm sure we'll get a new digital camera soon because I don't think we know how to survive without one for long. So stay tuned and we'll let you know which one we picked out!
