Baby Zuchini for my baker

So after a couple days of summer rain we finally checked the garden. Last time I looked I did t see a single zucchini. That was maybe a day ago or two. Suddenly we find this monstrosity which Ellie has decided is her baby. It’s nearly 5 pounds in weight. 

The silly girl named it and wrapped it in a blanket. She’s decided we can’t eat this one either. It’s her real baby!

Thankfully she wasn’t afraid to use another one to try baking zuchini banana bread the next morning. My girl has turned into quite the baker this summer. She has made banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, zuchini bread and Rice Krispie treats. It’s nice seeing her take this independent step and enjoy it. I’m also very proud of her because I told her she had to take responsibility to clean up after herself if she baked. She has been doing a great job of it.
