Why can’t I reap myself a dang harvest now and again?

We always laugh, but in past years I’ve always felt a little overwhelmed with all of this squash because I just didn’t have enough quick and easy ideas for what to do with it all!I was determined this year to conquer this mountain of zucchini though and I think I’ve come up with some really great recipes so far!

This one was so simple to throw together but really kind of addictively delicious.I know addictively is not a word, but you know what I mean.Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:.

2-3 large-ish zucchini from the garden.About 1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano (or about 1/2 as much dried oregano!).

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.

2 Tbsp white vinegar.In my case, the publisher reached out to me to see if writing a book would be something that I would be interested in, and we started building the concept for the book from there..

When the editor at the publisher first emailed me, of course I was excited and felt pretty honored that she/they had read my blog and felt that my writing style and what I wrote about would be fitting for an actual real, live book.We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.

The first call was almost like an interview for me, which in retrospect makes sense, because they want to be sure I’m an actual person, with an actual passion for what I’m going to write about.They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.
