Life: Modified

Summer is in full swing and that always means zucchini! Back in August I received two HUGE zucchinis from my neighbor and I've been wanting to try using coconut sugar in my baking recipes so I decided to use it for zucchini bread. I wouldn't mind eating zucchini bread just plain but I wanted the kids (and my husband) to eat some too so I went for chocolate ;) The coco powder is sugar free so it really isn't causing too much harm, haha.

Last night I ate quinoa for the first time. I tried a little bite straight from the pan and was disgusted. It tasted like brown rice mixed with the toppings they put on the top of fancy wheat bread. But I'm on a quest to try new foods and stick to my meal plan so I added it to the rest of my dinner and hoped for the best and got THE BEST dinner out of it! Check out the recipe for Chicken Stuffed Peppers below.

Food dye... where to start?? Its in everything- cereal, pop, crackers, chips, candy, cookies, sprinkles, ice cream, cheese, juice. But what's wrong with food dye, its just a color, right? Wrong! So wrong.
