Recipe: Zucchini Sweet Relish

Recipe: Zucchini Sweet Relish

For some reason I struggle to grow zucchinis. Every summer I see the memes about gardeners giving away zucchinis because they have so many while I was lucky to get one before it rotted on the vine. My 91 year old grandmother continues to grow zucchinis every season because they’re “easy” LOL. I’m pretty sure the issue is my soil so I’ve been working at improving the nutrition and compost.

This year I finally found them a spot where they did well. I still didn’t have a meme worthy excess but I did get enough to make a batch of Zucchini Sweet Relish.

Book Review: Finding My Way by Malala Yousafzai

Book Review: Finding My Way by Malala Yousafzai

I am so happy I picked up this book. It’s a real and raw take on life and honestly way more vulnerable then I expected her to be publicly - but I’m glad she was comfortable enough to put those thoughts on the page. She speaks deeply about how every photo, word and outfit is heavily scrutinized. How a photo of her in jeans could set off death threats. There would have been risks even publishing this story, but she has worked tremendously hard for the right to live as unapologetically authentic as she can.
