"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Summer squash bananza

This summer we are getting a lot of summer squash and besides making more pickled summer squash and Gluten free Sundried tomato summer squash, blueberry/summer squash bread I also made this yesterday and boy do the girls love this bread recipe...for the obvious reasons..I add walnuts to the recipe:

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD RECIPE
(12)           1 1/2 cups (360 ml) shredded raw zucchini (courgette) (about 1/2 pound or 225 grams)
(8)            1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour
(4)            1/2 cup (45 grams) unsweetened natural cocoa powder, sifted
(6)             3/4 teaspoon baking soda
(2)            1/4 teaspoon baking powder
(2)            1/4 teaspoon salt
(2)            1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
(6)            3/4 cup (180 ml) semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
(16)           2 large eggs
(4)            1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable, safflower, corn, or canola oil
(4)            1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar
(4)            1/2 cup (105 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
(8)            1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Grease (or spray with a nonstick vegetable spray) a 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pan. 45 minutes

I altered a few ingredients summer squash in stead of zucchini, used no GMO whole wheat flour, fresh eggs and added walnuts...YUM YUM!!! Made 10 loaves but will probably make more.
