🌿 Sunday on Great Island



Hey friends❣️

Happy Sunday!

We finished out the month on a festive note at our house. Our Sunday dinner last week had a fun Christmas in July theme ~ complete with carols on Spotify and Hallmark holiday movies playing in the background. I made ham and my green bean casserole. and everybody else brought a favorite side or dessert. It was sweltering outside, the air conditioning was cranking, and I think we may have started a new annual tradition.

Before we get to the recipes, thank you for opening my emails and being here each week. Independent food sites need loyal readers more than ever, and I appreciate you!


This week's recipe revisit is a classic zucchini cake. I updated the original 2013 recipe and I couldn't be happier with the results. It's a plush, moist snack cake with a deliciously easy browned butter frosting that I know I'm going to repurpose again and again.

Zucchini Snack Cake with Browned Butter Frosting

Zucchini, like carrots in the spring and pumpkin in the fall, is brilliant in baked cakes and breads.
