Classic Zucchini Bread

June 14, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I have been growing zucchini and my gosh do I have a ton of it.  It’s quite over whelming.  It’s like they grow huge over night.  I didn’t know what to do with all of them, so I thought I would scope out my recipe page and you know what I noticed?  I have a lot of zucchini bread recipes, but not a traditional one.  I always try to change-up my recipes to make them unique and a little different, but I have to admit going the classic style is a great way to go.  So today I made for you a classic zucchini bread.

This bread is light, moist and perfect for breakfast. When I made it, one thing I didn’t think of was the zucchini. I have yellow summer squash zucchini. So when you see the pictures you will see yellow, not green. When I bought my zucchini plant, I grabbed the wrong one and ended up with yellow. Still just as good! You can’t taste the difference in this recipe, just a color difference. I took this bread to work and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and I think you will too!  I love listening to my co-workers int he kitchen asking who brought the bread in? Oh it’s Jen, good, then it must be healthy!  lol

I wanted to lightened up the recipe a little so instead of adding a cup of vegetable oil that most recipes contain, I used greek yogurt and butter flavored olive oil. I’m glad I did this because it went from 200 calories a slice to 166. Big difference and not one person had a clue that it had greek yogurt in it. Its was perfectly moist. Plus the geek yogurt adds a little bit of protein and no fat!

I also lightened it up by adding a cup of sugar instead of 1 1/2 cups. I think the bread was sweet enough but not overly crazy sweet. I figured if anyone wanted it sweeter they could add a drizzle of honey to a slice. That would be amazing!! For an added bonus of flavor I also added vanilla extract and a pinch of nutmeg. You can add cinnamon instead, but my friend at work is allergic to cinnamon, and I wanted to make sure he was able to have a slice. I didn’t miss the cinnamon in it. I couldn’t imagine be allergic to cinnamon, it’s one of my favorite spices. It adds a wonderful flavor to so many dishes, like apple pie. Poor Guy!

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
