Blueberry Lemon Zucchini Cake

July 8, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 1 Comment

Hi Everyone,

A vegetable that is plentiful this time of year is zucchini.  There are so many ways to use it, grill it, saute it, fry it, sub it for noodles and add it into desserts.  Today I thought I would add it into dessert.  I have been pretty good on the whole sugar thing and I thought I would reward myself with a pretty low-calorie cake if you ask me.  I tried to make it as healthy as possible without losing it’s moisture and flavor.  Today I have for you my Blueberry Lemon Zucchini Cake.

Blueberry Lemon Zucchini Cake

This cake exceeded my expectations.  It’s light, moist and has so much flavor.  Plus I found it sweet enough with out be overly sweet.  It has fresh blueberries that just pop in your mouth and the lemon flavor is so perfect.  I am so happy with this recipe and I think you will be too.

I made a lot of healthy substitutions in the recipe.  I used applesauce instead of butter, coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, non-fat milk instead of sour cream and I cut the sugar in half.  This recipe would normally call for 2 cups of sugar, I used 1 and trust me that is all that is needed.

During the last moment, I decided to make a lemon glaze to go over the top.  It’s not necessary, but I thought it would add a nice sweetness, since the cake is not overly sweet.

The zucchini adds such nice moisture to the cake too.  Zucchini is not a favorite vegetable for my Husband, but in desserts he loves it.  I used about 2 small zucchini’s for this recipe.  When you bake the cake and take it out, you can see all of the green specks of zucchini.  Since I added the glaze, you don’t see it so much.

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?
