The new copy of Country Living Magazine, pure indulgence, also arrived ... what a great start to the day.
So, I've taken the Pledge over at http://myzerowaste.com/ some wonderful prizes up for grabs but more importantly a chance to stop and take a look at your reduce, reuse, recycle habits.
My pledges -
- I will talk to at least one family member or friend to promote recycling
- I will take active steps to stop junk mail being delivered to my home
- I will offer one unwanted item on Freecycle or take to a charity shop
- I will send an email greeting card instead of a paper one
- I will buy rechargeable batteries and a recharger and use them
- I will use a reusable bottle for water
- I will plan a weekly menu and shop accordingly
- I will make one meal from leftovers
- I will make something like bread instead of buying in plastic wrap
So what will you pledge ?
Happy Harvest from the garden ... recipes for courgettes very welcome please.
and those words ( or very similar ! ) " Hi, Honey I'm Home " yesterday when my Mexican visitor walked through the door, made me smile and smile ( after I'd moaned about how awful my week had been ) x

Lovely harvest, all those courgettes ;-) carrot & courgette cake? cauliflower, onion and courgette cheesy bake? yummy
What a lovely parcel of goodies!! Nothing like a brand new magazine to make me smile.
Courgette recipes - Rattatouille and lots of it, stuffed courgettes or just steamed and served with cheese sauce!
A recipe for little courgette omelettes:
coarsely grate 6 small courgettes onto tea towela and wrap to remove excess moisture. Put in mixing bowl with 3/4 beaten eggs, a finely chopped clove of garlic, 50g grated parmesan, 1tsp sale, black pepper. Mix. Sift flour into bowl(the recipe says 3tbs - I added more)and mix well. It should be a slightly thick dropping consistency. Heat up large heavy bottomed pan and drop in spoonfuls - quickly cook on either side.
This is how we ate our first courgettes - delicious! We're having it again for lunch too.
Love your pledges too - must take a look at My Zero Waste again. x
chocolate courgette cake - need I say more?
Think carrot cake, only ten times better ;)
What a lovely surprise parcel, and myzerowaste is a fabulous website. It inspired me to buy a yoghurt maker!
I can vouch for chocolate courgette cake...yummy!!! By far the best way to use courgettes!!!
