Adapted from Simply in Season’s Zucchini Cookie recipe.
I love these cookies because they’re kinda of like a muffin and, on a particularly trying day, they can be called a vegetable. When I discovered zucchini bread I thought that it was the apex of what could be done with this watery vegetable by way of dessert. I was wrong, so very wrong.
On the downside, these cookies should not be eaten in dough form. The stringy, watery-ness of the zucchini does not become magical and delicious until after baking. Ryan went so far as to doubt how good these cookies would be when he took a little dough from the bowl the first time I made them. Had I been craftier at the time, I would have let him continue to believe that these cookies were unappetizing instead of persuading him to try the cooked version. Now he loves them too and I’m stuck with the paradox of being a more virtuous person with less cookies. Sigh. [click to continue…]
Adapted from Simple in Season’s Liberian Pumpkin recipe.
A brief note on the name of this dish. Quickly reading through the recipe, I read it as “Libertarian” (politics must have been on my mind), but Ryan later pointed on that in was, in fact, “Liberian.” Slight difference. However because this dish is slightly renegade (hot sauce and squash!), I’m going to stick with libertarian. This dish wants small government, dammit! [click to continue…]
