Have a lot of zucchini? Make a few loaves of this delicious bread and store it in your freezer.
This past weekend I was the recipient of some zucchini. This year, like last year, it seems I don't need to bother planting my own garden - my family and friends have an abundant supply of vegetables from their own gardens and like to share. As the zucchini keeps coming I found myself wondering just what I was going to do with it all. After going through my cookbooks and surfing the internet, I decided take a peak into my grandma's recipe box. It's an older box, dusty, and filled to the brim with all sorts of recipes handwritten in my grandma's unique scribble. My grandma, who passed away last year, used to always say her handwriting was so bad, even she couldn't read it. The first recipe in her box just so happened to be a handwritten …

These cookies are the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Best of all? No need to turn the oven on when it's 90 degrees outside.
No bake recipes are perfect for summer. Not only are these recipes delicious and easy to make, but you can avoid adding extra heat to your already hot home by not having to use the oven.

To make this recipe you'll need: To start, add the butter, sugar, milk and cocoa together in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for one minute. Turn off heat and stir in the peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Using an ice cream scoop, drop the mixture onto wax or foil paper. Let cool until they set. Enjoy!
