Zucchini Bread with Coconut
My favorite recipe for zucchini bread with a hint of coconut. Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible after grating, otherwise, the bread will be too mushy.
Coronarita
This Coronarita recipe is a sassy margarita-type drink. You can make it by the pitcher, which is easily doubled or more! So great for a barbeque or just relaxing in the sun on a hot summer day!
