Busy Weekend!

We went to the State Fair last night.  We enjoyed looking at all the livestock. 




I was also able to get a lot of canning done.  I bottled peaches and salsa!  

I planted a zucchini plant this summer and I have oodles of zucchini. I have been making everything I possibly can with zucchini.  These cookies are one of the best! They are so yummy!

Here is the recipe: 

INGREDIENTS 
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups finely shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the zucchini, nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.


Thanks for the recipe Miriam!

Tucker

This is our dog, Tucker. He is a year old golden retriever.  He has a lot of energy and keeps us very busy.  I know most these pictures are of him sleeping but that is when he looks the cutest! 



We are the Reeders.  We thought we would start a blog to share all our fun adventures with you.
