Banana muffins recipes are a dime-a-dozen & over the years I’ve tried quite a few. My biggest frustration: You can hardly taste the bananas!

Oh, the joys of summer produce! Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash & basil…loads of basil! Here’s a wonderfully easy (and SO delish) recipe for summer squash.

I just completed a backpacking trip in the Sawtooths where we covered 7 miles on Day 1 & 13 miles on Day 2. This was an amazing trip full of spectacular wilderness scenery & high mountain lakes.
