Cooking Inspiration

Cooking inspiration has many sources- cooking shows, magazines, a trip to your farmer's market and sometimes right in your own kitchen! I had 2 zucchinis I bought at a local farmer's stand that were on their way out. I also had some bananas which were very ripe. What to do?

Make Banana Zucchini Bread, of course. I omitted the cranberries and nuts. I also added a dash of nutmeg, allspice and ground cloves and used 3 bananas and 1 cup of zucchini (that was all I could get from my 2 small zucchinis).
