    TIPS AND NOTES FOR GREEN CHILE ZUCCHINI BREAD

    This works best with fresh, roasted green chile, but feel free to use canned. This recipe also makes two loaf pans so you can cut it in half if needed.

    A good loaf pan goes a long way in making quick breads at home. I am partial to my Williams Sonoma Traditional Finish Loaf Pan. I've linked it here (not an affiliate link - I just love it). It cooks very evenly, and the bread releases easily. It doesn't break the bank either.

    CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

    Yes, it can. It freezes well and will last a couple of days after being made. You'll need to bake it to completion before storing.

    I love when people request that I bring Homemade Banana Pudding to things. Not only is it one of my favorites, but it’s easy to make enough for a crowd. It’s quick to make and everyone loves it!

    A completely underrated recipe on the blog is this Smoked Turkey Pepper Jack Quesadilla. It’s not a typical quesadilla and it has a surprising ingredient you might not expect 😁

    This pineapple pico de gallo is a staple for me in the summer because it’s a perfect combo of sweet and spicy. It goes really great with chicken and fish, but my favorite is eating it with lime tortilla chips 😍😍😍

    This Greek Pasta Salad takes traditional pasta salad we're all familiar with and swaps the regular pasta for tortellini and the dressing for a Greek-style favorite. It's easy to make, makes the perfect side dish (hello Greek Turkey Burgers!), and you can make it 3-4 days in advance. A total win/win.
