Paddle Faster, I Smell Zucchini

I finally cooked something! Actually, I knocked out three Moosewood recipes today! The first was these adorable "Zuccanoes" which are basically just stuffed zucchini. You're meant to use rice as the main stuffing, but of course, I used quinoa. Also my Mom is trying to use up all the of the random food we have in our pantry, so I put I serious dent in our quinoa stock with this recipe.

To go on top of the canoes, I made a carrot puree (other veggie purees seen here and here). This didn't quite thicken up as much as I thought it would, but it has a good combo of spice and sweet to go with zucchini. You add just a touch of orange juice as well as spices so the effect is a very very orange sauce.

The only downside is that you have to roast the carrots which weirdly takes FOREVER.

Dessert (as seen to the left) was another adventure into the fruit crisp world (I previously tackled apple) with a delectable peach cobbler! I used four peaches, which was absolutely plenty.
