It's the time of year when the garden is bustling with zucchini. I made this delicious zucchini cake and it did not disappoint.

This is a recipe I started making as a teenager for my family. It originally came from a cookbook of my Mom's. I have slightly adapted the recipe over time.  The name buckle comes from the process of the cake batter rising but the berries and topping weighing it down or causing it to "buckle".

I am loving the flavours of the season. Trying to use herbs and arugula from my garden and the great Ontario fruit that explodes with flavour.

Ontario produce season is the best time of year. Hard to not fill your fridge with all the great selection.  I decided to combine blackberries and nectarines into a crisp using the topping recipe from my Mom's Apple Crisp. Always a family favourite.

This is an easy to make salad, perfect to take to a potluck. It's filling enough for dinner, hopefully some leftovers for lunch the next day. If you like it spicier a little hot sauce can be added.
