If I could marry a food today

Phin is having eating issues. The issue being he won't do it. It's been stressing me out seeing him run around all ribsy like. I keep reminding him that the ladies like some chunk. The ladies being me, his vovo and that pediatrician of his. I was sure that last one would convince him to down some hearty mac and cheese because he's got it bad for her. Must be all that devilish red hair she's sporting.

Either way, zucchini bread is the brand new love of my life. I've given it to him post meal ( meal = eating three bites and throwing everything else on the floor screaming for Liza) and so far he's been a champion zucchini downer.

I used this recipe with some adjustments. I'll fill you in but I'm not promising success. My wierd-a changes never seem to replicate well and my memory sucks so I might be telling you wrong in the first place.

I only used half the sugar plus a tablespoon or so.
I added a hearty squirt of honey.
I threw in a very large, very ripe banana.
Added half/three quarters of a baked sweet potato.
Zucchini was more like 2 1/2 cups.
Half white, half whole wheat flour.
Shorted the oil a little bit.
I may have added some extra vanilla. I had one those turn the mixer on way too fast so vanilla went everywhere mishaps and threw a bunch more in.

I also needed to bake it quite a bit longer than the recipe called for, but that might have to do with our elevation, 4500 feet.

It's so freaken good. I ate it for breakfast. Here's proof. Don't judge, these pics are I barely woke up and peed pics.

    Who is Liza? I'm guessing Vovo is a grandmother?
