Easy and flavorful cornbread with zucchini and red bell peppers.

Zucchini and  Pepper Cornbread

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Another month  has gone by and it’s time  for the #BreadBakers group again! This month was my turn to suggest a theme so I chose peppers, since those really come into season this month and everyone might be looking for new ideas to use them. I had thought I might do some dinner rolls with Hatch chiles but one day I decided to make old-fashioned ham and beans with cornbread and wanted a way to jazz up the cornbread, this being the result. I really love the flavor it brings to it. This will likely be made most times I want cornbread now! I do hope you enjoy.

Forgive me if I am short this month with my write-up- I have had medication side effect issues the past few days (old neck injury) and am really out of it.  I had been on the name brand of this particular one a few years ago no problem, but it was pretty expensive so had tried to get by without it. Now that it had a generic version I thought I might try it again, but apparently either it- or me- has changed since then and are no longer compatible. Too bad, but it’s not worth feeling like a drunk about to pass out just to get some benefit for pain. I do have a life to live after all.

But enough of my woes- I hope everyone is still having a great summer. I can’t believe it is August already! Soon the leaves will be falling from the trees.  I actually look forward to Autumn- from the cool crisp air to street festivals to cooking Autumn food. It’s winter with the grey skies that get me down. Bill already said the sauerkraut bug hit him (I told him he’s a week early, as it usually happens mid-August with the first cool evening). I look forward to making pots of sauerkraut. It’s more his family tradition but one I have learned to make well.

And I hope to get lots of peppers the next few weeks. Hatch chiles are coming in so watch your markets. I am also excited that my Ahi Amarillo chiles are abundant so sauce is in order, and the Thai chiles are heavy on the plants so lots of Thai curry is in my  future! What do you like to make with your peppers? Any hot sauces? I have lots of fun making those as well.

I hope you enjoy the collection of pepper bread recipes- they all sound fantastic to me. I  can’t wait to read them. I hope you find a favorite or three as well. Until next time-
