Zucchini chowder

Mom gave me an oversized zucchini since she had an overabundance of them (how could she miss so many??). I was hoping Mr. Fix-it would make stuffed zucchini, but after waiting a week, I figured I should do something with it.

This was an easy soup; I just used what I had on hand. I diced up the zucchini, along with some onion, carrot, and celery, and tomato. I sauteed the onion w/some olive oil, then added the rest of the veggies and enough water to cover. It turns out I didn't have any chicken stock in the freezer or pantry, but I did have a chicken breast in the freezer, so I chopped that up too and added it to the soup. The only seasonings were the usual salt, pepper, and garlic. Oh, and some chervil.
I was going to add some pasta or frozen corn, but didn't have any corn and I couldn't fit the pasta in the pot, lol. The soup turned out better than expected, I think because the tomatoes were so flavorful. This soup is a great way to use up those leftover veggies in your fridge. I think you could add almost anything to it.

Peach cobbler

Tonight I made a variation of the Pioneer Woman's cobbler. She used blackberries and I've made this in the past with blueberries. That was a winner, but since we had an abundance of peaches, I tried that tonight. It was a winner too. I think that some vanilla ice cream would have made it even better. We had some plain yogurt though and that was good. The cobbler is sweet enough that even plain yogurt is tasty. And that's with me reducing the sugar by 1/8 cup. Oh, and if you try it, you might want to check if it's done at 50 minutes instead of waiting the full hour. I think mine is a little overdone.
