Romancing The Chocolate: Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread: From Denny: Summer time and the zucchini are multiplying like rabbits in our gardens! Zucchini bread is always welcome just plain but how about "gilding the lily"? Add some cocoa, chocolate chips and espresso powder to put it over the top.

Quick breads like this recipe are always welcome for the holidays or when you want something special - but not complicated or too demanding of your time and effort. Like most quick breads this one is an easy recipe to make. While this delicious bread bakes just sit down, relax and tour through your favorite collected old cookbooks or breeze through some interesting online recipe databases. Works for me!

Dennys Food and Recipes: Summer Recipe: Cool Fake Watermelon Cheesecake: From Denny: This is such a fun colorful cheesecake to make that is sure to impress for any special holiday or occasion! While it looks like watermelon it's really a strawberry flavored cheesecake supported by a delicious coconut and pistachio crumble crust that imitates the watermelon rind. How clever is that? And you know it sure tastes better than the rind. :) To imitate the look of the watermelon seeds you garnish the cheesecake with mini chocolate chips.

The beauty of this cheesecake is that you don't have to bake it. Everything is done on the stove top and then chilled. Well, I'm sold; ready to start cooking? ...
