Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment.

Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day.

I have had quite the bumper crop of zucchini this year so I've been trying to find new ways to cook with them. One of my favorite ways is zucchini bread. I searched for a vegan recipe and found one from the Nora Cooks blog. At first, I tried tweaking this to use my sourdough starter, but the bread kept coming out too gummy in texture no matter what I tried. I decided to ditch the sourdough starter part and stick to the recipe. I made a few tweaks like adding apple sauce to cut back on the oil and removing the ground flaxseed because I didn't have any. It didn't really need it in my opinion.
Now I feel this recipe is near perfection for me. I've made it several times this way and enjoy it every time. Even the leftover batter is finger licking good! And no guilt with all the ingredients being vegan. Give this recipe a try even if you need to resort to store-bought zucchini.
