when life hands you zucchini....
Monday, September 10, 2007.......make zucchini bread.
3 eggs :: 1 cup cooking oil :: 2 cups sugar :: 2 cups grated zucchini :: 3 tsp vanilla :: 3 cups flour ::
1 tsp salt :: 1 tsp baking soda :: 3 tsp cinnamon :: 1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
Mix first 5 ingredients, mix dry ingredients, add to wet ingredients, stir in nuts, if desired. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes.
I plan on getting back into our "cookie of the week", within the next couple of weeks. I find it so much easier when I have their after school snacks waiting for them, especially since they are usually starving! This recipe is also a good way to sneak in an extra vegetable. :)
I have set another ridiculous deadline. I only have the collar left to knit on my silver belle, and hope to have it finished by Wednesday. Oh, the things I do to myself. As my husband calls it.....self imposed busy...ness!

That looks delicious! I have one son who is a confirmed vegephobe. One day when he was three, I made meatloaf. I grated zucchini on the smallest grater until it was mush and mixed it into the meat. It was invisible, odorless, and tasteless. He took one bite of the meatloaf, spit it out, and hollered, "There're vegetables in there!" with a look of utter loathing. I wonder if this would go over better.
ReplyDeleteLooks like t turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYum!
