Zucchini Bread

*Guest post from Turtle's Mom*

This is the freshest zucchini bread we've ever made - the zucchini went straight from the garden into the bread!  Well, there were a few steps in between...

Ingredients:

3 eggs, beaten until fluffy
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Optional: 1 cup of nuts, or even chocolate chips

Instructions:

Cream the oil with the sugar, add the beaten eggs and vanilla.  Slowly add all dry ingredients, and fold in the zucchini.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Once cooled, you can wrap these in plastic wrap and seal them into a large Ziploc bag, to be enjoyed in the winter months.

Grating the fresh zucchini...


These disposable dishes are great if you want to make extra breads to freeze, or to give away to others.


 And here is the finished product, made in a variety of dishes! 

And here's what's been going on at my parents' house...
Fresh produce from the garden!

Meet Kurds, one of the free range Silkie chickens.  Isn't she adorable?
