Zucchini Bread3 eggs, 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 cups peeled & grated zucchini, 3 teaspoons vanilla, 3 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon salt (optional), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Beat eggs until foamy. Add oil, sugar, zucchini & vanilla. Mix lightly. Add sifted dry ingredients. Mix and bake in 2 greased & floured loaf pans at 325 degrees for an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
If your area is anything like the Pacific northwest~zucchini grows like weeds. I have only 2 zucchini plants and expect to get as much or more zucchini than I can use. I have shredded the excess and popped it in the freezer in Ziplock Freezer Bags or if you have a Food Saver it can be vacuum packed, then frozen. I've used shredded zucchini in soups & stews and also muffins during the winter months.

I love zucchini bread, banana bread and carrot cake
yum! my mom used to make zucchini bread; haven't had it in years but this looks like something to try down the line
love the roses as your header
enjoy your weekend Linda :)

I never tried zucchini bread and I'm surprised it grows so rampant. We pay through the nose for it in Miami.
Great picture of the roses.

Love the new header Linda, and I adore Zucchini bread. Yours looks like a wonderful recipe!
I like the flowers better than the killer whales. D
This sounds great! My husband loves zucchini bread so I think I will have to try this. Linda
I'm not much of a vegetable eater, but I can take or leave zucchini. I do like the bread though. It does grow pretty well here. A friend of mine had a pretty large garden & it was packed with it. I bet it is a great addition to soups and stews & I will definitely give that a try on my next pot of stew.
Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Hugs, Barb *queenb
