The zucchini are ready!

Karl went down to the garden and found two zucchinis. they were both this size.  One we had for supper...............into the fry pan went a bit of butter, chopped zucchini, onions and near the end some home canned tomatoes.  Cook until tender.
While you are cooking this up in the frypan, cook up a load of egg noodles.  When everything is done, combine and put on plates and serve with garlic bread.

YUMMY !  I love this dish.  It is fast and easy.  Perfect for a Friday night supper

This one was used for zucchini bread.  I have the best recipe for bread.  Andree gave it to me last year.  Its so easy to do.  Here you go:


Zucchini Bread


Grate your zucchini measuring 2 cups packed

In a large mixing bowl, combine..........
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups of zucchini
Mix well.

Sift together in another bowl
3 cups white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Combine with the wet ingredients.

Add
1/2 cup golden raisins

Prepare 2 greased 8:" x 4" loaf pans.  Pour 1/2 the batter into one pan, 1/2 the batter into the other.
Bake at 350* for 50 - 60 minutes.
Let cool in pan 10 minutes.

HINT:  My aluminum foil pans are slightly smaller so I get 3 loaves out of one batch.  They bake for less time.

For a twist on the bread add 2 tbsp grated orange rind to the mixture.

Enjoy.


Til tomorrow....................
