Zucchini Loaves

and now Suzanne has something to say about garden :: recipe :: sweetie

Tis the season of zucchini bludgeons. If you are so blessed, get baking.

Zucchini Loaves

Grate one large zucchini. Put the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture (I save it for soup stock).

Combine:
4 C shredded zucchini
2 C white flour
2 C whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 C melted butter
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C white sugar
1/2 C chopped or slivered nuts
3 eggs
5 t baking powder
1 t vanilla extract
1 t salt
1 t allspice
1 t cinnamon
1/2 ginger
1/2 t nutmeg

Spoon into 6 greased little loaf pans. Spoon 1/2 t pearl sugar on top of each loaf. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

Here I chatter about books, parenting, election 2008, recipes, teaching college writing, and the adventures of getting settled in with our two freshly (Fall 06) adopted school-age children from Russia. This blog is chapter two; chapter one is posted at Jamie & Suzanne go to Russia. I live in the City of Subdued Excitement, Cascadia, Land of the Free.

I am the wife of a man I call My Gift from a Generous God. I am mama to two lovely children, Dandy and Chickadee that became ours in September 2006 in a court-room in Siberia. I am the daughter of two people whom I love and admire. One of them, my dad, is a new (Dec 06) paraplegic.

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
