~ A New Recipe ~

Earlier today I tried a new recipe....Chocolate zucchini bread, yum. This recipe is from the food section of our local newspaper. If you'd like to try it, just click on the picture for the ingredients and directions.
Gather all your ingredients...the sugar, flour, baking powder, soda and salt are already measured and in my new batter bowl. Can you see it? It's from my honey, for my birthday, I love it....it's Jadeite by FireKing, he found it at the Folsom Market and do you see the little measuring spoons? Those were a surprise from his flea market jaunt this morning......

I have a fun collection of heart shaped measuring spoons and these are a neat addition. Each set is different...can you read what these say? The tablespoon~A heap of love, ~ teaspoon~A spoonful of affection, ~ 1/2 tsp~ A dash of tenderness, ~ 1/4 tsp~ A pinch of joy...I like these sentiments. Back to the recipe, finish mixing the dry ingredients, zucchini, coca, and wet ingredients. Put in a greased loaf pan and bake...remember, for the recipe and all the steps click on the recipe.
Right out of the oven....smells delicious!!!! Cool.....
completely, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy....and we did. This bread is so yummy, nice and moist, next time I' m adding nuts. If you ever bake this let me know...hugs, Linda

Gosh! This sound so good, but, we did not plant zucchini this year. Usually we have too much and we do not know what to do with it! This year we have okra coming out of our ears! Any ideas???? Okra bread???

I just had a chocolate zucchini bread my sister-in-law made...she spread (or dumped) a bunch of chocolate chips on top and it was great! I love jadite too--I saw a similar Fire King piece at a flea market recently and regret not buying it.
