Zucchini Bread

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me. I've been meaning to make it all summer, but haven't for one reason or another. Yesterday I found a zucchini in my garden so I decided it was about time! I don't have two loaf pans (sad I know) so I opted to make muffins instead. I think they turned out great. I shared some with a few neighbors and the kiddos like them, so I"ll be repeating this one! I'm now stocking the garden waiting for the next zucchini to grow big enough!
Zucchini Bread
3 eggs
2 cups sugar (I used 1/2 splenda)
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup oil (can use greek yogurt or applesauce)
3 tsp vanilla
1 cup nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
3 cups flour (I used half whole wheat flour)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix all together, bake in well-oiled bread pans at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (small) to one hour (large) depending on size of pan. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans and cool.

Makes 24 muffins. Cook at 350 for 20 minutes.

Live Love Laugh

I participated in a swap with my CTMH unit last weekend. This is the card I made. We were encouraged to use the new Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy (z1686), and I sure did! The brackets and star are from the cartridge. Here is a list of the other items I used on this card:

X7141B Elemental Paper Packet

D1482 Love Life Stamp Set (which is one of my faves and Jeanette's too read about it here)

Z1313 Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel (another one of my new found favorites!)

Z1612 Foundary Pin Clips

Cardstock used: Desert Sand, Olive, Sorbet, Creme Brulee, Colonial White. Inks used: Desert Sand, Sorbet, and Olive.

I'll be sharing with you some of the awesome cards I got in the swap soon!
