Garden woes

All right, the first zucchinis are hitting the kitchen. We all know how it is to have a glut of the green veggies. I have something special that I do with them, and I'm going to share it with you, right at the beginning of zucchini season.

Not-Just-Zucchini Bread

3 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups finely grated zucchini
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In small bowl, beat eggs, then add sugar and oil.

Melt chocolate.

Dump all ingredients into a large bowl and mix to combine. Pour batter into 2 greased loaf pans.

Bake for 75 minutes.

Cool on wire racks.

Makes 2 loaves.

Enjoy! And yes, my baking lesson was canceled again this week. That's why I'm sharing my own recipe with you. I'm hopeful that by next week my darling teacher will be fully recovered!
