Got Zucchini?

First thing first, today is my mom's birthday.
Happy Birthday Mama! Love you and miss you much!

Got zucchini? Got apples? Make Zucchini Apple Bread!

Do you have so many zucchinis that your neighbors and friends and co-workers hide from you because you gave them way too many zucchinis? Well, I bet they won't hide from you with this Zucchini Apple Bread!

You know the 2 big holidays that we have coming up in November and December? I bet your friends will love you if you make them this Zucchini Apple Bread.

Ok, I guess you get the idea, here's my recipe for(everyone say it with me) -
Zucchini Apple Bread

Ingredients:
½ cups Canola Oil Or Melted Butter
¾ cups Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Zucchini, Shredded
½ cups Homemade Apple Pie Filling Or Chopped Apple
1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoons Cinnamon
¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
½ teaspoons Salt
½ cups Chopped Nuts (optional)

Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 350F. Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 9″ loaf pan.
2) In a large bowl, mix Canola oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in shredded zucchini and apple.
3) In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg and salt. Add to zucchini mixture.
4) Fold in chopped nuts, if desired.
5) Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool.

I do not have pictures for this, actually I did take some pictures but they came out too bright, so I have decided not to use them.

On another note, we would like to send our warm thoughts to Woodrow from NY Bully Rats. He is very sick. If you haven't already done so, please go over to give some words of encouragement to his mom, Deb.

Da Wooster, we hope you get better and get back to your usual mischievious self. We know you CAN survive this sickness.
