Diana's Zucchini Bread

Years ago my friend Diana brought us all some zucchini bread to dinner one night when us girls met.  It was so incredibly delicious so I asked for the recipe and tucked it away for years.  I need to make this soon!  I bet my kids would love it and the added bonus would be some veggies in their bread!

Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

 4 c coarsely chopped zucchini
3 c all-purpose flour
2 1/2 c sugar
1 1/4 c vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 c chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
 Heat oven to 350.  Generously grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans.  Blend all ingredients in mixer on low speed for 1 minutes, scraping bowl constantly.  Beat on medium speed for 1 minute.  Pour into pans.  Bake for 50 minutes to an hour.  Pick should come out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pans.  Cool completely before cutting.  Stores well in refrigerator for about a week.  Freezes well, too.

Biscuit Breakfast Bake

10 eggs
1/2 cup milk
16 oz refrigerated breakfast biscuits (I used the Pillsbury flakey kind) ***DO NOT COOK FIRST***
4 scallions (green onions, spring onions, whatever you prefer to call them)
1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
If you’re into the meats – cooked center cut bacon or cooked sausage
11×17 pan, sprayed with cooking spray (Note: I think a 9×13 works better, but it might need to bake a little longer)

1. Mix your eggs and milk in a large bowl. Cut each biscuit (I’m all about scissors in the kitchen) into fours and add it to the bowl. I like to do this before I cook the bacon or cut up the scallions – give the biscuits some time to really soak in the eggs.

2. Cut up your scallions, shred your cheese, cook and break up your bacon (or sausage). Add everything to the bowl.

3. Mix it all up and pour into your pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes .. closer to 30 so it isn't runny

YUMMY!! Serve with Fresh Fruit Salad and lotsa coffee/tea and assorted juices

*** BLC Hint/Tip *** - if you want to make this the night before leave it in the mixing bowl in the fridge covered with saran. In the morning, give it a good stir then pour into prepared baking dish and proceed to bake as directed!!! See More
