It's Amy - AKA MrsDave. Here is a link to that zucchini bread recipe Dave mentioned. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Moms-Zucchini-Bread/Detail.aspx It's really easy to adapt to alternate ingredients. Here's what I changed: I used 1 1/2 cups each all-purpose and whole wheat flour; I used 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar AND I will probably cut that back to 1/2 cup each next time; I used 1/2 cup applesauce in place of 1/2 of the oil; I used 1/4 cup walnuts (because that's what I had) and 1/4 cup pecans, and 1/2 cup raisins. I got 2 cups of shredded zucchini (LOVE our food processor!) from 1 medium zucchini. I may even add more next time to increase the moisture content. I may add 1/4 cup less whole wheat flour, too (for a total of 2 3/4 cups flour). I like my zucchini bread really moist! Everyone who has tried it has loved it - even our kids! What a great way to get veggies into them! Please let us know if you try the recipe and if you made any changes. Thanks! See you today at pick-up! Amy Hey everyone! It’s Amy – AKA MrsDave.
