Zucchini Bread

We just finished combining, that’s always a great feeling, While I have been focused on work and getting meals out to the field the zucchini patch has been producing. I have made Chocolate Zucchini Cake, an amazing Zucchini Dill soup (find both recipes in back issues of the Vermilion Voice), and zucchini patties (so good), Here is another great zucchini recipe.

Zucchini Bread

4 eggs

1 cup melted lard

1 1/2 cups sugar (can be half brown

sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups flour (unbleached can be

part

whole wheat)

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon

3 cups grated zucchini

1 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Beat the eggs, and then beat in the lard. Beat in the sugar and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, stir in the zucchini, and walnuts or chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
