Smack Your Lips Zucchini Bread Recipe

My zucchini plants are growing like crazy in my container gardens and soon I'll have more of these vegetables than I can eat. And so will everyone else in my neighborhood because they're growing their own zucchini. So, giving the excess veggies to neighbors won't be an option. ;)

I use this recipe for great tasting zucchini bread. I make several batches throughout the growing season. Funny, my neighbors refuse the raw zucchini but they will call and ask if I've got anymore of the bread "made up".

The baked bread freezes well and should keep for at least 3 months - but ours never lasts that long.

Ingredients: 3 eggs, 2 cups sugar, 1 cup cooking oil, 2 cups zucchini, unpeeled and coarsely grated, 3 cups plain flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 tsp vanilla flavoring

Mix all ingredients and pour into greased and floured loaf pans.

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Makes 2 loaves.

This zucchini bread recipe makes great gifts for Christmas, Thanksgiving, makes wonderful hostess gifts and presents for the nice folks throwing a bash, party, gathering, get together, shin dig, throw down, wedding shower, baby shower, bradal shower, birthday, makes a neat informal wedding "cake" or a nice gift for visiting people in rest homes, assisted living homes, or for church socials, church meetings, church revivals, pot luck lunches or neighbor hood pot luck gatherings.
