Instead how 'bout I share just a few of my most favorite zuc recipes? I thought you might like that! Here goes, this first one I can't take credit for inventing, but I will gladly take the credit when you pop a bite of this chocolatey goodness into your mouth and moan at your mouthful of pleasure!
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup veg oil
1 3/4 cup white sugar2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour milk(OR 1/2 cup of milk with 1 tsp lemon juice mixed in it)
2 1/2 cup flour
4 TBSP cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/4 cup...ish, I use more lol chocolate chips
Cream butter, oil and sugar. Add eggs, canilla and sour milk; beat with mixer. Mis together all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add in small amounts to the creamed mixture. Stir in zucchini and spoon batter into a greased and floured 9x13 pan sprinkle chocolate chips on top and bake at 325 for 45 minutes.
This next one is actually what we had for lunch today. Its soo easy to do in the crock pot or on the stove top. This is in my top three of all time favorite soups.
Italian Vegetable soup
2 packs of Italian sausage. I use sweet cuz my kids are sissys about spicy stuff, but the hot sausage is yummy too.
1 large onion diced
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic...or a couple of cloves fresh minced
8 cups sliced zucchini
2 large! cans of diced tomatos
2 cans of garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
2 cups of beef broth
2 tsp basil
cut your sausage out of the casings and brown and use your muscles to break it up into smallish chunks add your onion when fat starts to render. Now the rest is so easy you are going to laugh.
Dump all remaining ingredients and the sausage and onions into a pot and simmer til the zuc's are tender. Crockpot...assemble and cook on high for about 6 hours.
YUM YUM!
