Here's my wanna make zucchini recipe list for this season:
-Lora's Zucchini Soup
-Shanadee's Chocolate Zucchini Bread
-Taste of Home's Zucchini Chicken Pasta
-Pioneer Woman's Zucchini Fritters
-and last but not least, find a killer Fried Zucchini recipe-like the one I had when I was 10 years old, I haven't found one as good since! Laura, you're the only one who really understands this! You were at the restaurant with me and we both know we haven't been the same since!
Zucchini Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Frosting
adapted from Taste of Home-makes 2 dozen
Preheat oven to 350 degrees-place cupcake liners in 2 muffin pans.
3 eggs
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp almond extract-optional
2 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 cup finely grated zucchini
In a med. size bowl beat eggs-add sugar, oil, oj, and extract. Mix well. In another bowl whisk all dry ingreds. and add to egg mixture stirring well to combine-fold in zucchini.
Add filling to muffin pans. Fill 3/4 full in each cup. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool.
Brown Sugar Frosting
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter-room temp.
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
In a saucepan combine brown sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil over med. heat-cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat-add vanilla and whisk in powdered sugar until it's nice and smooth. It will be sort of runny. Kindof in between a glaze and frosting. Frost cupcakes right away or frosting will start to harden.

I've been waiting for a post like this b/c our zucchini is just waiting to be plucked from its vine.
I've realized that food blogs are really difficult during pregnancy b/c the more pictures of food I see, the more I have to eat. I'm still waiting for our personal food chef to arrive from Ireland...we found her on Craigslist & paid her in advance. I wonder why she hasn't showed up yet?
In the meantime I guess I will go to me kitchen & make these meself.
forget about the zuchinni Bryn looks so stinkin cute! its like she's all grown up ..Im really glad she was able to spend time with Ashlin and have someone to aspire to :) ok maybe its the other way around :) As for Zana the reason your chef has disappeared is b/c hername was SHANNON and she found her JOSEPH and they went FAR AND AWAY! luvs
