~Zuchinni Bites~




No! Zuchinni doesnt bite! I came up with an idea to make Zuchinni in smaller bite size pieces! I have a minature muffin pan, that worked great for this idea! With 4 kids, having snacks they can just grab and go is Awesome! So I made the Zuchinni mixture and made mini muffins! It was a big hit and the kids love them.
Here's the recipe I used.
1 1/2 cups of all purposed flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 beaten egg
1 cup sugar
1 cup finely shredded,unpealed zuchinni
1/4 cup cooking oil
recipe also calls for 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (kids dont like nuts, so i added none)
Oven on 350 degrees
Since I used a mini cupcake pan cooking time was 20 min or so.
For doing a loaf cook for 50min.
Spray the pan you are using!
In 1 bowl combine Flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, & nutmeg. Mix it up and make a well in center of mixture and set aside.
In bowl number 2. Combine egg, sugar, zuchinni & oil. mix well.
Add Zuchinni mixture to flour mixture. Stir until moistened (batter should be lumpy)



Then spooned the mixture into my mini cupcake pan. Baked for 20 min. check with toothpic to check if cooked all the way through. When done, I poped em out of pan and placed on baking rack to cool. Let them cool for an hour and put them in a container!



Happy Grab and Go eating!!!

Zuchinni anyone!!!


We have been eating Zuchinni everynight this past week and weekend! We have had it in pasta, mixed with yellow squash, onion and tomatos with shreded cheddar cheese! Our favorite thing has been to cut it up and deep fry it in italian bread crumbs and sprinkle with parmesean cheese. So very Yummy! Whats next? Zuchinni bread! Never have i made this, hope it turns out well. My lil one kyla says this last batch we picked is all hers! She enjoys helping and picking veggies out of the garden. If they help grow it, water it and pick it, they will eat it! Its so fun watching her get excitied when something new appears in the garden! Anyone have any other yummy ideas for zuchinni that you wouldnt mind sharing?
