Sunday Farmer's Market, kinda

I didn't go to the market this week. I didn't need to pick up my box and I had so many veggies i just had to do something with them. Just making some tomato sauce on zucchini and ravioli wasn't going to cut it. I found out that you can freeze bell pepper as well as shredded zucchini for bread. and since you can mix yellow squash in with zucchini to make bread, i made a mixture.

I managed not to shred a finger. Excellent. :)


Here's the recipe i use for zucchini bread. I got it from my CSA's biweekly email.

MIX TOGETHER:
1CUP VEGETABLE OIL

2CUPS GRATED ZUCCHINI
2CUPS SUGAR

3 EGGS
1TBL VANILLA
SIFT TOGETHER 2 CUPS FLOUR, 1 TBL CINNAMON, ½ TSP. SALT, ¼ TSP. OF BAKING POWDER, 2 TSP. BAKING SODA. BLEND INTO THE ZUCCHINI MIX. ADD NUTS OR RAISINS, IF DESIRED.
POUR INTO A GREASED LOAF PAN AND BAKE AT 350 FOR 1 HOUR

Makes 1 really thick loaf or two thinner ones.

I ended up with 3 bags of future bread mixings out of several small yellow squash, a couple small zucchini and part of that big one. Here's a pic with one of the survivors. It was a temporary reprieve though as that one ended up in the tomato sauce.

I also made kale chips. B seemed to like them once he tried them but i know he was apprehensive. There are recipes all over the web but don't over cook as they get a little burny flavored which isn't as good. opening the container this morning they smelled just like good potato chips!

I succeeded in cleaning out my crisper drawer for the first time in about 2 months. I've only got a few tomatoes and cucumbers, a little honeydew melon, and one eggplant that i'll be using for dinner tonight. YES! but i'll be getting more veggies next week. eek!
