Zucchini or Banana Bread

I already have some zucchini and my favorite way to use it is by making Zucchini Bread. I can't believe I have not posted this recipe before because I make it every year or as many times as people give me zucchini. I like lots of nuts in it and for me that would not be optional; chocolate makes it a little different and my husband complains every time I put some in.

Ingredients:
3 eggs beaten
1 Cup oil
2 Cups sugar
3 Cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs. cinnamon
3 tsp. vanilla
2 Cups raw zucchini grated or 3 large ripe bananas mashed
nuts and chocolate chips (optional)

Grease and flour 2 large loaf pans. Combine eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla until blended. Stir in zucchini or bananas. Combine dry ingredients and stir to sift; add to the zucchini or banana mixture. Bake at 350F for 50 60 minutes.

Eggs in a basket

My husband got this recipe book for free and he was so excited to try out this breakfast recipe for us. It turned out better than I thought and he might make it for us again soon.

Ingredients:
1 slice of bread
1 egg
Salt and Pepper
Butter

Butter both sides of bread. Cut round circles out of the middle with a knife, cup or biscuit cutter. Place bread in frying pan. Break egg into center of bread. Season with salt and pepper. When egg and bread is browned, turn and brown other side. Also brown middle circles of bread for toast.

You can add anything you want to it; my husband added some bacon flakes and some other spices.
