Simply Yummy Zucchini Bread

I’ve been making this zucchini bread for over thirty years. I found it in Bouquet Garni: A liberal sampling for the fine art of cooking from alumnae of Mount Holyoke College, published in 1978. It’s one of my staples., yummy and simple to make.

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil (I use canola oil)
3 cups zucchini, peeled and grated (I grate in a food processor)
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour (I use 2 cups white, 1 cup whole wheat)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup grated coconut

Beat eggs until they are foamy; add sugar, oil, zucchini and vanilla; mix well. Combine the remaining ingredients, and add them to the zucchini mixture. Divide batter between two well-buttered 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes.

    About Comfort Food

        Whenever I long for silence, solitude and simplicity, I’m always hoping to find comfort food waiting for me.  My comfort food rules are simple.

    Comfort Food must be
    1) Easy to prepare
    2) Taste yummy in my tummy
    Comfort Food does not need to be
    1) Nutritious (although it often is)
    2) Prepared from scratch
    Comfort Food can be
    1) Fruit and vegetables
    2) Fried in bacon fat (my personal favorite)
    3) Chocolate
    4) Low in cholesterol
    5) High in cholesterol
    6) Add your personal favorite:­­­_____________
