HTH :-) Best regards, Bob Zucchini Cake 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground allspice 3 cups grated zucchini 1 cup oil 4 eggs Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the eggs, oil, and zucchini and beat well. Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake in 325º oven for about 45 to 50 minutes. Notes: I like this served warm (not hot) without any frosting. You should be able to use all all-purpose flour if you want a it a little more delicate. |

I disagree that squash doesn't freeze well. I slice it into fairly thick
slices and freeze it in meal-size batches. When I'm ready to eat it, I place it in the top of a steamer for a few minutes, then into a pan w/butter, salt & pepper. It's not as good as fresh, but it's certainly edible. "PENMART01" > wrote in message ... > >Lynder writes: > > > >My garden is producing squash and zucchini much faster then I > >can consume them.

I leave a box of them at the end of my drive and let the neighbours help
themselves! "PENMART01" > wrote in message ... > >Shred a large zucchini. It will form a huge mound. Salt it lightly. >>Let it rest for a few minutes.

They are good in quick breads or for stirfrying. The younger ones are not substantial enough to freeze and they turn watery, mushy, and oddly tough, all at the same time. :-P Bob |

>>>Hi all. My garden is producing squash and zucchini much faster then I >>>can consume them. Does anyone have some recipes for them that freeze >>>well? Not sure about the freezing part, but last night I had several different kinds of zucchini coins and some kohlrabi sauteed in olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper and some Penzey's Crouton Seasoning. Delicious! |
