Grandma Mosers Zucchini Bread

When we had a garden, Grandma Ziegler used to give Grandma Moser some of our extra zucchini because she loved it and would freeze it in chunks and grated. She gave us her special zucchini bread recipe in return. Grandma Moser was another one in our lives that could whip up a giant family dinner with the wave of her hand. She had cooking for a crowd down to a science, I have good memories of this. She could feed a tableful with one giant oven baked steak and fixings. I think I have her baked steak recipe somewhere, I haven't found it yet but I will. Anyways, here's the zucchini bread, it's tasty and easy.

Mix well.

3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups zucchini chopped in blender
3 tsp vanilla

After blending add:
3 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cinnamon

Mix well. Greased loaf pan for 1 hour at 350.

Stuffed Tomatos

350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes

4-6 large tomatos
2 TBS butter
12 oz sausage like Jimmy Dean
1 chopped onion
1 minced garlic clove
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp italian seasoning

Core tomatos, slice off top. Scoop out pulp into bowl. Drain tomatoes upside down on paper towels. Place on foil covered baking sheet or in lined muffin tins if they fit.

Saute sausage, onion, garlic in butter. Stir in tomato pulp and cook well. Drain a little liquid off but not all. Add breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and seasoning. Mix well.

Spoon sausage mix into tomato shells. Bake.

Sausage mix can also be used to stuff large zucchini. Follow directions but substitute zucchini for tomato.

Got the recipe from old friend Nancy Coralles in Wahiawa.
