Sketchbook Tuesday - Two for one

Two sketches today, just for one visit. Above is a sketch from a photo that I took through the car's wind shield with my phone's camera while driving home one evening last week. With the moon rising the light was magical. I posted the photo here.

I had been wanting zucchini bread for breakfast for some time now and finally made some last weekend. No one complained. It's a recipe that I have had for so long that I don't even remember where it came from. Back when we could grow zucchini I used to grate it and freeze in baggies in 2 cup quantities, since my favorite recipes using zucchini call for 2 cups. In this way I could make zucchini patties, muffins, and bread throughout the winter. Here's my zucchini bread recipe :

 Zucchini Bread

(makes 2 loaves)

~ 3 eggs

~ 2 cups sugar

~ 1 cup oil

~ 3 cups flour

~ 1 tsp. baking soda

~ 1 tsp. salt

~ 1/2 tsp. baking powder

~ 2 tsp. cinnamon

~ 2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini

~ 2 tsp. vanilla 

~ optional ~ 1 cup oatmeal

Cream together eggs, sugar, and oil. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Bake in 350 F oven 1 hour to 1 hour + 10 minutes or when tested done with a toothpick. Cool. 

This bread freezes beautifully.
