I’ve never had zucchini bread but have heard that it’s pretty good so I went to AllRecipes.com and found Mom’s Zucchini Bread which had a 5 star rating. Unfortunately, the first attempt was a complete disaster. I believe in the old saying, “If you can read, you can cook” and apparently used 3 cups of powdered sugar instead of flour. About half way through my first try, the kitchen smelled really good but when I opened up the oven, something was definitely not right!
My second attempt at this recipe was much better! I believe that it’s safe to say I don’t think I’ll ever mistake powdered sugar for flour again.

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
