Please note that I have not tried all of these recipes (yet), but they were given good reviews on the sources where they were found. The ones I've tried will have my review at the very bottom of the post. I'd appreciate it if you would please leave a comment if you try any of them. I would also love to get any recipes you may have or suggestions you have that this blog should include.

Zucchini Bread

zucchini, shredded (about two small/cucumber-size zucchinis)

low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 teaspoon

5-Add zucchini and vanilla and stir until mixed through.
6-Sift flour in a medium bowl and add cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder& soda, and salt to it.

8-Fold ingredients into each other just until nicely combined.
9-Pour 'batter' into two loaf pans, and put into oven.
10-Bake for 1 hour and check to see if done (toothpick poked through center should come clean when done).

12-It could take between an hour and an hour and a half to bake completely.

My review: This is super yummy and moist but DO NOT try to pull out of the pan or slice while it is still hot, it will make a very big mess. I also recommend that you eat the bread within a week or it starts to get sticky. Also, FYI, I tried to substitute all of the oil with applesauce and it didn't taste quite as good.
