Zucchini challenge

We are eating zucchini everyday right now, and my family isn't complaining to badly.  Z isn't that interested in it yet.....but you just wait.

Day three: Zucchini Brownies
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
pinch of salt (I don't add salt most of the time "high blood presure" but when baking you need to)
2 cups zucchini I added a bit more
1/2 cups walnuts or any nut
Mix it all together, you can cream the sugar and oil first then add the zucchini and flour and the rest.
Yes, there is no egg and you don't need it.

Pour into a brownie pan or square or round anything that you have on hand.
Cook for 30 mins at 350

I

 added sprinkles for the little guy.....he is into sprinkles right now.     And since he doesn't get ice cream unless its lactose free or sherbert, or rice milk......I give them to him when I can.

These are moist and awesome, we gave the zucchini brownies a 10 and so did Zane.

Day 4 Stuffed Zucchini

This recipe works well with those big ones you get, cause you didn't go out to the garden for a day.

1 or 2 large Zucchini

1 Onion

Some garlic

1 cup of rice (cooked so if you have leftovers)

1 cup of chicken (again cooked or any meat or don't use meat at all)

1 can of tomatoes

 1 teaspoon italian seasonings

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 1/2 cups of cheese again of your choice

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Take your zucchini's and scoop out the middle, being careful not to go through the whole zucchini.  Keep it and cut it up.

Sprinkle with oil and put in the oven at 350 for about 10 mins.

Now in a large skillet, saute the onions, garlic for about 5 mins, add the rice and chicken and seasonings.  Now cut up the middles of the zucchini or at least the thick parts of it.  And add to the skillet cook the zucchini for about 50 mins and add the tomotes.

Take out the zucchini after the 10 mins and stuff them.   Just scope it all on top, then top with cheese and bake again for about 20 mins.

(little hint:  the filling slides off sometimes after its cooked, so when I made this a second time I put some cheese on the bottom before I filled them and again on top.  It worked to keep the filling in better.

Now this could be done anyway you would like to, so experiment with it.  Change it up, I have made this a few times and even did it once with a can of cream of mushroom soup instead of tomatoes.....yummy.
