Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

I made some pretty amazing gluten-free/dairy free zucchini bread, yesterday, by just tweaking our old beloved recipe from my mom-in-law. Thought I’d share it since many of my friends are on the same diet.

3 eggs

2 cups sugar (I did 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 c. rice syrup , 1 single pack of unsweetened apple sauce + 3 single packs of Stevia)

1 cup cooking oil (I used coconut oil)

2 cups grated zucchini, peeled and seeded

½ ts vanilla

3 cups flour (2 c. Arrowhead Gluten Free all-purpose flour, 1/2 c. corn starch and 1/2 c. tapioca flour)

2-3 ts Cinnamon

1 ts salt

1 ts baking soda

1 ts baking powder (I didn’t add any BP, because Arrowhead flour already has this included)

½ cup chopped nuts (optional, I like mine without)

 I added about 1 tsp of Guar Gum, but don’t know if that made any difference.

Grease two 8×4 or 9×5 loaf pans. Beat eggs until frothy (no really, take the time to do this) . Stir in sugar, oil, zucchini and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients.  Bake at 325 F for 45-55 minutes.

Young, tender zucchini need not be peeled or seeded.

Unfortunately, after freezing and thawing the bread, it did lose a little of its sweetness and moistness, so I would recommend eating it all up within 2-3 days.

Church billboards, bumperstickers and slogans.

“The best vitamin for a Christian is B1”

“Regret looks back, worry looks around, faith looks up”

“Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to McDonald’s makes you a hamburger”

“Welcome to Severance – where the geese fly and the bulls cry”  (Rocky Mountain Oysters served daily)

“Son screen prevents sin burn”

“He who dies with the most toys – is still dead”

“Watch you tongue – it’s wet and slips easily” (I need to remember that)

“Forgive your enemies – it messes with their heads”

“Do not criticize your wife’s judgment – look whom she married”

“God answers kneemail”

“Walmart is not the only saving place”

“Get off of Facebook and into my book – God”

“To tolerate everything is to stand for nothing”

“Forbidden fruit create many jams”

“Church parking only! Violators will be baptized”

“Honk if you love Jesus – text while driving if you want to meet him”

I can’t have a blog without writing about my wonderfully talented husband 🙂

His Custom Cabinet business is celebrating it’s 20th year in 2010, and it is still going strong thanks to God’s abundant blessings. Aside from specializing in European style (frameless) cabinetry and countertops, he also does all kinds of other carpentral (I know that’s not a real word) magic. Just to mention a few:

Vanities, undermount sinks, entertainment centers, display cases, custom tables, mantles, Murphy beds, china cabinets, daybeds, office furniture, book cases, drafting table, closet and media storage solutions, jewelry armoires, lockers, conference tables, plus reception areas for University of Northern Colorado, the Town of Eaton, the City of Greeley and many local businesses and churches.

But, really, I should just let the pictures speak for themselves (keep in mind that some of them were taken during construction). For more photos, visit his website www.artisticwoodcraftsmen.com

I am completely new  to this blogging thing, so that will be apparent for a while. But I come from a looooooong line of poets, writers and very opinionated people, so I figured it was time to join the blogging community
