Lemon Zucchini Bread

We are still getting zucchini from the garden almost every day, so H has been busy making bread.  He will stock the freezer for the holidays and our daughter and grown grands love to come by and pick up a loaf!

The recipe that he uses is sooo moist and the icing is very lemony.   I don't ice them until they come out of the freezer...I love icing and I LOVE it fresh!

I used these cute fall paper plates to set the table for lunch...we are having salad and a big piece of lemon bread for dessert!   I found the paper plates at Joann's ...half price of course.   They have the matching napkins and I think (not sure) that Joann's had a tablecloth to match.  

Doesn't that look good with a cup of coffee?

The roses are fresh picked from our garden, and the bushes are still loaded with more blooms.

 Lemon Zucchini Bread

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon


Mix wet ingredients in a bowl
1 1/2 c shredded zucchini
1 egg
1/2 c oil
2 t lemon zest  (H adds a little more..we like lots of lemon)

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together and pour in greased and dusted loaf pan

Bake 325 for about 45 minutes


Lemon Icing

1/4 c softened butter
1 1/2 c confectioner sugar
3-4 T lemon juice
1 T lemon zest
drop of yellow food coloring

Beat well, add more lemon juice if it's too thick

ENJOY!

  3. Good Morning Penny, thank you for the recipe for Lemon Zucchini Bread, I have just grated some zuchhini and placed them in the freezer and I was wondering what to make with them and here is the answer.... your lovely lemony bread.
    The roses in the coffee pot look so beautiful and how wonderful to still have roses growing in your garden.
    There is always something beautiful to admire when I pop by to visit you.
    Best Wishes
    Daphne

  4. Hi Penny... I make alot of zucchini bread too as everyone in my family loves it as well... will have to try your lemon icing on mine next time... and like you, we freeze alot for later!... your coffee and bread look so yummy, wish I could just snatch some out of my computer for right now!... my roses are still lingering some, but our temps have turned very cold during the night, then warm up a bit in the day... it's a beautiful October here though... love your Autumn plates and napkins!... xoxo Julie Marie
