Killin' Two Birds with One Stone

"Vegetables are a must in a diet.....I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie." ~ Garfield

See my cute little mug Miss. Livi gave me? I love it. She got it out of a "free" box someone had sitting in their driveway. Score!

So I have an abundance of zucchini and blueberries. I found a recipe on-line that uses both. Perfect. I made a batch of blueberry zucchini bread for breakfast this morning and enjoyed it with a mug of coffee while I mentally prepared myself for the day. Miss. M. is having a slumber party tonight. A Phantom of the Opera /nachos and chocolate frosting slumber party with 7 other girls. Huh?

Blueberry Bread:
3 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 1/2 cups blueberries

Okay, you know the deal. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla Mix well. Add dry ingred. Fold in zucchini and berries. Spoon into 2 greased laof pans. Bake 350* for 1 hour. Cool and glaze with a powdered sugar and milk mixture if desired.

Happy Friday to y'all!
