Chocolate Cinnamon Zucchini Bread

Gave  this  a try. Big hit especially with Luke. I like this other zucchini chocolate bread better.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Made this tonight--it's super good. Richer than the chocolate zucchini sheet cake that Mom gave me the recipe for. Of course it would be awesome with a chocolate frosting, but it's not needed. We loved it warm from the oven. It only took 53 minutes to bake in our oven.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Sometimes you just feel that need for sweet white bread that makes your kitchen smell like heaven. Halfway through the process you wonder if it's worth the work/wait and the dishes you have to wash. But then you're really proud of how beautiful the hand-kneaded dough looks as it rises. Finally, you get to present to your husband the most gorgeous loaf and you eat way more carbs that you're supposed to in one sitting. Yeah, that's how it was with these loaves from this recipe. Mine were done baking in 35 minutes instead of 45.

Pumpkin Bread

This is one of my earliest experiences of asking people for recipes. My mom's visiting teacher made this yummy bread for her when I was a teenager.

1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 2/3 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves (I like less)

Mix well:
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup pumpkin

Combine 2 mixtures. Place in greased loaf pan. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees. (3 mini-loaves take about 35-40 min).

I'm coming to grips with the idea that my oven might be a little off. I always have to take things out sooner than recipes say to. I need to test this bread after 75 min. in my oven.
