Welcome to Kitchen Kat!

I love writing. I love food. Those are two interests that have stayed constant throughout my life. So why not combine the two? Perfect! Trying out different food is like almost like traveling; you get to experience different smells, tastes, and atmospheres. It brings a bit of the culture to you, even if you didn't leave your home. This blog explores Portland restaurants (plus any notable ones I encounter on vacation), recipes that worked out exceptionally for me, plus any other epicurean delights that come my way. Put any reservations aside, now it's time to chow down on some food for thought....

The Great Zucchini

It's zucchini season in my garden now, and I needed to use up the great abundance that I was now faced with. What better way than zucchini bread?


The following recipe I got from Alex, I have no idea where he got it from, but it is the most delicious, spicy, and moist one I've ever tried. Plus, it's easy too, always a bonus.



Zucchini Bread


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Blend:
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup oil

Add:

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini


Sift together, then add:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • dash of nutmeg

Pour into 2 greased and floured bread pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until done. (It only took 50 minutes for me.)
Here's the result:

Happy baking!
