Rice Krispie Treats (My daughter's first cooking ..)

Today my daughter cooked her first cooking assignment Rice Krispie Treats without taking my help. I am so impressed the way she cooked and managed alone. The best part is that she kept the kitchen so clean after the cooking. Way to go Sumana. Best of all, these treats are so yummy.

Zucchini Bread with walnuts



Hi Everyone,

I have been thinking of making Zucchini bread ever since I had this at my work place.

Finally I baked it today morning. My daughter helped a lot in completing this recipe. Here is the recipe for the same.

Ingredients:

3 cups of all-purpose flour
2 tea spoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of grated zucchini
3 eggs
1 tea spoon baking soda
1/2 tea spoon baking powder
1 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
2 tea spoons of ground cinnamon
1 tea spoon nutmeg powder

Yields 2 loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 24 muffin cups.

Preparation:

Pre heat ove 350 degrees F. Grease the loaf pan. Line 24 muffin cups with liners.

Dry Ingredients:
Sift flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, spices(nut meg and cinnamon), walnuts together.

Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl beat eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla extract. Now add zucchini and mix well.

Now add the dry ingredients to the creamy mixture(wet ingredients) and mix well.

Instead of two loaf pans I used one loaf pan and remaining in muffin cups.
Pour batter into pan and muffin cups.





Bake loaf pan for 50 to 60 mts or till tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Muffin cups bake quickly. Approx. baking time is 20 to 30 mts.

Cool the bread on a rack for 20 to 30 mts or till it cools completely.
Yummy and delicious bread is ready to be served.

Cut the bread in slices and serve..
