I was craving zucchini bread a few days ago, so I did a little research on foodnetwork.com and found two really great recipes by Paula Deen. One of the breads is more of a dessert and the other is really great with coffee in the morning. They are both really easy to make! I had my sous chef (Andy) grate the zucchini for me – it’s always nice to have help in the kitchen! I dusted a little powdered sugar on top to make it look pretty. Let me know what you think if you try them…

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
2 cups white sugar

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, spices and baking soda.
In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar, and continue beating until well blended. Stir in oil, vanilla, zucchini, pecans, chocolate chips, and orange zest. Stir in sifted ingredients. Pour into prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove loaves from pans and cool. Chill before slicing. Serve with whipped cream and ribbons of zucchini.
