Zucchini Bread

This was my first attempt at Zucchini Bread and it was delicious! I also LOVE the 4 Loaf Tray that I baked it in...wonderful!! INGREDIENTS: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil (I used ½ cup oil + ½ cup applesauce) 2 1/4 cups white sugar 3 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups grated zucchini 1/2 cup chocolate chips DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 325; place 4 Loaf Tray on perforated baking sheet. 2. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. 3. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts or chocolate chips until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. 4. Bake for 40 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 10-20 minutes at least. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool. One of the reasons I love t...

Banana Bread

This is some of the moistest (if that's even a word) banana breads ever!! Heat oven to 350. Place your favorite mold or tray on your baking sheet. The picture shown is my Charlotte Tray, but I also love to use my Medium Tartlet Tray and pour the rest of the batter into a smaller mold (like small round or Christmas Tree). In large bowl cream together: ½ cup butter, softened ¾ cup sugar Then add 2 eggs and mix well Then add 3-4 large ripened bananas** 1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 cup milk Add flour mixture: 2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking soda ½ tsp salt Additional Add-ins: 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped nuts Bake medium tartlet tray/mini muffins for about 12 minutes, then cook the small mold an additional 5-8 minutes (about 20 total), til middle is cooked through. This is a great basic recipe - amazing by itself or with the add-ins. You can even substitute brown sugar if you prefer. **Trick to moist banana bread is to zap the ba...

Amazing Bread (technically it's called "Crusty Fat-Free Bread")

So for those who do not know, Demarle at Home is the maker of the "Silform", which is what Subway uses to make their bread. When I started selling it, Joe wanted to buy a silform...I put it off for a while thinking realistically we would never make our own bread. However, I bought one recently and Joe promised he'd make bread...and he did...:)And it is delicious...well, the one recipe he's made (a couple times already). It is so easy to make and truly is really good. He uses the different herbs & seasonings that Demarle offers with it, which really showcases those herbs. So, here is the recipe. It is out of the Demarle "Beginnings & Endings" cookbook. I think I'll make hime make the bread now every time I do a show ;)It's good by itself or served with a dish, like stew. 1 envelope rapid-rise dry yeast 2 cups lukewarm water 1 tbsp salt 1 tbsp sugar 4 1/2 - 5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour Seasonings of choice (personally I like it w/ Herbs ...
