Zucchini Bread

My good friend Nicole Becker made this the other day.  It is the best Zucchini Bread that I have ever had!  I begged her for the recipe.  Not only did she give me the recipe, but she gave me a Zucchini too!  I made it and it was super yummy!

2 cups grated Zucchini

1 cup Cooking Oil

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

2 cups Sugar

1. Beat eggs, then add Zucchini and cooking oil.

2. Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl.

3. Add dry ingredients to Zucchini mixture.

4. Beat lightly.

5. Divide batter equally between pans.

6. Cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until done.

Weaver Potato Salad

6 Medium Russet Potatoes or Red Potatoes, peeled or unpeeled (2 pounds), and cut to desired size.  (I cut mine to about the size of my thumbprint)

1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

2 medium celery stalks, chopped (1 cup)
4 hard boilded eggs, chopped

1. Heat water (salted if desired) to boiling in 3-quart saucepan.

2. Add potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook 30 to 35 minutes or until tender; drain. Cool slightly; cut into cubes.

3. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in large glass or plastic bowl, not metal.
4. Add potatoes and celery; toss. Stir in eggs.

5. If desired cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours until chilled.  I prefer mine fresh, so I usually make it right before eating it.
