The Unique Life of an Average Girl

I Love Zucchini Bread!

Day one - 6/15/15

Hi everyone! Today I am sitting at home in my pajamas and it is almost noon. Yes, summer is here and this past semester is done. I was just deciding what to do today when I remembered that I have fresh picked zucchini in the fridge! And I really don't like zucchini, but I love zucchini bread! So while I was eating breakfast an hour ago I decided I will watch a movie and bake at the same time. I would listen to music while I am baking except I am way too tired to listen to music and start dancing to my playlist.

I was on Pinterest this morning, of course I am always on it, and typed in zucchini bread and so many different things popped up! I have made carrot zucchini bread in the past but I have never heard of chocolate chip zucchini bread or double chocolate zucchini bread.

Hold on guys... Stupid mocking birds won't shut up.

Okay I am back. Sorry about that. We have mocking birds and they make the most annoying noise. I swear I am going to shoot them, but aren't mocking birds protected? Yeah, so in the meantime all I can do is shut the door and make sure all the windows are closed and hopefully block out their awful noise.

Where was I? Right. Zucchini bread.  I found this really good recipe called "Mom's soft and moist zucchini bread" so I clicked on it and it looks simple enough to bake. But before I can bake I must do a few dishes and put my movie in the DVD player! If you are curious to what movie I am watching it is Vampire Academy. I love it!!!

Okay I must go to bake but I will be back!

The bread is in the oven! I tasted the raw batter even though I am against raw batter if it is not brownie or cake batter. It took an hour to do everything and just in time for me to finish the best part of the movie!   

Now in an hour the bread will come out and hopefully it will taste amazing! For you recipe lovers here it is:

3 eggs beaten

2 cups sugar

2 cups vegetable oil

2 cups grated and peeled zucchini

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix all together and pour in two greased loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees fer. for one hour. Now I accidently used the 1/3 cup instead of the 1/4 cup when I grated the zucchini so I added an extra egg to counteract all the extra zucchini. I also didn't level the cinnamon on the spoon. But I didn't over do it. I can smell it baking! It smells so good! The recipe also suggested to put whipped butter on a slice when you eat it. I usually just use margarine on banana bread so I think it should be good on zucchini bread too. I also advise to check the bread at the 45 minute marker and again 10 minutes after that.

The movie is over. So sad. I've always hated the very end. They set it up like there is going to be another movie. But so far I haven't heard anything about a second one. I guess I got to get the books.

I just checked the bread. It's lookin' good!

What should I do next? I still have to do dishes. But I will procrastinate and do them later. I guess I will call my mom and say hi. She is at work. And yes I still live at home in case you are wondering. So I like to call my mom when she is at work. I usually call her once or twice.

Okay, I called her. It might be just us two for dinner. I don't know what else to say. It's Almost two in the afternoon so I don't think much will happen later on. I guess I will chill with the TV or stay on the computer. There goes the timer!   

 Nothing is on TV. Well, New Moon is on, but I own that movie and have seen it so many times. It looks like my dad is home. He had a dentist appointment today. Not fun.  

I just pulled the bread out with five minutes to spare. For some reason it started to crack on the top. It wasn't over done... So in a bit I will take the bread out of the pans and taste test! Haha. I think I need a nap. I really want a nap. My head hurts. Okay I don't think I can fall asleep so I guess I will go on YouTube.

I hate the bread. I am so disappointed!!! I liked the first bite and it had good flavor and I loved the cinnamon. But the zucchini was just too much. My brother liked it. He said it was good. My dad still can't eat anything yet and my mom isn't home so we will see what she says when she gets home.

It is a quarter past four in the afternoon and it is time to do dishes. I still have a bit of a head ache. I should probably take some Advil.

Well, I had subway for dinner. It was good like usually. My mom tried the bread and she liked it. My dad loved it. I really wish I liked it. It sucks so make something and can't eat it. Anyways I think it is time for me to get ready for bed. When I mean get ready for bed I mean get in pajamas and crawl into bed. Stay on my computer for a few hours and then go to sleep. It is now a quarter before eight and so now seems like a perfect time.

Goodnight all!
