Look good??It is!
Look like too many for dinner?Yep!
Garden Fresh!I woke up this morning to two things staring me in the face!
1. A whole bunch of very large zucchini that we've been picking from our garden and that I need to do something with
2. A huge pot of pinto beans that I cooked all night in my crock-pot.
So I did the only thing that made sense. Took a little of 1 and a little of 2. Mixed them together and created some tasty, full of fiber, zucchini bread.
Did you know you could do that?
I used this recipe, because I just love Paula Deen.
But.....Mrs. Paula Deen likes sugar more than I do so I reduced the sugar from 3 cups to 1 1/2 cup. It totally worked.
And the beans, yep I just smashed them up and added them into the bread in place of the oil. So instead of adding 1 whole cup of oil to my bread I added 1 cup of healthy beans, mashed with a little of their own juice.
Oh, and people, I sub whole wheat flour for everything so that is just a given.
This bread was a hit for my family and my girlfriend had no idea there were beans in there!

I know I will sound stupid asking this but how do you prepare dried beans. The only dried beans/thing I have used are split peas for soup. I have a ton of dried beans and want to learn how to use them in yummy recipes.
