Monday night I made zucchini bread with my sister from the zucchini's she is growing in her garden. They are absolutely huge compared to the ones you buy from the store. I'm pretty jealous. I've talked about my garden envy before but this just escalated it to a new level. I didn't bring my camera so I don't have a picture of my own baking but I wanted to share the recipe because it is down right fantastic. (recipe and photo via Streaming Gourmet)

3 eggs 1.5 cups sugar (in 1987 it was 2 cups)
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated zucchini
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder
