A Handed-Down Family Recipe || Zucchini Bread

[@thirdeyelabs]

I'm a Chef and I love Meg's recipes and cooking ability because she cooks down home, country food that I do not get to experience as I'm always cooking fancy fine dining food. She also seems very confident and hardworking in the kitchen. Bravo!

[@CreatorInTrng]

thanks for you input from the rest of so-called home cooks.

@Beavis that's Your Opinion, She is Cooking and Baking what Her Family likes, Rock on Meg!!!

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

@Beavis She used vanilla.

[@PatrickPoet]

I love her cooking teaching segments more than most others because it's like jazz cooking. She not only improvises constantly but she tells us how to do it as well. If you want to know how to cook without recipes Meg's the one to watch. I love the way that all the way through she's talking about substitutes for everything.

[@TobyCatVA]

Kids vistitor "Why is your Dad staring into the open fridge?" Son "Shhh he's cooking tonight and it's gonna be awesome." I was the Dad hearing this and grinned because I learned to cook at my great grandmother's apron strings. It wasn't that she didn't want to follow a recipe it was that she never really knew what we would have on hand and could not afford measuring cups etc... By the time I came along to learn we were not depression era poor anymore, but by then "seeing what we got" and measuring by feel was just how it was done.

Love it. You not only shared your recipe in very memorable portions, but did a little teaching on creative tweaking of a recipe. You cook the way I do. Looks so yummy. I love zucchini bread.

Just made this recipe with my granddaughters and am passing this one down to them Meg. Oh and we added pineapple. Just waiting to finish baking. Can’t wait to devour it! God Bless.

[@brendafielder402]

Meg, I love following you and Ben and your family. The way y’all work together is so refreshing and I love the fact that you sit together for meals and always give God thanks. May you all be blessed!

[@TobyCatVA]

Granddad to mother to son to his child to theirs in my family line all taught the family table words to live by: "Wanna eat? Make sure your butt is in that seat." Spoken as the reigning head of the household at that time gestures to your given chair or spot on the kids bench. Not there for some reason at the last meal? Good news is there will be another in six-ish hours. Unless you missed dinner then you best go look sad near your ma in hopes of being granted a "pitty plate".

Meg, haven't been able to find my packed up zucchini recipe. I appreciate you sharing this.

[@robinrummel1359]

You can use unsweetened applesauce to cut the sugar even more although it may need a bit more flour to counteract the semi-liquid applesauce. Also adding semi-sweet chocolate pieces kicks it up a notch for us chocoholics since chocolate improves just about everything! 😂👍💖

[@kari-gs4eq]

Applesauce is a great substitute for oil

[@purplegreen5436]

Yes and heart healthy too!

[@sharonhaas8503]

Your teach the little one sign language that is great!!! My son is deaf and it is wonderful to see people using it and teach little ones!!

[@suellenw561]

The recipe is similar to one I found many yrs ago. It includes a small can of crushed pineapple. It gets compliments almost every time I take it to a pot luck. It came from Organic Gardening magazine in the late 1970s & is called All-Seasons Bread. It has directions on using carrots, apples, sweet potatoes or bananas saying to use ONE of those. I have made blueberry banana bread & it's great. I was surprised it didn't say zucchini but that works, too.

[@benthere801]

you produce a great tutorial! I don't cook, but i eat very well.

Ok MEG I’m sure the verdict is unanimous. We all want you to start a cooking channel!!!! You make it fun and easy. This video is so simply done without a bunch of fluff. Your great in it. It was precise and to the point. You killed it!!! You said to add carrots or sweet potatoes if we want. Nobody else does it like you do, your brilliant. I have read the comments and we are all in!!! You got all of our support. You have chefs following you and that speaks volumes to the masses. I live in southwest Missouri and I can’t wait to meet you and your awesome family someday at a conference at some point to tell you how amazing you are in person. GOD BLESS And I will see ya at a dinner table soon. As long as I get leftovers!!! LOL.

One more thing...this old lady must say that I love that little girl. You guys have done such a good job with your offspring, and I look forward to what your generation (as well as my son's) do with this world and the next generation.

[@jojacobson179]

I bet you love the pineapple. Adds a great taste and moisture. I always add a can of crushed to mine. Also cranberries are a great substitute for raisins

[@frankiefry1]

I just made one, but used dried currents instead of raisins. I think a lot of different fruits would work well.

[@robinrummel1359]

I like that idea, not a fan of raisins, must have eaten too many as a kid but love cranberries! 👍

When you butter your pan, instead of coating it with flour, use sugar. It makes a slightly crunchy sweet crust!

Thank you So Much!

[@iartistdotme]

I grew 6 plants last year and year before - no zucchini - squash bugs and vine borer. This year I just tried one plant and really watched it - vine borer. So in 3 years I've had no zucchini, the only gardener on the planet to not grow it. Your cake looks so delicious!!! Makes me mad at the bugs all over again.

[@rainspringing]

You are not alone. Plenty of people have to time it to miss the first round of borers, and get what they can before the second round take it all down. Although usually means you are trying to dodge late season pickle worms too. I hear the hybrids or plain green zucchini are faster and more prolific, but we'd rather struggle for the variety we like.

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

Mine hasn't done well either - the plants are still alive but not one blossom. I still have hope ... I used to grow so much that I had enough to give away ... sometimes sneaking it into friends unlocked cars in the church parking lot on Sunday ... 😂

I just saw oxtails (actually beef tails) at Fred meyers and they were 12.99 a pound! For oxtail! My mom used them because they would almost give them to you back in the 60's and 70's. She made all kinds of meals out of them. Now you can afford them. Never thought I'd see the day that hamburger meat is 4.00 to 8.00 a pound either!

Just made your zucchini bread recipe. I made it gluten free. As I'm allergic to gluten and dairy. I subbed bobs red mill baking flour. I also used mini vegan chocolate chips (no dairy or gluten) and I used walnuts. Turned out really good. So yes, you can sub gluten free flour. And I used one of the commentators idea using sugar in place of the flour for dusting the bundt pan. Worked excellent!
