This gluten-free zucchini bread is a moist, tender, and delicious treat everyone can enjoy! The zucchini is blended so kids don't even realize they're eating vegetables. I like to top the baked loaf with a sweet lemon glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced zucchini

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Combine zucchini, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a blender; pulse until mixture resembles a milkshake.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

While the bread is cooling, make the glaze: Mix confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl to form a thin glaze. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Pressure Cooker Beef Chili
When you ask someone why they don't use a pressure cooker, one of the most common replies is something to the effect of: I'm really not into being killed by an exploding stew. The marvels of pressurized heat are actually very simple!
Easy Creamy Hummus
This is an adaptation of a recipe I found. I made adjustments to eliminate chopping and blending. It makes for an easy, tasty, creamy hummus. Garnish the top with some olive oil, ground paprika, or fresh minced basil if you like.
