DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!
My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

Zuchinni Bread "Widow Bread"

Oven 350. Bake 40-50min.

Combine in blender:
3eggs
1c oil (I often sub 1/2c with applesauce)
2c raw zuchinni, peeled and pureed or grated
1T vanilla

In large bowl:
3c flour (I often sub in 1/2c of wheat)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/4tsp baking powder
1T cinnamon
1c sugar
1c brown sugar

1-Add blended ingredients to dry ones till just mixed.
*I've modified my mom's original recipe a bit with the applesauce & wheat. But she nicknamed this bread "Widow Bread" because she always had a few loaves of this in the freezer to deliver to her widows and others in need when she was RS President. I try to do the same. You never know when somone will need a little "pick me up"!
