In the past couple of years Kevin and I have begun to shop at local farmer's markets (our favorite is the Bardstown Road one on Saturdays). Through some books we've read, and maybe just growing older, we are desiring to support local businesses and farmers more and more. It's just so great to be able to walk up to someone's booth and purchase the fruits of their hard work all year, and to be able to reward them (slightly). It's also great to be able to get to know these people and form relationships with them. So, with no further ado, here is a recipe for Zucchini bars that we have been gobbling up this week. The Zucchini was purchased from a farmer's market that is located in the United Methodist Church's parking lot on Frankfort Ave. I know for sure that the market is there on Mondays, and may also be there Fridays.
Zucchini Bars
3 eggs
1 cp butter, softened (oil could be used instead)
1 1/2 cp sugar
2 t. vanilla
Mix above ingredients with mixer.
Mix in:
2 1/3 cp flour
1/4 t. baking powder
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
Mix above ingredients, and finally mix in:
2 cp. grated Zucchini
Spread the batter in a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for about 25-30 min, or until done in center.
Frosting:
One block of cream cheese, beaten
1/4 cp. butter, softened
2 t. vanilla
Beat above ingredients, and add in:
2-3 cps confectioners sugar
2-4 T. milk
After the cake has cooled frost with the cream cheese frosting. Or cut individual pieces when still warm and put a spoonful of frosting on each piece as needed.

Sara,
This sounds really gross. You'll have to make some for us to try out. :)

Wow, my own family turning against me in my early attempts at a blog. This is so disappointing.
Hey Aunt Sara! Where are your posts? :)
