Zucchini Coconut Bread

Zucchini Coconut Bread
Cream Together:
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
Add: 2 cups grated zucchini (you can leave the skin on); 1 cup crushed pineapple (8 oz.) drained.
Mix dry ingredients: 3 cups flour; 1 tsp. salt; 2 tsp. cinnamon; 2 tsp. soda; 1/2 tsp. baking powder.

Add to creamed mixture; 1 cup nuts; 1 cup of coconut.

Bake for 1 hour @ 325 degrees. Makes 3 medium loaves.
This is the best bread I love it with walnuts it gives it just the right crunch. Although Joe hates walnuts so usually we have to do 1/2 with 1/2 without... I've almost made it with Pecan's and that's just as good if not better than the walnuts!

Good 'N Easy Pizza

Good 'N Easy Pizza Crust

1 cup warm water

1 Tablespoon yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons Oil

2 1/2 cups flour

Mix warm water and yeast. Then add all other ingredients. Mix well and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll out on a round or square sheet. Add desired toppings. I do mine in the kitchen aid and it works great!

For the stuffed crust just add string cheese and fold the edges over top of it. I split my string cheese into thirds cause I'm cheap but I'm sure you could use the whole thing if you wanted and it'd be very yummy but again I'm cheap! :)

♥ Kathleen's Peanut Butter Icing

This is a great cake! I just used a Devil Food's boxed cake because I didn't want to go to all the trouble for the cake but the frosting was really great! The recipe is below!

Kathleen's Peanut Butter Icing:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup heavy cream

Place the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until creamy, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as you work. Add the cream and beat on high speed until the mixture is light and smooth.

Also this is my new favorite kitchen tool! The wire is adjustable so that you can slice your cake for perfect layers!!!

Tater Tot Casserole

Very classy on the Pooh plate, huh!!!

Tater Tot Casserole

3 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup

4 cans of Green Beans

1 lb. ground beef

1 bag of Tater Tots

cheese

Cook the ground beef then combine all ingredients together. Place in a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and put Tater Tots on top of cheese. I sprinkle the Tater Tot's with some seasoning salt and when I'm cookie up the hamburger I add some garlic salt and pepper. If you like your casserole more on the dry side you could just use 2 can's of soup...
