1/2 c butter, room temperature
2 c sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 T vanilla extract
2 c sifted all-purpose unbleached flour
1/3 c cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder

3 c coarsely grated zucchini or summer squash

Just don't expect me to be baking all this stuff this week!!
Mom was just here dropping off the kiddos, she had taken the oldest four kids to the VBS Carnival at their church this evening. She saw the pile of zucchini on my table and said, "Oh my!"
No, I didn't share. S'pose I could have...just didn't think of it.
