When life hands you lemons....

or in this case Calabacita squash. Make calabacita bread. Long story short....There was a mix up when ordering Angel Food this month. There were two different types of fruit and veggie boxes. Well when G-ma ordered ours she ordered a Latin flavor frut and veggie box. Simple mistake really. Only bad thing. What the heck am I going to do with clabacita squash, cahote squash, jalepeno peppers, and key limes? We are certainly going to be trying some new dishes this month.

First on our list of new things, Calabacita bread. This is sort of like zucchini bread. Very moist with a nice flavor.

Calabacita Bread

3 eggs
1 cup oil (I used canola)
2 cups sugar
2 cups grated calabacita squash (I use all four from my box)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup nuts, chopped (I used walnuts)
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder

Preheat oven to 325. Stir together flour, salt, soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

Beat eggs and sugar until light and foamy. Add oil, grated calabacita and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour mixture and stir only until blended. Add in chopped nuts.

Pour batter into 2 loaf pans which have been brushed with oil.

Bake about an hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.
