Double Chocolate Zucchini Loaf

It's harvest time and the zucchini's are here. I have a huge one and decided to make this loaf. Although it required 2 cups of shredded zucchini, it hardly made a dent in it. More zucchini recipes will be on the way lol. This is a very decadent loaf. I reduced the amount of sugar and replaced the oil with half oil and half unsweetened applesauce. I also used unsweetened chocolate chunks. This recipe is of the many great recipes from Ricardo's Cuisine magazine. 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour 1/4 cup of cocoa powder 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. of baking soda 3/4 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of vegetable oil 1 egg 2 cups of grated zucchini 4 oz. of dark chocolate, chopped In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. In a larger bowl, whisk together sugar, oil and egg until smooth. Using a spatula, stir in zucchini and dry ingredients. Set aside 2 tbsp. of the chopped chocolate for the topping and add the remaining to the batter.

Papayas

Papayas are a rich source of Beta-Carotene, Vitamin A, Vitamin C as well as Fiber. They aid in digestion making you feel less full. Read here for the full benefits of Papayas. Papayas The chewable papaya tablets are great to bring along on vacations when you know you'll be over indulging on different yummy foods.

Celery Lemon Juice

I love celery and it's health benefits but sometimes I just don't feel like munching on it. Making a juice with it is a quick and simple way of enjoying it. You can add anything to it for taste. For this particular one I used 2 stalks of celery, one lemon, a handful of spinach and a handful of strawberries with a bit of water. Just add all to a blender. Other variations are adding an orange, chives, raspberries, etc. Anything goes! It's great in the morning and as a pick-me-up in the afternoons.
