I gave in, and tried out a recipe for Zucchini Slice.

Its fucking awesome. Thank you Australia.

Um, for self rising flour if you don't have it on hand;

1 cup all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt. Blend well before using

There's a lot of variations out there. This was the one I used.

There is so much cooking and baking. Zucchini slice, Zucchini fritters and fetta aoli, and Anzac biscuits.

I made this delicious Zucchini slice today. It was pretty easy to make by following Julie Goodwins recipe. The only time-consuming thing about it was the preparation and cutting it all up but that might be because of just how inexperienced I am! 

I altered the recipe a little to make it gluten free. the only thing changed was instead of normal self-raising flour I put in gluten free self raising flour but I think that is pretty self- explanatory.

all you need is,

• 2 zucchini, grated • 1 large onion finely chopped • 3 rashers bacon finely chopped • 1 cup tasty cheese grated • 1 cup self-raising flour • ½ cup of oil • 5 eggs • salt/pepper

you then just combine them all into a bowl, mix well and put into a pre-greased tray. Cook it in the oven for 35 to 40 mins on 170 Degrees Celcius, or until the top is golden brown. Mine only needed 35 minutes.

When it comes to making meals, sometimes we just want something that we can throw together really quickly and easily, with little effort, that not only tastes great but is also good for our family. Those are a lot of boxes to tick, especially if you are a meal planner and want some mid week dinner ideas, but the great thing is, this zucchini slice ticks all those boxes easily.

It also works well…
