This makes 2 loaves. *Tell your kids it's "Cake" and they will love it! (Don't mention the word "zucchini", that tends to freak them out.)

2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained

Combine dry ingredients and nuts. Set aside. Beat eggs; add sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy. Stir in zucchini and pineapple. Add dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans.

Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Squash Casserole

(I love squash! My Aunt Becky gave me this recipe a few years ago. I usually like squash cooked in a little water with salt, pepper, and onion, but this recipe is really good when you want a little something different.)

8 small yellow squash, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
1 small carrot, grated
1 stick butter
1 box Stove top stuffing mix (cornbread variety)
1 can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom soup)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Simmer squash slightly, and drain. Melt butter, and saute onion and carrot for 5 minutes. Add stuffing mix to butter mixture and blend until moist. Remove from heat. (Do not use seasoning packet from stuffing box) Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover the bottom with half of the stuffing mixture. Layer all of the squash. Salt and pepper. In a bowl, blend soup and sour cream. Spread over squash. Sprinkle with cheese and then the other half of the stuffing mixture.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

I got this recipe from my mom in 1994.

1 can crescent rolls
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Sauce:
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup grated Velveeta Cheese
1 soup can of milk
1/2 cup sour cream
Heat until cheese melts.

Open can of crescent rolls and separate. Should be 8 rolls. Stuff the chopped chicken into each roll and roll up. Place in a 9 x 13 greased casserole dish. Sprinkle any left over chicken in between rolls. Pour sauce over top. Sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
