Didn't you mean Mrs. Greg that you spent an hour converting it all for our fine US neighbors (neighbours in Canada) to make it easy for them as a courtesy?

Zucchini Loaf

3 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. oil
3 c. flour
2 c. zucchini, grated, uncooked
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Mix all ingredients with electric mixer. Add:
1 c. pineapple, crushed, well drained
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. raisins, optional
Grease 2 loaf pans. Bake 325 degrees for 1 hour.

I made this recipe into 16 baby loaves and sold them at the market. Everyone who tried a sample bought some, with one woman winning the award by buying six of them. One night I was really tired, and baked up a batch forgetting to put the oil in. Guess what? They were still good! The zucchini and pineapple gave them enough moisture to make it work.

This is how I cook them at home. MMM good.....

Fried Zucchini

One or two small zucchinis
Four cloves of garlic, or to taste
One medium sized onion
Three small tomatoes
Italian or Greek seasoning, or chopped fresh basil and oregano
Parmesan cheese

Gently cook onion and garlic in a frying pan with margarine until softened, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add zucchini slices and fry over medium heat until zucchini is tender and golden on both sides. Season to taste with either Greek or Italian seasoning, or if you prefer you may use any mixture of fresh or dried herbs. Add coarsely chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Now take the pan from the stove and let it sit covered for five minutes until the tomatoes are heated through and the cheese is slightly melted.
