Sushi Rice
One Cup of white rice made with 2 1/2 cups water. Cook like normal.
In another pan stir together and heat
1/3 cup rice vinegar
(this batch I used 1/2 rice and 1/2 apple cider vinegar)
1/3 granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
Pour over rice, mixing and let cool.
Then in the sushi was seasoned egg, red pepper, and some cucumber.
Zucchini Brownies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soad
1 teaspoons salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
Ingredients:
6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup butter
2 cups confectioner sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Fold in the zucchini. Spread evenly into a prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring bakc when gently touched. To make the rosting, melt together the 6 Tablespoons of cocoa and butter; Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, blend together the confectioners sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
I have to say the frosting is AMAZING but make sure to follow the directions or it doesn't turn out quiet right and isn't as good.
