Super Easy Zucchini Slice

Our stomachs were rumbling.


Traffic was at a standstill on the Pacific Highway.


There was an Esky, and it contained:

• One bottle of water;
• One ice brick;
• One apricot muesli bar; and
• Pete's bag of beef jerky ( erk!)

It wasn't looking good.

I started thinking about good travel friendly foods that could be packed for road trips or picnics. Anyone who has travelled North on the Pacific Hwy in NSW knows that there isn't much in the way of healthy food available. The Pacific Highway is littered with fast food chains which can be ok for the odd snack but travel for 10-12 hours and you soon get sick of them!

On our way back to Sydney, we got stuck in the worst holiday traffic and I was craving some decent filling food.One thing stood out, Zucchini Slice. My family has been cooking this delectable slice forever so I though that this was the perfect opportunity to introduce you all to the recipe.


There are many different recipes out there for this and having tried a few variations, I much prefer this one. It is super easy, tastes great and is a fantastic standby being able to be eaten hot or cold.
