Spray 9 x 5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended and fold in zucchini. Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chips. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling. Large Batch moist and marvelous zucchini bread with Chai essence Ingredients:3 cups grated unpeeled zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring and pack zucchini firmly into measuring cups)3 cups sugar1-1/2 cups vegetable oil – I used canola4 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla3-1/4 cups all purpose flour1 teaspoon cinnamon2-3 teaspoons dry Chai tea blend – 2 will give a mild taste; 3 a more robust taste2 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1-1/4 cups chopped nuts – optional – I used toasted pecans InstructionsPreheat oven to 350.Spray 2 large loaf or 3 regular loaf pans.Mix zucchini, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.Combine flour, cinnamon, Chai blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nuts together. Add to zucchini mixture and blend well.Pour into prepared pans. Bake on middle rack 45 minutes to one hour or until done. A toothpick inserted deep into center will come out clean. My 2 large loaf pans took 55 minutes to bake. Tips:Ball bat sized zucchini works great If you grow zucchini, you know it can go from slender to ball bat size seemingly overnight. Overgrown zucchini has good flavor and shreds up just fine. Can you peel zucchini? I don’t, but Cheryl Bullis, a professional baker from Clermont County, does peel her zucchini before measuring. Squeeze hard to get moisture out. Zucchini is notorious for a high moisture content which can make batter too runny. Add nuts to dry ingredients; This insures that the nuts stay suspended throughout the bread and prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. ***** Full list of guestsSupport the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Add oil to your liking, starting with 1 tablespoon, then add salt and pepper.Thicker is better for the tenderloins. You can always add more oil later for regular pesto. Pesto stuffed pork tenderloin two waysMy friend, Mary Lee Olinger, an Anderson Township reader, shared the first recipe a while back. It has a delicious culinary history, starting with Mary Lee’s friend, Mary Ann Myers. Ingredients for each recipe1 pork tenderloin, about 2 pounds, trimmedPesto Garnish for each recipeRomano & or Parmesan cheese – gratedPine nuts (optional) InstructionsPreheat oven to 350 for both methods. Method #1: filling the tenderloinLay tenderloin on cutting board. Starting from the top, cut meat vertically not quite all the way through. What you want is a nice “trough” to fill.Spread tenderloin open a bit, then spoon pesto until it fills (and overflows a bit) cavity.Place, cut side up, in sprayed baking pan.Tie roast in three places to keep it together. Sprinkle cheese and nuts over roast. Method #2: filling the tenderloinLay tenderloin on cutting board. Starting on thinner end, take a sharp knife and slice horizontally almost all the way through. It will open up like a book. Pound out evenly.Spread pesto to within an inch of edges. Fold over the 2 short edges a little bit. This helps seal the roulade. Roll up, starting at long end. Place, seam side down, on sprayed baking pan. Smear some pesto on top. Roasting for bothBake until done (145 degrees) – in my oven it took 20-30 minutes. Don’t over cook this lean cut of meat, or it will be dry.Rest about 10 minutes, tented. Temperature will rise several degrees.Slice thickly, then sprinkle with cheese and nuts if you like. ***** Information on the new Stanley Rother documentary, American Martyr, can be found at rotherdoc.com.

On this episode of the Son Rise Morning Show, Fr. Frank Donio of the Catholic Apostolate Center continues a mini-series on Evangelii Gaudium, exploring the communal and societal dimensions of evangelization. Drawing on Pope Leo's recent consistory homily and his new encyclical, Fr. Frank unpacks why the Church's mission has never been just about private belief — proclaiming the Gospel has always meant standing for human dignity, from the unborn to the elderly to the voiceless in society. The discussion traces this thread through history, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the collapse of communism under Pope St. John Paul II, showing how the Church's witness has repeatedly outlasted regimes that sought to silence it. Fr. Frank also addresses a common misconception — that faith and public life should stay separate — arguing instead that authentic evangelization always shapes society, while the real boundary is keeping the state out of the Church, not the Church out of the world.

She will explore why mental health advocacy is a justice issue, how communities of faith and color are uniquely impacted, and what each of us can do to show up with more compassion, awareness, and action for those who often go unseen and unheard.
