The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I too loved these bars. Mine were cake-like in consistency but moist. Not necessarily a pick up and eat bar as they were so moist they stuck to my fingers, which I had the pleasure to lick off. Actually better the second day. I did have to increase the cooking time to about 23 minutes. I will make these again.

WOW what a zucchini bar Best is the word. I made these for Thanksgiving We always have zucchini bread but i wanted something different. I had so many I shared with the neighbors. They shared with their families and now everyone wants the recipe. Thanks they were great and I will make them every year as a new tradition. Thanks Again Cam
These were very good !!! I did change the 1 cup oil and used 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup peanut oil..Also instead of 3/4 cup of oatmeal I used 1/2 cup oats,1/2 cup coconut and still added some roasted chopped walnut and pecans...they really don't even NEED the frosting, but it is hard for me to resist so...
