I finally decided to make some zucchini bread since we had so much from our garden.
I loved making this because it made my house smell amazing, and was able to make several batches giving some to family, friends, and I was still able to freeze some for later.
If you have a large supply of zucchini to get rid of, this is a great recipe. I made several changes in order to make it a little “healthier,” and the outcome was delicious!

I love zucchini bread. I'll have to try this recipe out.
It was fun meeting you at Costco on Saturday. You're darling! Didn't realize that we live in the same county.
