If you utter the words
Zucchini Bread at my house, you'll start a stampede reminiscent of those old Westerns in the movies. My children will come running down the stairs so fast, you'd think I said "Here's the latest IPhone!".
Even I have to admit, zucchini bread is delicious. I mean like, addictive delicious. Like, is there crack in this bread, delicious. I originally made it as a way to sneak in vegetables in the diet of my bambinas, but it has become a family favorite. I found my recipe at
