Zucchini Bread
This is a delicious quick bread. It is so fast and easy. I remember the first time I had zucchini in a dessert, it was in brownies. I was working a t a dental office, and one of the patients brought in a batch of wonderful homemade brownies. Her brownies were delicious and nutritious, and it started my love for all things dessert and zucchini. The zucchini makes the bread so moist and nutritious. I have started making moor and more of these quick breads for my family. They are great with eggs for breakfast, or as a quick afternoon snack. They are also great with ice cream as a delicious dessert in the evening.
