Michael's Mom gave him a slice of zucchini bread to bring home the other day along with a zucchini from her garden. After eating the zucchini bread, I really wanted to make my own. I found this great recipe and it was absolutely delicious! It tasted just like my Mom's recipe, which come to find out it's almost identical to her recipe! Even Michael liked it and he hates zucchini. This recipe comes together in just a few minutes and it makes 2 loaves. I froze one to have as a treat sometime this Fall or Winter.
