When neighbors give your household of two about 10 zucchini then make zucchini bread! Kinda like lemons, right?
I made tons of zucchini muffins for the house and even took some to my folks’ house as well.
Next year my husband and I are going to have a garden. Squash and zucchini are on the list of things we will have in the garden. There will more zucchini bread in the future, don’t you worry about that.
I have saved some cut up and peeled pears from our tree but they are still frozen an I haven’t gotten brave enough to try pear bread which I heard is amazing.
If you have never had zucchini bread then realize that it is a sweet bread and tastes similar to pumpkin bread (my recipe anyway).
What? You want my recipe? Of course you do.
