I made 2 loaves and 2 muffins

from the same batch and zucchini bread recipe. I didn't get to taste anything, as I gave a loaf to my sister, a loaf to my friend, and a muffin each to my daughter and granddaughter. Everyone says it is good.

I told my other daughter I was using the recipe her husband hand wrote for me almost 30 years ago. I remember the first year or so they were married, he'd cook. He made them zucchini bread from the same recipe. She didn't remember that he did that. I sent her a picture of the recipe card and she is going to take a trip down memory lane with him

We didn't grow any zucchini this year, sadly. I used to make a chocolate zucchini cake that I also put dried figs into. Haven't had that in quite a while.

Now you've got me thinking about baking something since it won't be so hot here today.

It's always so moist & the only way I'd ever eat zucchini. Muffins are a great idea!

The recipe I use is a little different, but it comes out tasty.

My daughter is sending me a recipe for onion cheese zucchini bread-savory. I'm looking forward to trying that one

I love the bread, but have never had a recipe I trusted. Zucchini and pumpkin breads are favorites in my family. I think my daughter was hinting.

If Marthe doesn't have the photograph of the recipe, you could go to pinterest and type in zucchini bread recipe.

For a handwritten one, add "handwritten," like how I found the above.

Now, I really must stop thinking about zucchini bread and get to work!

so I'm processing what I can and what I have room for.

I"m going to make a very low carb blueberry almond flour zucchini bread for me. Which is why I didn't have any of the high-test stuff I made for give away Well, to be fair, I didn't sabotage anyone - my sister is recovering from spinal surgery, my friend doesn't need to worry about her weight, and my daughter and granddaughter eat healthy, which is why they got muffins lol
