Plyeck! Spit! Spit!
I hate zucchini; it's something you plant in the spring and spend all summer trying to kill.
The only reason I plant it in the garden is because I LOVE Anne's zucchini bread. Wish she'd stop cooking/serving it other ways.
Since this is the time of year when nobody dares to leave their car windows down if their neighbor is growing zucchini in his/her garden...
BTW, being the great chef and connoisseur of zucchini bread that I am, I taught her how to work out the recipe, and I am her consultant. I have had lots of zucchini bread, but hers truly is the best I've ever tasted.
Okay, would you at least believe that I help her get rid of every morsel?

This was very good even my daughter loved it and she hates vegetables lol
Just want to say thanks for all those wonderful sounding ideas of how to cook your tons of zucchinis...I have already shred and frozen a good deal plus we have had zucchini french fries cut like fries and cook bake or fry. My husband loves them egg and flour dipped then fried. Oh and he is picky and does not like most veggies

I made this bread early this morning and it really is good. My daughter who woke to the delicious aroma of this fresh from the oven said it was the best zucchini bread.
I compared it to other zucchini bread recipes I've tried or have waiting to try. The big difference is the amount of zucchini. 1 cup more than all the other recipes. I wasn't too sure of adding that much more, but glad I did as the recipe says.
Don't forget to try at least a few zucchini blossoms! Google for recipes to find one that you'll like, but what I've seen is stuffed with cheese (like ricotta & parm), then dipped in a beer batter and fried like tempura. You leave the stems on, so they have built-in handles!
