Recipe: Zucchini Bread

This recipe for zucchini bread is from my Mother. She’s made these zucchini loaves for as long as I can remember. It’s quick and easy and delicious. If your family doesn’t completely devour it, it will last up to a week, just wrap it in foil. When my Mother has her bumper crop of zucchini she makes extra loaves to keep in the freezer. It’s a quick thaw to accompany coffee for unexpected company!
