This week I received a bunch of beautiful zucchinis in my CSA box. Zucchinis remind me of home--they were always overrunning the veggie gardens. I enjoyed trying to think of ways to use all of them. I was especially proud to manage to fit one into a dish that a certified zucchini hater (Mr. C) would eat, my gallo pinto!
After a series of restless nights with some awful dreams (including one where Max (see below, right) was terribly beat up), I really wanted to make some comforting food.
Well, long story short, I snuck some more zucchinis into Mr. C's diet and made a healthy-ish dessert bread that is really great AND comforting ..and vegan......and easy. :-)
I might have put some dark chocolate chips in Mr. C's to make it more appealing to the veggie hater.
Hope everyone's dreams are better than mine have been!

I was at the grocers yesterday and seen some beautiful looking zucchini's of course they are local grown but still I had to buy a few. Did some up on the bbq last night just in garlic and butter, yum, but now I have some left over to try in your bread recipe. Thanks so much for sharing and look forward to serving to my unsuspecting family, haha, healthy they are not, but they will be.
It does pack quite a few great ingredients into a really delicious tasting package. :-)
Would you believe I've never tried zucchini bread? I think it's time. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I had never tried making it before either! This recipe was great, it was spicy enough for me (not really a sweet dessert person), but sweet and dessert-y enough for the veggie/healthy hater in my life. :-)
