I love chocolate, I have never been a huge zucchini bread fan, but this could change my mind. I cannot wait to bake it. Could you shread the zucchini in a food processor?
Yes, you could definately use your food processor. If you have a shredding disk I would recommend using that but if you do not just cut the zucchini into strips and drop them in that way.
Yum, I bet Jesse would love this zucchini bread. Great first post!
I love your new blog, it’s so cute! I just made this bread yesterday and it turned out wonderful. I will be posting it on my blog soon.
My grandma just gave me a HUGE zucchini from her garden, so now I’m on the hunt for recipes. I might have to try yours!
This cake looks scrumptious. A friend made something simmilar recently and I was a bit apprehensive hearing about it. Now seeing a recipe and picture of it I am much more tempted to make it. Sounds delicious!
