Research & Development

I've never had what I consider a 'great' recipe for Zucchini Bread.  A zucchini bread with great texture.  The bread must be moist and loaded with zucchini & nuts.  O' and with just the right amount of vanilla & cinnamon.  To that end - I've been 'auditioning' recipes for Zucchini Bread for the past few months.  

This recipe is the latest contender - baked last night.  We are half way through the first loaf and so far, it's checking most of the boxes.  Expanding the research, I'll deliver a loaf to my daughter's house tomorrow - to see if it passes the 'taste test' with the grandbabes.
