Is everyone overrun in your garden yet with zucchini? It seems to be a plant that no matter how little you plant the yield is huge. My aunt happened to have one that got out of control in her garden so I took it off her hands and baked 4 loaves of bread. Using the overgrown ones for bread is a great way to use it up, it’s also good in cakes and cookies but today bread was on the menu. I’m sharing with you my Moms recipe that she has used forever. I’m sure it’s very similar to most but this one is delicious and has very few ingredients of which you will have in your pantry. I love recipes that don’t require a trip to the store for some strange ingredient I have never heard of much less figure out in what department it would be stocked.
I baked the bread late last night and couldn’t resist the smell as it was cooking. There’s nothing better than warm delicious bread right out of the oven. My family likes it smothered in butter but I have always liked it just as it is. Give this recipe a try you will add it to your favorite list for sure.

Looks delicious. My zucchini did not produce much at all this year, haven’t figured out why … wrong location, too wet a start, too cool in the early spring, or some other reason. But there are lots available at the Farmers market.
Linda that is unheard, it’s normally the opposite and zucchini overtakes the garden. My girlfriend had to self pollinate hers this year the bees weren’t doing their job.
Yum Dawn. I just got some zucchini from the farmers market and was going to look on pinterest for a recipe but nope you did that for me thank you!!!!! Looks so yummy and easy.
