Zucchini Bread

I have read this is the year of the zucchini. I guess the weather was perfect for zucchini to thrive and everyone that grew some has a ton. Our CSA farm share has given us 4-5 zucchini and yellow squash each week. Now we know why.

Verdict: The nice thing about this bread is that it is not overly sweet. We put butter on it to eat while it was warm. Yummy! Then after it cooled down a smear of cream cheese was delicious on it.
