This was definitely something she made during my childhood in the 70's. My grandparents had a garden that Uncle Dave said could feed a third world nation. They produced tons of zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. Our neighbors mostly loved getting the bounty from our garden, but sometimes the zucchini was overwhelming. So Nana was quick to give the zucchini bread craze a whirl. It was another tasty way to have the green wonder. And yes, we all felt so virtuous eating it. Weren't we the pictures of health?Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278385202778793465.post-56942701218832971052016-06-28T15:23:21.078-07:002016-06-28T15:23:21.078-07:00They did!

My favorite is the chocolate zucchini cake from Epicurious (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chocolate-zucchini-cake-907). It is definitely not a healthy breakfast choice!

And even though I'm a 70s kid, I didn't know about zucchini bread until the 80s, 'cos in the 70s, I grew up in NYC. No one I knew was growing zucchinis in their flower box gardens! But my favorite way to eat this is warm w/ butter on it. To me, this is like eating a flat muffin, which are acceptable for breakfast. (and BTW...I also got to eat cake for breakfast the day after my birthday!)Julie Ann Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514231355379885144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278385202778793465.post-56898945149209818672016-06-26T08:33:17.979-07:002016-06-26T08:33:17.979-07:00Agreed!

In exchange I'd usually bake something with them and send them back to her. I experimented with a lot of different recipes, but I don't think I ever skipping peeling them - now I'm regretting that I didn't!jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.com
