What to do when your neighbor gives you a zucchini then make zucchini bread
Growing up we had a huge garden and we raised everything under the sun. Each year my brother and I prayed the parents would forget to plant a zucchini. Zucchini are very prolific and rather than throw them out, my mother put them in everything ranging from soup to salad to chocolate chip cookies. For the record, there are very few things that a stringy, soggy zucchini is good for with the exception of Zucchini Bread.
Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.
