My Kid's Favorite Zucchini Bread
This zucchini bread recipe is delicious and moist — it's a great way to use up all the zucchini your garden produces. Shred the zucchini first, and let it sit in a colander to drain while putting the other ingredients together. I use very large zucchini from my garden and cut out all the seeds. Use any leftover shredded zucchini to make fritters.
