It looked like a great idea when I planted a whole package of zucchini seeds a couple months ago!  I think every seed grew and I am now drowning in zucchini!  I’ve shredded, fried, grated, and frozen as much as my family can take and still have them popping up everywhere.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

The Amish CookbookWho feels my pain? I look forward to this time of the year, but have to admit I have zucchinied my family to death:)

In my quest to find a new recipe and a clever way to include more zucchini in my families diet I came across this wonderful Chocolate Zucchini Bread recipe. I have been enjoying it all week with a cup of coffee for breakfast.

It’s not too sweet and makes for a perfect light breakfast. 

I found this recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks… The Amish Baking Cookbook
