Back when we used to grow a garden we always had lots of zucchini squash this time of year. AND that meant only one thing. Honey would make zucchini bread. This summer time treat soon became one of Karlie's favorites. And since she doesn't have too many favorite foods we do like to oblige her when she does have something she enjoys to eat.
We have not had a garden in a while, and although there's zucchini in the grocery store it's just not as special as the homegrown kind.
The other day, someone sent us some from her garden.
and
Karlie got that look in her eye.
I went downstairs, and Honey looked up her recipe. Her recipe book is chock full of tried and true favorite recipes mostly written in her own hand.
So today, we made Honey's Zucchini bread because
her recipe is really the best in the land.
