A friend of ours gave us a bunch of Zucchini’s from her garden recently. Didn’t want them to go to waste so I decided to make this old family recipe. I am not the biggest fan of Zucchini, not sure why though. It’s not like they have a strong flavor or anything. Maybe something happened as a kid… Regardless of my issues, this Zucchini Loaf is really good.
The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.
Since this recipe yields 2 good sized loaves, I usually make one without walnuts and raisins. This not only give your guests options, but it’s also convenient if one of your guests has a nut allergy or doesn’t like raisins.
