G G's Zucchini Bread

Printable Recipe

Every summer my dad would plant a veggie garden in the back yard that would produce an abundance of veggies, and zucchini was one of them.  Though this recipe only uses a couple of zucchini's, its still worth making! My mom would triple up the recipe and freeze the bread so we would have some all winter.  This time I threw in a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. The fresher the zucchini, the moister your bread will come out!
