Classic Zucchini Bread

You just can’t improve on Classic Zucchini Bread, so I won’t even try. This is the time honored, Grandma approved, moist, tender, fabulous zucchini bread you know and love…

Let’s be honest.

I’m not in love with zucchini. How about you?

They’re kind of tasteless and their texture leaves a lot to be desired.

No matter what you do, they always seem to cook up really mushy.

They do have one redeeming quality, though.

You can grate them up into little shreds

and make delicious zucchini bread.

This is a classic zucchini bread, no bells and whistles, just pure perfection.

Don’t forget the cream cheese.

Now it all makes sense..this is why people plant all that zucchini.
