ZUCCHINI Season!

If you are blessed with an abundance of zucchini from your own garden or know a friend who is blessed and trying to share with anyone who will take some, this is a great recipe. :) It combines zucchini and chocolate, and it uses 2 cups of shredded zucchini in each batch, producing 2 loaves that will go fast and be loved when given. This also freezes well to have on hand for spontaneous hospitality. ENJOY!
