Our Family's Zucchini Bread

I grew up with this bread.  My grandfather, Erving Morgan, was an avid gardener and grew some of the most beautiful zucchini you did ever see.  However, the family was inundated with this rather awkward produce (which technically is a fruit), hence the zucchini bread.  My grandmother would make many loaves at a time and freeze them.  Then, my mother made it, as well.  There was never a time when we didn't have zucchini bread in the freezer.

I was absolutely thrilled to find the recipe in my mom's recipe box.

I'm pretty excited to have this in my possession!
