Zucchini Bread

I have to admit that there are some days when I have a lot of fun on Facebook. Since I spend so much time writing, I love to take quick breaks and see what the rest of the world is doing. All week, I've been loving fellow Amish author Beth Wiseman's photos of her trip to Maui. Just seeing her smiling face on the road to Hana makes me smile. She really is a great gal and is so deserving of a wonderful holiday!

Yesterday I was staring at some zucchini I bought and my stack of cookbooks, too. I ended up asking other FB friends what kind of zucchini bread they made. Oh, I got some great recipes, including a recipe for chocolate zucchini cake. Yum!

I ended up using a recipe I found from Katie Lee Joel's cookbook, The Comfort Table. (I think she's just Katie Lee now since she and Billy Joel got divorced!) Anyway, I decided on this recipe because it had pineapple in it, which sounded very good!

And it was! The whole house smelled of spices, that first slice was moist and warm and terrific, and we even all convinced ourselves that it was healthy, too.

So, here's a recipe for you in the middle of a very busy week. Maybe sometime soon you, too, will need a baking fix, and will find a lot of comfort in putting on an apron, grating zucchini, carefully measuring spices, and enjoying some homemade bread. : )

hope everyone has a wonderful day. : )
