My thoughts:
Another week, another zucchini bread recipe. I wanted to try my hand at a more savory zucchini bread than is typicaly made. I made this using heirloom Black Beauty zucchini from my garden. It has a whiter flesh and darker skin than more common zucchini varieties. It is very tasty and maintains a good flavor when baked. It also leaves pretty dark green flecks in the bread. Which I enjoy, of course, if you want a more pure white bread, just peel the zucchini before grating.
Sounds like a nice recipe!
