Oh, it is summer and the zucchini plant is going crazy! We are getting more than we can eat from our one plant. For those of you who don’t have a zucchini plant, remember to gracious accept the excess from your friends that do, so we don’t feel like we are wasting what we can’t eat! What you choose to do with them after you take them is your business. Here is a great recipe for zucchini bread to use up some of the extra. As always, it is best to use freshly ground flour for any baked good. You can use any combination of flour, but half whole wheat and half pastry flour will make the bread feel more like a muffin, very moist and sticky. It will be a bit more dry with all whole wheat flour, but still good.
