Three zucchini from my garden so far, and more, more, more on the way. Oh, YES! I can just TASTE the zucchini bread. I think I'll start with this recipe for the Zucchini Bars from Betty Crocker. I may have to alter the frosting, though. It absolutely MUST have cream cheese in it! Amy over at Angry Chicken found this link with a staggering number of zucchini recipes.
