Happy Zucchini season!
You may have noticed that we have a lot of zucchini recipes . . . it seems to be that the only thing I am able to successfully grow in my garden are zucchini!
This has been one of my favorite recipes to date- it’s pretty much delicious zucchini bread with thick frosting on top. And it’s amazing. 🙂
