Zweet Zucchini Bread Recipe

We're a little sad that the summer squash season has come to an end. And although we can buy zucchinis all year round, there's just something special about in-season veggies. Zucchinis are great to cook with and we can attest to its versatility in savory recipes (we've even tried making pizza crust out of it just to try it), but it's also great to use in baking - the moisture, texture, and taste can't be beat. Give this zweet zucchini bread a try, and if you're up for the extra sweetness that a glaze can give it, we've added a recipe for a zucchini bread glaze that you can add on part, or all of your zweet zucchini bread.
