When looking for obscure holidays, we stumbled across National Zucchini Bread day! Zucchini bread is delicious breakfast food, and I remember working at a coffee shop when I was a teenager that has a serious zucchini bread cult-following. I decided to whip up some of my own for this holiday. I like to add chocolate chips or walnuts for extra texture, but that’s up to you! Continue reading
