It’s officially fall, and we are so excited! Fall is my favorite time of year. The crunchy leaves, beautiful colors, pumpkin spice everything, and the end of the gardens…it’s all so cozy. If you’re like me, you may have had a zucchini sitting on your counter for a few weeks. I get it! Sometimes, we are just not sure what to do with one more of these squash. Haha! I’m here to help you out.
A family favorite around here is my homemade zucchini bread. The freshly grated zucchini combined with the cinnamon makes the whole house smell delicious. Our kids love to dunk it in a cup of milk, making it an excellent breakfast treat. While it’s not the healthiest recipe, I only make this in the fall. Every once in a while we need a treat, right?
