I never have any of this left. It disappears faster than the time it takes to make it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Oh gosh, yummy is right when describing this zucchini bread. It's super moist with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg throughout. We opted to use pecans and dried cranberries. So good! They added a crunchy texture with sweet and tart bits in every bite.
