This monkey likes his breakfast. 3 Egg Omelet (Spinach, Avocado, Chives, Cheese), 1 slice Walnut Zucchini Bread with Butter & 1 Black Plum with 1 cup of French Press Coffee |
I was given this recipe over a year ago, maybe closer to 2 years. I've wanted to make it for quite awhile now. 3 times I've purchased Zucchinis & 3 times those Zucchinis have languished in my vegetable crisper until they were only fit for my compost bin.
Finally the stars aligned just enough that I had Zucchinis and the time to make Walnut Zucchini Bread and boy have I been missing out because it was delicious! Anymonkey likes more than just Banana Bread for his dessert breakfast breads!
My friend's recipe is from her grandmother. A good rule of thumb: recipes from grandmas = goodness! |
