Happy National Zucchini Bread Day!

With our long Alaska summer days, we can get some pretty big zucchini. And a lot of it. So, we are always looking for ways to use that zucchini. Luckily, if can freeze shredded zucchini, which makes it easier to use it all year long in zucchini bread!

I have a great recipe for zucchini bread below. Enjoy - it's healthy (kind of)!
