When I moved away from home my mom gave me one thing - a Betty Crocker cookbook. It was the best gift my mom ever gave me. I could not cook to save my life but I could bake and that cookbook was my baking bible.
The chapters on breads and cookies are so worn that the pages fell out.
I have modified this recipe for zucchini bread over the years but I could not tell you for the life of me the last time I made it. And then my daughter's babysitter asked me to make it for her and she would give me the zucchini. She gave me a great big basket and I went to work.
I made seven loaves, eight mini loaves, and a pan of bars.
I am done baking until Christmas.
