I owe you an apology. For years I've avoided you like the plague because, I mean, Zucchini, eww. But, now I know how wrong I was.
After finishing nearly two full loaves of you this week (before you get all judgey, they were small loaves, people) I realize that I am the one who has been missing out.
Your cinnamony, home baked goodness is nothing like your cousin, mushy gushy baked zucchini that I was forced to eat as a child. You are delicious. You are a treat.
Whether eaten alongside my morning coffee, snacked on mid-day for a little pick-me-up or served warmed and smothered in butter for dessert, you never disappoint. I am so thankful that not only are there two more loaves of you in the freezer but I have several more zucchini in the fridge. And now that I know how delicious you are I would never, ever dream of using those little guys for anything other than bread.
Again, I am heartily sorry for having misjudged and underestimated your yummosity in the past. Rest assured it is not a mistake I will make again.
