More About This Recipe
- As silly holidays go, this one is a doozy. August 8 is National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day. This whimsical holiday was dreamed up by Tom and Ruth Roy, the silly-at-heart creators of National No Socks Day, Humbug Day, and Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. And while sneaking the veggies right onto the porch is certainly fine, wouldn’t it be great to “upgrade” the holiday spirit a little bit and offer up some loaves of this simple zucchini bread to your neighbors instead? When they taste the sweet, spice-redolent quick zucchini bread, they’ll be campaigning for more national holidays involving the beloved green squash. And if making this zucchini bread recipe has you ready to try more, you’ll find traditional favorites, quick-and-easy shortcuts and fun new twists in Betty’s Best Zucchini Recipe Collection.
