GRANDMA'S ZUCCHINI BREAD
This is a family recipe that was taught to us by Grandma Betty. We always shredded the zucchini in the late summer and would freeze it for making this at Christmas time for the family. Grandma would make sure each family would get a loaf. I now carry that tradition by giving as Christmas presents to family and friends.
