To be honest, I lean toward a savory zucchini bread more than the sweet version. Don’t get me wrong, I do love a Zucchini Lime Drizzle Cake, but the savory version slathered with butter and rich with cheese really get me. And this version is really easy to make with a lot of flavor pay off. It is dense in the best way, with slivers of zucchini throughout and little pops of … [Read more...] about Zucchini Cheddar Loaf
