chocolate zucchini bread
For twenty years this has been called chocolate bikini bread in my house. When my grandson was little, he thought we were saying bikini when we’d say zucchini; he was only 2 or 3 yrs. old and I doubt he knew what a bikini or a zucchini was back then...anyhow, it’s what he called it and we all still do today. It will be a good recipe and a good story to pass along to his future wife.
