We planted zucchini again this year and as always......zucchini overload!! There was this particular zucchini that was hidden behind quite a few leaves. It's huuuuge!! Check out Jayden with his zucchini mustache!
Would you like to save this?

I've been looking for zucchini recipes so these don't go to waste. Our favorite way to eat zucchini is just to saute it till slightly charred, then add seasoning salt and garlic powder. Really tasty, but can get boring really quickly.
Today, I made zucchini bread. I figured that I would grate the whole thing, then freeze the rest for next time. I was able to grate 7 cups from this zucchini alone! I now have 6 bags of frozen grated zucchini. I would love to hear some feedback as to what I can make with them!
Anyways..here is my recipe for Pineapple Zucchini Bread with White Chocolate Chips and Macadamia Nuts....wow, that's a long name. This bread is super moist and delicious!! The aroma of baked pineapple is heavenly! I hope that you'll give this a try!

I too have a squash/zucchini garden! I LOVE to slice the zucc's 1/4 in or so. Dip in egg, then dip in a mixture of flour and seasoned breadcrumbs then pan fry in butter/oil. I can eat this everyday!
I've also made bread and either added cocoa powder or chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing your bread recipe!

Very good and very easy. I substituted 4 tablespoon s sour cream and 4 tablespoon s evaporated milk for the butter. Rduces calories a bit and I needed to use up those.

Can we substitute another nut for macadamia nuts
Char says
Hi Peg! Yes, you can also use walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds 🙂
