We just got back from visiting my Mom in Virginia before school starts. I love going back to visit. The mountains are so beautiful this time of year and seeing my family is always so much fun. When we are back in Virginia, we always make a point to see one of my Mom’s best friends, Mrs. Betty. She has been almost like a grandmother to me not to mention an amazing cook.
As a special treat, Mrs. Betty brought us her famous zucchini bread. It is seriously the BEST zucchini bread I have every had and she was kind enough to share the recipe with me. The bread is filled with spices, zucchini, and a special ingredient, a box of lemon pudding. There is also a light sugar glaze that tops the bread, oh it is so good.
This zucchini bread recipe is a keeper, you will definitely want to PIN this one.
