Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I have found at least ten recipes on the site I am going to try. Do you have a recipe for chocolate zucchini bread? --Sally
Hi Sally, So glad you are finding recipes to try! I’m afraid that I don’t have a chocolate zucchini bread, but I do have Chocolate Zucchini Cake – is that close enough? Or you could head over to our sister site, EasyEverydayCooking.com, and try the Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins there; it’s a similar recipe, but not as sweet. And if you still have some zucchini leftover from a bumper crop, browse my Zucchini page for more ways to use it all up!

    Hi Betty,

    I think you would be really good at making a big pan of homemade macaroni and cheese. I love the kind from the box on the stove, but I used to live at home with my parents, and my mom always made her homemade macaroni and cheese. So I need a recipe, because I don't have hers. Thanks.

    Betty: Can you please add the recipe for Nana’s Banana Bread to this site? I received it on a recipe card some years ago and would like to send it to some friends by E-mail. The recipe is a delicious one.

    Grandma, I am a grandma too, but I do have a question about sour cream in general. I really do not like it at all, not the taste, not the smell, or not in recipes. (Because I can usually taste it.) Is there a substitute ingredient that I can use that would give my finished dish a good outcome — or what are my options besides just giving up and pick another dish to make?

    Do you have any problems with the vegetarian, vegan ways of eating? I don’t see any meatless, dairyless, etc. recipes being your mainstay.
