Nothing but Vegetables?

A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.

–Gertrude Stein

I haven't always been a veg freak.. Growing up I never strayed too far from corn and potatoes. But since becoming a Pescetarian 6 1/2 years ago, I had to teach myself not only to eat the veggies I feared growing up, but how to prepare and cook them. Which is where my deep appreciation of food, cooking, and baking began to blossom. So why bother becoming a veg in the first place, you're thinking to yourself? My reasoning is simple: I couldn't fathom why a living, breathing, mothering, emotion-feeling animal had to die in order for me to have lunch. Now, while I won't force my beliefs on those around me.. (ok, I try not to), I will on the other hand force my vegetable cooking on those around me.

You probably cringed, right? Zucchini bread? But anyone who loves a slice of carrot cake or spice cake, this is right up their alley. Except with summer squash. It was insanely good and devoured slice by slice for breakfast the whole week.

You'll find the recipe here. And please note it has 2,479 reviews with a 5 star rating and 74,000 people have saved the recipe. It's hard to dismiss the tried-and-true recipes. Why recreate the wheel, when there's already a fantastic zucchini bread recipe?
