For a new twist on an old favorite…
try this Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
This is a surprisingly delicious combination! It is a super simple treat to make with your little ones and enjoy throughout the week.
My son helps me cook most days. He FREAKED out when he saw me put in the zucchini and told me he wasn’t going to eat it.
But then it smelled like fresh chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate was our saving grace and was the only reason he was willing to give it a try.
He absolutely LOVED it!
Thank you Miss Cori for the inspiration.
