Recipe 3: Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread

We have had a few Zucchini from the garden, so it's getting to be time to make homemade Zucchini bread and all the yummy stuff you can make with garden produce :).

Some may cringe at the idea of "Zucchini bread", but it's absolutely delicious. It's basically just like Pumpkin bread. The recipe we use is a recipe that we have used for 10-15+ years. Originally it was a Pumpkin bread recipe, but we've used Zucchini with it a lot and it's always delicious.

Yesterday was the first time we had tried it Gluten-Free and it was fabulous. I think it was almost better than the "Gluten-filled" version of it! Partly because of the Sorghum flour we used in it. That flour (even the smallest amount) makes everything taste so good.
