 Zucchini pudding with Joseph's dad We visited the school garden on Friday and picked 17 zucchinis...some as large as a cat! The students volunteered to take them home and turn them into something fabulous. Each student claimed that his or her mom or dad made the best zucchini bread, muffins, or whatever. And, thanks to our wonderful parents today we started feasting on all the treats that arrived. Yum! Yum! Yum! I guess the students were right...I ate some of the best zucchini bread and muffins I've ever had today. Tomorrow we'll continue our feast. Perhaps, you can share your recipes here.
