80--- Zucchini and Heirloom Tomato Salsa


Are you growing zucchini in your garden this year? Are you starting to regret it yet?  If you have any experience with these delightful fast-growing vegetables, you know what I mean.

Last week I was gifted with several zucchini squashes from various patients.  I have a feeling that I wasn't the only person receiving those gifts.  

How many loaves of zucchini bread can you make and eat in one summer?  Use this recipe and your answer will be one less!
