Prize-Winnin' Zucchini Bread
"From a beautifully presented cookbook titled Southern to the Core received in Cookbook Swap 2011 from busyMom of 3. Must admit with this style of bread I like to spread some butter on the slices when I serve."

We really enjoyed this zucchini bread. It was moist and flavorful. We all thought that it was a bit too sugary (could just be our tastes), so I will decrease the amount of sugar next time. I love bread recipes that make two loaves. Thanks for posting! Made for Please Review My Recipe in the Cooking Games with Friends forum. -
Delicious! This quick and easy zucchini bread was devoured by my family. It was moist and flavorful without being overly sweet and was enjoyed warm from the oven topped with butter, as well as cold. I didn't use raisins because I didn't have any on hand. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!<br/>**Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game** -
A unique zucchini bread that a wonderful crunchy top and nice moist center! Have never had raisins in zucchini bread before but found them to be a fun and tasty change of pace. Thanks so much for the post. -
Pat my stepdad thanks you. I qamde this twice, once with nuts and once without. Another great reason to grow the never ending zuchinni in the garden. I also printed this out to make more bread now that I am back home for Dh and his huntng buddies. Excellent, moist, tasty, love the raisins, (never used thsoe before in the zuke bread) but will certainly do so more often.<br/>Thank you. Made for AUS/NZ Swap Oct 2011

***MADE FOR FALL 2011 PAC*** This was wonderful. I left out the raisins and the nuts only because I thought I had them on hand, and alas, I didn't. This is still very good. I whipped a little honey butter to go along with it. Thanks I'mPat for this great recipe.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
