Zucchini, mushrooms, tomato puree, and cheese – it’s a winning combination. This looked worth trying. I don’t know whose recipe this was, the recipe, like most, was in my mom’s handwriting, but she usually put a name on top.

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread
There is always debate in my house over what to put in the zucchini bread. Ali and I like raisins and nuts, Arielle and Emily like raisins, no nuts, Lauren likes nuts, no raisins. But today, Arielle – my official zucchini bread baker – is home and we decided to try a new approach –…
