Good to hear that the boy appreciates family recipes. Personally, I was never a big fan of Mom's zucchini bread but maybe I will give the muffins a try - can't get them to eat that particular green veggie any other way in my house.
Meg-
I'm glad your muffins were a great success. I love Zucchini bread. My favorite recipe uses vegetable oil instead of butter, but I may have to try the butter. (Barrett has a daily butter requirement you know). It also replaces the cinnamon with a couple teaspoons of lemon zest which I highly recommend.
Of note, Barrett bought his first bread pan soon after we met so I could make him Pumpkin bread. (We now have eight full-sized bread pans, but they come in handy).
Bets, I remember having baby zucchini baked with Parmesan at one family holiday a few years ago - they were fantastic! I am SOOOO sorry to be missing Thanksgiving this year if you are hosting!
Rebecca, the recipe actually called for oil but I only had a tiny amount so I substituted the butter. The funny thing is that I always feel like butter must be healthier, when in fact the sunflower oil is much better for your cholesterol...!
Hi Meg et al,

Love to all, Turkey at our place in Nov. Bets
