Zucchini Bread from Starchy Argo

Dad's Zucchini Bread

 Starchy Argo

My dad has always been a wonderful griller, smoker, fish-fryer, but lately he's taking a hand at BAKING!  He sent us a loaf of his awesome Zucchini bread recently for holidays. It makes a great morning breakfast, shown here with my favorite tea Jasmine Phoenix Pearls Green Tea  from Elmwood Inn Fine Teas, my favorite brand for over 12 years now.

Thanks Dad....

Enjoy!
