Deadhead Zucchini Bread

    Thanks for reading Vegetarian Frugal Housewife!

I don’t know about you all out there but I absolutely LOVE zucchini bread. That’s one of my favorite things about autumn, all the zucchinis waiting for me to use them up.

There is just something so cool about turning a bright green veggie into a nice, moist, sweet bread.

I figure that Deadheads are also called hippies and the Green Party is consider to be the “hippie” party and since being “Green,” to me, is a sweet thing just like my bread, it isn’t so far-fetched to call this a Deadhead Bread.

Not that I am dead in the head, but there is something about the music of the Grateful Dead that brings a smile to my face and makes life seem just a little bit brighter.

The bread is kinda messy to make but all things worth having are worth working for, right?

This recipe makes two good-sized loaves or several smaller loaves.

Papa thinks I should call it zucchini “muffins” or zucchini “cake” because it is so darned yummy. I have been accused of this recipe originating from the Devil, because it turns even the kindest people into greedy, gluttonous beasts! But hey, the Dead said A Friend of the Devil is a Friend of Mine. ;)

I hope that you all like this bread a lot! Be angelic and share some with your loved ones!
