Hello, my friends!

My garden finally decided to quick slacking and start doing some growing in the last couple of weeks and I finally picked my first zucchini (today actually!). I know that may not excited some of you, but it makes me giddy just thinking about. And I’m hoping you’ll understand why by the end of this post.

Yes, I’m one of those people that actually appreciate a doorbell ditched zucchini once and a while. I’ve got 3 big honkers sitting on my counter staring me in the face right now thanks to a few neighbors whose gardens started producing 2 weeks ago.

Our garden is traditionally a bit behind. One reason being our neighbors trees that shade the garden from the early morning sun.

And the other day I noticed the grasshoppers are at it again and each day a few leaves have fallen prey to their hefty eating habits.

So Saturday I spent some time planning my battle attack on the pesky critters. I’ve got a few things to try. I don’t like to use a lot of pesticides in the garden, especially when it starts producing, but I think I found some more natural options. Normally we use the chickens as our biggest attacker, but this year we have prowling dogs around ready to love them too much (a.k.a. kill them accidentally). So that’s out. Any ideas would be welcome here, my friends!

So now that you heard my rant, let me go on about what I really wanted to talk about today, which is:

Why this double chocolate zucchini bread needs to become a part of your life ASAP

It really is the best.

If you like chocolate like I like chocolate, then it’s calling your name to be made. So moist. So chocolatey.

So much deliciousness.

I made this 3 or 4 days last week and each time I had it for breakfast.

And lunch.

And snack.

And maybe even snuck a bite or two after dinner.

And I was still looking for more the next day.

But somehow it had disappeared…thanks to others around who may have also discovered its deliciousness.

…so I had to make some more.

And that cycle was repeated several days in a row and probably will continue to be as long as I have zucchini around.

So now maybe you can understand why I plan to battle those grasshoppers with everything in me. Can you see me putting on my armor right now?

I must ensure that I have enough zucchini to make this double chocolate zucchini bread for the foreseeable future, my friends.

It really is so good.

I love that you can use honker zucchinis and there is no need to squeeze excess liquid out of them or anything. Just chuck them in with the wet ingredients and whisk away. No fuss necessary.

I don’t think there’d be any complaining from the neighbors if you decided to doorbell ditch this double chocolate zucchini bread instead of the honker zucchinis. Just saying.
