    Do you have some sort of plan when you head out to do grocery shopping?

    I like to think I do but a lot of the time i find myself distracted and end up buying things "I'd like to try" ($13 bags of Iranian fairy floss anyone?...ahem).

    Other times I just buy too much of something and have to think of ingenious methods to use it up.

    I really despise wasting food.

    So there I was fighting my way through the crowded market stocking up on zucchini like there was going to be some sort of zucchini famine!

    What was I thinking?

    After featuring it as a "bridesmaid" side dish to a veal cutlet and rosemary potato "wedding" there was still plenty to feed a Greek army!

    Thinking cap on I decided to make some zucchini bread.

    I still don't know why these creations are referred to as a bread when in reality they are more like cakes or sweet muffins. No complaints from me though!

    The end result was super moist zucchini bread and one I hope to repeat again.

    I baked the zucchini bread in a baker's bread tin and threw in the last of my walnuts I had spare from my karydopita.

    It was the perfect snack at breakfast time...lightly toasted and smeared with good quality Danish butter.

    Next time I over do it on zucchini and make this bread, I'll omit the sugar and add some Parmesan for sharpness and some good quality bacon and end up with a different zucchini bread recipe.
