Summertime! That means fresh vegetables! That also means an abundance of zucchini! Luckily this vegetable is one of our favorites. It is so versatile. You can steam it, bake it, roast it, grill it, fry it, use it in place of noodles, eat it raw in salads or with dip and bake with it! Our families love sweet breads such as banana bread and pumpkin bread. So zucchini bread fits right in.
I decided I would clean my regular recipe. I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour, reduced the sugar and added pineapple. I also decided to use organic cane sugar instead of regular white processed sugar as well as organic safflower oil. The result was delicious! No one noticed it was gluten free. Every crumb was eaten. We hope you enjoy this bread as much as we do!
(Always check all ingredients to assure they are gluten free)

Hi! This is Donna. I am a grandmother, mom, wife, and a teacher. I also love cookbooks, love to bake and really enjoy food! At age 56 I have developed a love of fitness after losing 46 pounds on the 21 Day Fix! I have always struggled with my weight! When menopause struck and things got totally out of control... My weight only went up not down. My muffin top turned into a bakery shelf. I desperately wanted to lose weight and improve my health. I wanted to be able to play and keep up with my beautiful grandchildren. Nothing I tried worked until I found the 21 Day Fix. Now instead of a tight size 16 I wear a comfortable 8 and even some 6's! At age 56 I am in the best shape of my life. My current goals are to improve my strength and to continue toning my body. I along with my daughter, Danielle, am here to help you reach your own fitness goals! You are never too young or old to become fitter, healthier, and stronger!
