Savory zucchini bread? I had never heard of that before. Then I looked for similar recipes online and found that there are a wide variety of savory zucchini breads with an assortment of vegetables, herbs and cheeses as ingredients.
This savory zucchini bread was filled with chives and cheddar cheese. This recipe did not have you squeeze the liquid out of the shredded zucchini, you just grate it directly into the bowl with the other ingredients. I sprinkled a bit of extra cheddar cheese and coarse salt on the top of the dough before baking the bread.
Soften some cream cheese and add some chopped chives for a spread, or buy it already prepared. Doesn’t that look good?
But the best way to eat this bread, in my opinion, is toasted with the chive cream cheese spread. Delicious with soups, salads, stir-frys – or just as a snack. Enjoy!

This summer I have been experimenting with different ways to bake with zucchini. I love traditional zucchini bread, but I have enjoyed trying a variety of zucchini baked goods – from Savory Zucchini Bread to Chocolate Zucchini Bread to these Blueberry Zucchini Muffins. The zucchini adds such a wonderful moist texture to all of these.
I followed the recipe below, except I did sprinkle a bit of course sugar on the top of the muffins before I baked them. I just love that bit of extra crunch on muffins.
Most baked goods with zucchini call for 1 cup of shredded zucchini. If you have extra zucchini, grate it, gently blot it with a paper towel. Place 1 cup of the shredded zucchini into a freezer bag and freeze. Then you can bake zucchini bread and muffins all year.
So good right out of the oven! The blueberries are so plump and delicious this year! So hard to resist a warm muffin!
But – with a tangy lemon glaze – they are even better! Add just enough lemon juice to the powdered sugar to make the glaze thick, but keep it spreadable. Let it drip down the sides. Just makes you want to grab one and eat it!
Be creative with your garden produce! This was a delicious experiment! The zucchini adds moisture, the blueberries add flavor and the lemon glaze is the perfect final touch. Enjoy!

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies may become your favorite summertime treat! They have soft centers and crisp edges – perfect texture and delicious flavor!
Look at all the goodies in these cookies – oatmeal, chocolate chips and zucchini. Add a few extra chocolate chips to the top of each cookie right after removing from the oven to make them extra pretty.
The ingredients that you can’t see also make these special – cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. You can imagine how wonderful your kitchen smells as these bake – just an extra enjoyment factor that these cookies offer.
Perfect to grab a stack and take outside to read under the shade – or to binge watch your favorite new shows. Enjoy!!! Have a Happy Day!!!
