I bought some zucchini at the store a week or so ago, and never figured out what I wanted to do with it. Since I was having company over today, I wanted to have something a little sweet, but not overly so. Zucchini bread entered my head, but then this recipe popped up on Pinterest and I figured it sounded good enough to try. I am glad I did! They turned out delicious! My children and I are not big pineapple fans, but the pineapple lent just enough sweetness without being overpowering. I may even add a little bit more next time!
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1&1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon salt
1&1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1&1/2 teaspoons baking soda
