This is my first post, so I was trying it out with my favorite receipe of all time!! It IS a healty receipe, because you get all the great chocolate flavor from the cocoa powder, without a lot of junk in it. The zucchini (which you can't taste in the bread) adds a moistness you won't believe. And, the kids love it!!

You're officially a blogger now, welcome to the club! :)
I think I'll give this a try this weekend and let you know how we liked it!
I have been looking for a good zucchini bread recipe. I can't wait to try it!
Warning, warning....this bread is so good you'll be tempted to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (I also used egg beaters in place of the eggs to cut down on the fat)
