LEMONY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD



Lemony Summer Squash Bread image

Yum! This quick bread tastes just like lemon. No one would ever guess that it's made from a yellow squash. In fact, the yellow ribbons inside could easily be mistaken for zest. The squash gives the bread a moist texture and it bakes to a lovely golden brown. Try with a little lemon icing drizzle for a delicious dessert. A...

BLUEBERRY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD



Blueberry Summer Squash Bread image

I started this bread because I needed to bake something to bring as a gift to someone's house and quickly found that my ingredients were limited to a few summertime fruits and veggies and not much else. As such, I improvised and changed a few things around from a zucchini bread recipe and created this healthy, hearty, summertime bread. It has a slightly different flavor than zucchini bread but the same moist consistency and sweet, summery taste and smell. Note: it is not very sweet and does taste 'healthy', so it's probably not a big hit for kids unless chocolate chips are added.
