Jo’s Zucchini Bread

Jo’s Zucchini Bread
Christopher Mohs

This bread recipe has been a summer favorite since childhood. It’s a recipe that comes from my mom’s collection of recipes and comes to her from her good friend Joann. Jo is one of the moms – yes, I can claim to have MANY of them and I count myself lucky for that. The band of mothers that formed a village that raised a brood of kids that would go on to shake up the world around them.

But Jo is also probably the quietest and gentlest of the bunch and has been a rock of support through some very trying times. I think of this support often when I make this recipe and I make A LOT of zucchini bread throughout the year. But summer, summer is when it’s the best. That’s because if you are lucky enough to have a plot of garden space in the yard, you can plant your own zucchini and there is simply nothing better than freshly picked zucchini to shred up and fold into this incredibly easy batter.

I featured this dish in my recent article The Garden Party and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years.

Best,

Christopher Mohs Signature
