Where I live now, people give away lemons and grapefruits out of their bounty. Where I grew up, there was an abundance of zucchini. This is one of the best ways to eat zucchini:

Recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

1/4 butter
1/2 c veg oil
1 1/2 c sugar (already cut back a bit from the orig recipe)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c buttermilk
2 1/2 c flour
1/4 c cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
2 c grated zucchini
1/2 c chocolate chips (since I cut back on the sugar!)

Cream together butter and sugar, then add oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk. Sift dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Mix in zucchini and chocolate chips. Bake in 2 greased loaf pans for 40-45 min at 325. Freezes well, but do so quickly or you’ll eat it all.
