Yesterday, when Leeanne, Chip and I got together to work on the second edition of our textbook, Chip presented both Leeanne and me with homemade zucchini bread. When I got home last night, I made a cup of tea and sliced myself a piece of this bread. I still had a lot of Weight Watchers points left, and the one slice cost me 6 points. Let me tell you, it was well worth it. This recipe is delicious. She used Splenda in her version, but said it’s a little more moist with regular sugar. Either way, it’s a win-win, it’s so tasty.
When I asked Chip if she wouldn’t mind sharing her recipe that’s “in her head,” she agreed and sent it to me. Here’s a summer winner you won’t want to miss.
Thanks for sharing, Chip!
