How to Make Zucchini Blondies

The garden is overflowing with fresh zucchini. The folks at your office won't take anymore zucchini even if you bribe them with fresh tomatoes. Brownies are one snack food almost everyone likes. I know there are folks that can't or won't eat chocolate so here is a Blondie recipe that will help with the excess zucchini. Perhaps if you put the link for this recipe on the basket of zucchini someone will take a few more zucchini. So don't forget if you are freezing grated zucchini put some in one cup portions so you too can make blondies this winter. Someone please put on a pot of Columbian Coffee. We all will roll up our sleeves, take off our rings, wash our hands and get baking.
