I’ve got an oh-so-yummy family-friendly recipe for you. And no, I didn’t sneak kale or anything weird in here!

chocolate zucchini bread with pistachios

I don’t do much baking in the summertime. But there’s always one thing that finds its way into my oven in July; that’s zucchini bread. This season I changed up tradition to create a chocolaty concoction. The result: it’s a keeper! Calories saved: 70 Why it’s better for you? Whole grains and cocoa!
