Blueberry Zucchini Bread

We have zucchini coming out of our ears. I have been trying to give them away, but I think all of the people we know who grow zucchini must walk into our house, and seeing the utter lack of zucchini on every single surface, must bless us with their bounty. Not that I'm complaining. I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't turn down anything from anyone's garden this year. This is why I have made pickles and relish until my whole house smells like vinegar, but I'm not complaining!

We froze a lot of blueberries this year, mostly to put in our yogurt, but I decided to make blueberry zucchini bread last night. Yum! This recipe is pretty high in fat, but it's oh, so good.
