My name is Tremina Lockett. I was born in 

Chicago, Illinois. Zucchini bread is a very 

important and delicious dessert in my family. 

This serves as an important dish because my 

family has been making it for several years all 

the way back to my great grandparents. It is also 

important because we have a family cookbook and 

every generation passes down the cookbook so that 

we can have all of the family recipes. We also make it 

every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Zucchini bread has been in my family for 

generations. We began to make when my great 

grandparents got tired of making the same thing 

every holiday. They decided to try something different 

and try a new recipe. They tried zucchini bread and it 

turned out to be really good. Over time they continued 

to make it and perfected the recipe to where they could 

even put their own spin on it and teach it to their 

children so that the recipe could be passed on.

The history of zucchini bread is unknown but is 

rumored to have come from a line of European sweet 

vegetable puddings that dates back to the Middle 

Ages. Compared to carrot cake, it was considered an 

alternative to a "healthier dessert" made from leftover 

vegetables. It is said that it became popular in the 

1960's because of it's great taste and ability to be 

frozen and thawed. Zucchini bread also has a national 

day; April 25.

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs, beaten

1/3 cup water

2 cups grated zucchini

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions:

~ Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, 

combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and 

sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, 

zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, 

add nuts and fold in. Bake in a loaf pan, sprayed with
