Peter's Grandma Jo holds an extra special place in my heart. Our family had the privilege to live with and care for Grandma for the final 3 years of her life. I'll never forget caring for Grandma on that final day of her life and sitting next to her as she took her last breaths. I still miss her terribly and not a day goes by that I don't think of her and smile.
Grandma and Grandpa were known for their gardening skills. Grandpa could grow tomatoes better than anyone I know and Grandma was known for her delicious zucchini bread. She made a TON if it! Here is Grandma's famous zucchini bread recipe that she had written in the back of her worn and delicate 1943 edition Joy of Cooking cookbook.

1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
