Zucchini Chocolate Chip Coconut Bread

Zucchini a bountiful crop. My son has a garden that is plentifully , he works at his regular job and in his garden, I guess he needs something to do . With his family of 3 children and his wonderful wife., he should be busy. But no, he still needs something extra to do. Brian gives me all the vegetables to cook . This means I am as busy as he is, oh well maybe he wants to keep me busy too. As a result, I have made many zucchini dishes, casseroles,fritters cornbread,stuffed,muffins,and cakes, this is just of few. With a few more recipes. I could become the queen of zucchini. Please send me ideas for this harvest it would help, I was thinking pickles what do you think!
