Make a round loaf Zucchini Bread for breakfast, brunch or snacks. This easy coffee can bread is made from an easy zucchini nut bread recipe.
My Aunt Betty was the most gracious loveliest little lady, I have ever met. I always think the best way to describe her was to say she just sparkled. The light always reflected off herjewelryand her little eyes always had a special twinkle. When I first met her (she really wasn’t related by blood to me), she had an awesome little shop where she rented prom dresses, wedding dresses, and all the groomsmen attire. It was the sweetest little shop that wasliterallystuffed with the most amazing clothing that would turn anyone into a princess or a prince. And she would flitter around and it was obvious that she loved dressing everyone up, she always attended the senior prom and every wedding to take pictures of all her little princess and princes.

Yes, she even dressed my son for his senior prom even though we lived so far away. Everyone loved Aunt Betty, in fact, while I was visiting her little shop one day, a fisherman arrived with a huge fish in the trunk of his car so she could take a picture. She was just as excited to take that fish picture as any of the lovely brides that arrived in her shop.
I was so very lucky that she was in love with my favorite Uncle. They had been childhood sweethearts but had gone their separate ways for all those years. And after their children were grown and they lost their spouses, they both returned to the little town they grew up where they met again. They never married each other nor lived together but dated and had ever so much fun together for many, many years. Aunt Betty still had the little valentine my Uncle gave her in the 1st grade.
We lost our sweet Aunt Betty just a few months after my Mother passed away but lovely memories of her still live in my heart. I was fortunate to have known her and to be one of those people in her life.
