True to my word, this post is to fulfill my promise to Val Outmezquine, community producer at the Foodnetwork.ca site, after I was fortunate enough to win a copy of Anna Getty's book, "Easy Green Organic". I picked the zucchini and sweet potato bread with pumpkin seeds and dried cherries" as my project. However, don't go looking for the pumpkin seeds in my version, but do expect a few surprises as I stray from the original recipe.
