Zucchini Bread with Sundried Tomatoes and Feta

Ever thought of making a savory zucchini bread? We didn't till we saw this recipe, from one of our favorite cooking blogs Closet Cooking. Though we did alter it from the origional recipe to accomadate the ingredients we had on hand, it was still scrumptious!
As you can see, we topped ours with a garlic hummus, cucumbers and more sundried tomatoes!
Give it a try, its sure to please!
