Yummy,
Good job Nancy - last year I was on a zucchini roll but haven't remembered this year. This looks wonderful - you are such an outstanding pastry chef.
With the chocolate chips, pecans and zucchini, this must really taste out of this world good!!
I will have to remember this as our zucchini is just beginning to produce. This would be a tasty break from stir fry.
Nancy: I just saw this recipe:

When I was a kid, we had this at church potlucks, in big giant sheet cakes!
Looks absolutely delicious, Nancy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to try it.
Do you people have a facebook fan page? I searched for one on facebook or twitter but could not discover one, I'd really like to become a fan!
I've always wanted to try one of these out...maybe will this weekend, looks yummy!
