Zucchini Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

If you are looking for a recipe to use up zucchini you just found the jackpot of easy desserts that taste gourmet.

These easy to make zucchini bars are the flavors of fall just before it sets in when you welcome cooler weather.

Growing up dad always had a garden and we couldn't wait for mom to make us these delicious zucchini bars.

These will always be a loved dessert and memory of dad, our garden and childhood favorite desserts.

Sometimes the simpliest desserts made with love can you bring you back in time to relive those precious moments and for me this is one of them.

Dad always like these dusted with powdered sugar so mom would do half with frosting and the other half with a sprinke of that white powdered sugar for him.
