Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bar Recipe

There’s always what he actually said to the customer he delivered to and what he wanted to say. But when he retells the story it’s sometimes hard to tell what he actually said because he’s telling it in the version of what he wished he could say!

In the same day he delivered to two different women, both who he compared me to! The way he described his experiences had us laughing hysterically!

The first lady he delivered to ordered a huge pallet of stuff. He put it where she asked him to, then she asks, “Do you know who puts it in the house?” I can only imagine the look on his face! He explained that the contractor is responsible for doing that – which she didn’t seem to have. What he wanted to say was, “You can’t just sit at your keyboard and order a bunch of stuff to remodel your house because it looks nice without having a plan!”

This is the point where he started explaining to our son that women get ‘great ideas’ and the men just have to go with it. HA!

ME AGAIN!

Oh my goodness, we had such great belly laughs out of his stories – mostly at my cost! I told him it’s a good thing he’s been well trained in compliance over the years from dealing with me!

If you have buckets of zucchini to use up, then make sure you try making these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bars! You could also try making some of my other favorites – Blueberry Zucchini Cake , Cinnamon Zucchini Cake , Zucchini Brownies , and Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread !
