Bread and Honey

I have been making a lot of bread lately. Yesterday I made two loaves of egg bread (for a certain special occasion coming up) and today I made two loaves of my standard "white wheat bread" (sorta white, sorta whole wheat) and two loaves of chocolate zucchini bread. This last bread should be interesting because it is an experiment with honey... I found an article here about how to substitute honey for sugar. I have tried it in oatmeal cookies and they were amazing. So far I find my regular bread doesn't rise as nicely when I take out all the sugar so I only sub half of it. But today I took all the sugar (2 cups for 2 loaves) out of the recipe and used 1 1/3 cup honey instead. Honey, zucchini, and chocolate sound like a good combination... I just have to wait another 32 minutes to find out.
On a similar subject, Jacob has started calling Daniel "Honey Honey." So cute.
