Coopting a Classic

I'm bored. Actually I'm stuck trying to come up with tasty fall recipes for an upcoming cookbook compilation on www.Examiner.com. I've posted a few articles there lately. I'm stumped because growing up in Jersey, I don't remember fall weekends to see the changing of the leaves or to the local farms to pick apples for cider or apple sauce. Not knowing such fun as a child, I don't think I suffered...much. But know I'm older and like these little jaunts - something my cousins whom I'm quite close to don't get.
Not discouraged, I'm turning my thoughts toward maybe a dish that my friend Shirley makes. I remember when I first saw Shirley make her zucchini bread, I was appalled at her addition of carrots, raisins, nuts and sometimes, even chocolate chips. (I'm allergic to chocolate, so no choco nibs for me.)
Truth be told, Shirley's zucchini bread is different, but not unpalatable. So if Shirley can coopt a classic, then I'm sure I can too.
