Zucchini Bread

With the dozens of zucchini (not exaggerating) we have harvested this year I have had to come up with a lot of zucchini recipes.  So get ready for a plethora of zucchini recipes  All of them have come from allrecipes.com - Love that site!  Links to original recipes are included.  I can't believe I haven't included this recipe before now.  I love it!  So easy, and tasty.  I follow it as is, although you could easily substitute whole wheat flour in there, or applesauce for the oil.  I usually omit the walnuts though.
