Zucchini Bread

I have some recipes that are becoming staples in my little household of mine. This Zucchini Bread recipe happens to be one of them. I got the recipe my senior year of college from one of my roommate's mom. During Hurricane Rita, her family came to stay with us, and with her family came 2 delicious loaves of this Zucchini bread. From the moment I first ate it, I knew that I had to have this recipe. After much begging, my roomie finally acquired this recipe for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. : )
