This lemon zucchini bread recipe has wowed every person my mom made it for, and she has now passed this tried-and-true recipe to me with the same results. If you are tempted to skip the nutmeg, don't! It's the secret ingredient that makes this bread the best. This loaf won't last a day in your house, so it's best to double or triple the recipe to ensure everyone gets a slice. The loaf freezes well, but slice before freezing.
