Ellen's Lemon Zucchini Bread
This is the best lemon zucchini bread I've ever baked or tasted. The recipe came from a friend of my mom's. She kept raving about this bread she had made while visiting. After I had made it the first time, I could understand why. If I don't put this in the freezer right away, it is gone! Butter is really good on this bread if you aren't worried about the calories and fat.
