Zucchini Bread

Well, today the kids were a little under the weather with stuffy/runny noses and simply a little "off their rockers" as I like to put it and so it was yet another stay inside, take it easy, lazy day!  While Cameron played with his cars and Audrey took a little snooze I begin a marathon baking session.  The goal: make as many loaves of zucchini bread as I could!  Cameron soon joined me and we were off!  This time around, however, we froze the bread for later and Cameron kept his little fingers off "Mommy's Bread"!!  

My goal was reached too!  We made 6 loaves of bread and they all made it to the freezer except for one loaf for which we all had to try warm and fresh from the oven!  

For all of you that have asked for this yummy recipe, ENJOY!
