Ordinarily, I would agree with my husband that zucchini is one of the yuckiest of all veggies; however, bake it into a sweet bread, and it transforms from yucky to yummy with no trace of its former sliminess. I love zucchini bread. Almost every year that I taught high school, some wonderful student would bring a mini loaf of zucchini bread as a holiday gift, and I often ate it before the day was over. Trust me, this treat can't go wrong!

Zucchini Bread: Makes 3 to 4 Mini-loaves
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups peeled and grated zucchini
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine eggs, oil, and zucchini in small bowl. Set aside. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Stir in egg mixture. Pour into 3 or 4 mini bread pans. Bake for 1 hour.
After the loaves have cooled, wrap them in colored plastic wrap and tie at the top with a red or green ribbon. Curl the ribbon using the edge of a pair of scissors. You can add gift tags, Christmas ornaments, or a cute charm by attaching it to the ribbon, or you can use colorful twist ties. If you prefer to avoid ribbons and plastic wrap, you can also purchase holiday sealable plastic treat bags.
