MOM'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• In mixer, beat together all ingredients except zucchini, nuts, and flour. In grating the lemon peel, I find it much faster & easier to just use the small side of a standard cheese grater than to use a lemon zester. The peel from about half a medium-sized lemon should do fine.
• Mix well, then add in nuts and grated zucchini. Slowly mix in flour.
• Bake in greased 9" X 5" loaf pan, at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes (until test knife comes out clean or top of loaf springs back when pressed with finger; do not overbake).
