Zucchini Bread

I've been spoiled with wonderful, simple bread recipes. Here's one from Ida Cross.

Beat 3 eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1 3/4 cup sugar; beat until blended.

Stir in:

• 1 cup salad oil


• 3 t vanilla


• 2 cup grated, unpeeled raw zucchini


• 2 T grated orange rind

Sift dry ingredients:

• 3 cups sifted flour


• 1 t salt


• 1 t soda


• 1/4 t baking powder


• 2 t cinnamon

Stir into egg mixture and 1/2 cup chopped nuts. (The ingredients said nuts or raisins, and I picked raisins.) Turn into greased loaf pans. Bake at 325 for 50-70 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and cool on rack. Chill before slicing.

Well, it's too late for that! The bread is good even though I cooked it too long.
