zucchini bread - if you wait to pick zucchini from your garden as long as nicole, you'll make quite a few loaves from one zucchini

3 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
1 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
2 heaping c of grated zucchini
4 tsp vanilla extract
3 c flour
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c chopped walnuts

preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.  whisk eggs.  mix in vegetable oil, sugars, zucchini, and vanilla.  in another bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  fold egg mixture into dry ingredients until just incorporated.  fold in walnuts.  split batter between two loaf pans.  place in the oven until a toothpick can be inserted and pulled out clean or with little bread crumbs, about 45-60 minutes.  it will slice more easily if you wait to cool the loaves completely before cutting.

When my friend Nicole posted a picture of her adorable daughter holding a zucchini from their garden (and the zucchini is the size of her itty bitty's leg), I thought she was ready for this recipe.  Enjoy!  It is super tasty and moist!
