Ellen's Lemon Zucchini Bread image

This is THE BEST lemon zucchini bread I've ever baked or tasted. The recipe came from a friend of my mom's. She kept raving about this bread that she had made while she was visiting. After I made it the first time I can understand why. If I don't put this in the freezer right away, it is gone!!! Butter is really good on this bread if you aren't worried about the calories, fat, etc.

I'm a huge fan of lemon zucchini bread, and this recipe was no exception. The bread was moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I added a bit of extra lemon zest to the batter, which gave it an even brighter flavor. Wil
