Zucchini Bread

Make about two regular size loaves

Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (My husband is allergic to nutmeg so I doubled the cinnamon)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I used 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon since I didn't use any nutmeg)
3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup water
2 cups grated zucchini (I used about 2 zucchinis, peeled)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (My husband and I are not big fans of nuts in bread, so we didn't put any, but it still turned out fabulous! If you like nuts in bread, go ahead and pour them into the mixture.)

Direction:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Alternately, bake in 5 mini loaf pans for about 45 minutes.
