Lemon Zucchini Bread

Does anyone else love zucchini as much as I do?! It might be my favorite part of the summer!  We have some zucchini plants in our garden and I'm (im)patiently waiting for them to start producing my delicious zucchini.

While we wait, I thought I'd share a delicious recipe for Lemon Zucchini Bread.  The lemon in this zucchini bread makes it so refreshing and even more perfect for summer.

This recipe is also Freezer Friendly.  When you're don baking the Lemon Zucchini Bread, allow to cool completely to room temperature.  Then wrap and store in the freezer until you're ready to use.
