Lemon Zucchini Bread

Anyone you has every grown zucchini knows that it grows like a weed and that there is more than enough to go around an entire neighborhood.  Hands down, my favorite thing with zucchini is either zucchini bread or zucchini carrot muffins.  So, I am always on the watch for new recipes to try with my zucchini. 
This recipe is so GOOOOOOD....it combines a lemon bread and zucchini bread into Lemon Zucchini Bread.  It may not be a combination that one would think "normal" but it was so yummy, and I am happy to have another zucchini usage.

Here is what you need:
2 Cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Oil
2/3 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon (I personally am going to use 2 next time, BUT I LOVE lemon)
1 Cup grated zucchini

1) Blend together eggs, oil, sugar, buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.  Then add zucchini and mix well.
2) Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt.  Mix until blended but do not over mix.
3) Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes and then on wire rack.
4) Make glaze and drizzle over top (optional).

Lemon Glaze
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
Juice of 1 Lemon
