What a great way to use the garden zucchini this season. This bread is adored by all. I omitted the nuts the second time I made it. Great with or without!

I was a little worried about using orange peel in this recipe because my kids are a bit picky about mixing certain flavors together buit it turned out great & they all loved it. I used dried orange peel that I ground up, milk cocolate chips, & cashews.
