Recipes from Ollie J -- Zucchini Bread

I didn't include this recipe last year ... because I automatically skipped it due to the main ingredient -- the loathesome squash ... the evil Zucchini. I strongly strongly dislike zucchini. On the I HATE 'EM scale of skip-'em 'srooms to the loathe-and-gag bananas, the green squash close to the banana end of things.

However, it is one of the recipes in Grandma's box that I hadn't tried and that actually had all the ingredients and instructions. Distributed to the right office and hungry colleagues? I think they'll be appreciated.
