"Because I love the taste of lemon and almonds together and a had a large zucchini to use up, I took a recipe from the Canada Bed & Breakfast Hosts and put my own twist on it."

This was a good bread, but a little dry. I added some extra lemon zest and used plain yogurt. I also skipped the topping, using some brown sugar only instead. I like the idea of almonds and lemon in a zucchini bread, but this was a bit dense--maybe my mistake since I used only one large bread pan since I didn't have small loaf pans, and it had to bake a bit longer. I used a recipe for 2/3 of the amount here, so maybe some conversion mistakes? A good overall recipe though. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

I started cooking when I was little. By 7, I was baking cookies and things, and as a teenager my "job" was to do the grocery shopping and cooking for our family of 5. I've always loved cooking and am a total foodie. To me, to eat is to live. To live is to eat. I believe in eating healthy, exercising, and living life to its fullest. In "real life" I'm a usability engineer. Cooking is one of the ways I like to express my creativity.<img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
