Cindy' S Best Zucchini Bread
"Wonderful moist flavor that just lingers on your tongue. This is by far one of the best zucchini bread recipes I ever tried. I used a clay baker to make these loaves, but regular loaf pans work well. They freeze well too. You could use egg substitute to lower the fat ever more."

Tasty bread, very moist. I just tried this because I was intriuged by the cream cheese. However, the cream cheese flavor is a bit overpowering. If I make this again, I will definitely reduce the amount of cream cheese by half.
