This was an awesome recipe! I did double the nuts and chose pecans; they were delicious in the bread. For the glaze I put a small amount on top and left the rest in a tub so people could dab as much as they liked on their piece (I don't like as much, but my daughter likes a LOT!) I'm suprised this bread stayed around long enough to cool completely. It's that good! It has a mild orange flavor and you don't really notice the zucchini as a vegetable- it just adds to the moistness. Excellent recipe! Thanks, Lennie!

I just had a slice, slightly cooled and man oh man this is delicious. I am going to make and drizzle the glaze on later for the sugar-addicts in my family. Suggestion: mix the dry ingredients, including the grated orange rind, in a separate bowl; then combine them quickly with the "wet" bowl to get a lighter bread.
