Zucchini coming out our ears...

My roommate Julie's dad gave us a couple of HUGE zucchini and I don't like to eat them unless they are in zucchini bread so it was time to make zucchini bread. My other roomie Jill and I grated one of the zucchini, have made three batches of bread/muffins and still have half of it grated in the fridge...we haven't even touched the other two yet! Anyway, these recipes are really good so I thought I would share.
