Zucchini Bread

• 3 eggs

• 1 cup nuts
• 1 tsp. salt

Beat eggs till foamy, add oil, sugar, & vanilla. Sift dry ingredients, stir, then add nuts & zucchini. I also like to add some chocolate chips, however many I think it needs. Stir, then pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake @ 350 for 1 hour, (stick a toothpick in to make sure its done)
