Zucchini Bread

This recipe came from the Poulson family Delectable Collectables cookbook, submitted by Aunt Alma. I tweaked it just a bit. It was sooooo yummy and moist. The Boys and I have been devouring it every possible second. It made 4 loaves, so we still have some left over, even though we've been eating so much of it!

6 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups oil
3 cups grated zucchini
1 cup mashed banana
6 tsp. vanilla
6 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon*
1 1/2 tsp. nutmeg*
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2-3 cups chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, or a combination of these (I actually FORGOT to add chocolate chips -- I know, I can't believe it either -- but it still is irresistable.)

* You can adjust these according to your liking.

Beat eggs, sugars and add oil. Stir in grated zucchini and mashed banana. Add vanilla. Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, soda, and baking powder. Add to zucchini mixture. Add chocolate chips, raisins or nuts. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until done. (You can do straight zucchini if you want, by doing 4 cups zucchini and eliminating the banana.)
