Zucchini Bread

This is something I make around Halloween every year--it's the perfect fall time recipe. The recipe makes 2 loaves so it's perfect for sharing.

Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup water
2 cups grated zucchini
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar.
-In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice.
-Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in.
-Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean.
