Grams Made Zucchini Bread

This is one recipe I've been making since I was a new bride. I got the recipe from a co-worker with the unusual name of Yettave Zietlow. Grams especially likes this bread topped with a glaze, Grandad prefers it plain. Either way, it's really good.

3 eggs, beaten
2 ½ cups sugar
3 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup oil
2 cups zucchini, shredded
1 cup nuts
3 cups flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
½ cup raisins or dates (optional)

Beat eggs, add sugar, vanilla, oil and zucchini. Add all dry ingredients and mix well. Pour into two loaf pans. Bake at 350ยบ for one hour.
