3 cups plain flour
2 tsp. soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup pecans or walnuts
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup cooking oil
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
1 8oz. can crushed pineapple

Combine flour, soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nuts. Set aside. Beat eggs slightly. Add sugar, oil, and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Stir in zucchini and pineapple. Add dry ingredients. Stir only until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon batter into 2 well-greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 for one hour or until done. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.

(notes from Laurie: Makes two loaves and can be cut half. I might amp up the cinnamon a bit.)
