yellow squash bread

I found this recipe a few years ago and i have used it a lot. It has been a hit any and everywhere ive takin it. Its a little differant than zuccini bread and if ur just wanting to use up all those yellow squash u have laying around ur garden.. u have to give this a try. My family loves it and it smells so good baking in the oven. as a matter of fact, I have one in my oven right now!!
Yellow squash bread

3eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup oil

1 tbs. vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups coarsely grated yellow squash

1 cup pecans

preheat oven 350` degrees. grease 2 bread pans, i make a mix of sugar and cin to dust on the bottom of pans.

beat eggs in a large bowl. add sugar, oil, and vanilla to eggs. sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder and add to egg mixture. Fold in squash and nuts and stir until just mixed. Pour into loaf pans filling half full. sprinkle top with a cinnamon/sugar mix. Bake for appr. 40 to 55 min.. after 40 min i check it and then again until its done. I dont know why but I never can get a perfect time for it. I guess its from the moisture from the squash. after its cooled, slice and eat.. Its realy, realy good and im sure u will add it to ur recipe book!! may God bless you!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy Jo
