Orange Zucchini Bread

I grew a ton of zucchini in the garden this last summer and I really enjoy baking with it. To extend zucchini season, I shredded a bunch of the vegetables and froze them in 2-3 c packages to use to bake with during the winter. I was looking for a different kind of zucchini bread recipe since I tend to make the typical bread recipe or zucchini bread with chocolate. Both are very good, but being me I like to try different things. I found this recipe which includes orange and coconut and decided to give it a try. It turned out great!
