SWEET POTATO LOAF
I enjoy making this bread because it lets me use sweet potatoes in something besides pie. I found the recipe in an old Southern cookbook, but changed a few things. The orange juice in the glaze adds a nice citrus flavor to the loves. -Ann Jovanovic Chicago, Illinois

Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium zucchinis that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchinis that are large or have blemishes or bruises.
- Grate the zucchini and sweet potato finely. This will help them to cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the loaf to hold its shape.
