Carrot-Zucchini Bread

I’m a big fan of carrot cake and zucchini bread, so I came up with this recipe that combines the two. It’s a tasty way to eat your veggies! :) Topping this moist, flavorful bread with a yummy cream cheese frosting just seemed like the right thing to do, and I decided I might as well add some chopped walnuts as a finishing touch. I was happy with how it turned out…I think the cream cheese frosting really adds to it, but if you’re watching your calories, it’s good without the frosting, too. This recipe makes 2 loaves.
