I noticed that several years ago, someone on your site also requested this recipe, and I wondered if you were ever able to find it? Thanks so very much! Candy San Diego, California Hi Candy, Well, I found out that this recipe is in a cookbook called ""The National Food Lover’s Cookbook" (NFL) - “A Superstar collection of recipes from celebrated personalities of the National Football League” compiled by Ruth Arnold-Kenefick, Carolyn Reichow and Dottie Dekko and published in 1980. The recipe was in this book because Vince Costello was a middle linebacker for the Cleveland Browns in the 1950s - 1960s, beside being the owner of Costello’s Greenhouse Restaurant in Kansas City. Once I knew this, I resolved to obtain the recipe by hook or by crook. Luckily, I was able to get it more by hook than by crook. See below: Phaed Vince Costello’s Greenhouse Zucchini Bread From: "The National Food Lover’s Cookbook(NFL)"      3 eggs 2 cups sugar 1 cup oil 2 zucchini, chopped 2-1/2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped nuts Cream eggs, sugar, oil and sifted dry ingredients Stir in zucchini, add raisins and nuts and stir again. Bake in two greased and floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pans and bake at 325° F for 1 hour. -------------------------------------- Wow, thank you SO SO MUCH!!!! You're a research genius!!!
