Zucchini Bread with Pineapple and Cranberries


I had a giant zucchini and didn't know what to do with it.  So after reading quite a few recipes online and then asking some friends I mixed some stuff together and came up with something yummy.  It was a big hit and I even got my niece, Adrian, to make the second batch.
