Butternut Squash Quick Bread

Whether you like squash or not, you really should try this bread. You will be glad you did. It is similar to pumpkin bread, but so much better. It is very moist and flavorful. The recipe is from my mom. She used to make it years ago for the holidays and I still have fond memories.
