Nectarine Quick Bread

This Sunday morning, I was volunteering at a new Wildlife Center. This is exactly the kind of stuff I love to do. However, I couldn't do it. I couldn't stay more than four hours. Reason you ask. Well, the animals who lived there were awesome and adorable. The people even were kind of nice. Honestly, I felt like I was on an episode of Hoarders, and I needed to leave...immediately. 

So, I spent the rest of the day napping and making this Nectarine Quick Bread.

Last night, my nectarines that were all recently purchased went extremely ripe...and lets face it, they are just messy to eat, and I'm not going to be the girl with dribbles on her shirt. Instead, I decided to make this sweet and tangy quick bread.
