Chocozinni Muffins

  Using up zucchini in the summer is a gardener’s challenge and these muffins were perfect for the task.  Warning:  they are delicious but probably not very nutritious even with the added zucchini.  I am putting the leftovers in the freezer for a quick breakfast or late night snack.   Chocozinni Muffins 3 eggs 2 […]

The Groove

Clearly I fell out of my blog groove for posting.  We went to Disney soon after I wrote the last post. I thought I would come home and use some of the many Disney photos I took and match them up with some of the Disney cookbook recipes I have, and then make a blog […]
