muffin man

I'm a few weeks behind......working a full-time and a part-time job while chasing after two boys has kept me pretty busy :)  

We had a visit from Deb (mugga) and John a few weekends ago.....we hung out, went downtown, and went the to the Deadwood Jam and had a ton of fun.  We saw Styx perform and did some serious boogying down :)

  Deb brought us some produce from her garden, including zucchini.....which I didn't really know what to do with, but wanted to do something.  So I found this awesome recipe for dark chocolate zucchini bread and morphed it into mini muffins (since henry is our mini muffin loving man).  And they were delicious!  I think we made approximately 150 of them....seriously.  We shared them with coworkers, daycare teachers, dance teachers, and fam.  I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but I did like that you bake with whole wheat and yogurt, which is better for you.  And, of course, they're good for you because of the whole zucchini vegetable thing right?  Henry gobbled them up, and we really enjoyed baking them together.  Henry loves helping in the kitchen.  I wish I had taken more photos while we were baking...but you pretty much have your hands full when you are working with sugar, a mixer, and a toddler simultaneously.  If I could grow extra arms, then we would have some photos :)  I think his favorite part was taking all the wrappers off of the chocolate so I could chop them up, and he liked watching me grate the zucchini.
