Chocolate Chips

Zucchini Muffins

March 9, 2014 by Kay 5 Comments

I am always looking for new zucchini recipes and this recipe for Zucchini Muffins turned out to be a favorite of mine. I always like the idea of adding vegetables into my sweet breads, muffins and desserts.

I tend to always have zucchini on hand, either fresh during the summer months or I grate and freeze zucchini to use in other months through out the year.

Zucchini Muffins are sweet but not overly sweet and it has a great mix of spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. I also added in chocolate chips because I like adding chocolate into anything.

Here is a link to a recipe for Caramel Frosting if you feel the need to add an extra element to the muffins. I love them with and without the Caramel Frosting.

Cookie Dough Brownies

March 2, 2014 by Kay 6 Comments

Cookie Dough Brownies starts with a fudge brownie and then is topped with a cookie dough layer and to make them even better, another layer of chocolate.

As promised in my post for Chocolate Chip Brownies, here is the recipe for Cookie Dough Brownies. This is the perfect recipe to dress up a brownie, not that a brownie needs to be dressed up, but once in awhile it’s nice to have a more decadent brownie, and this is it. I have made these multiple times for bake sales and they are always a hit. So, the next time you make brownies, take the extra few minutes and make this recipe, you won’t be disappointed.
