They are now part of Christmas treat tray every year and the holiday just wouldn't be the same without them! Sometimes, I add white chocolate chips as well, just for a little … [Read more...]

We are still working our way through our Autumn bounty, can you believe it? I decided to play around with an apple/zucchini combo to kill two birds with one stone and came up with this yummy Apple Zucchini Bread. It's not an overly sweet bread, so my boys who expect chocolate chips in even their banana bread weren't big fans, but it's a nice fall bread that would go well with a cup of coffee, tea or cider! The recipe makes two loaves, which I like, because I just wrap one up to freeze for … [Read more...]

Marinated Carrots are the perfect holiday dinner time-saver because you can make these a day or two ahead.

These delicious Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins start out a lot like my Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, because this recipe actually came first! After I played around with it and got this recipe to where I loved it, I decided to modify it for a more chocolatey version, because you can never have too much chocolate right? I think so! If you love these, you'll love the double chocolate version and vice versa! Go ahead and give both of them a try, especially if you have a … [Read more...]
