Just in case you need something new to use up the end of your zucchini crop>>> Rich and decadent Zucchini Brownies!! These guys are loaded with chocolate flavor and packed with zucchini, but don’t worry you don’t taste the zucchini. It just keeps the brownies really moist!
So, I have been fighting a cold and have totally lost my voice!! First off who gets a cold in August!!! Isn’t that something you get in the winter time!! I mean it’s been 95+ degrees outside almost everyday!!
I haven’t been sick for a very long time so I can’t complain too much, but come on!!
Since I have no voice to keep anyone in line, my husband and kids have decided to take full advantage. I try to squeak out something and they play all the cards, “What was that mom?” “We don’t know what you are saying.” My son even asked me “Why are you talking so weird”
Oh, the torture!
So, to remedy this problem I need to make some more of these irresistible and insanely chocolate-y zucchini brownies! Surely, that will make my voice come back, right?? 😉
