Baking with Vegetables and Alcohol

Baking kick numero dos: This time no one was leaving. This time there was zucchini on sale, and a pot luck to attend. And I was feeling adventurous.

First, a mish-mosh of veggies to create these delicious, Zucchini-Carrot-Apple-Coconut-Walnut-Cinnamin-Ginger-Nutmeg muffins. I love any sort of baked treat with zucchini, but this was a spin off of my favorite muffin back in Brunswick (Glorious Morning Muffins from the Bohemian Coffee House). Not quite the same perfection, but pretty damn good. AND I made a bunch, so I'm experimenting with FREEZING MY MUFFINS.



And then I had to run off to a potluck at a friend's. I had made my most delicious corn salad (corn-jalapeno-walnut-feta), but got greedy and decided to keep it for the week's lunch. Instead I created by moshing a few recipes together, these delicious chocolate rum cupcakes with cream cheese, lemon rum frosting.

Unfortunately, I had to take the green line over (UGH) and the B line was super slow. The cupcakes lost a little of their original beauty on the way, but still tasted yummy.
