Everything But....
Everything but taking down the Christmas decorations!
I really don't know WHAT
is wrong...
but you would think with a Level 3 going on outside
and wind chills at -41 degrees
brrrrrrrrrr
that I could have at LEAST
taken down
The Christmas Decorations today....but
no.
Instead I cleaned out the pantry
THAT was a job!
I did a little laundry, surfed the internet....
I did a LOT
of
surfing.
Then poked around in the freezer to figure out supper
and found the zucchini
that I
BRILLIANTLY
froze last summer.....
and decided to make this:
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
and yes, it is super delicious...
like a moist brownie on the bottom and a bit of a crunchy top...
oh yea....and it's CHOCOLATE.
What more could you ask for on a snow day??
If you happen to have some Zucchini in your freezer....
have a try ~ it's super easy & delish!
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour milk
(if you don't have sour milk....
just put 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in regular milk
and let it stand for 10 minutes!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
