It's a BAKING kind of day...

As many of my friends know, I bake when I'm stressed or bored.  Today I am both - I hate having sickness in the house.  Makes me crazy.  So today, we baked some YUMMY Lemon Zucchini Muffins.  They are SOOOO good with that hint of lemon.  I thought I would share the process (and recipe) will all of my followers :)....

To start - preheat your oven at 325...

This is Mr. Smiley.  He consists of 2 eggs, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 cup oil, and 1 1/2 cups of sugar.  Doesn't he look happy.... if he only knew what was ahead....

This is Mr Smiley mixed up... bummer eh?  He now has 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp baking powder mixed in... don't forget the lemon zest (usually the zest of one whole lemon...)...

Here we have our 3 cups of grated zucchini - SUCH a mess!  I always find it on the floor... the walls... everywhere when we're done with this step...

Mix, mix, mix... but don't forget the 3 cups of flour!  This is MUCH easier to add at the end... otherwise it's hard to get the lumps out.  We hate lumps...

You can either make muffins (mini-muffins for Reese's lunch in our case today) or 2 bread loaves.  Don't forget to grease your pans... at let the bread bake for around 45 minutes.  Muffins take less time - I'd check them after 10 minutes... but it usually takes longer...

The finished product... YUMMY!!  Jake has been BEGGING all day for them... I guess it does have some vegetable in it... maybe I should let him eat more! 

That was the excitement for our day.  HOPEFULLY Ian will be back to school tomorrow... he NEEDS to be for MY sanity!!  I also got 2 walls of Jake's room painted... but I'm not sharing pics of that until the project is finished!!!
