MMM...MAMA! : CHOCOLATE CARROT ZUCCHINI MUFFINS EDITION.

the farmer's market was really good to us. so i had to come up with some ways to put the three big zucchinis i got to good use. chocolate carrot zucchini muffins. enough said. i have never made these before today, but they were delish. definitely saving this recipe. it was quite fun cooking with a toddler. a little bit more stressful than the average muffin cooking session, but a lot more exciting. i pretty much let rorie in on everything i was doing and there was a lot of little hands in the mixing bowls. so, these may not be the cleanest muffins, but they were made with love and she really had a good time. we will definitely be cooking more together in the future.

the recipe can be found here.
