Blogging 'Bout Brownies

Obviously I have decided to start a blog. And since I spend at least half of my waking hours in my kitchen, my blog shall be based there. I will probably even make most of my posts from the kitchen!
So why the name? If you haven't seen my kitchen or have forgotten... it is blue. Barely blue walls and ceiling, blue countertops, blue backsplash, blue door, and even a blue high chair.
My plan is to let you in on some of my adventures that take place in the kitchen. We eat, cook, and play in there so I should have lots of good stories. For instance, this week I tried a new recipe: Zucchini Brownies! Jeff and Jacob have been thoroughly enjoying my "cake" but I haven't mentioned that there are vegetables in them! Trying to eat healthy when you have a sweet tooth is kind of hard, but I cut back the sugar and the chocolate chips in the icing by half and it still tastes really great!  I found it strange that there were no eggs in the recipe, so I wasn't expecting it to turn out. I sort of assumed I had copied it down wrong. Jeff got this recipe from a parishioner and I don't know who it was. But if you have some zucchini lying around and don't like it (which I don't), try this recipe.
