Loving this show!!!

You all know I am a music addict; and I love this show. Curt even likes it, which is rare, because he's not much of a TV person! If you want to watch this song performed, you can find it at Hulu and it's from the first episode around the 43 minute mark. LOVE IT!!!

This is for you, my Chik-Fil-A Lovin' Friend.

Zucchini Bread!!!

I have finally found a zucchini bread recipe that I love!

(The kids love it, too)

This morning as I was "getting ready for the day",

I heard silence... dead silence.

Now, if you have a two year old, you know this means only one thing:

T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

I found Hayden sitting on the couch with 1/2 my loaf of zucchini bread.

He had taken it out of the bag and cut it with a butter knife.

(AND he ate it all, too!)

Here's the recipe:

6 eggs

1-2 cup sugar

1 T. vanilla extract

3 shredded granny apples, cored-unpeeled

3 shredded zucchini, unpeeled

6 c. flour

(if you use all-wheat, add 1 tbsp vinegar)

2 t. baking soda

1 t. baking powder

2 t. salt

1 t. pumpkin pie spice

2 t. cinnamon

2/3 package of Mini Chocolate Chips

Mix together eggs, sugar, vanilla,  (and vinegar). 

Add zucchini and apples.  Mix well.

Sift in 3 c. flour. Mix it up!

In another bowl:

Blend remaining flour, baking powder and soda, salt, spices.

Sift this mixture into zucchini/apples.

Add in Chocolate Chips.

Pour into muffin tins (Bake 35 min)

or into loaf pans (Bake for 55 min-turning after 30 min).

Let cool before slicing or you'll get chocolate all over.

Just one can change the world.

I think people should be more free with their hugs.

I live the "hug" lifestyle.

I believe that just one can change a "rainy, grumbly day" into a cozy one where you want to stay home and snuggle with someone.

I believe that even the most angry person can change to a warm, friendly one with just one hug.

I believe that my children will have a better day, no... LIFE, if I hug them everyday.

I believe that the human touch is the most important thing that you can ever give another person, or living thing.

I believe that the act of someone opening their arms to you can change your life for the better.

I KNOW that hugs have changed my life. I give them to others as a gift to myself.
