Tried and Liked: Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

These muffins actually come from a cake recipe, but I like muffins better!

Here's the original recipe:

Chocolate Zucchini Cake
(Adapted from Something Edible)
The usual suspects:

1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups grated zucchini, loosely packed
3/4 cup pecans roughly chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

The prep:
Preheat oven to 350º.
Cream butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy (stand mixer, hand mixer, elbow grease…) Add eggs and vanilla and continue beating/whisking until creamy. Add salt, baking soda, and cocoa; continue whisking until incorporated. Slowly add in flour in thirds, stirring after each addition until fully incorporated. Fold in the grated zucchini. Pour into a greased 9×13″ dish and top with brown sugar, pecans and chocolate chips. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake. Keeps nicely covered at room temp for a few days.
Eat up!

I did a few things differently, I obviously put them into a muffin pan instead, and because of that I had to make more topping. I didn't really measure the topping but I would probably do about half of the recipe of topping extra. (Wow I don't know how to say that right, I'm a little tired!) I also added walnuts to my topping and it was so good!

Fancy Sandwich Wraps

I used to work in Wal-mart's Deli, and at Quizno's. I loved both of those jobs, making sandwiches and stuff was fun. I can make an awesome sandwich, but today I made wraps. We made these at Wal-mart, they came in a pre-packaged deal that we put together and then sold. I'm not sure if they still sell them or what they call them there. They're really just wraps cut up into bite size pieces. They taste better that way, I don't know why.

Ingredients:
Tortillas
Lunch Meat
Dressing or Sauce
Sliced Cheese
Lettuce

The combination I used this time:
Roast Beef
Turkey
Zesty Italian Dressing
American Cheese
Iceberg Lettuce

Directions:
Put a drizzle of dressing going down the whole side of the tortilla. It usually spreads as you roll it. Look at the picture of my layout. I try to spread everything out evenly, so that each bite will taste just as delicious as the next. Cover your entire tortilla. Roll the tortilla towards the cheese and hold it tightly as you cut it. I usually just eat the ends after I cut them off, or set them aside to snack on later. I usually set the other rolls in the container I'm packing for lunch, or you can use toothpicks to hold them together on a plate. They are good for parties. They taste even better with really good meats and cheese, and interesting dressings.
