Something I will never be...

The winner of a spelling bee.

I've been spelling zucchini wrong my whole life and never knew until I was typing a recipe and spell check caught it.

I thought it was zuchinni

Then I tried zuccini

But alas, it's zucchini.

Either way the bread is YUMMY! Here's Pam's chocolate zucchini bread recipe...
Makes 1 9x13 cake or 2 9x5 loaves

Mix together
1/2 c. butter softened
1/2 c. applesauce
1 3/4 c. sugar

Add the following
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. low-fat sour or buttermilk (1T. lemon juice or vinegar and 1 cup milk, let sit 5 min. = 1 cup buttermilk)

Blend

Add and stir the following
2 1/2 c. flour
4 T. Cocoa
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cloves
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt

Then add
2 c. grated zucchini

Spoon in to greased baking pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 c. chocolate chips and 1/4 c. chopped nuts (if you want)

I haven't blogged or been on any blogs since I had the baby in July so please excuse all of my late comments. Congratulations on the adoption, sealing, and blessing. That is so wonderful. I got teary eyed looking at all of your pictures and reading the happenings. You've had so much going on in your family! Beckham is so handsome. He is a perfect addition to your family. AND Graham is funny.

You crack me up.

I wouldn't know how to spell it without spell-check either.
