a traveling Wife: All. The. Zucchinis.







All. The. Zucchinis.

Wednesday, July 8, 2015

Last week was a struggle to say the least. Each day dragged on longer than the one prior. I wrote about why it was so hard here.

Now I am back to regular eating and really don't care much to count macros this week. I tried to be spot on last week with eating protein, protein, and more protein - this week I just want to eat what feels right.

A and I made a trip to a local Farmer's Market on Sunday and bought so much produce. It was a little ridiculous because we couldn't even find a place to store all the food once we got home. I mean, who really needs a huge bowl full of zucchini anyway?! Apparently, this girl.

I was brainstorming up some different ways to cook the zucchini. We made zucchini stew and zucchini fries and used a mere four zucchinis. Now I had to come up with some other ways to use those things... Zucchini muffins!!

I browsed around Pinterest for a bit and found a recipe that looked worth trying - no added sugar besides dark chocolate chips. I substituted some of the flour with Kodiak Protein Power Cakes mix and added a banana.

They were pretty darn tasty and made an exact 12 muffins. Of course, I still have a ton of zucchinis left and want to try and tweak the recipe a little more. Any interest in me sharing the recipe next week?

Have you used Kodiak mixes as a flour substitute? What else can be done with all of these zucchinis?

  1. I LOVE zucchinis and would love to hear the recipe! I've made zucchini bread before and really enjoyed it. One with no added sugar sounds really great! Have you tried zoodles? I have a spiralizer that we used to use more often and you just reminded me to bust it out. It's a good way to sorta feel like you're eating pasta, but not, and in the summer it's a nice raw dinner idea, especially if you have heaps of zucchinis lying around!

    1. YES!! I am posting the recipe on Wednesday. It's a good one I promise. Also, a spiralizer - that is one gadget I don't have. I should get one because everyone says they are amazing.

    1. They are soo good. But they would taste so much better if I actually grew them myself. Too bad I kill everything I touch. :)
