Everyone ate dinner...

...because we had Lucky Soup (aka cream of zucchini) and Chocolate Muffins. (No pictures, I'm not that kind of cook.)

Laine was on the computer in the afternoon, at NickJr, and the Holly Hobbie game she played ended with some printable recipes. She asked if we could print one and make it so we clicked through and found Chocolate Muffins. When she heard the word "muffin" she almost backed out but I explained that these were practically cupcakes so she decided to try. We made a batch and used the mini-muffin tin for baking. They are really more for dessert, but hey, if it helps Laine eat another bread product then I'm all for it.

I made Lucky Soup for the first time for our family a few weeks ago. I refused to tell the boys what was really in it because I knew that they'd be more reluctant to try if I told them zucchini. Green soup is made with luck, that all we would tell them. Last night Sommer pushed her bowl away, but then let me feed her when she saw everyone else eating happily. Cannon even had seconds. How could he not? Such a yummy recipe, even though I didn't have cream.

As Ridge was getting out of the car this morning I said my usual, "have a great day!" to which he replied, "it should be or that Lucky soup doesn't work."
