Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins


Summer is almost over and so is zucchini season.  I love baking with fruits and vegetables. It's one of my favorite ways to sneak in extra nutrition for my kids. The only way I can get my kids to eat vegetables for breakfast is by hiding them in muffins and breads. I especially love baking with zucchini because it doesn't have a strong flavor and it makes everything so moist and delicious. 

To boost these up a notch I decided to substitute Chobani Greek Yogurt for the oil in this recipe and the results were incredible. Greek yogurt is high in protein, low in fat and another way of making your baked goods a little more on the healthy side.

Lemon Ginger Shorbread Cookies


Tart lemons and sweet candied ginger are such a yummy combination anytime of the year, but lemons always say summer to me. So when I saw this Ginger & Lemon Peel White Chocolate candy bar from World Market I couldn't resist putting it into a recipe.

Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Parfait


Summer is here and that means all the more reason to bake with blueberries and lemons. You know what's even better then baking with blueberry and lemons?  Not baking with with blueberries and lemons. As in no-bake blueberry lemon cheesecake parfaits. I loooove no-bake desserts in the summer time.  They make me happy. There's nothing better than a quick cool dessert on a warm summer day. Because who really wants to turn the oven on the summer? Not this girl.
