I don’t have the world’s biggest garden, but we do have a backyard in the city (amazing!) and I can grow some herbs and veggies in it (double amazing!).

Because I start planting very early in the Spring, most of our herbs and veggies are in full bloom this early in June, especially zucchini. We get so much of it throughout the summer that I tend to stick it in just about anything.

Today, I’m putting it in our muffins and also dinner (Zucchini & Sausage Casserole). I love these muffins as a snack on-the-go because they use an entire zucchini up, they’re protein packed, they don’t use any unrefined sugars and have cocoa powder as the main source of chocolate (I know, I know, there are chocolate chips in here too, but the chocolatey flavor really comes from the cocoa).

Quick tip – if you mince the zucchini, you won’t even see the green specs. Neither will your kids. 🙂
