FYI, peanut butter is EVIL!!

So here is a little story about me when I was baking peanut butter kiss cookies today:

I decided to do this recipe because it only had three ingredients: Sugar, eggs and peanut butter.
I made a much more difficult recipe earlier (okay, it wasn't too hard but harder than these peanut butter cookies!) and so I thought it would be nice to make another quick, easy batch of cookies (I say another because I made chocolate cookies before. Both recipes are coming soon!).
So I got out the ingredients and all of the measuring and mixing equipment and went to work. I managed to get through the sugar and the egg without any problems, but then came the dreaded peanut butter. Now, I don't really like peanut butter but I adore peanut butter cookies. So anyway, I filled up the measuring cup about half way and realized I had to open another jar of the evil brown stuff. So I got the jar and I was stirring the peanut butter around when I took the spoon out too fast and the jar tipped over and splattered peanut butter all over the left side of my body from the waist down.

Total. Grossness.

For some reason the peanut butter that we buy is a lot more liquid-y than others and so it was running down my leg and into my sock.
No,  did not get a picture.
No you did not want to see it.

So I changed clothes and finished the cookies. I didn't put a full cup of the you-know-what in them though. I had had enough of it.

I made chocolate zucchini muffins and went to a sleep over!

And I'm giving you guys the recipe! You've got to try it!

Here's the recipe:

2 1/3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 cups grated zucchini
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 chocolate chips


Combine all dry ingredients...........
In a separate bowl mix together eggs, oil, vanilla and zucchini;
then add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips..........
Pour into 24 muffin cups..........
 Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes............
Let them cool for about 20 minutes.......................
And enjoy!!
And I just had to throw in this photo:
This recipe was unbelievably easy and amazingly delicious!
Kate and my two friends came over as the muffins came out of the oven and they loved them! Luke and Mark's friend liked them too until he found out there was zucchini in it ;)
Later Kate and my friend and I went over to my other friend's house and had a sleep over! It was so fun! We jumped on her trampoline until about 8:30 and then played "would you rather", a game that is sort of like truth or dare without the dare. It consists of embarrassing, funny, and random "would you rather" questions.
My friends and Kate deciding what "would you rather" question to give me. Yikes!


We stayed up until about 2:30 am and finally got to sleep when I put some relaxing music on my iPod, which almost drowned out the sound of my friend making raspberries on her arms :)
We got about 5 hours of sleep and in the morning we jumped on my friends trampoline and her mom made chocolate chip pancakes :d
It was all so fun, but at the moment I am so. Tired!
Until next time!
