Well I won a copy of Gooseberry Patch's new Cookbook "101 Cupcake, Cookie & Brownie Recipes" and as I was flipping through the pages I found a recipe for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cupcakes with Peanut Butter frosting.
I went out to the freezer pull out a bag of my shredded zucchini and started making the cupcakes. I still used my recipe for the cupcakes as it had a few extra spices that the Gooseberry recipe lacked. But, I did use Gooseberry's recipe for the Peanut Butter Frosting.
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup butter softened
1 T. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Beat peanut butter, butter, milk and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar.

I have but my regular zucchini bread recipe into cupcakes and frosted with cream cheese frosting. Delish, but you can put cream cheese frosting on almost anything and it is good!

If you're going to continue talking about yummy stuff I'm going to have to go away for awhile lol. These sound amazing!!! I'm on a weight loss challenge with my friends at work and I have 4 more weeks to go. Guess I'll just have to collect the recipes til I'm able to try a few of them. There's no way I can stay away from your site :)

Hi!
popping in via the blog hop. fun blog and really yummy eye candy!! my only critique would be that your pictures and text in the sidebar overlap, and very difficult to read/see. Oh! and i'd love to see your 'about me' at the top of the sidebar, so peeps will know who you are right away. :)
hope to see ya around my random neighborhood sometime!
many blessings,
-Tracie
