Wow… it has been a while since I have even set at my desk and typed out a Recipe! It literally has been 6+ Months! I apologize for such a large gap … but 2020 was not the usual year for me as well as any of us. To be honest, I just chose to zero in on things that matter the most to me. Although this blog can be fun and enjoyable; it also consumes more time than I like. On that note, I plan to still add recipes from time to time, but it will have to come last on my list of things to do. During my time away, and more time at home; I have cooked more then ever and am excited to introduce to you all some of my new creations… like these Cheddar Garlic Zucchini Muffins!

As a lover of Savory foods…I love these muffins as they are not the usual sweet muffin but Savory and healthier then most! Do not get me wrong; I love a good sweet breakfast muffin, but when it comes to me choosing savory or sweet foods… 9 times out if ten I will choose the Savory! That is one area my husband and I normally disagree. He will want a bowl of cereal or ice cream for a snack; where I will want popcorn or peanuts! :0
How about you? Are you more of a Savory or Sweet kind of Person? If Savory is your choice then I am sure you will enjoy these Cheddar Garlic Zucchini Muffins!
