Grandma's Zucchini Muffins

This is the recipe that started this entire blog idea.  Yup, the zucchini muffin recipe was emailed many times by Grandma and both Jenny and I kept misplacing it.  Every fall, when zucchini become MUCH TOO plentiful in the garden, we would need to request this unique recipe from Grandma.  The kids love them and tonight, I found a frozen bag of grated zucchini in the depths of my freezer and presto...  there will be zucchini muffins for breakfast tomorrow.

Looking for pictures to add to this post, I stumbled across these great shots of an Autumn weekend visit Grandma made to our house in 2010.  Grandma brought these funny glasses and everyone got in the spirit.  Reegan needed a little help with hers but Grandma was ready to assist.  The weekend was filled with shopping, playing and posing for 'memory' pictures.

Really, this recipe is a keeper.  Grandpa will be jealous when he finds out I've made a batch for the kids, he may even consider a drive to Calgary just to get his hands on a couple of warm muffins!
