*Why do I stay up so late every night and then think I will get up "early" the next day?
I have such a bad habit of "burning the midnight oil"...oh, it's way past midnight
before I shut it all down and head to bed...every single night.
No wonder my body doesn't function properly!
*Why can't I ever tear the saran wrap off right???
I think the box is out to get me...every. single. time!
It can't be the brand, because I have tried them all, thinking the cheap ones were the problem.
It turns out it has to be user error...because my husband can tear a straight line
AND keep it from sticking to itself!
Me...I tear it off at an angle, ripping and shredding it as I go,
and then all of a sudden it ends up in one giant lump.
Curse you saran wrap!!!!
LOL! It probably has something to do with my sleep patterns:-)
*I think I am addicted to using exclamation points and ellipses dots...
lately I have been conscience of how many times I put them in one sentence.
Of course it doesn't make me want to stop...
I like my own grammatically wrong use of them.
Oh, and the over use of colon smiley's:-)
Yup, I do that too!!!
*Where have all the donuts gone?
Is it doughnut or donut??? I always wonder that when I type it.
I am sort of kind of partial to the short version...
too lazy to type the extra letters? Yea, probably:-)
But seriously, I want another donut.
Chocolate (kind of sort of healthy) donuts...yes, please!!!
These chocolate bites of goodness did not last long at all in our house!
They were eaten for breakfast and snack time.
I may have even eaten one (or more) for dinner!
Why not? It has applesauce, yogurt, and zucchini all up in it...
sounds like the perfect acceptable dinner to me:-)
*I am really happy this donut phase in my life is still going strong.
Donuts are just kind of fun to make!!! Faster and easier than cupcakes...
but with the same delicious satisfaction!
Oh, I am really sad these donuts are gone...
they were so delicious dipped into the chocolate!
The slight crunch when you bite into each one was out of this world!
*Must make more donuts!
Very soon!

- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/3 c. buttermilk
- 2/3 c. vanilla yogurt
- 1 c. shredded zucchini
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Instructions
Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in the salt, applesauce, yogurt, buttermilk, and zucchini and continue to cream. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Slowly add to the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand. Do not over mix.
Spoon the donut butter into a large ziplock bag and cut one tip off. Fill the donut pan cavities at least 3/4 full. Bake at 375* for 10-12 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl with the shortening. Heat and stir 30 seconds at a time until melted. Dip the tops of the donuts in the white chocolate. Let set. Melt the red and blue candy melts and place in two small ziplock bags with a tiny tip cut off one corner of each bag. Drizzle both colors on the donuts and sprinkle with clear edible glitter. Let set before serving. Store in an air tight container. Makes 18 donuts.
