Every Tuesday morning I bake for Scotty. I try to rotate what I make so that he just might possibly eat what I make during that week. Today I suggested a few options and he answered with, "Chocolate Cake!" We have never made chocolate cake for him before. I had zucchini muffins in mind...but chocolate cake it was! Thinking he was more likely to eat his own idea, we began after a few searches through recipe books seeing what I could modify. Scotty had his first taste of chocolate cake batter and was IN LOVE. Cleaning out the bowl became his new job. I even secretly snuck a large, finely grated zucchini into the cupcakes hoping he wouldn't notice. 
All the boys wanted to try his delicious looking treats. Michael happened to see a green vegetable next to the mixing bowl when I was making them. "Are these cucumber muffins?" he asked scared to take a bite. I answered, "Of course not!" ... and it wasn't even a lie. All boys are in love with this creation. A cooking success - with a veggie hidden inside!
