A Perfect Storm . . . ugh, Dinner

You know how sometimes it just all comes together? Well last night was one of those nights.

-- The Event: Dinner for an old friend.
-- The Menu: Grilled Pork Tenderloin Medallions
                           Strawberry Spinach Salad
                           Steamed Asparagus
                           Cheesy Garlic Grits
                           Zucchini Muffins
                           Cherry Cobbler
 -- The Result: Sheer Perfection!

In all the excitement, I forgot to take pictures, so you'll have to imagine the visual but I'll post the recipes here over the next couple of days.

Today it's those lovely Zucchini Muffins. Perfect for this time of year with the abundance of zucchini available. Grow your own if you have the talent, time and inclination. Or if you're like me, go to the market and buy organic.

1 cup whole wheat flour (I use King Arthur)
1 cup unbleached flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup sugar (for these I used Florida Crystals Organic)
2 egg whites
1 cup fat free milk
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup grated zucchini

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tin with organic cooking spray.

Stir together dry ingredients. Beat the egg whites until foamy. Add milk and melted butter. Blend dry ingredients, liquid ingredients and zucchini, stirring just enough to moisten. Yield: 16 muffins.

These are great for breakfast, with a salad, for a snack, with dinner . . . well you get the idea. Anytime!

Happy eating!
