Best wishes on a successful launch for the project, Mike.

I baked a new recipe for pumpkin muffins on Wednesday morning, using some Halloween muffin papers. See my discussion of it at the thread "Dusting Off the Cookbooks," and see if it inspires you to try a new recipe from your bookshelves, or piles of cut out or printed recipes.

Friday was a day of baking. I started by making a batch of Maple Granola, as we were down to about 1/3 cup.

I used a scant cup of grated zucchini to bake Zucchini, Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip bars; it is a rift off of a King Arthur recipe. Scott was very happy to see chocolate chips! I forgot to set my timer, so they baked slightly longer than they should have, but we still like them. We needed a break from cinnamon and spices.

After the bars came out, I baked Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from the dough I made last week.
