I am passionate about getting things done. I kicked my maid to the curb in April. As a result, I have less anxiety, more money and my house is actually cleaner. I no longer have to work around their schedule or spend the evening before prepping for their arrival. Now, I clean when I want and on my schedule.
My home is my sanctuary. It is also where I conduct business. It has to be clean and orderly. I want to live the Bodeci lifestyle; therefore I want to clean my own house!
At 2:30 I made my list:
1. Spit-shine the main area of the house
2. Make savory zucchini muffins
3. Harvest veggies for dinner tonight
4. De-clutter and organize the house
5. Continue to work on this blog.

It is now 2:35.
Andiamo!
Andiamo!
I began with de-cluttering, organizing and spit-shining so I didn’t get to the muffins until 3:30. While they baked I harvested and cleaned my veggies.
The muffins came out at 4:30. Still clad in my work clothes and flip-flops, I dashed off to class. Andiamo!
Look what I accomplished in 2 hours!

Savory Zucchini Muffins
cooking spray
2 1/2 whole wheat flour
2 Tblsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
2 large eggs (organic, free range if possible)
1/4 c. virgin olive oil
1 large organic zucchini (about two cups) shredded
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup shredded cheese (I used light mozzarella, but tastes best with sharp cheddar or Parmesan)
1/2 tsp. dill weed
1/2 tsp. celery seed
Pre-heat oven to 350 and spray 2 muffin pans (6 muffins per pan). Sift together dry ingredients in one bowl. In another, mix the eggs and olive oil until blended then add the last 5 ingredients and mix well. Measure out batter into pans and bake for 30 minutes or until, when inserted, a toothpick comes out clean. Place them on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes to cool. Makes 12 muffins. 172 cal. each.
For each plate I sliced a muffin in fourths horizontally to prepare open-faced turkey sandwiches. Seen here with sliced pickle, cheese and avocado. We also had a tossed romaine salad from the garden. It was delicious!
These muffins are so versatile. You could create a variety of healthy meals starting with this simple and easy recipe.
Make a batch and create something fantastic. Then let me know about it. I'd love to hear from you!
Andiamo!
