Vegas – Last Day – Part One
Sniff. Sniff. This will be the one of the last of the Vegas Chronicles. Some of you might have been bored by them anyway. But I do miss all that good food. The last day of our trip we had a late flight. Thank goodness, we had one more day to indulge in a breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi. Gabi really did become my friend on this trip and I will miss her dearly. Perhaps she will send me a post card and recount our delicious memories together.
I didn’t have to look at the menu. I knew I wanted to try a Croque-Madame. I had a Croque Monsieur while visiting Paris, France many years ago. But I never had a Croque Madame.
Like the Croque Monsieur, the Croque Madame is basically a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, but the Madame has a fried egg on top. This Croque Madame was made with country ham and gruyere cheese. It came with some really thin fries, which were nice and crispy.
The sandwich was huge and yes I did eat the entire thing myself. There was no way I was leaving any piece behind. This was going to be my last good meal for a long while. I had to make it count. And it did. Just looking at this picture now makes me drool. Bonjour Madame!
But all good things must come to an end. We had a flight to catch and I had to finish packing. Goodbye Paris. Au Revoir!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies
I finally got around to making the Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies. The house smells so chocolaty. Who would have thought to put zucchini in a brownie. Thanks www.healthyfoodforliving.com. They really are divine. They are moist, chocolaty, with a hint of zucchini. There are not many ingredients and the recipe is super easy. Mine came out a little more cake like then what was pictured on there site, but I used the same ingredients. Perhaps it is the special brownie pan I use. It’s that one you see on TV that cuts the brownies as they bake. My mother bought it for me on QVC (her favorite channel), so I tried it and have loved it since. It really does bake the brownies a lot better than a pyrex glass dish and I don’t destroy them trying to cut them. They come out cut and looking pretty! Here is the recipe for anyone who has extra zucchini laying around:
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies
Yield: 16 brownies
Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
2 cups shredded zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 11 baking pan with cooking spray, set aside.
2. In a stand mixer, combine sugar, canola oil, and flour, combine until mixture resembles wet sand. While mixing, on low, add cocoa, zucchini, vanilla extract, salt and baking soda. Mix until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
3. Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the brownies are set.
4. Cool on a wire rack. Cut brownies into squares and serve.
