Cast Iron Skillet GIVEAWAY and Healthier Chocolate Zucchini Brownies with Yogurt

We have two fun updates for you today: the result of our brownie do-over and a giveaway sponsored by CSN stores, a group of online stores that carry anything from beautiful mailboxes to useful cookware.

As you know, we love baking sweet treats at home but have also been striving to make healthier choices   As we had mentioned last week, we were going to recreate our Chocolate Zucchini Brownies (that already seemed healthy with hidden vegetables within it) with yogurt substituting as oil.

What we did was follow the exact recipe but substituted the 1/2 cup of oil for 1/2 cup of fat-free French vanilla yogurt.  The result?  The brownies were less fudge-like and more cake-like in texture.  The brownie rose higher and it tasted less decadent, but still delicious (like an un-iced chocolate cake).  And since it's low fat, it almost guilt-free, right? 
Now, onto the GIVEAWAY!  With the cold weather here in NYC, we oftentimes stay warm inside and, like our readers, cook up a storm.  So we were excited when the promotions team at CSN stores contacted us to give away a product from their over 200+ online stores.


They sell everything from mailboxes to wine racks so we had some fun searching the sites for the perfect giveaway.
We decided to GIVE AWAY the Emerilware Cast Iron 12" Skillet to one lucky reader.  Cast iron is great because it evenly cooks your food, seasons over time, and is incredibly durable.  This skillet is made by All Clad and measures 3" H x 12" W x 12" D.
