These muffins are versatile and always moist and delicious. People are surprised to learn that there is zucchini in them. We served them often at Mossberry B&B on Ponderosa Drive.

Basic Gingersnap Cookies
Great cookie recipe. The pepper gives it the snap!
Christmas Plum Pudding
This is a fairly basic British Christmas plum pudding recipe but unlike other recipes it can actually have plums in it. Unfortunately the ingredient list is so long, it isn't easy to make it in less than industrial quantities! You can substitute a mixture of fresh and dried apricots, peaches, etc. for the plums and milk for the ale if you wish. Serve with brandy or rum butter.
Korean Glass Noodles (Jap Chae)
The type of noodles used in this dish is made from sweet potato starch and translucent when cooked, hence the English name, 'glass noodles.' They are also gluten free and are wonderfully springy and light. These noodles can be served hot, room temperature, or even slightly chilled; they are very versatile. They can be found at most Asian markets.
