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.

Yummy Korean-Style Glass Noodles (Japchae)
My simple version of Korean-style japchae isn't traditional, but the slippery-sweet noodles are flavorful and satisfying! Serve as a starter or pair with meat as a main.
Okinawa Shoyu Pork
I think the Okinawans got the slow food concept right. Okinawa shoyu pork was one of my favorite recipes growing up. Shoyu pork is eaten over rice or on top of soba noodles. The soy sauce-marinated, slow-cooked pork has just the right amount of sweet taste (imagine Okinawan brown sugar). It is pretty close to perfect.
Teriyaki Roasted Chicken
This tasty roast chicken has lots of teriyaki flavor. It's best to marinade the chicken for a few hours. It's easy to make with just sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger and garlic.
