"whole wheat zucchini walnut muffins" news and stories

My cousin Jeremy grew up in a small town in Vermont. It was a friendly sort of place, where people looked out for each other and kids could leave their bikes on the front porch without any fear of them disappearing. In fact, the only time people would lock their car doors in that town was during the height of the summer growing season. If you left a door unlocked, you'd return to a front seat overflowing with zucchini.

I've recently experienced a similar level of "Vermont" generosity from friends with gardens. That, coupled with the inability to resist a good farmers' market bargain has left me with an overflowing vegetable bin of zucchini. I'm now on a mission to use them up before they get bad, and so created a whole wheat zucchini walnut muffin. These suckers are so good that I'm having trouble resisting them. But since they're made with mostly healthy ingredients, I don't feel too bad.
