So very good! I bought some Cardamom last year for a recipe and I'm always on the lookout for other recipes that use it!! Love the flavor that the cardamom lended to the old standby! BTW, David and I went to high school together. He recommended the recipe on a mutual friend's FB page - you can thank him for me! ~Jess McKnight

This is part one of a two-part report! I made Z-bread today, or, more precisely, Z-muffins. Followed your recipe EXCEPT: used 1/4 tsp. nutmeg instead of cardamom (which C-Town did not have), and used 1/2 c. brown and 1/2 c. white sugar instead of full c. white. My c. of zucchini was definitely heaping, and I also probably threw in way too many chocolate chips (as tho there is such a thing - ha). Made 12 perfect muffins, which just came out after baking exactly 26 min. Too hot to eat but will report in tomorrow, as I hope to have one or two for breakfast. YUM! They smell DELISH!

v-word: frismanc. Ha. That's my hair right now.

Ok, part 2! I'm having a Z-muffin for breakfast as I type and it is de-LISH! Holds together well without being dense, and nice and soft without being chewy. The flavors are wonderful. The nutmeg lends more of an aroma than a spicy flavor, but that's fine by me. Beautiful little green flecks throughout. :) I think a teaspoon of vanilla next time might be an interesting experiment (would make it taste more like a cake, I bet). The extra chocolate chips didn't hurt a thing.

v-word: swike! Love!
