"These delicious treats make the most of the basil and zucchini I grow," enthuses Marion Lowery of Medford, Oregon. "The aroma during baking is so tempting my family flocks to the kitchen to grab muffins for snacking. I've learned to always mix up a double batch so I have enough for dinner!"

"These are bland and mostly tasteless. We dipped them in pasta sauce so they didn't go to waste. Sorry, this was not worth my time or effort."
