PS
Am I the only person that looks at this blog. If so I may stop compiling the recipe's here. And since my other contributors NEVER contribute (hint, hint) I don't want to waste time typing up recipes I already have. If you know what I mean.
Banana Muffins
I got this recipe from a girl on a message board I frequent and I finally had ripe enough bananas Tuesday night to make them.
1 1/4 cup flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
1 egg (or flaxseed mixture, see below)
1/3 cup canola oil (or no sugar added applesauce)
1/3 cup milk (soymilk)
1/2 chopped walnuts (I leave these out)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 and grease muffin pan or line with paper cups.
Combine first 7 ingredients (dry) in medium bowl. Mix the banana, egg, oil, and milk in a separate bowl. Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients and stir in wet ones. Mix until just combined. Fold in nuts and chocolate chips and divide among muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden brown and smell heavenly.
Flaxseed mixture: Mix 1 TBS of ground flaxseed with 3 TBS of water and you have the perfect healthy egg alternative for any recipe.
Verdict: These were a perfect breakfast for me. My kids are not muffin fans (of any kind) so they have tasted them but have not eaten a whole one. They are really yummy and I plan on alternating between these and banana bread when I have bananas to use.

Cheesy Chicken Italiano
I got this recipe out of one of my Kraft foods cookbooks.
3 cups rotini pasta (1/2 lb)
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 jar (14 oz) spaghetti sauce
6 oz Velveeta pasteurized Prepared Cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Cook Pasta as directed on package
Heat large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 2 min on each side. Add sauce; cover and simmer on low heat 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 degree F) Add velveeta; stir until melted.
Drain pasta; top with chicken and sauce
I served this with green salad and cucumbers.
Verdict: I liked it. It wasn't amazing or memorable but I like it. My kids LOVED it. They both ate it right up and asked for seconds. My four year old made the comment out loud that he really loved this dinner and I should make it all the time.

French Toast Sandwiches
French Toast Sandwiches
Frozen French Toast Slices
Honey Ham Lunch Meat
Sliced American Cheese
Strawberry Jam
Toast French Toast Slices as directed on the box in the toaster and place desired amount of ham and a slice of cheese. Dip in Strawberry Jam. Serve Warm.
Verdict: I LOVE these. Like really, really love them. One of my favorite foods is Monte Crisco Sandwiches but they are not easy to find on menu's. This tasted like a really easy one of those. My kids gobbled them up. Even Turbo who does not like jam. I convinced him to try one bite dipped in jam and he could not get enough. I will be putting these on the menu for a quick filling breakfast or our sunday lunch before our 1 pm church. It was a fun breakfast for dinner type thing. The kids thought I was so cool making sandwiches with their frozen french toast.
