Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. veg oil (or applesauce)
1/2 c. plain yogurt (I usually use strawberry, yummy! I have also used sour cream)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. mashed bananas

Combine egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients until just moistened. fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Fill muffin tin and bake at 350 for 22 to 25 minutes. The boys love these and I do too!

Patricia's Zucchini Bread

3 eggs
1 c. veg oil
2 c. sugar
2 c. grated zucchini
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon (I also add a little nutmeg)
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs and oil until foamy. Add sugar, vanilla, and zucchini and mix well. Add dry ingredients and nuts. Mix well. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour (mine always takes closer to an hour, but I guess it depends on your oven.) This bread is really moist and good! The recipe says it freezes well, but I haven't ever frozen it. I have made it a ton lately since the zucchini in my garden have gone out of control. I also read that you can grate and freeze zucchini to use in bread later.

Easy Cheesy Rolls

1/4 Cup Melted Butter

2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (the kind in the green can...not fresh)

1 Tablespoon Dried Basil

1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded

1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

1 Package Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuits

In a bowl, combine butter, Parmesan cheese, basil and garlic powder. Mix shredded cheese. Remove biscuits from can and separate into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly and some of the shredded cheese mixture in the center of each biscuit; fold the dough around the cheese to form a ball. Pinch the dough together to seal the cheese inside. Roll each ball of dough in the melted butter mixture and place on baking sheet. If there is any leftover butter mixture, spoon it on top of the rolls on the baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Makes 8 rolls.

Cheese Muffins

I found this recipe via The Pioneer Woman Cooks. They are best when hot, so I heated up the leftovers today in the microwave for dinner. They remind me of the Magleby's cheese rolls. Yum!
