Baked Chicken Nuggets
Everyone in the house loved these, from my littlest one to my picky husband! The only thing I did differently was to soak the pieces of chicken in a salt-water ice bath, then drain & dry before continuing with the recipe...just to give the meat itself a little more flavor and to help keep it moist. I have been told this needs to be a regular menu item at our house!

Banana Crumb Muffins
I normally don't review a recipe if I change it a lot, but I saw another reviewer looking for ways to add nutrition to these, so I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Because, these are obviously great as is, but I wanted folks to know they were very forgiving when you play around with them. These were wonderful, even after all my subs! I used 1 cup whole wheat flour & 1/2 cup white, plus 1-2 tbsp of wheat germ. I added cinnamon and nutmeg to the dry ingredients, cuz mmmmmm...I just love 'em. I replace the white sugar with mostly raw (turbinado) sugar & about a tbsp each of brown sugar & molasses. I added an extra egg to help make up for the wheat germ I added. I also used oil instead of butter & apple sauce to replace about 1/3 of the oil. And I mixed in about 1/2 cup of chopped pecans into the batter. They came out moist and very flavorful. YUM!!!

Chocolate Zucchini Bread I
Awesome way to sneak some veggies to the kiddos!! As usual, I substituted like crazy. But anything that I did would have only made it taste worse, and I thought it was incredible even after I sub'd it to death. I used all whole wheat flour, I cut the oil to 1/4 cup & added 1 cup of applesauce. Then I added 3 Tbsp of molasses & used raw sugar (which I cut to 1 1/2 cups). Also, I didn't have squares of chocolate, so I sub'd 6 Tbsp of cocoa powder & added it to the dry ingredients. So even after all of those healthnut changes, it turned out delicious. And it's even better if you sprinkle some mini chocolate chips across the top of the loaf when you pull it out of the oven. Mmmmmm...
