Zucchini Banana Bread


Farms are BURSTING with zucchini around here.  I love it, because I am stocking the freezer with so many great treats.  I've already made Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins, and Zucchini Raisin Cookies.  I've probably got another 2 or 3 recipes printed.

I don't know what it is with my guys.  If I buy 7 bananas, they'll eat 5. If I buy 5, they'll eat 3.  There's something about those last 2 bananas! I'm pretty sure it's because they know if they leave them, I'll bake them into something delicious.

This recipe is great to use up those bananas, plus some of the zucchini that's overtaking the farm stands right now.  Since we have nut allergies here, I swapped out the nuts for mini cinnamon chips.  This one is great for breakfast, dessert, midnight snack.  Thank you so much to Donna H. for sharing her recipe!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
