Pumpkin Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins


Craving fall flavors but still harvesting zucchini from your garden?  I've got the recipe for you! My niece requested pumpkin zucchini bread so I went searching for a recipe and found this one on the Taste of Home site.


I made a few changes, the first of which was to use mini chocolate chips instead of nuts due to allergies. 


I also instead of two loaves I made a dozen muffins and one loaf.  I sprinkled the muffins with raw sugar before baking, the loaf sprinkled with a few more mini chips.

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.
