Banana oatmeal mini muffins

I love my mini muffin tins, perfect for making on the go breakfasts for my very on the go family and these are delicious!!!
3 cups oatmeal
1 cup Vanilla soymilk (can substitute regular milk)
2 tbsp ground flax seed
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp baking powder
3 dashes cinnamon
1/2 cup baking chips (I used a combination of semi-sweetened chocolate chips and peanut butter chips)
Preheat oven to 350
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and spoon into coated mini muffin tins...Bake for 15 minutes, let cool and enjoy!!!

Muffin cup pot pies

Today I decided to try something new for my kids who refuse to eat pot pies and they ate until they were stuffed, they loved this supper so here is the recipe...

Muffin cup pot pies
2 rolls pillsbury flakey layers biscuits (or whatever kind of biscuits you prefer)
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup shredded chicken
1 bag mixed frozen vegetables
1/4 cup flour (I used wheat)
3 dashes of oregano
Preheat your oven to 400

I recommend using dark muffin tins, they don't stick in those otherwise you will want to coat your muffin tin...Stuff 1 biscuit into muffin tins, in a bowl mix the rest of the ingredients together, then spoon it into the biscuits...Stick them in the oven for 15 minutes then take out and enjoy!!!

Mexican Lasagna


This was supper tonight, Mexican Lasagna here is how I made it:

1 can hunts diced tomatoes
1 can Bush's Black beans drained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1/8 cup dried cilantro
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
2 dashes of salt
No Boil lasagna noodles
Daiya cheeses (I used handfulls of cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack 1 handful of each per layer)

Preheat oven to 350

In a bowl combine spices, black beans, and corn. Cover the bottom of the pan with diced tomatoes, just use enough tomatoes and some of the juices to cover the bottom then top with noodles. Place a thin layer of bean mixture followed by some tomatoes and juice. Top with another layer of noodles, bean mixture and some tomatoes and juice then top with cheese, repeat again my top layer had very little bean mixture and just enough tomatoes and juice to make sure to cover the noodles and used a little more cheese to cover the top well. Bake in preheated oven with foil on for 40 minutes (may need to subtract or add 5 minutes depending on how your oven cooks), cook an additional 5 minutes with foil off and let sit for 5-10 minutes after taking out of oven.

My kids and I are allergic to milk but you can use any kind of cheese you would like, I would recommend a blend if you can have dairy :)
