Dinner ~ Hawaiian Chicken

Hawaiian Chicken Recipe

• 1 can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Quick Bread ~ Zucchini Bread

My generous neighbor gave me two huge zucchini last week and yesterday I baked up some goodness with them.  


Zucchini Bread ~ All Recipes

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I used chocolate/peanut butter chips)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
2. Beat together eggs, sugar, and oil. Blend in the grated zucchini, and then the sour cream. Mix in the flour, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon. Stir in chocolate. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake for 80 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

There is only 1/2 a loaf left out of two so I guess it was a hit!

Breakfast - Baked Ham Cups

Baked Ham Cups - Food for a Hungry Soul

Baked Ham Cups with Eggs and Cheese

Two ham slices per person  
One egg per person, per cup
A couple of tablespoons of cheddar (or other) cheese per cup
Other optional ingredients (I used mushrooms for some of them)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray one muffin cup for each serving.  Using two slices of ham for each person, lay the ham slices criss-crossing each other, ruffling the slices into the muffin cup and up the sides to make it fit.  

Crack one egg into each muffin cup.  Top with cheese and other desired toppings.

Bake for about 10-15 minutes(I baked mine for about 18 minutes)


Jimmy gave it a A-
The kids all liked them and ate all of theirs.

Mom - "Dad gave it a B+"

Me - Jimmy gave it an 8 and the kids weren't interested, so they had ramen noodles (weirdos).  I liked it a lot.  Next time I will throw a few mushrooms on it.

Katie, my niece, took the pictures for me!

This was a nice, quick meal and I would make it again.  I bought the pizza shell for $1.49 at the bakery of my local store.
