1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup quick oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp oil (I used vegetable oil)
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I used frozen)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line 12 muffin tins.
In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl combine the applesauce, buttermilk, brown sugar, oil, and the egg.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated. Gently fold in blueberries.
Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Bake 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack....

apple scones
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 Tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1 cup apple, peeled, cored, and diced
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
Glaze:
egg white, slightly beaten
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Add the butter and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives to make a coarse meal. Add the diced apple and stir with a spoon until all the apple pieces are coated with the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl blend the egg and the buttermilk together with a whisk or fork.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients, and mix them together just until blended. Use a rubber spatula to slice into and turn the ingredients.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, roll dough 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick and cut into rounds with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, carefully kneading and rerolling the scraps as necessary. Put on an ungreased baking sheet about an inch apart and brush with the slightly beaten egg white.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.

chicken nuggets
1 16-oz pkg frozen California-style veggies, thawed out
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
1 tsp onion salt
Crispy Coating Mix (recipe to follow)
Thaw out your package of California-style veggies and blend in your blender. Mix veggies, chicken and onion salt together. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Grease your cookie sheet. Prepare your crispy coating
Crispy Coating Mix
recipe from More Make-A-Mix Cookery
3 cups corn flake crumbs
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup sesame seeds
4 teaspoons dried parley leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir with a wire whisk until evenly distributed. Pour into a 5-cup container with a tight-fitting lid. Seal container. Label with date and contents. Store in a cool dry place. Use within 2 months or freeze. Makes about 4 1/2 cups crispy coating mix...
So there are bunches of ways you could do this! This is the way we chose to do it:
First, put a layer of crumb mixture on the countertop or cutting board. Then, grab a handful of the chicken/veggie mixture and press it down onto the crumb mixture. Then sprinkle the chicken with more crumbs and press down into the meat to coat it. We used a pizza cutter to just cut bite-size squares (My mom and I didn't figure my dad would be impressed by fun shapes :) ) You could just make single chicken nuggets and press them each into the crumb mixture, or your could cut them into shapes with cookie cutters. Just do as you please! Now place the chicken nuggets on the prepared cookie sheet and bake them for 14-16 minutes in your preheated oven.

heavy rolls
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
2 1/2 tsp salt
4 1/2 cups warm water
4 eggs
4 Tbsp yeast
13 cups flour
Mix water and yeast in large bowl. {This recipe fits in my larger KitchenAid bowl}... Add sugar to feed yeast. Melt butter. Add butter, salt, & eggs to yeast mixture. Add flour 3 cups at a time, mixing after each addition until blended. Turn into a greased extra large bowl. Grease the top and lightly cover with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place and let rise until doubled. Punch down and simply squeeze off blobs of dough, remembering that they're going to rise again. Place on a silpat-lined, or lightly greased cookie sheet. Let rise until doubled. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush melted butter on rolls while they're still hot. Cool on wire rack. Store in a cool dry place.
One of our favorite things to do with these rolls is to make Chicken Malibu Sandwiches...
simply cut the roll in half. Place a chicken patty or breaded chicken, a couple thin slices of ham, and a slice of swiss cheese on the roll. You can add any condiments you choose. These sandwiches make a great lunch or dinner

Baked Manicotti
Tomato Sauce
•1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (in juice)
•1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
•2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•3 medium cloves garlic, finely minced
•1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•2 teaspoons dried basil
Cheese Filling and Pasta
•3 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
•4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 cups)
•8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
•2 large eggs , lightly beaten
•3/4 teaspoon table salt
•1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
•2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
•10 large square wraps (like for egg rolls. You should be able to find in the refrigerated portion of the produce section of you local grocery store)
1.Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees.
2.Heat oil, garlic, and pepper flakes (if using) in large saucepan over medium heat until fragrant but not brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
3.In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and herbs; set aside.
4.Spread bottom of baking dish evenly with 1 1/2 cups sauce. Using spoon, spread 1/4 cup cheese mixture evenly onto bottom three-quarters of each wrap, leaving top quarter of wrap exposed. Roll into tube shape and arrange in baking dish seam side down. (You should be able to fit 8 manicotti in one row and 2 along the edge). Top evenly with remaining sauce, making certain that pasta is completely covered.
5.Cover manicotti with aluminum foil. Bake until bubbling, about 40 minutes, then remove foil. Sprinkle manicotti evenly with remaining 1 cup Parmesan. Bake until cheese is browned and bubbly, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving. Serves 10
[Tip from My Kitchen Cafe recipe - I haven't tried this yet but I would think it would work. I will try it next time I make it. The manicotti can be prepared right up until the baking step then covered with a sheet of parchment paper, wrapped in aluminum foil, and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. (If frozen, thaw the manicotti in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.) To bake, remove the parchment, replace the aluminum foil, and increase baking time to 1 to 1 1/4 hours.]
