Homemade McChicken

M cChicken sandwich, spicy or regular, has always been a household favorite until McDonalds started adding crap to the recipe. I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 years old, things have def changed from then to now. Season it how you wish, I just throw a bunch of spices in and call it good! Does not matter what you use.  You Will Need: Ground Chicken Garlic Powder Onion Powder Paprika  Breadcrumbs  Flour Egg Wash Mayo Buns Lettuce Tomato After you form patties, freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Once frozen, dip in flour, egg then bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown and 165 degrees temp reached inside. 

Mini Banana Nut Muffins

Okay, so I admit it! I have a kind of obsession with mini muffin making!! =/ Okay who cares?! They are super cute! Why not, right?!? Plus, these mini muffin obsession is perfect snack for the kids in school (they have a late snack before leaving) and a great snack for at home! Today, they walked in the door and saw the mini muffins and yelled 'woo hoo muffins!! super cute honestly!

You Will Need:

2 Cups Organic All-Purpose Flour (or whole wheat)
1 tsp Baking Powder (Bob's Red Mill)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda (Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Organic Cinnamon
2 Organic Pasture Raised Eggs, room temp
1/2 Cup Organic Butter, room temp
1/4 Cup Organic Raw Milk, room temp
2 Organic Bananas, brown spots and soft
1 tsp Salt (Real Salt Brand)
1 Cup Organic Coconut Sugar (or reg)
1 Cup Organic Walnuts (optional)



Cream the softened butter together with the sugar (coconut sugar or regular organic sugar work well here) 


Add eggs, vanilla, and milk, and cream together


Add the ripened bananas and mix until there is chunks but not HUGE ones (I love looking at the bread and seeing all the small chunks of banana)


Add dry ingredients and whisk well, until combined. I did not have my kitchen aid mixer so I used an good old hand mixer and whisk


These are the walnuts I am using (as I forgot to picture them above)


Fold walnuts in


Prepare your bread pan or muffin tin by greasing with butter- only needs to be done once (if making muffins you will have about 2 batches). Bake 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until insert comes out clean and nice and golden. If making the mini muffins only cook for 15 minutes.
