Swiss Cheese Chicken
5 chicken breasts, cut in half
Swiss cheese (1 piece for each chicken breast) (You can just ask the deli for about 10 pieces of chicken)
1 large can cream of chicken (or two small cans) (I usually buy the "family size" can)
1 c. milk
Bread crumbs
Butter
Butter casserole pan. Put chicken in the pan. Put one piece of cheese on each piece of chicken. In a separate bowl, mix cream of chicken and milk. Pour mixture over top of chicken. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Cut small pieces of butter and put them over the top of the casserole. Cover with foil.
Bake at 350* for 45 minutes. Take foil off for last 15 minutes.
This recipe is so delicious and super easy. It is really good to serve it over rice. The recipe can be halved, but we usually make the whole thing because it saves well as leftovers. We are having it for dinner today :)

Kid's Favorite Chocolate Chip Muffins
(verybestbaking.com)
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
4 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 c. sugar
1 can 100% pumpkin (15 oz.)
1 c. vegetable oil
2 c. chocolate chips
Preheat overn to 350*. Grease 36 muffine cups.
Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Combine eggs and sugar in a larger bowl. Add pumpkin and oil and mix well.
Stir in flour mixture until moist. Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon into muffin cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops of muffins spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pans for 5 minutes.
Here's Melanie Monson's healthy variation:
First, use all whole-wheat flour (3 cups). Second, measure scant cups of sugar. Finally, use 1/2 c. applesauce in place of 1/2 c. oil. They still turn out very moist and yummy.
