Banana Cinnamon Muffins

Okay, okay.  I know it sounds like an odd combination but they were delicious!  The kids all went BONKERS over them!

2/3 C. sugar
1/2 C. oil
2 eggs
2 small very ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 2/3 C. flour (the recipe called for white but I used wheat)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together sugar, oil, and eggs.  Add bananas and vanilla and mix.  Add in remaining ingredients and stir just until moistened.  Divide among 12 greased muffin cups.  Sprinkle each liberally with sugar.  Bake at 375 degrees for 17-20 minutes.

Swiss Oven Omelet

I used a little less onion because I was running low.  And I used white instead of red because that's what I already had.  I also added 3 strips of torn up leftover turkey bacon.  We also think it might possibly be better without the sugar, but it was definitely good the way it was!
2 cups chopped red onion
2 tsp. sugar
1 T. oil
2 tsp. yellow mustard or dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
6 eggs
1/4 C. water
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 C. shredded swiss cheese

In a 10 inch ovenproof skillet, cook and stir onion and sugar in oil over medium heat to desired tenderness.  Add mustard and thyme.  Remove from heat and set aside.  In a small bowl, beat eggs, water, salt, and pepper.  Pour into skillet.  Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese.  Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.  Top with remaining cheese.  Cut into wedges.
