Protein Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Bagels

These are soooooo good! My kids ask me to make these ALL the time. Esp my picky eater, she loves them!! Def can add whatever you want to them, or as toppings. I love mine with either plain or strawberry cream cheese. Yum! I know what I am making this week! No judging, our microwave broke and we decided to order new appliances, these were just old and needed to go, had them for 8 years. I LOVE our new appliances!  Funny story content: I was making mini corndogs and the stupid muffins would not stop crumbling! I was pissed and kinda sorta hit the pan on the side of our counter until it dented! oops.  My son, the one speaking, loves throwing that in my face. 😀  You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 Cup Greek Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt 2 tbsp Honey  Chocolate Chips/Blueberries (I used frozen wild ones, thawed) Melted Butter, brushed on top before cooking. Cook 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until golden brown. 

Reusable Bag Decorations

Our family hates the use of plastic anything; bags, bottles, storage container, and etc. We vowed to only use reusable bags that the stores sell, and that we did. We have completely stocked up on reusable bags; that are able to accommodate our large grocery adventures {yay!}. Recently, we went to Whole Foods Market in Dublin, Ohio where they were doing a bunch of different crafts for Thanksgiving; coloring pages, drawings, and bag decorations. They were giving children their reusable frozen foods bag (made of fabric) that sell for $9.99 to use in this craft and fabric markers to use on the bags. Well, after Kristopher and Kailee finished their bags, they wanted to go buy the markers to decorate more at home.
Off to Michael's we went, bought the markers/pens and bought a couple more bags from Whole Foods Market for this craft blog. {Markers Here} We later went home, and decorated our bags for hours.
Here Is What You Need:
Fabric Markers
Fabric Bags {or you can use shirts}
Give your child a bag, (or shirt, or pants) and markers sit them down and tell them to 'let their minds go crazy!' You will be very surprised what they come up with when they are able to just do whatever they want. Kristopher and Kailee finished their bags, and are pictures (so CREATIVE!) and they absolutely love being able to use these bags when they go to the grocery store for "their food items" lol.
