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. 

Swiss Steak {aka Pepper Steak}

Growing up my mother always bought those frozen T.V. dinners and I loved the pepper steak so much. But being an adult and finally understanding what is in my food I took a stand against T.V. dinners and decided to put my love for cooking to use. I found out how to make my favorite meal and how to freeze it like those tiny T.V. dinners! Trust me I have never gone back to them and never will. This is by far one of my favorite meals.
You Will Need:
2 lb Grass Fed Organic Top Round Steak
2 Cups Cooked Rice
32 oz. Creamy Tomato Soup
2-4 Bell Peppers 
3 Medium Onions
1 pkg. Mushrooms
1/2-1 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Olive Oil 
Salt & Pepper
Cut mushrooms 
Cut peppers 
Cut onions- add to pan
Cover meat in flour
Place in a cast iron pan covered with olive oil and cook on medium for roughly 5 to 6 minutes a side- this is to brown the meat only
Be sure to get all the brown out of the pan that is going to thicken the 'sauce'
BEAUTIFUL!
Add your tomato soup, also add water to each can, about 4 tbsp and swish around
My gosh, my husband, Daniel, took an amazing picture
Season and mix
In the oven it goes, cover with foil and cook at 350 degrees for 3-4 hours, if the sauce is not thicken you will need to thicken it with organic corn starch or arrowroot powder
Make your rice
Add the meat, pepper mixture to the rice and mix together
