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. 

Spanish Rice

Yes, I already have a version of stuffed peppers and Spanish rice, but I loved my mother's Spanish rice growing up, the only thing I did not like was using taco bell packets from the restaurant, well now I do not have too!! WOO HOO!! Instead, I created my own and my gosh did the rice taste exactly like it did growing up without the additives and junk! (Taco Bell Sauce).
You Will Need:
2 lbs Hamburger
2 Jars Tomato Sauce
2-4 tbsp Garlic Powder (or fresh garlic)
2 tbsp Parsley
2-4 tbsp Onion Salt
4 Cups Rice, Cooked
1 Pint Homemade Taco Sauce
1/2 Medium Onion, Diced
Salt & Pepper, to taste
I forgot to picture my homemade taco sauce with the ingredients, you can find that recipe above! It taste just like the original minus all the crap they put in it 
Add olive oil into your pan (if using stainless steel) add onion, and hamburger
Add your spices and cook
Brown the burger, once browned drain it and put back into the pan
Add rice, tomato sauce, taco sauce, salt and pepper
Simmer for 20-30 minutes to let all the flavors merry!
One way to finish this dish off; add cheese to a bowl top with rice, and enjoy!
Or another way to enjoy this amazing dish is to stuff into peppers (boil peppers 10 minutes, stuff and bake 350 for 20-30 minutes).
