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. 

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie is a very hearty meal, but very easy to make; time consuming yes, but simple at best. For the past 3 months Kai has been asking and asking 'Mom, can you please make pot pie tonight?' I never felt like making such a HUGE meal. Tonight, I decided to surprise her with pot pie. Oh Boy! Did she ever freak out! I used a recipe that my grandmother used to make and passed down to me many years ago (like 7 or 8 years ago wow been a while). This is simply the best recipe ever and you can switch it up instead of making pie crust, boil some egg noddles and make it into a soup. I do this ALL the time, but Kai asked for pot pie with the crust plsss. 😂 Now, I normally make homemade crust, but I was just not feeling it. With the holidays right around the corner, I have soooo much I need to get done with editing, blog stuff, recipes, and tons more that I just did not have time. This crust was the BEST crust I have ever had. It's made in the USA, Non-GMO and organically made (so for me, it passed the test). It has like 5-7 ingredients maybe less. 

Normally, after you cook this for 45-60 minutes, you need to let it cool the same amount of time so it thickens up and is not liquid-y. However, these kids were NOT waiting for more time to pass, so I just served it.
You Will Need:
6 tbsp Butter, unsalted
6 tbsp All-Purpose Flour 
1 Cups Onion, minced
2 Cups Chicken Bone Broth
1 Cups Half-n-Half 
2 Cups Potatoes, diced 
1 Cups Frozen Peas & Carrots
2 Cups Chicken, cooked
Salt & Pepper
Pie Crust
