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. 

Potato Wedges

I want to make sure I am giving my family the best ingredients and foods possible, even if they may be considered "bad" for you (aka pies and sweets). I needed to come up with a plan on how to make potato wedges without all the nasty crap added from those places. For some odd reason all I have been craving, yet again, is potato wedges.. Well I came up with what I thought was the best for what I had, and they tasted amazing. On to the recipe, enough mumble jumbo.
You Will Need:
5 Pound Bag Potatoes
1 Stick Butter
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Fresh Grated
1/2 tbsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Dice your butter, and place it into a glass 9' x 13' pan that is oven safe. Melt the butter slightly, the rest will melt in the oven; which is good it will keep the potatoes from sticking while they cook
In a big zip-lock bag, place all your dry ingredients and mix together, set aside
Wash your potatoes very well, no dirt is good! *As you see my husband is my potato scrubber!*
Peel, and cut potatoes into wedge shape (I could not get that pictured, sorry) place the wedges into the dry mixture bag *Kailee did that here*
Shake the bag until all the potatoes are fully coated with the mixture, as you can see here
Dump the potatoes onto the glass baking dish, and cook in the oven at 375 degrees for 60 minutes, making sure to turn them at 30 minutes. After 60 minutes, check to see if they are soft enough and have even crisp to them, if not up the temperature and continue to cook in 10 minutes intervals, turning after every 10 minute 
Do they not look BEAUTIFUL!! Nice and golden brown, with amazing crispy edges
My homemade chicken strips recipe pairs amazingly with these potato wedges!
