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. 

Crockpot Beef & Noodles

When I got married and moved away on my own with Daniel and the kids, I never thought to ask my mother or grandmother how they made beef and noodles, I always thought I knew but I could never master it how they used too. Since losing touch with both my mother and grandmother, I reached out to my sister, Michelle, regarding how she makes beef and noodles and I have decided to take out and add in where I see fit, and let me tell you its absolutely amazing!
You Will Need:
2 lbs Roast
2-4 Brown Gravy Packets
1 Medium Onion, Chopped
1 pkg Mushrooms, washed
32 oz Beef Bone Broth
1 Bag Egg Noodles 
2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp Garlic Salt (or fresh chopped garlic)
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Mashed Potatoes or Rice
The night before, cut your meat and put all the dried seasonings on it and let it sit in fridge until next morning
Cut onions
Add meat, broth, mushrooms, onions, and seasoning to your pot, cover and cook on medium for 6 hours
Get enough broth out of the pot (I did 1 cup per packet of gravy)
Add gravy packets and mix well
As you can see it is really thickened up the broth
Add back to the pot and cook on low.. While this is cooking (sorry camera died at this part) boil your noodles, and start your potatoes for the mashed potatoes
There you go! Serve on top of a beautiful bed of mashed potatoes. This is to die for! I SWEAR.
