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. 

White Salt Dough Recipe

This is so much fun to make with you children! All you need is a few ingredients and you are set to go! I added glitter to ours, you most definitely do not have too. We also decided to color with cheap food coloring! I would never ever, ever use this food coloring in our food but this is not food! I also used very cheap ingredients instead of organic ones (the flour is all I had). 
Materials:
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Salt
1/2-1 Cup Water 
Glitter
Food Coloring
I doubled the recipe... add your flour, and salt into a bowl
I added glitter, red, green and white. 
Mix together 
Slowly add water... Mix and add more water if needed
Continue working the dough until it forms a nice ball
I think it is beautiful just like this! But...
Amazing...
See all that glitter...
The kids wanted colored...
Add to center of dough, a little to begin with
Mix well, until all the color is incorporated 
It can get a wee bit messy!
They are beautiful!! 
Roll and cut any shapes you wish
We made shapes and hand prints
Red is beautiful 
Other kids print...
Different colors we did... 
Once you have your shapes, place a whole in the top of the ornament {I used a straw to make these wholes}, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (unbleached or bleached does not matter since you are not eating it). Bake 200 degrees for 3-4 hours or until the pieces are nice and harden.. You can then decorate with Sharpies, markers, paint or puffy paints..
