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. 

Spaghetti Sauce

Spaghetti is a family favorite so I figured I would share my favorite recipe for sauce (with meatballs!) I mean come on it has meatballs you know you want to try this recipe. You can change out the ground meat with whatever. I have made this often with ground beef, and a mix of ground meat and ground pork (mild). But this is as basic and as simple as it comes, nothing crazy about it.
You Will Need:
3-6 tsp Homemade Italian Seasoning (to taste)
Homemade Meatballs
1/2 Onion, chopped
Olive Oil
1 lb Ground Meat
1 Can Tomatoes, diced
1 Can Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Garlic, fresh
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Dice your onions
Add garlic, onion, and olive oil in a stock pot
Add salt
Add pepper
Cook until translucent 
Add ground meat
Cook until browned
Drain off extra grease (when I use turkey I leave the olive oil because it gives it a deeper flavor to the sauce; if you use hamburger meat drain for sure)
Add tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes (I also added basil, parsley and garlic salt)
Let Simmer then add spices
Add your Italian seasoning, adjusting to your taste
I used homemade meatballs I had fully cooked frozen, I added them in and let this simmer for 2 hours
