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. 

Spring Rolls

This is the first time I have ever made spring rolls and let me tell you, I have extra everything and plan to make more for the freezer! They are amazing!! Holy COW!!! Everyone goes nuts over these suckers! Yes, it took me a minute to figure out how to roll these, but once I got it, I was rolling away!!! I was always so scared to try making my own but boy oh boy I am so glad I gave it a test! These ROCK!! I made served them with my fried rice!
You Will Need:
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Cups Cabbage, chopped
2 Cups Shredded Carrots
2 Cups Bean Sprouts
1/4 Onion, chopped
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
2 tbsp Corn Starch
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Water
Peanut Oil, for frying
Egg Roll Wraps
Salt & Pepper
Chop cabbage
Add all the veggies; carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage, and onion to a skillet (heat skillet with olive oil first) add ginger, salt and pepper 
Cook on medium high for 5-7 minutes (do not want soft, leave a bit of a crunch to them)
Add water and cornstarch to a bowl or measuring cup
Add the soy sauce to the measuring up and mix well
Should look like this
Add to pan and cook 3 more minutes
Place 2 tbsp on the corner of your wrap; fold covering the filling, then fold again (take in sides and roll stopping just before closing; brush water on end and roll up)
Putting my girl to work! While folding your rolls, start heating your peanut oil over medium high heat
Fry for 4 minutes per side
So good!
