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. 

Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Chicken alfredo is one of our favorite family dinners... this screams comfort food for my family. Kailee has been taking more of an interest in learning to bake and cook. She just loves the idea of being in the kitchen with her mom and I LOVE the idea of her helping me in the kitchen too.
You Will Need:
4 Cooked Chicken Breast
1 Box Noodles, cooked 
2 1/2 Cups Milk 
3 tbsp Minced Garlic
1/4 Cup Butter
4 tbsp Flour
1 Cup Shredded Parmesan 
1 Can Peas 
1 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
Dried Parsley
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Start by boiling water for you noodles, once boiled add noodles until cooked throughly 
Melt butter in skillet
While melting butter, add your garlic (I like extra garlic, but you can add or take out whatever amount you wish)
Add flour and allow to cook for 1 minute to get rid of the "floury" taste
Add milk and bring to a boil, watching and stirring often (I salt and pepper at this stage and end)
Add cheese
Taste. If you need more salt/pepper add it
Nice and thick sauce.. 
Add parsley
Whisk together (keep it cooking)
Add noodles and stir well (this should still be cooking)
Cut up chicken (I am using left over chicken)
Add chicken to the sauce, and peas
This was so good, you can take out the peas if you do not want them and added cherry tomatoes or just leave it as is. ENJOY!
