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. 

Chili

It is getting colder here in Ohio, so a nice bowl of chili sounds amazing!! I changed my dinner menu from pot roast to chili as it has been snowing on and off and is freezing. I try to make the chili more on the mild to medium ish side so the boys have a slight heat to it but us girls can stand eating it. Tonights chili was amazing! Best I have made so far. 
You Will Need:
2 lb Beef
2 Cans Tomato Sauce
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
1 Can Chili Beans
1 Can White Kidney Beans
1 6 oz Can Mushrooms
2 Chili Packets
Chili Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Garlic Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Onion Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Diced Onions (to season meat while cooking)
Salt & Pepper (to season meat while cooking)
You adjust the heat of your chili yourself, myself and my daughter likes a more mild-ish to medium-ish chili whereas my son and husband want hot hot. Be sure you taste as you cook for seasoning (salt and chili packets/spice). After I browned the seasoned beef, I added the rest of the ingredients with 1 can of water and let it simmer for an hour (the key to a GREAT chili is letting it simmer for hours. The longer the better, but I only could wait an hour while the cornbread cooked).
