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. 

Four Cheese Ravioli

When I think about Italian foods my mind goes to my homemade ravioli's. These suckers take some time to make but let me tell you, it is well worth every minute you invest in this dinner! You will surely please anyone, and everyone who tries these! You can even cheat and use Organic Simple Truth canned pasta sauce (totally fine and makes it one less step).
You Will Need:
Pasta Dough
Pasta Sauce
16 oz Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
1 Ball Mozzarella Cheese
2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Parsley
2 Eggs
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Mix all the cheese, eggs, salt, pepper and parsley
Mix well
Roll out your pasta, I used a pasta roll attachment with my KitchenAid mixer (you can find here)
**let me tell you, that attachment is WORTH the money! you get 3 rollers!**
We pressed it through 1 about 4 times, folding after each
Then slowly worked towards a 4 (we rolled through the 2 once, and the 3 once)
The 4 is PERFECT thinness! 
Cut the stripe in half, and place one half on your floured counter (PLEASE FLOUR! I did not and they stuck) add 1 tbsp filling, leaving about 2-3 finger space in between
Add the second half you cut to the top, make sure you have no air in them as you cut
Cut with a ravioli stamp (stay tuned for possible GIVEAWAY of one)
They are too cute
Place on floured baking sheet until ready to boil
Fill stock pot with water, add salt and bring to boil, add 10 ravioli's at a time, once they start to float I let them cook another 3-5 minutes, then remove and drained
Add pasta sauce to a skillet, and add ravioli, cook tossing (be careful  not to spilt them, Daniel did twice) cook about 3 minutes just to warm sauce with them
There you have them! They are so amazing and so delicious!
