CROCKPOT FRENCH ONION SOUP 🧅🧀🥖 I love using my crockpot for soups because it is SO much easier, so I tried making my French onion soup recipe in my crockpot, and it turned out so so well, and you don’t have to stand over the stove stirring onions for hours! NOTES: This takes about 6 hours to make in the crockpot, so I always start the soup around lunchtime so it’s ready in time for dinner. This recipe serves about 4-5 people! I also love using beef bone broth in place of normal beef broth because it is higher in protein and makes the soup more filling! INGREDIENTS: - 6 sweet onions or vidalia onions - 1 tbsp butter - 1 tsp brown sugar - 1 tsp salt + 1/4 tsp pepper (add more to taste) - 2 tbsp all purpose flour - 32 oz beef broth (I use bone broth to add protein) - 3 large pieces of crusty white bread (I use sourdough) - 4 oz shredded gruyere cheese - Diced green onions or chives for garnish (optional) HOW TO: - Slice the onions in half then into thin half-moon slices. - Add the sliced onions, butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper to your crockpot. - Set the crockpot to ‘high’. - Stir the onions every 30 minutes or so. They will start to soften, then will start to turn light brown, and eventually will become caramelized and a deep golden color. This takes about 3-4 hours, so just stir every 30 mins-1 hour! - Once the onions are very soft and caramelized sprinkle over 2 tbsp of flour and stir for 1-2 minutes (the flour helps thicken the soup). - Add the beef broth and stir until well combined. Taste and add extra salt + pepper to taste. Place the lid on the soup and let it come to a simmer - this takes about 30 minutes. - While the soup is heating lightly toast the bread and cut into 1-2 inch squares. Shred the gruyere cheese. - Once the soup is very hot give it one last stir, then arrange the bread floating on top of the soup. - Sprinkle over a layer of cheese then cover with the lid for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted. - Garnish with diced green onions or chives, serve and enjoy! 🫶 #frenchonionsoup #souprecipe #fallrecipe #cooking #dinneridea #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #soup

Easy high protein BLUEBERRY BAGELS 🥯🫐 I made high protein everything bagels in the air fryer a few weeks ago, and they turned out SO good I had to try a new flavor! These bagels are so easy to make - they don’t need to rise, you don’t need to boil them… they are just SO EASY! And turn out absolutely delicious! 😋 Each bagel also has 10g of protein which I love because it makes them a little more well-rounded and filling! Makes 4 bagels: ~200 calories, 10g protein, 33g carb, 3g fat each Note - these aren’t sweet bagels, they just have a hint of blueberry flavor (most store-bought blueberry bagels have artificial flavor added!) If you want a sweeter bagel, add 1 tbsp of stevia/monkfruit/sugar to the dough! Ingredients: - 1 + 1/4 cups all purpose flour - 1 1/2 tsp baking powder - 1/4 tsp salt - 1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt - 1/4 cup blueberries (I used frozen) - 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil How to: - Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a bowl and stir together. - Add the greek yogurt and stir until the dough comes together in a ball, then fold in the blueberries. - Knead the dough into a ball, then sprinkle flour on to your counter and press the dough into a ball. You can sprinkle on extra flour if the dough is too sticky. - Slice the dough into 4 pieces, then form each piece into a bagel shape. - Brush the tops of each bagel with melted butter or coconut oil. - Line air fryer basket with parchment paper, add the bagels (try not to let them touch). - Air fry at 350F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway so both sides get golden brown. Or bake in the oven at 350F for 30 mins! - Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy! 🫶 #healthyrecipes #easyrecipe #highprotein #bagels #highproteinbagels #easyrecipe #healthycooking #breakfast

HEALTHY CHICKEN NUGGETS 🍗🔥😋(gf & low carb!) You guys know I LOVE making healthier versions of my favorite foods, and chicken nuggets are definitely at the top of my list (and my husbands!!) I have made them a few different ways in the past, but these almond flour chicken nuggets are my FAVORITE! They are so easy to make in one bowl (no messy dipping stations), and they are SO crispy and delicious! Bonus points because using almond flour also means they are gluten free, and low carb! I hope you enjoy 🫶 Ingredients: - 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast - 1/2 tbsp olive oil - 1/2 cup almond flour - 1 tsp paprika - 1/2 tsp garlic powder - 1/2 tsp onion powder - 1/2 tsp salt - olive oil spray How to: - Slice the chicken breast into 1-2 inch cubes. - Add the chicken to a mixing bowl and toss in 1/2 of a tbsp of olive oil. - In a small bowl mix together the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. - Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken, and toss well to coat. You will see that some of the breading goes to the bottom of the bowl, but just keep tossing until most of it is stuck to the chicken. - Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with olive oil. Add the chicken in a single layer, then spray the tops with olive oil. - Air fry at 400F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Toss gently halfway so the bottoms get crispy too! Serve with your favorite sauce (recipe for healthier chick-fil-a sauce below) and enjoy! To make the healthier chick-fil-a sauce just whisk together: - 3 tbsp plain greek yogurt - 1 tbsp avocado oil mayo - 1 tsp mustard - 1 tbsp bbq sauce - 1 tbsp honey #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #healthyeating #cleaneating #healthycooking #chickennuggets #airfryer #airfryerrecipe #highprotein #mealprep #healthychickennuggets
