Regards

My friend Emily emailed me last night to pass along a new recipe for some cookies she had invented recently. The cookies are called “Regards“, so you can literally “send your regards” to someone.
These are essentially coconut-oat-fruit cookies, but have a delicious twist to them. I actually varied from the recipe Emily gave […]

2/3 cup shortning
Filling:
1 bunch of washed and chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion

Pizza Bagels

You’ve seen the advertisements on TV. Maybe. If you were lucky. The ads had a catchy little jingle that went something like, “Pizza Bagels, eat them all the time, even dinner time!”
We’re gonna take the idea and run with it. Why spend a ton of money on a Djorno Pizza, or even pizza hut when […]

Mini Bagels

I was going through the archives of Delicious Days and found that they posted a recipe and photos of mini bagels on my birthday, way back in January! How could I have missed it?!
The post is titled “Cute, Cuter, mini bagels” and their photos prove exactly that. You can’t but help just want to start […]

The Bagel Machine

If I asked you how many bagels a team of 4 people could make in an hour, most people guess around 100 to 300 bagels each. If they were really good. Most people are very wrong.
The Thompson Bagel Machine changed the entire bagel industry, back in 1963.
Daniel Thompson relates the huge technological innovation of […]

Bagel Glasses

Some people might think that the bagel is just for eating. The truth is that it’s abilities are far more than anyone ever expects. Just the other day, I lost my glasses and had to rush out somewhere. Not wanting to crash into anyone I decided to pull a Macgyver and use what I had […]

Bagels vs Bread

So you want to make a sandwich, huh?
STOP! Don’t grab the bread. Grab a bagel. Here’s why:
Bagels aren’t easily smashed.
When you’re brown bagging your lunch, you have to be careful. Sandwiches made with bread just aren’t the same after someone accidentally steps on your lunch repeatedly. With a bagel, you’ll barely be able […]

Keeping Bagels Fresh

Brueggers Bagels have been around the block, long enough to know a few things at least, and they’ve published a collection of tips and tricks on how to keep your bagels FRESH.
Their best advice is the advice they give first. As any cook or baker would tell you, “enjoy the food on the day it’s […]

1/4 red onion
1/4 white onion
whipped cream cheese
Your Favorite Bagel
Instructions:
1. Take your favorite bagel, cut it in […]

Ninja Bagels

Ninjas have a hard time, sneaking around and not getting caught. I have never seen a ninja at bagel shop - or anywhere for that matter. This lead me to believe that one of the following must be true: ninja don’t exist or there are secret bagel shops made specifically for ninjas, and only ninjas […]
