BAGELS OH HOW I LOVE THEE

 If you know me you know I love a good bagel. My love for bagels has grown over the years....I use to be your basic Jane...plain bagel, plain cream cheese! I know not the most exciting thing and I would just go to Panera to get it! Then as I got older I branched out and would get CRAZY with my order....poppyseed with veggie or sesame seed with veggie cream cheese.....BAHAHAHA....not so crazy. I still loved them and bagels will always be my downfall! 

Josh introduced me to my new love in bagels. I had it first in Georgia at a hole in the wall shop called Sunny's Bagel and Deli...if you ever come to visit we will go there. They are the sweetest people and have such a variety of different bagel sandwiches. He like a Lox bagel and now that is MY GO TO! I have learned to make it at home and I love it. My oldest also likes it now. She doesn't get all the toppings but we make it for her at home from time to time. 

New York Bagels are where it is at! I don't know what they use! (JK I have read some stuff and been told....it's the water they use! New York water apparently is different from other water when making bagels.) I don't care what it is...I AM HERE FOR IT!!! 

First up is Russ and Daughters. This one comes with so much.... 

3 different kinds of Smoked Salmon, tub of cream cheese, capers, bagels....we also ordered some potato latkes, and pumpernickel bread! Oh and it also comes with a sweet reusable bag for cold things. All of the items were delicious...we ate on these for a bit and it was delicious EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! The potato latkes (this was my first time having them) were so much better than I expected. Just warm them in the oven and you are set. (Ordered from Goldbelly)



I am now A HUGE fan of Lox bagels! I don't want them any other way. I have started experimenting with different cheeses on my bagels....thank you to a sweet friend! If you have not tried Lox bagels then you need to! It is delicious....bagel, cream cheese, red onion, smoked salmon, and capers. It is so delicious and everyone should try it. 



The next New York bagel we ordered was H&H Bagels. (Ordered from Goldbelly) We got a dozen bagels, two different kinds of spread, and of course smoked salmon. This was just as delicious as Russ and Daughters. It's so hard to decide which one is better because NEW YORK BAGELS are where it's at. 


We have ordered bagels I think around 4 times now and they have all been from New York.
 Russ and Daughters is a favorite of ours. 

How do you like your bagels? I am always looking for new bagels to try. New York bagels have most bagels beat! Even shipped they are the best. I can't wait to go to New York and have a bagel there freshly made! All this talk of bagels makes me want to order some more! 

Until we eat again!

The pandemic hit and we were like well why not do more for breakfast! We use to do whatever to get out of the door to school and work. Whatever was easiest! Then we were all home and had the time to try and make new things so that's what we did. Here are some things we tried during our time at home......some were a hit....some were a miss....some we have made into our monthly rotation.  First up is Shirred Eggs.....when the hubby first mentioned these I had never heard of them or even had them, but I was willing to try. We actually made them this morning, They are very simple and have a great taste. You put the meat (ham, sausage, leftover ground meat, whatever) in the bottom of the (today we had ham steak in it). Then you top it with 2 eggs, salt, pepper, cheese and the most important ingredient of the whole dish....BUTTER!!!! Eat with a side of toast to soap up all the buttery goodness.  Another new one was Okonomiyaki! Can you say it??? This was delicious and I was a little worr

 Who can name the band that sang that song??? It's only one of my childhood favorite bands!!! I'll tell you at the end of this...if you last that long. Georgia is on the agenda for today. We now live in Georgia and the food has been something that I find lacking......HOWEVER I have found some things that I do enjoy! Peaches for one is something that does not disappoint.....something else that doesn't is PECAN PIE!!!!  I love a good pecan pie....anytime of the year. I make my grandma's recipe whenever I can. I also make her pecan tarts and they just make my heart happy. We ordered from Savannah Candy Kitchen . Like I said I just love a good pecan pie!  This pie was delicious and I HIGHLY recommend that you get it. If you love pecan pie as much as I do...you should just go ahead and order it. You can get it from Savannah Candy Kitchen website or you can get it here too! Just depends on how many pies you want.  Also Georgia Peaches are juicy and delicious! We got these fr

 BBQ is a way of life....when it's done right it is delicious. Joe's Kansas City BBQ knows how to do it. As it states on their site ...."In Kansas City, where barbecue is a way of life, it is understood that smoke has mystical properties. Smoke has the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. It can transform the least desirable cuts of meat into the most delectable. It can even transform a neighborhood corner gas station into one of the most popular restaurants on the planet."  Their story is a one that should inspire those who want to follow a passion. This is a husband and wife team (Jeff and Joy) who bought a smoker and entered BBQ contest and winning many of them. A list of all their trophies can be found here . They went into business with a man named Joe Don Davidson, who found and owned Oklahoma Joe's Smoker Company in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The three of them opened the first Oklahoma Joe's in 1996. In 1997 Joe sold his smoker business an
