Holidaze w Bruegger s Bagels by Megan on December 11, 2017 It can be overwhelming to decorate for the holidays. But ya know what helps? Carb-loading. I recommend arming yourself with friends, Cranberry Orange Bruegger s Bagels, Cranberry Orange Mimosas and all the cookie and craft supplies.Add sprinkles to your bagel! Top it with a cookie! Yolo the hell out of this month. Not to be typical, you see, but rather to make it through. It s a pressure-y time of year, so let s lay off and go easy on ourselves. Only have time to make 4 pom-poms? I bet they re really cute. Wanna eat a bagel, nap, then eat another? Live your life.Do yourself a favor and get your bagels catered while you re at it! And OMG, the Cranberry Orange bagels are available for a limited time so to grab them while you can. Hurry!Full disclosure:I was paid by Bruegger’s Bagels to promote their product. But don’t let that make you feel weird. My love for turning bagels as holiday motivation is real. Thanks for supporting the sponsors that help me keep doing what I love.SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave{ 0 comments } Pumpkin Bagel Bread Pudding by Megan on September 27, 2017 My favorite thing about bread pudding is that it s SO DELICIOUS. My second favorite thing about bread pudding is that it s basically French toast. My third favorite thing about it is that it can be made with bagels, and Bruegger s Bagels recently launched their super-tasty pumpkin bagels just in time for fall, and this bread pudding is so happy about it!(Favorite thing number three is something I just recently learned with this recipe. I have Bruegger’s and baked French toast to thank. If I m honest, this probably was made with less than 6 bagels because Elliot and I sampled so many while we were letting them dry out to absorb milky sweet custard.) I baked these bagel nuggets in my favorite big enamel casserole dish, but I wouldn t put it past ya to bake them in individual cups. (Even tho it looks cute scooped and garnished after! See below.) This tastes perfectly pumpkin-y spiced. It s like breakfast pumpkin pie or a bread sundae (in a good way!) or the perfect fall-time porch dessert. What s cool about it is that it s assembled the night before! And the caramel can be made early too! So pop this in the fridge and then cook it while dinner s being eaten. The guests AND THE WORLD will be so happy that you thought ahead like a real Ina. Pumpkin Bagel Bread Pudding w Caramel Saucebread pudding:6 Bruegger’s pumpkin spice bagels1 1/2 cups fat-free (skim) milk1 1/2 cups whole milk1/2 cup heavy whipping cream1/2 cup granulated sugar1/4 cup canned unseasoned pumpkin puree 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1 tablespoon vanilla3 large eggs, beaten caramel sauce: 1 cup sugar2 T light corn syrup1/4 cup water1/2 cup heavy cream1 t kosher salt 1/4 cup sour creamCut bagels into bite-size cubes; place on tray. Cover with clean dish towel to dry out a bit. (A few hours-overnight)While bagel cubes are drying out, in 2-quart saucepan, heat both milks, cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cinnamon, vanilla and pumpkin puree for 5 minutes or until warm throughout, stirring constantly. Beat eggs into mixture. Dunk bagel cubes into milk-egg mixture; place in greased  casserole dish. Repeat with all of the bagel pieces. Pour with remaining milk to cover the mixture (Or most of it, you don t wanna drown the bagels.) Cover unbaked bread pudding; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Meanwhile make the caramel sauce. Combine the sugar and corn syrup with water in a medium saucepan, stirring carefully as to not splash the side of the pan. Cook over high heat until a kitchen thermometer reads 350 degrees F or until the mixture is a dark amber in color, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat, and slowly add the cream, and then the fleur de sel. Whisk in the sour cream and set aside to cool. Transfer to a jar and chill until time to serve bread pudding. Re-warm for easy drizzling.Heat oven to 350°F. Remove pudding from refrigerator; uncover. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; serve warm with caramel sauce and whipped cream if you want! Sprinkle with cinnamon, if you re feeling it!Full disclosure:I was paid by Bruegger’s Bagels to promote their product. But don’t let that make you feel weird.

And you better believe, I m living my life that way! I dyed my hair pink, I m going to pool parties, I m going on long walks, I m grilling pizza bagels. And I m gonna tell you how to do it. (Specifically the bagel part.)First, you gotta head to http://bit.ly/2v3vEoy and then visit your local Bruegger s for their Labor Day steal of a deal of $3 off their Big Bagel Bundle. Arm yourself with bagels and pizza toppings, and definitely friends.If you wanna top ur pizzas with veggies or pineapple, grill them first! I tossed the small button mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper and set it on foil on a 375F grill for about 15 minutes until the mushrooms were tender. I grilled pineapple right on the grates! Prep the toppings and maybe let your friends top their bagel the way they want. Def try to keep an Everything bagel for yourself. Or on second thought, maybe only offer Everything bagels?It only takes about 10 minutes for the cheese to get super bubbly on a 375F grill. Just eat it like a cookie in your backyard. If pieces fall on the ground I bet there s a dog at your party to help ya out.So do yourself a favor and grill up pizza bagels because you know what they say when pizza is on a bagel you can eat pizza anytime. 3Full disclosure:I was paid by Bruegger’s Bagels to promote their product.

Then a few more forkfuls of this chicken salad right out of the jar! It s really good. The kind you re so excited to eat that you end up standing up in the kitchen dunking crackers in it. The kind you pack for lunch to share with your boyf. The kind you recommend over that weird deli biz every time.There s no mayo up in here. The creamy base is made up of Bruegger s Cucumber Dill cream Cheese (yum!), Greek yogurt, a big squeeze of lemon and a lil bit of olive oil for smooth whisking. I marinated the chicken in lemon juice/salt/pepper/olive oil, but this biz would be even easier if you buy cooked chicken, but honestly it s a breeze regardless.Greek Chicken SaladServings vary, ok?Ingredients:2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed (bite size/ ½ inch!1/4 cup Bruegger sCucumber Dill Cream Cheese1/4 cup plain Greek yogurtjuice of 1 small lemon, about 2 T1-2 T olive oil½ cup chopped cherry tomatoes + more for garnish¼ cup choppd kalamata olives + more for garnish1/8 diced cup banana peppers + more for garnish½ cup cucumber + more for garnishpita chips, to serveDirections:Whisk together the cream cheese, yogurt, lemon juice and olive oil. Stir in the remaining ingredients (leaving some each veggie for garnish), except for the pita chips, obvz.  Serve on pita chips w additional veggies on top. Or serve on greens tossed lightly with lemon juice and olive oil. Maybe even serve on toast with avocado!

You guys, these cookies are so cute and tasty. The truth is the idea stemmed from wanting to make lemon poppy seed cookies shaped like a dog because Elliot had fleas recently. Thought the vet would think it was funny. Ended not having any poppy seeds and I always have sprinkles, so here you are! Going to a cookie exchange? Need 3 dozen cookies? Make these tiny. Everyone loves a teeny cookie! Everyone also loves a cookie with eye balls. IDK! Just know they re tasty, easy and well, if you want one I have some for ya to try before ya commit.{ 7 comments } Chobani Meze Dipping All Weekend by Megan on July 3, 2016 Last weekend, I went to NYC and stayed in SOHO and sipped beers on the rooftop of my hotel. This last minute trip was like the universe giving me a present that I could dunk into savory yogurt.On the way I saw cute clouds that I d dip grilled veggies in.

It s really a dream way to live.And can you believe this edible wall?! You can just grab some produce off the wall and snack on it. SNACK ATTACK decor, ya ll.I miss you already, New York.

The trip was a dream, and those Meze Dips tho.Full disclosure: While this trip was sponsored by Chobani all the opinions above are my own. I wanna dip errything in these dips.{ 4 comments } Pasta Salad Three Ways by Megan on May 4, 2016 I am really into pasta, would maybe even say I have a passion for it. I ve been known to get a mac and cheese for one together and bake it for the time frame it takes me to run 3 miles. POW. Anyhow, while it s super tasty with tons of cheese, hopes, dreams and sauce on top, it also can be part of a healthy meal or even a solid lunch idea.So that s part of what Passion for Pasta is all about — being passionate about pasta and passionate about eating it, cooking with it, making it, shaping it, sharing it and preparing it. Sharing your passions with others, ya know? Bringing a lunch to a friend at work, even! And all the while keeping in mind that not all carbs are created equal. Here are a few recipes that help me express my passion for pasta.Farfalle Pasta Salad with Smoked Salmon and YogurtI love farfalle pasta. AKA, bowtie. AKA, super-cute. It pairs like a dream with some smoked salmon, plain yogurt, capers, tomato, egg and fried onions. Kinda reminds me of the breakfast remix to a cute bagel-wich.Italian Pasta Salad with Balsamic Vinegar I might name my next pet Macaroni. Or daughter, even. Look at these curly guys. They must do yoga, ya think? And maybe I’ll name my son Al Dente after the perf way to cook pasta. (AKA, slightly firm.)Toss them in a jar with crispy prosciutto, basil, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and bebe mozzarella balls. Your work frenz will probably pay for your pedicure if you bring them this.Asian Pasta Salad with SeaweedI like to think of Orzo as the confetti of pasta.Boil it up and make this Asian-inspired salad jar. Shrimp, edamame, seaweed salad and soy sauce. Pow. Lunch was saved again! And, real talk, isn’t it fun that pasta dishes can be put together with ingredients you have on hand? Pantry pasta is what’s up.Find all three recipes on Passion for Pasta! Check things out on social with #PassionForPasta, too, while you’re at it!Full Disclosure: I partnered with Passion for Pasta to make these salads! They supplied the cute pasta and recipes, and I supplied the confetti and gold flatware. While this was a partnership, all the opinions above are my own.{ 2 comments }
