Creative Bagel Challenge Continues
Can you say done? April is over and not one bagel recipe repeated. Tada! I wasn’t sure it could be done, but easier than I thought it would be. Thanks to yummy leftovers, early-morning coffee-infused ideas, and a little help from my rumbling tummy.
These creative, loaded bagels were all made using my favorite bagels, O’doughs. You may have a favorite of your own, but I need gluten-free and these are the bomb.
Hope these pics inspire and get your taste buds a-hoppin’.

Final Bagel of the April Challenge
This is the final bagel of the April challenge, but certainly not the last. As difficult as this sounded in the beginning, it ended up being super fun and creative. Also, April 30th is my mom’s birthday, so this one is for her. Happy Birthday, Mom!

Vegan Cream Cheese, Baby Spinach, Grilled Endive, Grilled Tomatoes, Roasted Turmeric Infused Cauliflower, Lime Zest!
DONE! NEVER!
There you have it, 30 days of yummy, taste-bud inspiring, bagel treats. I had my doubts, yet it happened. If I can do it, so can you!
All of the bagels were delicious, but I decided to leave you with one recipe I considered a bagel masterpiece; April 30’s Roasted Turmeric Infused Cauliflower bagel. Not only did it make a savory, loaded bagel, but can be transformed for dinner, lunch, snack, or a side dish.
If you come up with a creative bagel, share it with me. I would love to see what YOU can do with a simple, yet satisfying bagel. Have some fun!
