Once Paul insinuated that Captain Crunch and Frosted Flakes were probably not allowed during our 21 day no junk food challenge, I had to get more creative with breakfast and a mid-morning snack.
I grew up with bagels and lox and can’t imagine my life without them. Other than the alfalfa sprouts, I always have the ingredients on hand for this little concoction. So, I ate this almost every day. And still am.
You could use regular sized bagels, but, um, has anyone noticed the size of mini bagels lately? They’re pretty substantial.
I know this is clearly not a grilled number, but it sure screams summer, no? And slicing up the avocado just got easier and more fun with the new OXO 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer. Check out the video to see how it works (my deepest apologies if the music gets stuck in your head all day.)
Here’s your chance to try and win one…
