Bagel Bites
My mom would buy them in bulk and my sister and I would heat ’em up in the toaster oven.
My lunch today was an ode to my former love of these lil’ bites. Admittedly, my lunchtime bagel bite was much larger than the little guys from my past.
Pizza Bagel
My grown up version used an Alternative sweet wheat bagel as the crust.
I topped the bagel with tomato basil marinara sauce, sliced plum tomato, spinach and Sargento reduced fat Mexican cheese (my faaaavorite shredded cheese).
Some Cheese If You Please
I cooked it in the toaster oven until the bagel was crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside and the cheese was ooey-gooey and melted.
Yummy Pizzahhh
This lunch would have made young-Julie quite proud. Old-Julie liked it too. 😉
Cheesy

My favorite after school snack used to be about a pound of chips and a gallon of salsa…ha! I wouldn’t really eat anything all day at school, so I’d be FAMISHED by the time I got home…
bagel bites suck now
If you are wondering why I am just commenting on this post now, it is because I just found you blog late last night and LOVE it!! I didn’t want to miss a beat so I started from the beginning.
Every day after school I used to have Ritz cracker and peanut butter sandwiches. However, I insisted I make them myself (I was only about 5 when this started) so the jar would get super gross and messy. No one else would dare eat out of it so I always had my own peanut butter jar for after school!!!
