Awesome! I have an abundance of zucchini right now, this is perfect thanks!

Phew, it's been a while, but the blog (and it's author) are back up. My apologies to all for the long hiatus. Recently, my personal life went sideways (thank you again for all of your support!) but things are mostly back on track and, at the very least, life feels stable/safe again, even if I have no idea what the future holds. More here if you really want to know.

But now the reason you're really here - the food.

Today's weekly recipe features pizza Bagels. It's been a great long while since I've had a chewy, slightly tough bagel, and this hits the mark almost perfectly!

Eat them, love them, and let me know what you think.

Do you ever miss brunch? This is for you!

This looks good.

I do have what may be a silly question. Would I have to change anything (temp, etc) if I made this in a muffin tin in a toaster oven? I don't have a bagel pan.

[Smye 694]

@@Inner Surfer Girl, I wouldn't change anything, other than maybe lower the temp by 10-20F or so, just to slow down the bake a bit to ensure the center is properly cooked without burning the edges. Just be sure to use a good nonstick spray. Oh, and do let me know what you think!

@@Tanika81, I do indeed. Is there anything in particular you had in mind? No promises, but I should be able to get at least in the general vicinity.

[Smye 694]

Several of you have asked why I've been sporadic at best lately. I've responded to several of you, and your outpouring of support has been invaluable, but the requests keep coming. That said, I think it's just easier to post here. Long story short - my wife of 7 years and partner of 17 years has recently come out to me as gay. For full details, you can find my other blog here.

Don't worry though, more recipes ARE in the works and coming down the pike... be patient my friends.

Also, @@Tanika81, is there something specific you want?

[BackSpin81 350]

Oh, @@Smye are you okay? Surely, you have more than enough on, in and going through your mind than to worry about posting recipes. However, thank you for thinking of me. But for now, Cookies can wait. If you need support please reach out. ????

[Smye 694]

Thanks @@Tanika81, I really appreciate it. Though I'll admit that new recipes are fun/peace-giving for me. That's actually abig part of why I haven't posted much lately, most of my latest creations have just been too time-intensive or dependent upon precision to make their way onto the blog which is geared (mostly) towards relatively quick and easy.

And yeah - there's a lot going through my mind, in my life, etc... but at least I get to post about it and get some online support that way.

My Baribread was runny. What did I do wrong?

Peanut Butter Protein Cookies - @@Tanika81

[Smye 694]

@@sbagby1960, I'm going to guess you either 1) Underwhipped your meringue (or left a smidge of yolk in it) collapsing the structure or 2) over mixed the cream cheese, again collapsing the Protein structure of the meringue.

Where in the process did it go runny on you?

[sbagby1960 65]

I'm gonna say I probably did both. Not much of a baker, gonna try again. Thanks!! Your recipes are so helpful.

[Smye 694]

@@sbagby1960, do let me know how it goes - I'm eager to hear of your success. Was it runny before baking or after?
