22 bagel recipes

Sweetness from maple syrup and the warmth of cinnamon. Perfect spreading onto a cinnamon raison bagel or zucchini bread.

A creamy and delicious dip is also much lower fat. Serve it with carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, tortilla chips or bagel chips or crackers.

Tagliatelle with poached salmon and a cream cheese horseradish dill sauce, finished with bright herbs for a pasta dinner that tastes like a smoked salmon bagel in bowl form. Ready in 40 minutes.

Orange yogurt cheese spread made with nonfat yogurt cheese, fresh orange juice, and orange zest. A light, citrusy spread for bagels, toast, or pancakes that doubles as a fruit dip.

Beau's notes: * There are no "jalapeno beans;" there are jalapeno peppers and pinto beans. I have two recipes, both of which are quite tref, but a Catholic should worry? But if you are hosting a Jewish person, smoked turkey will substitute most agreeably for the chazer called for in either recipe.]

Keep these in the freezer and enjoy anytime you feel like having something sweet. Perfect with an afternoon cup of tea or coffee.
