Books & Cooks Letter E: Everything Bagel

This year I’m going to be combining two of my passions – cooking and kid lit for Books & Cooks! I’ll be bringing you great recipes based on spices of the alphabet that pair perfectly with kid lit books! Next up? The letter E and Everything Bagel Seasoning!

Spice: Everything Bagel Seasoning

What more could you want? Everything Bagel Seasoning has absolutely everything! A nice savory flavor that you can use on bagels, for sure, but also avocado toast, popcorn, hummus, chicken, and so much more!

Book Review: The Bagel King by Andrew Larsen

This is the adorable story of a young boy and his strong relationship with his grandfather who brings bagels over every Sunday morning. But one day, he doesn’t come and the boy soon learns his grandfather is hurt and must stay in bed for two weeks! How will the young boy get his weekly bagel? And how will his grandfather’s other friends get their bagels? Maybe, there’s something the little boy can do!

Recipe: New York-Style Bagels

What better thing to pair with the recipe for Everything Bagel Seasoning (above) than a New York-Style Bagel? Chewy, salty, and warm from the oven, you don’t want to miss this recipe! Did you know that bagels (and soft pretzels) are dropped in boiling water before being baked? It’s true! Check out this recipe for a fun weekend activity the whole family can be a part of, plus you’ll have breakfast ready for everyone!

During the month of April, I’ll be participating in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge 2020. For my theme this year (Books & Cooks), I’ll be combing children’s books with cooking spices and including a recipe to bring the book into your very own kitchen! I love to cook and read, so I thought this would be a fun way to combine two of my passions. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! Let’s dig in! And if you want to see what I’ve done in the past, check out the past few years – 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019!
