I have my homemade bagels recipe like I want it and it is time to move on and learn something new. We used to pay 55 cents each for bagels and now I make a dozen for about 90 cents. It is also time to restock the cupcake container in the freezer. As empty nesters we find this to be the perfect way to have a small dessert on hand. They keep very well and we cannot tell a difference from fresh even 6 weeks after they go into the freezer. momma-lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975411711120382015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-43702067505210847702014-03-10T07:09:10.249-05:002014-03-10T07:09:10.249-05:00Yum!

Your husband's friend must have quite the crop! Nuts are so expensive to buy. I want to make the black/white cookies, too. Good job making all your bread this year.

The cost? $4 per cookie. You are definitely making out like a bandit with that recipe. I think he might get a homemade one next time! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321320225921107392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-38476101689391177532014-03-08T21:16:42.549-06:002014-03-08T21:16:42.549-06:00Yum!
