  30. This blog post about pizza bagels by Julie over at My Apologies For The Novel. (Thanks!)
I saw Julie’s blog post about pizza bagels when I woke up this morning and I really wished that I could have made them for breakfast! I thought about them all day and finally found myself at the grocery store looking for toppings. The stars aligned and bagels were on sale -- as many as you could fit into a paper bag for $2.99! I managed to squeeze in nine. Pizza bagel goodness ensued. I topped ours with sauce, FYH mozzarella, onion, olives, mushrooms and green pepper. 

Happy Friday! :)
