My most recent "frugal addiction" is... homemade bagels! After our most recent guest chef, Bethany, shared about her homemade bagels, we made some.

I had never made bagels before, since for some reason I thought they were really complicated. They're not. They're actually really easy! And as might be guessed, hot, fresh bagels from the oven just don't even compare to bagels from the store!!

One batch of homemade bagels makes 12 large bagels. I was paying $5.00 for an equivalent amount of bagels from the grocery store! Our homemade ones tasted so much better, and I'm sure they're healthier, too. After my first homemade bagel, I knew I was going to have difficulty every buying a bagel from the store again.
