I can't help but love bagels!!

Bagels are super carby, it's true... super dense dough, boiled then baked. I have to say, I've felt better about them since Mark started making them at home. (what's a "southern" girl to do??! LOL) Anyways, this way, we were able to get our "bagel fix" but watch the portions and the ingredients. He likes to use unbleached flour, and I think he's even tried a mix of whole wheat and the unbleached... we haven't mastered using all whole wheat... the stuff seems to fall apart without that 50/50 ratio. We make them a decent size... my biggest problem with a bagel and cream cheese is that I can't seem to justify all the calories because I feel like I'm getting no nutritional value whatsoever...
