“ Pizza in the morning,
Pizza in the evenin’,
Pizza at suppertime!
When pizza’s on a bagel,
You can eat pizza anytime! “
Who remembers that catchy 90s commercial? I remember every time I saw it I would beg my Mom to buy Bagel Bites, unfortunately (fortunately?) my parents were never ones to buy frozen meals or snacks so I would have to relish my Bagel Bites at friend’s houses. They were good though!
I was really craving a Pizza Bagel today and had actually been dreaming about it at work. Unfortunately when I made it to my kitchen to prepare lunch I discovered the Swiss Cheese I wanted to use was moldy and the pasta sauce had disappeared. So I did what I did best and improvised!
I used a small Wheat Alternative Bagel then topped it with Trader Joes’s Tomato Chutney, Brie Cheese from my Long Beach Thank You Basket, Mushrooms and Jalapenos. I put the Pizza Bagels under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until the cheese was somewhat melty.
It was good!!!! Improvising always leads to creative delicious dishes that are so fun. I love it!
With my Pizza Bagels I had left over Steamed Kale & Apple.
Don’t ask me why the apples turned purple. They do look pretty though.
And you can probably expect to see a serving of Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Pretzel with every lunch until they are all gone.
I can’t help it. They’re sooo good!!! At least I am limiting myself to one serving a day instead of downing the whole bag like the evil fat girl voice in the back of my head is telling me to do. lol
Before lunch I had a snack of a individually portioned bag of Trail Mix I had picked up at Trader Joes.
I loved all the single packs of trail mix they sold there!! It may not be the most environmentally friendly, but its definitely convenient. 🙂
What are some of your favorite commercial jingles that get stuck in your head? I can sing for you both the Big Red & Doublemint commercials, no problem. As well as Kit Kat and who could forget the Mentos? 🙂
Remember the Kid Sister and My Buddy jingles from back in the day….
I think I am going to have this stuck in my head the rest of the day now, haha:
Uhh…sorry, I had no idea it was going to post the video…..
yay for improvisation! and those apples ARE super pretty – i thought maybe they were chunks of onions, at first!
ooh, I used to love bagel bites! total summer memories right there 🙂
My favorite jingles:
My Buddy
the klondike song
mentos!
doublemint
kit kat, for sure
Darn you! I’m going to have that stupid jingle stuck in my head for three weeks now!
now I have that jingle in my head! I think we has some of those bagel bites in my freezer right now for my fiancée lunches.
Not a jingle but the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song is one that always gets stuck in my head!
Ah, I totally remember the jingle for Bagel Bites! I think my mom bought them once and I didn’t like them. 🙂
YUM! Pizza is the best! 🙂 Hmmm . . . makes me want to break out the bagels that are sitting in my freezer.
“I want my BABY BACK…BABY BACK…BABY BACK….CHILLEEEEES baby back ribs, Chili’s baby back ribs….BBQ sauce!”
My life is complete now. Thank you.
For the past few days I’ve had the Hillshire farms song stuck in my head. “Hey cheif, whats happn’n, thats some serious meat your stacking!”
Hillshire farm, go meat!
I love the My Buddy song! Ha.
Oh geez, now I have those jingles stuck in my head!
Great way to improvise on your “Bagel Bites”. They look delish!
MMMM that looks fabulous! Perhaps I should try a variation for dinner….. Looks so colourful and tasty!
Great simple, homemade pizza. I wouldn’t think to use a bagel!

OMG one summer my mom allowed me to get Bagel Bites from Costco and I would eat them for lunch every.day. Luckily I still had a ltitle girl’s metabolism and I only ate like 5 for lunch, but that brought back memories haha!
There was a Christie’s Chewy cookie commercial that my best friend and I used to stand at the top of the stairs and sing for my Mom. (I’m not sure if it’s just a Canadian brand??)
Christie Chewy!
Christie Chewy!
Taste just like my Mom’s does.
The only one.
That’s so much fun.
The only one that tastes like Moooooooom’s does!
LOL.
hahahha…i totally remember that song! i want a pizza bagel now! or just pizza for that matter!
evil fat girl voice? healthy eating can still happen when you eat the whole bag, it’s all about listening to your body. I really don’t like the idea of an ‘evil’ fat girl voice, I don’t think it’s a healthy or helpful way to think (especially for those who might be reading who are recovering from eating issues).
HAHA love those 90s commercials…how about the Ovaltine ones haha or the Koolaid hahahahaha
Those pizza bagels look awesomeee
I definitely remember the Bagel Bites jingle – your pizza bagel looks much more yummy, though! I love brie cheese.
When I hear/see a commercial for Mattress Giant, I can’t get the jingly outta my head:
“OOoo ah, Ooo ah, only at mattress giant!”
The Subway $5 dollar foot long song is always in my head. Darn advertising geniuses!!!
I love commercial jingles and used to sing them all the time growing up, my cousin and I memorizied the order of a compilation cd commercial and sang bits of each son in the right order. we were such nerds!
You took mine-Mentos!
That plate looks to be filled with lots
yummy goodness!
Favorite jingle? Umm…the Skip It
commercials were always pretty
entertaining.
…And the very best thing of all!
Is there’s a counter on this ball-so try
and beat your very best score-it’s the
biggest fun of all.
(or something like that)
Runner-ups:
-Lite Brite
-Toys R Us Kid
My sister always sang that song! Oh bagel bites…
Love your take on them way more than the real thing 🙂
It’s not really a theme song but I’ll never forget the PIZZA!PIZZA! little caesar’s guy
Free credit report.com! What an incredible looking lunch 🙂
MMMMMMMMM YUM!!!
double your pleasure double your fun, that’t the….cant remember the rest! lol…Love the bagel!
I was totally thinking of My Buddy/Kid Sister…and then what did I find when I clicked to comment? A video! Great minds think alike!
YES! I remember that commercial!! I love reminiscing about the old school commercials – like those Mentos ones!
Did you steam the apples too? They are a really cool color.
Now I want a pizza bagel! Yours looks great! 🙂
The Stanley Steemer jingle is currently in my head. That might be a local company, I’m not sure.
i remember ALL those mentioned above…lately the subway 5$ foot long is in my head all the time…
