Homemade Bagel Bites

Ingredients:
3 mini bagels, halved
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup turkey pepperoni slices
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Cover a large baking sheet with foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Spread each bagel half with a layer of pizza sauce. Sprinkle each one with some
mozzarella cheese and a few pieces of pepperoni. Arrange the bagel bites on the
prepared baking sheet.
4. Season each bagel bite with a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
5. Bake the bagel bites for 8 to10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce
is very hot. Remove the bagel bites from the oven and sprinkle each one with a little
Parmesan cheese and some chopped basil.
FRIED OKRA
Okra, a favorite ingredient in gumbo, can also be braised, baked, or fried. In the fast-
food chicken restaurants in Florida, fried okra is often on the menu. You can serve this
for lunch or as an appetizer. It’s especially good in the summer.
