Blueberry Bagels

It’s funny, right, how certain foods can take you straight back to a moment you didn’t even know you missed, and honestly, that’s exactly what happened to me with these blueberry bagels

So one weekend we decided to go on a small family trip and nothing fancy just a simple day out with snacks and laughs and a bit of chaos like always and I remember standing in the kitchen early in the morning thinking what should I make that feels special but also easy and fun and then it hit me why not try blueberry bagels even though I had never made them before and yes I was a little nervous not gonna lie

And guess what the first time I tried making them I totally messed up and the dough was too sticky and the blueberries started bursting everywhere and I just stood there like okay what is happening right now but somehow and with a bit of patience things started to come together and the smell that filled the kitchen was just wow like sweet and warm and comforting all at once
