- School bells, calendar pings, one missing shoe—mornings happen fast. A simple “bagel station” brings order and joy: clear choices, quick assembly, and something everyone can say yes to.
Setup in 60 seconds:
- Bagels: sesame, everything, whole wheat, plus a few gluten-free (stored separately).
- Schmears: plain, chive, vegan lemon-herb.
- Toppings: tomato, cucumber, pickles, sprouts, and apple slices for the sweet corner.
Kid wins:
- The Crunchy Rainbow: plain + plain schmear + cucumber coins.
- Sweet Start: whole wheat + maple-cinnamon + apple.
Teen fuel:
- Everything + chive + tomato + pepper.
- Vegan Power: sesame + hummus + pickled onions + chili flake (optional).
Grown-up calm:
- GF Garden: GF everything + lemon-herb + avocado + dill.
- Classic lox combo on sesame with capers and lemon.
Order ahead for local pickup so the bag is on the counter when alarms go off. We’ll label GF and vegan clearly and can pre-slice for small hands. A good family loop doesn’t ask for perfection—just repeatable ease and warm, happy bites.
