Mathematically Correct Breakfast -- Mobius Sliced Linked Bagel. It is not hard to cut a bagel into two equal halves which are linked like two links of a chain. To start, you must visualize four key points. Center the bagel at the origin, circling the Z axis. A is the highest point above the +X axis. B is where the +Y axis enters the bagel. C is the lowest point below the -X axis. These sharpie markings on the bagel are just to help visualize the geometry and the points. The line ABCDA, which goes smoothly through all four key points, is the cut line.

The red line is like the black line but is rotated 180 degrees (around Z or through the hole). After being cut, the two halves can be moved but are still linked together, each passing through the hole of the other. If you visualize the key points and a smooth curve connecting them, you do not need to draw on the bagel. If your cut is neat, the two halves are congruent. It is much more fun to put cream cheese on these bagels than on an ordinary bagel. For future research: How to make Mobius lox... Food.

Banana Split Bites ~ A classic ice cream dessert gets mini for some bite size fun. And yes, there is actually a tiny scoop of ice cream tucked inside and underneath the whip cream of those little darlings. Banana Split Mini Bites For once I made something mini for portion control and not just for the cute factor. My little guy had some friends over the other day and of course with a mom who is a baker, the expectation is dessert will not only be good but it will be fun. And I was asked, by friend Caroline, not to let her boys eat too much dessert.

Keeping all things in mind what I served is what you see here. Here’s what wasn’t a hit and what I learned. Impromptu play dates with four kid’s ages 3-5 year olds after a full work day –not a good idea.Know in advance what other kids will and won’t eat. Luckily, dessert made all things right.

You know the story - girl meets recipe and falls in love after seeing recipe across the crowded internet. The recipe looks a bit different from what she is used to so girl is instantly intrigued. After the first tempting glimpse, girl can't get recipe out of her mind. Recipe even features in girl's dream that evening. Girl wakes up, thanks the gods of culinary fate that she has the ingredients to make that recipe and so begins the love story of the girl who met a Zebra cake.

The End. ]( 5. Bite-Sized Cherry &Strawberry "Pop Tarts" - StumbleUpon. Sometimes it's the little things. Like being able to swing your legs out of bed and slide your feet into fuzzy slippers to shield you from the chill on the floor. Like shuffling half-asleep and blurry-eyed into the kitchen and having the sweet scent of freshly brewed coffee to welcome you. Like pouring that first cup of elixir, stirring in a splosh of milk and sandy sprinkling of brown sugar and then lifting it waiting lips and drinking in your first sip of morning magic. Let me go back a few months.

We're talking to the end of last Spring or so. Back to the day that my coffee maker broke. One day it just wouldn't lift the water up and through its hose to shower over those dark grounds any more.

In fact, I’m sure if you were to ask my children what they wanted to eat, their response would probably be noodles. I like to make meals my family enjoys, but you all know just how boring the same thing can be when you eat it over and over again.

So I’m constantly looking for inspiration to turn our go-to meals into something that is just a tad bit different. And that is exactly what I did when I saw this wonderful pasta recipe! I used whole wheat pasta, but if you aren’t a fan, I’m sure regular white pasta would taste just as good. Creamy Avocado Pasta A yummy whole wheat pasta with avocado.
