How do you solve a problem like a “stale bagel”?

Repurpose it! And, if you do it right, you may just find that some recipes actually taste better when the bread is older. For our first #WhyWasteFoodWedesday recipe we have chosen bagels because in addition to being a totally fun food to repurpose, it also happens to be #BagelDay!
