April

I have made this twice. The first time, exactly as written and it was great! The second time, I only had 1 can of sauce and to make up for the 2nd can, I took a can of diced, fire roasted tomatoes & pureed them. I didn't have fresh parsley, so I used 2T of dried, only have the can of tomato paste and 1 cup of white wine and it was even better. I paired it up with homemade meatballs and a green salad. Both times I added about 3-4 T of brown sugar. Quick, easy and very forgiving recipe. Thank you!!!

I am so disappointed in this recipe. I followed it exactly and it was mushy and had entirely too much onion (and I LOVE onion!).

Leftovers make a great topping for coney dogs! Add some yellow mustard and chopped onion! YUMMMM! I follow the recipe exactly as written.

I added an extra cup of zucchini and substituted 1 cup of the white sugar for 1 cup of brown. I only used a total of 2 cups of sugar and could have used less with good results. Either way, this is a great recipe! I've made it with yellow squash, too, and it's also yummy.

I've made these twice. The first time, I added 2 eggs and didn't make the frosting. They were gross. The second time, I made them exactly as written, made the frosting, and DID NOT add egg. They were AWESOME!!!!!! Excellent way to use up zucchini, do NOT squeeze the shreds dry! I can't even see them in the brownies, they just dissolve and they're incredibly fudgy and moist and just great!

I made this as-written and thought they were wonderful! Much better than the prepackaged bagels at the grocery. I tried various toppings, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes, chives, and garlic powder. All were great! I used my Kitchen Aid Artisan stand mixer. If you try this recipe with the same mixer, you'll have to divide your dough ball in half and mix them separately. It's just a little too much for this model of Kitchen Aid to handle. Also, steam baking does not mean you spritz water on the bagels while they're in the oven. It means you place a separate baking dish under the sheet with the bagels and fill it with boiling water from the tea kettle. Then you let the bagels bake with the water pan underneath them.
