CRABBY BAGELS

When I had a preschooler and a new baby at home, sandwiches were a lunchtime staple. My husband and I got tired of peanut butter and jelly, so we started making this grown-up recipe shared by a dear lady at church. The onion flavor from the bagels complements the crabmeat nicely. -Connie Faulkner, Moxee, Washington
