My Monday morning started off on a good note. I got up early and ran with the Boyfriend, then came back and whipped us up some quick breakfasts before work. My breakfast was something I’d been waiting for all weekend: a bagel from Whole in the Wall in Binghamton.
You better eat it before it eats you….
My mother ate bagel’s from Whole in the Wall before the store even existed: when she was in college the original bagel baker, Elliot, sold his bagels right on campus. These are not Bruegger’s bagels’; they’re denser and chewier and made entirely with whole wheat.
I toasted my bagel and topped one half with apple butter and pecan butter and the other half with goat cheese (I was experiencing some conflicting savory/sweet feelings).
Yum! Perfect fuel for my morning and an excellent start to the work week!

The combo of apple & pecan butter w/ goat cheese on gooey bread sounds incredible. My mouth is watering.
