DIY Everything Bagel Seasoning
Don't have ready-made everything bagel seasoning? You can easily make your own by mixing the following ingredients:

- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp onion flakes
- 1 tsp garlic flakes
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
How To Eat Bell Pepper Sandwiches
Bell peppers are a popular TikTok recipe, and if you ever tried them, you know they are not the easiest thing to eat "sandwiched". It's much better (and less messy) if you eat the stuffed pepper halves separately. You can press the halves together in case you want to pack them with you for lunch but separate them before eating.
