TASTE IT TUESDAY: COTTAGE CHEESE September 19, 2023 by Clare Duffy Clare found a recipe for no-bake cookie dough that uses cottage cheese. We couldn’t tell there was cottage cheese. It just tasted like cookie dough! The moment we’ve been dreading…cottage cheese popsicles. They couldn’t believe it. The cottage cheese popsicles tasted like cheesecake! Maybe add a little cherry pie filling and some graham cracker crumbs, but pretty tasty on its own.

TRUCK MEAT September 15, 2023 by Clare Duffy The band turned up to psych the Hawks up to take on the Broncos. The band fanbase has expanded!! #1 radio station marching band! A halftime show about meat calls for the band’s favorite meat: bacon!
TASTE IT TUESDAY: BABY FOOD September 12, 2023 by Clare Duffy Clare and Eric were so excited to finally spend some quality time with their namesake! There are so many different kinds of baby food! Most were good, but Veggie Pasta Primavera was NOT. Even Charlotte spit that out. Baby Charlotte was beginning to make friends with Eric! Eric is a BIG fan of blueberry applesauce. It’s very tasty. Clare tried freeze dried yogurt. It’s so much better if you let it melt on your tongue. This is how we know Charlotte truly deserves the middle name “The Morning Scramble:” she bougie. One of her favorite foods is crab legs! Charlotte is also a big fan of carbs. Who isn’t?! Baby Charlotte didn’t mind the beef baby food. But Clare and Eric were gagging. Gross.
ONE SHOT WEEKENDS September 11, 2023 by Clare Duffy Producer Ben went to see Third Eye Blind in Dubuque on Saturday night. Clare went wild at her nephew, George’s first birthday.

DUNKIN’ COMMUNITY CRUISER September 11, 2023 by Clare Duffy LInn Mar High School Teachers were full caffeinated! Jenna was a hero among all of the staff at UI Sports Medicine for bringing the Dunkin’ Community Cruiser out for the afternoon. Clare and Eric got a tour inside the cruiser. Cool!
CAFFEINATING THE BAND September 8, 2023 by Clare Duffy The band that caffeinates together stays together–even during rivalry week. You’re a brave man, Iowa State Craig.
BREAKING BOARDS September 7, 2023 by Clare Duffy Taekwondo students spend months practicing before they break boards. Can The Morning Scramble learn in an hour? YES! Eric broke the board using his hand–HI-YAH! Clare broke a board using her foot. Impressive!
TASTE IT TUESDAY: FLAVORED NUTS September 5, 2023 by Clare Duffy Eric is not a fan of anything pickle, so he did not care for dill flavored peanuts. Ranch and Siracha had great flavor with a little heat. Probably the favorite of the nuts. Hot Cheddah lived up to the “hot” in the name, but not so much on the cheddar. The Banana Pudding flavored peanuts were ok…maybe they’d be perfect in a peanut cluster?
