TASTE IT TUESDAY: BUD LIGHT SELTZER’S FALL FLANNEL PACK

October 19, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Apple Crisp was a little underwhelming for Clare and Eric. It didn’t pack much of a punch. Lightly apple flavored water. But that’s what Destiny loved about it most!

Maple Pear was just the worst. Overly maple–and a very fake maple flavor. Skip it.

Destiny was dying to try Pumpkin Spice. It smells like a fall scented candle, but the flavor is quit good! It’s light and refreshing.

Toasted Marshmallow divided the Scramblers once again. Eric and Destiny hated it, but Clare didn’t think it was too bad. It was like drinking a rice crispy treat.

Haters gonna hate; Destiny is here for Apple Crisp Selzer!

The maple in the Maple Pear is just so shockingly bad!

Clare, you can keep that Toasted Marshmallow. Ew.

Destiny spent her Saturday night watching Netflix comedian Taylor Tomlinson at The Paramount Theatre!

Clare and the fam took a quick trip to Galena. Great food and fun shops, but the kids loved the stairs off Main Street the best!

The highlight of the Iowa /Purdue game was Eric on the Jumbotron! Photo Credit: Destiny!

TASTE IT TUESDAY: FALL FAVORITES

October 12, 2021October 12, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Clare’s fall favorite is “Butternut Squash Soup.”

The soup has a baby food consistency, which was an ick factor for Destiny, but the flavor was pretty good. Plus she made it fancy with a crisped leaf of sage and pumpkin seeds on top.

Destiny’s go-to for fall is “Pumpkin Hot Chocolate.”

Clare and Eric were skeptical…they didn’t think pumpkin and chocolate went together, but one sip proved them wrong. Perfect fall beverage!

Eric had a miscommunication with his wife. He thought she would make his fall favorite, “Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie.” But she was busy, so Eric hit the kitchen and whipped it up himself!

Bourbon? Good. Chocolate? Good. Pecan pie? Good. This pie was delicious. Plus he served it was some homemade ice cream. Wowza!

Destiny finally had a weekend with zero plans. She spent most of it watching Netflix. But did a little cleaning and Milo refused to let her take the pillows to be washed.

Clare and the family went to the Renaissance Festival in the Amanas. The big highlight was the tiny pony rides!

Saturday was a great day to be a Hawkeye and be at Kinnick to watch it all unfold. Eric has never heard the stadium that loud!

PORTA POTTY PLEDGEAPALOOZA

October 8, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Eric’s feeling at home in his “commode away from home” but he’d really love tons of people to take the pledge against distracted driving and spring him outta there!

Just a morning show live from a mall parking lot…with a guy in a porta potty. Typical Friday.

The Wapsi Valley Marching Band served as the Morning Scramble’s in-house band for the morning.

Doing our best to wipe out distracted driving!

The Washington High School Cheer Squad stopped by to share a cheer encouraging everyone to put down the phone when driving.

TASTE IT TUESDAY: SPAGHETTI DAY

October 5, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Eminem’s “Mom’s Spaghetti Sandwich” is just spaghetti in between two pieces of garlic bread. It tastes amazing! A great option if there’s no clean forks. Destiny wanted to try a recipe she’s seen many times on ‘iCarly’. They eat their spaghetti on a taco shell. While we appreciate the crunch, there’s a little confusion in flavor. The corn shell fights the spaghetti.

Destiny and Eric thought there was waaaaay too little sauce on the sandwich and the taco. Come on Clare! Quit rinsing the spaghetti noodles and ruining the sauce!

Clare created the first recipe she found for ‘Skyline Chili’ and it was GROSS! There was unsweetened baking chocolate and cinnamon in the sauce. She did it wrong, right? Cuz that was nasty!

Eric spent some serious uncle / nephew bonding this weekend with Hendrix. For the first time ever, Hendrix didn’t cry around Eric!

Destiny spent her Sunday at the pumpkin patch in Vinton.

TASTE IT TUESDAY: FACEBOOK RECIPE ROULETTE

September 28, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Clare landed on a recipe invented by a 5-year-old for “Chocolate Souffle Cupcakes.” He was mostly spot on with us guesses on ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs…but he also included a piece of white bread.

The recipe turned out pretty good! Very moist. Maybe the bread helped with that?

Eric is always seeing a few of his friends share super healthy or keto recipes and sure enough, that’s the recipe he landed on, “Spinach, Broccoli, and Mushroom Quiche.”

It had a very healthy taste. This thing was FULL of spinach. It was mostly greens and a little egg. Not bad, but the Scramblers would prefer a little less spinach and a lot more bacon.

Destiny landed on a recipe shared by a former creepy co-worker for “Dorito Casserole.”

So good! It’s hamburger cooked up with some onion, corn, and a can of Rotel. Dump it in a casserole dish and top with cheese and Doritos. Bake 5 min. It’s hearty and perfect for a fall tailgate.
