TASTE IT TUESDAY: SNACK HACKS

May 18, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Clare invented a peanut butter sauce for ice cream when she was 9.

Mix a spoonful of peanut butter and a glob of corn syrup; microwave for 30 sec and pour onto ice cream. It makes a sticky peanut butter taffy.

Destiny makes her own caramel corn and it’s super easy: microwave a stick of butter, stir in some brown sugar and dump that over your popcorn.

It’s slightly granular, sweet and tasty!

Eric’s snack hack is a lasagna roll up. All you need is a lasagna noodle and his secret ingredient, garlic salt.

Sprinkle the garlic salt on the noodles, roll up, and enjoy. So good!

ONE SHOT WEEKENDS

Sunday, Eric and Shannon stopped to catch the Mega Kites soaring high above North Liberty.

Clare and the fam spread their wings and spent some time in Czech Village for Houby days.

Destiny also went to see a kites in Marion on Saturday!

TASTE IT TUESDAY: RICKLES, TICKLES, KICKLES, AND FRICKLES

May 11, 2021 by Clare Duffy

The most popular pickle recipes is Ranch Pickles or ‘Rickles.’ Just dump a ranch seasoning packet into a jar of dill pickles, shake and enjoy 24 hours later. Clare and Destiny enjoyed them…Eric did not.

‘Tickles’ are created when you add a taco seasoning packet to a jar of dill pickles. Clare and Eric enjoyed the spicy kick the taco seasoning added, but Destiny did not.

‘Kickles’ are Kool Aid Pickles. A packet of cherry Kool Aid marinates for at least 5 days and you get something more akin to a sweet pickle. This got a thumbs down from everyone.

The Scramblers were least excited to try ‘FRickles.’ They are Fruit Roll-ups wrapped around a dill pickle.

Call them crazy, but all of the Scramblers enjoyed ‘FRickles.’ The fruit and the dill work, they’re just a little hard to eat.

ONE SHOT WEEKENDS

With a little too much time on his hands this weekend, Eric decided to match up all of his storage bins with their rightful lids.

Destiny spent some time in the car on the way to Pella for the Tulip festival.

Clare scored big for Mother’s Day! Her daughter wrote her a poem. She said it took about 5-10 min to write…aww!

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!

May 4, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Meet Graduation Vader…we had the helmet, but no costume. A graduation gown works well in a pinch, though.

Mr. Shucks and Graduation Vader squared off in an epic lightsaber battle!

ONE SHOT WEEKEND

May 3, 2021 by Clare Duffy

If you saw two people dancing like crazy in NewBo, it was Clare and her daughter, Audrey.

Eric spent some time at Liberty High School enjoying jazz under the sun.

Destiny spent her weekend planting some flowers! And, yes, she did save some for other people to buy.

TASTE IT TUESDAY: TASTING JAPAN

April 27, 2021 by Clare Duffy

This appears to be a fish cookie…or cracker?

Not sure why this is in a fish shape, but we have Goldfish crackers, so no judgement. It’s a very light wafer with some light and airy chocolate on the back. Delish!

These appear to be seaweed strips?

Seaweed was a big NOPE for Destiny. But Clare thought it was savory and good.

Clare and Destiny wish they know what these were called. “Buzz Lightyear Cookies: The flavor strawberry and BEYOND!?”

Whatever they are called, they are cute and yummy–strawberry flavored!

These look like little sandwich cookies, but there’s a picture of something chunky and white to describe the flavor…is it cheese?! Even after tasting them we’re not 100% sure they’re not.

Chocolate cookies with chocolate chips? Yes, please! These were tasty.

WALK THE RED CARPET…OF LEGOS

April 26, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Destiny ended up having to “Walk the Red Carpet…of LEGOS!” Ouch!
