From The Class6: The Pumpkin Beer Verdict

pumpkin-beers

The pumpkin beer verdict is in – Weyerbacher’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale stands above all others. None of the other beers that were part of the taste test had the flavor or spices that Weyerbacher uses. If you shy away from pumpkin beer because you think it will be sweet, don’t. It doesn’t taste like grandma’s… read more »

Chicken Sandwich on Naan

chicken-and-naan-sandwich

This is a super easy, but very filling sandwich I threw together on a whim. It’s just some chicken, cheese, mayo, lettuce, and tomato on naan. I heated the chicken (I used one of those pre-cooked packages to make it easier, but regular chicken would work too), put it on the bread with the condiments,… read more »

KP Duty: Troegs Javahead Cupcakes

KP Duty

OK, so this is sort of a collaboration between KP Duty and From the Class 6. I know a lot of chefs say to cook with beers and wines that you  like to drink. This is one case where a beer that my husband doesn’t like to drink is great for baking. My husband likes… read more »

Go figure and color me a jackass. And here I just thought it was a Pennsyltuckian thing where they were too redneck… read more »

Reading Food Labels

Do you read food labels when you buy your groceries? Kathleen at Life With 4 Boys poses the same question after seeing a commercial asking people to read labels of dog food for their pets. For my family it’s a necessity. I can’t have MSG, nitrates, or sulfates. They are all migraine triggers. My older… read more »

I Scream, You Scream

bright ideas

July is National Ice Cream month. Did you head over to your nearest Walmart on July 2, 2011 for your free sample of Nestle Lil Drums at The  Walmart Ice Cream Social Event? I went, and even took my family with me. The kids were especially excited at the prospect of getting ice cream before… read more »

KP Duty – Green Bean Casserole

green beans

This is what we call green bean casserole in my house. It’s not the typical cream of mushroom soup with some sort of crunchy topping. Oh no. This is MUCH better. Ingredients: 1 onion (I use sweet, use whatever you like) 1 package of mushrooms (white or baby bella) 1 16oz. package of bacon 1lb… read more »
