My love affair with Nature Valley granola bars runs deep

There are a few certainties in life, and one of them is that I am always well stocked on Nature Valley Granola Bars.  If disaster ever strikes and we are all forced to live underground for awhile, you know who to talk to for some Oats N Honey and Peanut Butter granola bars.  Those are my two go to flavors, and Nature Valley has been by my side for as long as I can remember.

Whether I am on a long hike in colorado, in the middle of southeast asia, or just hanging out on my coach, my taste buds get along very well with Nature Valley granola bars.  My only complaint is that there are way too many crumbs!   When opening the package and taking my first bite, it is an arduous task to prevent crumbs from falling on the floor and table.  Not like I am the cleanest of eaters.  My one year old birthday party is where the messiness all started.  There is a baby picture of me smeared in spaghetti sauce, and from what I hear, cake soon followed.  Maybe neat eaters have better luck with these granola bars, but I have confided in some people that are OCD about being neat.  The type of person who cringes when they see a crumb within shouting distance.  Even those neat freak friends of mine can agree that Nature Valley granola bars will leave a mess no matter who the eater is!  I guess like everything in life you can’t have your cake and eat it to, but you can have a Nature Valley granola bar and thoroughly enjoy it.  Just have a broom handy for the post snack maintenance.  Happy snacking everybody!

Slow as National Molasses Bar Day in February

When something is extremely slow, a common expression you have probably heard at some point in your lifetime is “slow as molasses in January.”  Isn’t it ironic that National Molasses Bar Day takes place in February then?  Have you ever eaten a molasses bar let alone heard of one until now? Today is a great excuse to try one!  How can you say no to a sugary syrup that happens have calcium, iron and magnesium in it?  Say Molasses Bar three times quickly, you might twist your tongue!

These are our 5 favorite Popcorn Flavors!

I will never forget when my mom sent me a giant popcorn care package my freshman year at Indiana University.  This tub took up at least a quarter of the dorm room I resided in.  It was split up between white cheddar popcnr, caramel corn, chocolate, and plain popcorn.  Let’s just say everybody on my floor loved my mom after that food package arrived.  On National Popcorn Day we dive into our seven favorite flavors!  No words needed here, the popcorn pops for itself! 

5) Kettle Corn

Do you really want to be as Cool as a Cucumber?

Are you the type of person that always remains calm, regardless of the situation?  We are all about dissecting food idioms here at LoDel and “cool as a cucumber” has really got me thinking.  Did you know? When it is hot outside the inside of a cucumber remains approximately 20 degrees cooler than the air outside.

When push comes to shove though are cucumbers really that cool? I have never looked forward to hanging out with a cucumber, let alone eating one.  Wouldn’t you rather be as cool as a mozzarella stick or chocolate chip cookie? Who cares if their interior isn’t cold, they are way more fun to indulge in!  Food for thought as we head into the weekend.

12/12/17: Team LoDel Food Blunders

Dan started off the day lucky he was wearing red on one end.  Unlucky that he delve head first into a ketchup crisis.  Lets just say his hands looked like they belonged in a scene from Psycho.    Luckily he had napkins handy and went onto enjoy the bagel breakfast sandwich...thoroughly

Jeff continues to whip up gluten free meals that taste nothing like cardboard.  Although nobody could tell us that besides him, because ChefJeffGF is not the “sharing” type.  Being the youngest of 3 must have led to him feeling the need to hoard his food.  

Corey continues to lose sleep over what is better: Buffalo Chicken, or Buffalo Shrimp?  Last night he had an incredible buffalo shrimp dish that has made him rethink all those football Sundays with Buffalo Wings.  Will he transition right away or wait until a new football season to display his newfound Buffalo Shrimp addiction?
