Emergency Food for the Winter

Posted on December 6, 2022December 4, 2022 by Sandra

We visited some small, remote towns in Wyoming this summer. And we noticed all of their little grocery stores always carried these containers of emergency food supplies. Towns like Thermopolis can get snowed in from both sides and if the roads coming in from both the north and south are closed due to bad weather,…

Bacon Wrapped Wings in Nebraska

Posted on June 30, 2022June 27, 2022 by Sandra

Our campground host in Nebraska gave us a handwritten list of food to try in Scottsbluff. We started at the very top looking at menus online and our decision was made – we were going to Flyover that night! Chris heard me say “Bacon Wrapped Wings” and he was sold. Chris was so serious about…

What is a Runza?

Posted on June 29, 2022June 27, 2022 by Sandra

While in Nebraska we were told, “You HAVE to get a Runza!” We had no idea what a Runza was so we looked it up. It is a statewide sandwich chain (there are some in Kansas and Iowa now, too). The bread is a soft yeast roll and the filling is almost stuffed into the…

Baking Away My Election Stress

Posted on November 5, 2020November 5, 2020 by Sandra

I woke up Wednesday morning after election day and realized the US still didn’t have a winner for the presidential race. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day (or week?! or month?!) and I was going to need a project to keep my mind busy. I’ve been wanting to make…

Ramen Soup at Home

Posted on October 28, 2020October 28, 2020 by Sandra

I stopped at JoAnn fabric the other day (I am making some new holiday bandanas for James) and I noticed people coming out of a big store next door. It looked like an Asian supermarket – like the one we liked in Orlando. I walked over there and sure enough – it was a really…

Gummy Bears

Posted on September 14, 2020September 14, 2020 by Sandra

I love gummy bear candy! This is a fairly new thing. I’ve always been a chocolate fanatic, but in the last 5 years or so I now have a thing for gummy bears. Living in Austria and Germany probably pushed me to love them more since Haribo gummy bears originated in Germany and they are…

Coconut Dark Chocolate Almonds at Costco

Posted on August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 by Sandra

Last fall I told you about the amazing Dark Chocolate Coconut Almonds we found in Canada at Bulk Barn. Today, I was wandering around Costco when I spotted a huge bag of Edward Marc Chocolatier Coconut Almonds with Dark Chocolate. The bag is huge – 32 ounces! And they are on sale right now for…

Poodles Love McDonald’s

Posted on March 11, 2020March 10, 2020 by Sandra

We were on the road all day the other day and we decided to stop and get some food while on the road. Thanks to Siba, the Best in Show winner at Westminster this year, we decided to get James some McDonald’s grilled chicken! We were in the drive through and I asked for a…

The Best Candy in France: Haribo Tagada

Posted on February 6, 2020February 3, 2020 by Sandra

I am not much of a candy fanatic. In Germany, I do tend to buy Haribo Gummy Bears. And they are yummy. But even better are the Haribo Tagada Strawberry gummy candies and you can only find them in France! The Red ones are the strawberry flavor. You can find other colors and flavors but…

I Found Huckleberries!

Posted on December 17, 2019December 15, 2019 by Sandra

My cousin Mike told me I had to try huckleberries when I was in Montana. I didn’t know anything about them. I looked at the grocery stores and all I found were jams and candies. I wanted fresh huckleberries. I finally started asking around – it turns out that the huckleberry is very perishable and…

Posted on November 14, 2019November 13, 2019 by Sandra

Yesterday we posted a video about Bulk Barn in Canada and Sandra decided to taste test the dark chocolate coconut almonds.

Square Paper Plates

Posted on November 12, 2019November 8, 2019 by Sandra

We found a Walmart in Canada and I wanted to get some paper plates. The paper plate selection was very small – I think Canadians are a lot more careful about wasteful paper products like paper plates. We saw this in Europe, too. But the paper plates I did find were unique – they were…

Canada Dry in Canada

Posted on November 9, 2019November 7, 2019 by Sandra

We love sparkling water and one of the best plain carbonated water brands is Canada Dry. And since we are in Canada, we are drinking a lot of Canada Dry Club Soda!

Pumpkin Pie Hummus

Posted on October 21, 2019October 20, 2019 by Sandra

I love plain traditional hummus. And a few weeks ago, I tried an everything bagel hummus and that was good. But the dessert hummus flavors are just bizarre to me! What do you eat with chocolate hummus? And what do you eat with pumpkin pie hummus? I am baffled! With traditional hummus I eat raw…

Rabbit Ear Dog Treats in the US

Posted on September 5, 2019August 29, 2019 by Sandra

If you know James, you have probably seen the photo of his Austrian dog treat obsession: Rabbit Ears. These aren’t just treats made with rabbits. They are a full ear of a rabbit, with fur, from the rabbit’s nostril to the tip of its ear. And the ears are usually full of wax. And they…

Beef Esophagus Dog Treats

Posted on September 4, 2019August 29, 2019 by Sandra

Ever since we left Austria, James just hasn’t been NUTS about any dog treats like he was for those Austrian Rabbit Ears. Yes, he loves pretty much all treats. But he hasn’t gone bananas over a treat. Until now. We were at the vet the other day getting updated bloodwork for James. Since James was…

Hidden Acres Greenhouse and Cafe

Posted on August 30, 2019August 27, 2019 by Sandra

After fighting the crowds at Tillamook Creamery, we decided we wanted a quieter lunch the next day. We found Hidden Acres Greenhouse and Cafe just south of Tillamook, Oregon. We ordered sandwiches and soup and all of our plates came with a flower decoration: It was a little too chilly to sit outside, but the…

Tillamook Creamery

Posted on August 28, 2019August 23, 2019 by Sandra

We decided to try and beat the crowds at Tillamook Creamery by going first thing in the morning and having our dairy for breakfast! Brandy and Justin told us about Tillamook Creamery – we hadn’t heard of it before. But as we drove into Oregon and stopped at a grocery store we saw it everywhere…

Huckleberry Honey

Posted on August 23, 2019August 21, 2019 by Sandra

I haven’t seen any huckleberries for sale in Oregon.  I am thinking they really only grow in northern Idaho and Montana but I’m not sure.  I don’t even know what they look like – I’ve been told they look like blueberries, but a little bit more purple. I’m a Florida girl at heart – I…

Mull of Kintyre Scottish Cheese

Posted on August 19, 2019August 14, 2019 by Sandra

Here in Oregon, I spotted something I had to try: Mull of Kintyre Scottish Cheese. When I was a little girl, my parents often played Scottish music and Mull of Kintyre was one of those songs that would always get stuck in my head. Now, when I look in the fridge and see this Scottish…
