Noosa Raspberry Habanero Yogurt

At the recommendation of a co-worker, I tried this flavor, which will seem odd to some and exciting to others. Here ar my thoughts:

• As a starting point, I tasted the base yogurt. It was rich and creamy and is sold in an 8 oz. cup. If you don't like fruit-on-the-bottom style yogurts (like my lovely wife), this is not for you. I love my yogurt that way. The base yogurt is very good.
• The raspberry-habanero is tasty and somewhat mild when blended in with the yogurt, but if you don't like heat, this is not for you. I found myself taking frequent gulps from my glass of milk as I ate.
• At $2 per 8 oz. container, this is not cheap, but about the same as premium Greek yogurts.
• Summary: I liked it. I will buy it again and am anxious to try their other, somewhat exotic flavors.

Winger's "Fowl Cow" Burger (it's a meal really)

Fowl Cow Burger at Winger's

I Went with my Grandsons to Wingers' this afternoon to try their new Burgers. THEY ARE THE BEST WE HAVE EVER TASTED!
Fowl Cow Burger (a House Specialty) is Fresh ground chuck, a juicy chicken breast, sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheese, mayo, applewood smoked bacon, and topped with a fried egg! The Porker (Burger, Pork, Bacon, Cheddar) was very good too, but Fowl Cow...Freaking Amazing!

Earl Cooks Chicken Marsala over Potatoes with Asparagus - A Review

I will admit right now that this is not a from scratch recipe. It is however a great way to raise a frozen product to a higher level and make it worth eating.

Chicken Marsala requires something we don't use - alcohol. This was on sale and seemed like a good way to try a classic dish with a twist. NO pasta or rice, I am going for mashed potatoes. I love the ingredients - mushrooms and chicken in a sauce that make s great gravy!

Add to that the perfectly steamed asparagus loaded with butter and meat and potatoes take on a new meaning! I used the Smart Ones® brand for ours, but there are quality products from a variety of sources. 

To make it quick I even used packaged mashed potatoes from Idahoan®, my favorite and great for a weeknight side...even though it's not a side, it's an under🤣.

I only did this once, because variety is the spice of life, but I would gladly eat it again, and I ate another brand later.
