Friday Food Finds: S’Mores Oreos, Lemon Tea Bud Light, Dragon Pudding, and More!

Dragon pudding, the return of S’mores Oreos, and lemon tea-infused Bud Light? What a time to be alive! This week’s Chub Chub Chowdown segment on the Taylor Strecker Show featured a variety of new snacks and bevs to hit the market and they did NOT disappoint. Well, some of them didn’t, at least. Curious to see what we enjoyed most? You’ll have to scroll down!

Snack Pack Pudding (Dragon Treasure)

Oh, Snack Pack. We love your attempts to weave yourself into the fabric of pop culture. First you had unicorn pudding, which was surprisingly delicious, and now dragon—an opportunity to be part of the “Game of Thrones” conversation. Unfortunately, this one was a bit of a miss for us. We can see the appeal with children, but its apple flavor was an afterthought to its ridiculously bright red and green colors. We would have almost preferred to have these peppermint-flavored and with a Christmastime debut. Fun idea, but “dracarys” to the employee who approved this recipe.

Lesser Evil Egg White Curls

Looking to cut grains out of your diet to become a keto queen or paleo princess? These are a great start! While they certainly don’t cut carbs altogether, they pack a protein punch with significantly lower calories than their chip and pretzel counterparts. And we dig ’em. They have an excellent crunch and flavor (egg and cheese was our fav), though we’re not the biggest fans of huevos rancheros. Opening the bag legit smelled like vomit.

S’mores Oreos

It’s pretty damn hard to mess up an Oreo and its limited edition s’mores flavor is no exception. We love that graham-flavored cookie and super fudgey inside, but there is literally zero trace of marshmallow. S’mores purists may be disappointed with this fact, but we don’t mind. More for us.

Lemon Tea Bud Light

Calling it now, folks: This is the drink of summer 2019! Bud Light’s Lemon Tea provides the perfect balance of sweetness, citrus, and hops for a light, refreshing beer that even beer-haters will enjoy. We can totally see us chugging this bad boy at a beach barbecue or tailgate or in bed after a long week of work. It’s a judgment-free zone here.

Lee Kum Kee Grilling and Dipping Sauce (Sweet and Spicy)

Holy sugar content, Batman. While the spicy-sweet flavor is awesome and lends itself perfectly to fried chicken, we can’t get over the 13 grams of sugar found in just two tablespoons. Buy it, enjoy it, but use it sparingly…and maybe just for grilling. A little goes a long way!

Godiva Chocolate Festival Gold Collection

The marketing attempt is cute and we love the addition of popping candy in one of the milk chocolate varieties, but sometimes collections like these remind us that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Nothing beats Godiva’s signature line of chocolates and truffles and while these would make an excellent gift for your favorite summer concertgoer, we’ll still take a hazelnut open oyster any day.

Brach’s Double Dipped Milk Chocolate Hazelnuts

They’re chocolate-covered hazelnuts: nothing more, nothing less. We weren’t blown away, but they’re fine for a mid-afternoon snack to satisfy a pesky sweet tooth. Frankly, we prefer their almonds. These remind us of a Ferrero-Rocher, but without all the fun stuff. Without the fun stuff, you just have, well, a chocolate-covered hazelnut.

Telehealth hubs offer care options for people living on the edge the virtual world

Imagine
At Catholic Charities Opportunity Center in downtown St. Paul, Senior Clinical Manager Stacie Joncas works with some of the people who’ve been hardest hit by the many crises that have befallen the Twin Cities over the last few months. “These are people who are really having a rough time right now,” she said. “With the murder of George Floyd, the riots and COVID, what we’re finding is a huge increase in mental health and substance use problems among our client population.” A day center for people experiencing homelessness and for members of other vulnerable communities, the Opportunity Center provides a safe place for people to spend time, eat a hot meal and get help with a variety of issues, including looking for a job, finding affordable housing and getting support for mental health and addiction concerns. When COVID-10 hit Minnesota this spring, most health care providers made the shift to telehealth as a way to safely see their patients without risk of spreading the virus. While

Overuse on cattle feedlots is a key factor in antibiotic resistance, report says

Cattle producers purchased 42 percent of all medically important antibiotics sold for livestock use in the United States in 2018 — about the same amount sold for chicken and pork production combined, according to a scathing  report published this month by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). In fact, in 2018, nearly as many antibiotics of medical importance were sold for use in cattle (5.6 million pounds) as for human use (7.5 million pounds). Most of those antibiotics wouldn’t be necessary if the U.S. beef industry made changes in how they raise cattle and produce meat. Cattle producers in the U.S. use antibiotics three to six times more intensively than do their counterparts in the European Union, the report points out. That’s because the drugs are fed routinely to cattle on U.S. feedlots — even when no animals are sick. The European Union, which is the third-largest beef producer globally, not only discourages the routine feeding of antibiotics to cattle, it has announ

Bringing Your Ballpark Food Favorites Home

Imagine
You know what I love? Baseball . There’s just something about it, you know? As America ’s pastime, it’s so historically and culturally significant—patriotic, in fact. As a summer sport, it was always a game I enjoyed during a break from school , when fun, relaxation, and baseball were what life was all about. As a daily sport, it’s great for someone like me. The practice to game ratio is great; when you win, you get to keep the momentum going; and when you lose, you can get right back to it the next day. Now that I’m older, and no longer play the game myself, it’s this last reason that really sticks with me. Baseball is an everyday sport. Sometimes it’s a grind. Sometimes it’s full of highs. In that way, it’s a lot like life. It also becomes a part of your life due to this same, everyday nature. For six months, it becomes your routine. You watch, or listen, spending time with the announcers for a few hours, as you go about your day. It’s a hobby, a passion, habitual. You know what
