The Snack Report: Lance Sprinkled Sugar Sweet Creme Cookie Sandwiches
I saw these cookie sandwiches in the grocery store the other day, and figured since they were seasonal and limited edition they would be a good holiday-time snack report. While I haven’t reviewed them on the blog, I have eaten Lance sandwich crackers in the past and enjoyed them, so I figured these would be pretty good too.
Since I feel like Lance might not be a super well-known brand I decided to do some research on them. The company has actually been around since the early 1900s, though it wasn’t until the 1960s and beyond that they started reaching a wider audience. They now have a wide range of snacks, but most are based upon the sandwich format. Some are savory cracker sandwiches and others, like the ones being reviewed today are sweet cookie sandwiches. So how did these sweet creme cookie sandwiches fare?
Food 101: How To Make Homemade Potato Pancakes / Latkes Easy
It’s long been a tradition in my family that come Christmastime, my parents have family and friends over for a traditional German meal. One thing that always confused me however was the addition of homemade potato pancakes, also known as latkes. Generally most people associate them with Hannukah and Jewish people. Not for nothin’, but we’re all Christian in my family, so I never really got the connection. Fast-forward to me being an adult and having a more worldly view of, well, the world; I discovered that potato pancakes actually share a pretty wide open history, being eaten by lots of cultures. Specifically, Germany has a big history of eating potato pancakes. Suddenly, everything made sense to me. And by everything, I mean the fact my parents were serving them at a German meal. No matter whether you’re Jewish or German or whatever, latkes are delicious. Spoilers: They’re also incredibly easy to make.
Food 101: Simple Icing
The right icing can enhance any baked good, and a bad icing can make a cake almost inedible. At least in my own experience, icing almost always better homemade. Yet icing/frosting (depending on your preferred term) is one of those foods that can range from incredibly easy to complicated to make, depending on the specific type. Luckily for us, simple icing/glaze is super easy and you likely already have all the ingredients on hand.
Quick Recipe: Gingerbread Pancakes
Gingerbread men are a Christmas favorite cookie. What you may not be aware of though, is that gingerbread itself is actually a type of baked good similar to pumpkin bread. I know, right? Ginger-bread. Holy shit! But revelations aside, they taste pretty much the same as gingerbread cookies that we all know and love. If you’re aiming to capture that flavor but don’t want to make a whole tray of cookies, or an entire loaf of bread, there is one alternative: gingerbread pancakes.
Pizza Lab #24: Pumpkin Pulled Chicken Pizza
Hot on the heals of like eight billion pumpkin posts, we here at Poor Couple’s Food Guide are pleased to present to you… another freakin’ pumpkin post! Yeahhh!
I joke though, we actually love pumpkins. As Meg mentioned in Food 101: Roasting Pumpkins, they’re really awesome because they’re a festive Halloween/Fall decoration, but can also be used as food as the season starts winding down to a close. We’ve made pumpkin pizza before, though that one was a dessert. This year we instead wanted to try and harness the savory possibilities that pumpkin possesses. That’s what led to Pizza Lab #24, Pumpkin Pulled Chicken.
