Maple Syrup had a hands down winner

While the Packers suffered a sad end to the game today ( a gut wrenching loss to Carolina in the final minutes), the Super Bowl battle had an unanimous winner - Susan. *


Susan's entry was a Packer Granola. It had slivered almonds, walnuts, raisins, pecans, oats, and of course MAPLE SYRUP. It even came in a green container - good job pandering to the Packer crowd.

One of our regulars, Andy, labeled this Super Bowl entry as his personal favorite of all time.

Matt commented that this granola would also be good for breakfast (with a little milk in the bowl). I think that Matt might have some tomorrow morning after he does snow removal (an expected 3-8 inches in the Chicagoland area).

Congrats to Susan, our Maple Syrup victor.

Until next time and the next super bowl battle....

*unfortunately Heather's entry for the Maple Syrup Super Bowl did not arrive in time for Sunday's game. We'll provide additional updates as they become available.

And... The Strubles successfully put up 4 Christmas trees this weekend. While they aren't all decorated, they are up (below, the 10ft tree)

With the secret ingredient peanut, great chefs think alike

It was another successful day at Struble Suds. Not only did the Green Bay Packers pummel the Chicago Bears (37-3), we had to fantastic entries to our Super Bowl competition. While both competitors entered chex mix creations, one bowl reigned supreme.



First up was Treye's dish. His chex mix inspired creation was sticky and sweet. The subtle hint of cinnamon and honey was to die for. The salty and sweet combo is always a hit with this crowd.

Second up was Melanie's Packers Chex Mix. This version was her grandfather's recipe. The spicy kick to her mix was great. Not to mention the yellow & green m&ms were very festive. Go Packers - yes we're suckers for the green & gold, beer, and cheese. What Packer fan wouldn't be.

So super Packer fan Kevin announces that the winner of secret ingredient peanut is MELANIE. You're Struble Suds koozie is on it's way.

So until next time .... up, up and away
