I only break out the Goose Island glasses for two occasions:

Beer + Smoothies (preferably both of the pumpkin variety)

Pumpkin Smoothie

  • 1/2 c canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!)
  • 1/2 c yogurt (I used Stonyfield Vanilla, but Greek would be good too)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • dash of cinnamon
  • ice
  • glug of milk
  • Blend! Blend! Blend!

Speaking of Uncle Sam’s – I received a coupon from my friends at the HLS way back in August and I just now finally found a box of the wheaty flakes at my Hyvee. It’s a great smoothie topper and check out these amazing stats:

Sure I’m a fan of sugary cereals (hello Cocoa Crispy Rice Cereal) but I’m always in the market for cereals that are good for me and taste just as delicious. And with 10g of dietary fiber and flaxseeds in it, I think Uncle Sam’s qualifies!

So, whatta say to a giveaway?
