All the poptart flavors that would invariably send me into a coma
Plus squash pasta, sweet potato beans and labneh cookies!
To my detriment (and also delight) I watched this video ranking PopTart flavors on YouTube this week. For context, I have a headphone in whenever I’m filming videos (it takes me about 2-3 hours per video, and a girl has got to be entertained!) and usually I’m listening to a podcast or YouTube video in the background. This one…this one got me.
I am not above finding and trying a New American Processed food (a NAP, if you will) but the types of flavors PopTart currently has going are insane. So as this week’s newsletter treat, here are all the current PopTart flavors that would single-handedly put me into a coma. If you’ve tried any of them, please report back.
Lemon Crème (the cream is French)
Grape - WHO DECIDED THIS WAS OK? …at least it is frosted.
Eggo Maple - a part of me knows I would f*** with this, Eggo feel free to slide into my DMs.
Frosted Confetti Cupcake - I really want to eat it but I know it would make me pass out.
Please feel free to add yours to the list, I’d love to know. And now that we all are sufficiently fulfilled with my PopTart opinions (thank you for your time), it’s on to the good stuff!
The weekly round-up!
Delicata Squash Pasta - I listened to Hetty McKinnon’s episode on the Taste Podcast where she said she didn’t eat totally in season, and it helped me give into my craving for saucy, glossy tomatoes. Video here, recipe here.
Sweet Potato Beans! - I was trying to hold onto these so you didn’t get bean fatigue, but they are just so good I couldn’t resist! Video here, recipe here.
Lemony Labneh Cookies - after a 70/30 split of crunchy to creamy, we kept the creamy-interior, crispy edged recipe. I hope you will love it! Recipe here.
And a small note before we go: I did my absolute best to get back to everyone who applied for the recipe testing positions (and I truly thought I did!) but I’m getting some follow-ups and new applications regularly. If you applied after the deadline, I am so sorry but I can’t guarantee a response, if you applied before the deadline, I am doing my best to personally get back to each and every one of you. I promise I’m not a ghosting HR department! Just a very small Snack.
Ok, until next time!! And don’t go out trying any weird PopTart flavors, ok? Stay safe.
Xoxo,
Snacks
I wish they sold some of the "weird" Poptart flavors as a variety pack, like they do with the tiny boxes of different cereals. Like, I'm morbidly curious as to what a Crush orange soda Poptart would taste like...but not enough to spend $5 on a box of 10 when I probably won't even finish one.
There is a restaurant by us that makes seasonal poptarts. There was one in the fall that was so crazy good, I ate three times a week for a month: Pear-ginger filling with miso icing. THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT, KELLOGG’S.
