Best Bites: Cheetos Simply White Cheddar Puffs

2 months ago | thedailynewsonline.com | Amy Bertrand

I love Cheetos. All kinds, all shapes and sizes. But when I learned Cheetos has a Simply line of baked snacks with no artificial flavors, color or preservatives, I was truly in love. Add to that the fact that these taste amazing. The white cheddar flavor is similar to the traditional Cheetos puffs, but it's a bit more mild and less artificial tasting.

Activate brings active gaming to Brentwood

2 months ago | stltoday.com | Amy Bertrand

Two of my friends had recently been to Activate, a new gaming place in Brentwood. The reviews were the same: super fun, but you sweat a lot. Sweat a lot? I was curious. What kind of indoor gaming facility makes you sweat a lot? Over the holidays my family and I (from teenage boys to their grandma) made reservations and showed up ready for a showdown. The first thing you do is create a profile in a kiosk in the waiting room and get a wristband.

Impossible Bowls’ Spicy Enchilada Bowl has it all: high in plant proteins (11 grams), no cholesterol, no animal products, ready quickly and super tasty. The enchilada sauce that brings it all together tastes remarkably like my homemade kind: Not too heavy on the tomato and with just a little kick. kAm%96 x>A@DD:3=6 “49:4<6?” :D >2J36 4FE 2 =:EE=6 D>2==[ 3FE E92E’D ~z] %96 C:46[ @?:@?[ 36== A6AA6CD 2?5 uC:E@\=:<6 4@C? 49:AD 6?DFC6 E92E 6G6CJE9:?8 :D H@C<:?8 :?

In Excelsior Springs, Mo., a hotel with a haunted past and upscale future

Dec 11, 2024 | stltoday.com | Amy Bertrand

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, MO. — They say the Elms Hotel is haunted. In fact, the hotel leans into these stories with nightly paranormal tours that highlight the ghost stories. But it also leans into its history. The story of the Elms begins with the discovery of healing mineral waters in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, in the late 1800s. People would come from all over to experience the dozen or so springs in town, particularly Siloam Spring, on the grounds of the Elms Hotel.
Purple Carrot Vegetable Tikka Masala

Dec 9, 2024 | hastingstribune.com | Amy Bertrand

Like many people, I'm looking to add more plants to my diet. In the warmer months, my garden takes care of that. But this time of year, I start looking for easy alternatives without sacrificing flavor. This frozen meal (just warm in the microwave) is unbelievably full of flavor and packed with vegetables. It's made with sweet potatoes, chickpeas, red bell peppers, peas, brown rice and farro. But it's the spice-packed sauce that makes the dish come together. Copyright 2024 Tribune Content Agency.
