A popular Galena pub is hitting the road with the addition of a new food truck. Frank O’Dowd’s Irish Pub & Grill, located in Irish Cottage Inn & Suites at
9853 U.S. 20 W., recently unveiled its new food truck — a mobile culinary operation set up for remote catering, festivals and other events.
“We’ve tried to make a menu with some unique street food options that have Irish flair,” said food and beverage director Joshua Roberts. “The truck lets us get out and about and really increases those opportunities for community engagement.”

When Erin Potter set up a grill, a fryer and a makeshift food stand by the
Mississippi River in North Buena Vista, Iowa, more than a decade ago, she had no idea how much the idea would grow. “This was never a huge plan,” she said. “It all kind of grew each year, and I just
kind of rolled with the punches.” Now, Potter owns and operates Buenie Bottoms Grill and Market, a food truck that has
operated since 2015 and, as of last year, a brick-and-mortar storefront in Holy Cross, Iowa. The truck serves up bar foods and comfort classics like burgers, loaded fries, cheese
curds and more. |

Just the word “smoothie”
calls to mind a soothing, cooling sippable meal in a tall, frosty glass. An easy breakfast or expeditious snack, a smoothie is the deliciously healthy cousin to an ice cream shake. The only equipment you need is a good blender. (I can attest that a food processor will leak.) Despite their no-cooking
simplicity, things can go wrong. Your concoction might end up watery, flavorless or overly vegetal. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when whirring up a luscious drink. Too watery and limp? Add a
dense fruit such as a banana or mango; an avocado adds body, too. You might add a tablespoon or two of nut butter — peanut, almond and cashew all work — or tahini. Try adding few chunks of silken tofu or Greek yogurt or a splash of heavy cream; cooked oatmeal or white rice will also do the trick. An Iowa State University Extension and Outreach workshop in Dubuque will teach participants how to use cabbage to make kimchi or sauerkraut. Read more ... |
