Cover with dishtowel to prevent from drying out while making glaze. Starting at the longer end, roll dough (jelly roll style), very tightly. Mix together 1/3 cup brown sugar and cinnamon, spread all over dough, leaving an ¼-inch border.
Grilled Stickies are a little delights from The Diner on College Avenue at Penn State. My version uses some whole wheat pastry flour – by no means is this dietitian going to tell you stickies are a healthy nosh – but I guess it just makes me feel a little bit better to know it’s in there. You really could use any cinnamon bun or sticky roll recipe here. When served with vanilla ice cream, it’s called the Mount Nittany. Stickies are basically a cross between a sticky bun and a cinnamon roll, cut into a rectangle and then fried on the large griddle. These local delights are from The Diner on College Avenue, where they’ve been making them since 1929. May I present a Penn State staple - Grilled Stickies. So, now I will clumsily transition to what you are here for – game day eats. (A notable organization alums have learned more about in the past year and have fundraised for is RAINN: ) My main opinion right now? The only ones whose views we should be listening hard to are those of the victims and their families.īut Penn State has always meant so much more than football to me - starting from when I was little visiting the campus for their famous ice cream all the way up to my 2nd graduation (yeah, I stayed on a few extra semesters for another degree – wasn’t quite ready for the real world yet.) These days, I admit that I continue to fully support the team, but also my university as we strive to help those that have greatly suffered. I’ve resisted writing anything about the horrendous scandal - people have strong opinions, as they should. And while I’ve been a die-hard college football fan my whole life (the best football happens on Saturdays in my humble opinion), nowadays saying that you graduated from Penn State can change the tone of a conversation pretty darn quickly.
What is so difficult about writing a fun, lighthearted ditty about tailgating and yummy eats for watching the big game? I must have started and deleted a dozen different intros. Obviously, I ended up saying yes, but when it came time to write this post, I was staring at the cursor for a long time. But when she did a few weeks ago, I did pause. In the past, if Regan had asked me to write a guest post for Football Friday, it would have been a no-brainer. Deanna's is a friendship that I treasure, and I hope you'll come to enjoy her as much as I do. But I'm honored that she would make her first and only football post to-date for 2012 here on my blog.
It wasn't easy for her to write this post. We kept in touch off and on over the years, but it wasn't until the last couple of years that we really started putting our heads together on all things pertaining to food, nutrition, college football and life's little daily musings that make for the best early morning conversations. I was drawn to her immediately because honestly, no disrespect to my profession, it's not every day I meet an RD who's as much of a foodie as I am. She's my partner on ReDux, a very food-savvy & active RD in all things social media and honestly, one of the best friends a girl could ask for.ĭeanna and I met more than a decade ago when we were both working for dairy council. Maybe I assume too much, but I'm going to assume if you've been around this blog for a while you know our guest blogger - Deanna from Teaspoon of Spice.
