Tasty Tuesday–Dining Down the Mother Road (At Home)–Part Two

We had two Route 66 dinners and desserts from The Route 66 Cookbook in the last week!

For the second dinner of our Route 66 Summer I made the Super Burger from the Western View Diner & Steakhouse in Albuquerque, NM. What really set the burger apart is the green chile sauce served on top! Also, this was the first time I made the hamburger patties myself instead of just buying frozen ones, and I’m pretty sure my family is never going to let me go back!

And is there a more classic Route 66 dessert than a malt? The recipe for the most chocolatey malt ever (and I’ve made chocolate malts pretty often in the past!) was from the Fair Oaks Pharmacy in South Pasadena…so delicious!

Our third dinner featured Goulash from the Streetcar Station Coffee Shop in Galena, KS. And when I say goulash, I mean the American kind, made with chili seasonings and macaroni. It was tasty, but confusing because we’re used to Hungarian goulash!

For dessert we had a classic Egg Cream like they serve at the Monarch Pharmacy and Soda Fountain in Baxter Spring, KS. Again, confusing, because there is neither egg nor cream in this chocolate soda, but again, super tasty!

We’re looking forward to more culinary travels down Route 66!

Tasty Tuesday–Matcha Malts

My quest to find as many things to do with matcha as possible continues! This time, it’s matcha malts, and they’re bright and delicious! I served them with lavender whipped cream, but you could use any whipped cream, or none at all…the star here is the malt!

  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 6 Tbsp. original malted milk powder
  • 4 Tbsp. culinary matcha

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy with your favorite whipped cream, if desired. Serves 3-4.

Tasty Tuesday–Chocolate Malts

It may be getting colder outside, but it’s always time for a good old-fashioned malt!

  • 24 oz. chocolate ice cream (1/2 carton)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 Tbsp. malt powder
  • 3 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Pour in glasses and drizzle with additional chocolate syrup, if desired.
