In my opinion, you can never be too old to enjoy a delicious ice cream sandwich. Just biting into one brings back memories of my childhood.

Here are some grownup ice cream sandwiches that all adults would truly enjoy as you reminisce about the good ol’ days.

This is undoubtedly my favorite holiday probably because french fries are by far my favorite food. The potato really like you can’t go wrong and frying these bad boys up was genius. But ever wonder how french fries got their name? Well I’m here to tell you all about the history of the fry and also share with you a super simple recipe that’ll have you cooking up these salty creations every day!

How French Fries Get Its Name

During WWI the official language of the Belgium army was French so the American soldiers stationed there gave it a name of “French Fries”.

The french fries are so famous that they are the national snack of the Netherlands which is astonishing.

History of the French Fry Day:

The term “French Fried Potatoes” first occurs in print, in English, in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren. However, the data is insufficient to show that from where the day originated the when?

How To Celebrate National French Fry Day:

Just go and buy the best fries and share them with there, friends, a day too.
Use #NationalFrenchFryDay hashtag on Social media to let people know that you are celebrating the Fries day.

Easy French Fry Recipe:

national-french-fries-day-easy-fries-reciepe-768x512

Slice 2 1/2 pounds russet peeled potatoes into French fries, and place them in the freezing cold, it won’t let them brown while you are preparing oil to fry.
Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium to high heat. While the oil is heating up, sift one cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, 1 teaspoon of onion salt, while 1 teaspoon (regular) salt, and 1 teaspoon of paprika into a large bowl. Slowly stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
First, dry the potato slices on the paper towel then put potato slices into the batter one at a time, and throw them into the oil. Make sure to place the fries one at a time in the skillet else they will clump together. Keep them fry until golden brown and crispy is obtained. Remove the fries to paper towels to remove excess oil they soaked up.

French Fry Dipping Sauce:

Combine one cup mayonnaise, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice ½ teaspoon salt a pinch of black pepper together in a medium sized bowl. Stir all the ingredients till smooth. Keep the sauce in fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy a quick made delicious sauce with your fries.

My mouth is salivating as we speak. BRB going to celebrate #nationalfrenchfry day right now! Enjoy everyone!

Pineapple

pineapple

This tangy, sweet fruit has long been recommended as a digestive aid. Pineapple is full of enzymes that help break down proteins, making it an excellent addition to any meal. Pineapple is also stocked with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. It is exceptionally rich in vitamin C and manganese. Pineapple is also a great provider of fiber, B vitamins, and copper. Pineapple is a low calorie fruit that boosts immune function and digestive well-being, prevents macular degeneration, and may attack cancer too.

Summer really is the perfect time to snack on this sweet fruit. Try freezing chunks of pineapple and using them as ice cubes in your drinks!

Healthy (ish) Pasta Dishes!

Posted in Austin Texas Neighborhoods, Healthy Living, Kyle Texas Neighborhoods, Leander Texas Neighborhoods, Recipes, tagged #AustinTexas, #easy, #FirstLadyofRealEstate!, #food, #healthylifestyle, #Monday, #mondaymotivation, #RealEstate, #recipes, #REMAXPoshProperties, #www.AtxMoveNow.com, healthy on June 13, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Even though traditional pasta is just carbs and more carbs, there’s no reason to cut it out entirely. Carbohydrates are still part of a well-rounded, nutritious diet and they’re a good source of energy. Plus, there are ways to incorporate more vegetables, lean protein, and other unprocessed ingredients so that your pasta is more nourishing. That way, you don’t have to turn all your vegetables into “zoodles” (AKA a sad, floppy excuse for spaghetti and linguine).

And, OK, sure, you might want to try whole-wheat or brown rice pasta instead of refined white flour pasta depending on your dietary needs and body composition goals (more info on that here) but if you’re really just looking to make your favorite pastas healthier, these recipes are a good place to start.
