Happy March everyone! This month snuck up on me as well. If the months keep passing this quickly,it’ll be 2018 before we know it. With March comes (almost) the beginning of Spring so I know we are all itching to start growing our own fresh fruits and vegetables to use in our recipes. So here’s a look at what’s in season for March and what yummy concoctions you can come up with to use all of these incredible ingredients.

Cherry Pie Day!

Posted in Austin Texas Neighborhoods, Kyle Texas Neighborhoods, Leander Texas Neighborhoods, Recipes, tagged #Austinrealestate, #Austinrealtor, #cherrypieday, #easy, #facts, #FirstLadyofRealEstate!, #Monday, #mondaymotivation, #presidentsday, #recipe, #REMAX, #REMAXPoshProperties, #www.AtxMoveNow.com on February 20, 2017| Leave a Comment »

Happy Monday everyone! And what a happy Monday it is, because who doesn’t like pie. What better way to start off the week than with National Cherry Pie Day. Here are some facts you may not have known about this pie that doesn’t get nearly as much recognition.

The word ‘cherry’ comes from the Turkish town of Cerasus.
Cherries belong to the rose family.
Canada holds the record for baking the biggest cherry pie in the world. A pie weighing 39,683 pounds was baked in Oliver, British Columbia which broke the record that was earlier held by Traverse City
Once upon a time, serving ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas was prohibited.
Cherry pie is the fifth popular pie in the US – beaten only by Apple, Pumpkin, Pecan and Banana Cream.

Of course I couldn’t leave you without a recipe, so here is a tried and true recipe for cherry pie. Enjoy!

Cherry Pie

ji_20731_s4x3-jpg-rend-hgtvcom-616-462

Ingredients

4 cups fresh or frozen tart cherries
1 to 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 tablespoon almond extract (optional)
Your favorite pie crust or pie dough recipe for 2 crust pie
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, to dot
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, to sprinkle

Directions

Place cherries in medium saucepan and place over heat. Cover. After the cherries lose considerable juice, which may take a few minutes, remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Pour this mixture into the hot cherries and mix well. Add the almond extract, if desired, and mix. Return the mixture to the stove and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and let cool. If the filling is too thick, add a little water, too thin, add a little more cornstarch.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Use your favorite pie dough recipe. Prepare your crust. Divide in half. Roll out each piece large enough to fit into an 8 to 9-inch pan. Pour cooled cherry mixture into the crust. Dot with butter. Moisten edge of bottom crust. Place top crust on and flute the edge of the pie. Make a slit in the middle of the crust for steam to escape. Sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool.

Happy National Backwards Day!

Posted in Austin Texas Neighborhoods, Healthy Living, Kyle Texas Neighborhoods, Leander Texas Neighborhoods, Recipes, tagged #Austinrealestate, #Austinrealtor, #chocolate, #dessert, #dessertfordinner, #dinner, #easy, #FirstLadyofRealEstate!, #nationalbackwardsday, #peanutbutter, #pretzels, #REMAX, #REMAXPoshProperties, #www.AtxMoveNow.com on January 31, 2017| Leave a Comment »

It’s National Backwards Day. So I thought a fun way to celebrate would be to eat your dessert before dinner. I mean let’s face it, some of us tend to do that anyway. Here is a recipe for one of my go to desserts on any given day. Super easy to make and tastes just as delicious. Enjoy!

Triple Dipped Peanut Butter Chocolate Covered Pretzels

20160124-triple-dipped-peanut-butter-pretzels-9-680x1020

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups dark chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
15-20 large pretzel rounds (I used the 2″ish diameter ones, as opposed to the 1″ tiny ones)

DIRECTIONS:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring frequently, until melted. Dunk pretzels into the melted chocolate and allow excess chocolate to drip off (is there such a thing as excess chocolate? not sure.). Place chocolate covered pretzels on a piece of wax paper that is on top of a baking sheet (i didn’t have wax paper so I used a piece of foil rubbed down with coconut oil). Place pretzels in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until hardened.

Now, place your peanut butter and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until thinned. Dunk chocolate covered pretzels into the peanut butter mixture and place back on the wax paper. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes.

Finally, melt the remaining 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Dip frozen chocolate-pb pretzels into the chocolate and place on a clean sheet of wax paper. Place in the freezer until hard. I like to store my pretzels in the freezer and grab them as craved.

Enjoy! Your Realtor and Friend for Life~ Kathy

Freaky Friday Foods!

Posted in Austin Texas Neighborhoods, Healthy Living, Kyle Texas Neighborhoods, Leander Texas Neighborhoods, Recipes, tagged #Austinrealestate, #Austinrealtor, #FirstLadyofRealEstate!, #Freaky, #Freakyfoods, #Fridaythe13th #Friday, #REMAX, #REMAXPoshProperties, #scary, #superstition, #Superstitious, #www.AtxMoveNow.com on January 13, 2017| Leave a Comment »

Happy Friday the 13th! Even if you aren’t superstitious or afraid of the number 13, you may be slightly freaked out by some of these foods on this list. After you’re done reading this post, comment below if you’ve ever tried any of these food or plan to in the future!

Squid Ink Pasta

squid

I don’t have a problem with this lovely pasta dyed with squid ink, but some find eating black pasta to be just a bit too freaky.

Scrapple

scrapple

Quite a few have been quick to add scrapple to the freaky food list. Based on the definition, I can see why it makes the list. What’s not a little frightening about a loaf of savory mush from cornmeal, flour, and pork scraps?

Sweetbreads

sweetbreads

Many people simply can’t wrap their heads around the fact that they’re eating the thymus gland of a baby cow.

Chicken Feet

chicken

Chicken feet are a delicacy that are usually served in Chinese dim sum; they’re often deep-fried, then boiled and marinated in a black bean sauce. There are, however, a ton of little bones. It’s gross to look at and, quite frankly, just doesn’t have enough payoff.

Blood Sausage

black Anything with the word “blood” in it deserves to be on the freaky list. Black pudding — which actually has very little to do with pudding and a lot to do with blood — is a sausage made by cooking animal blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal.

So tell me, which food on this list are you DYING to try?

Have a great and safe weekend!
