Maybe you’re not quite ready to hop at the chance to dine out for Easter just yet and prefer to have a helping at home! We have several recipes that we think you’ll love to enjoy with your family this Easter!
Ricotta, Ham and Scallion Tart
Packaged candy is good, but we have a few tricks to turn those confections into a real treat! We get crafty and crazy with fun ways to make baked goods, bars, cakes, and cookies tricked-out into spooky sweets!
Candy Corn Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
‘Tis the season for eggnog, Aunt Betty’s famous mashed potatoes, sugar cookies, and fruit cake (for the 3 people on earth that actually like fruit cake) … it’s also the season for gaining weight. The average person gains 7-10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. So how can we have our cake and eat it too? Well we could get in a quick workout each day, but the calories going out rarely exceed the calories going in. For instance, you can jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes and only have 3 oz of a cocktail or spin on a bike for 30 minutes and you can only enjoy 3/4 cup of egg nog or go on a walk for an hour and that will score you 2 buttered rolls on your plate. So we thought we would come up with some recipes that are still festive, but won’t pack on the pounds.
12 – hard-boiled eggs
24 Tablespoons – Green Chili hummus
Peel eggs, slice in half, dump out yolk, scoop 1 Tablespoon into each half, keep chilled and serve!
These eggs will knock your stockings off, they are so good! Here are some more delicious recipes worth trying …
Green Bean Casserole – Slimmed
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate and Hazelnuts
Secret Ingredient Dark Chocolate Brownies
Cheers, enjoy!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Texas Custom Patios!
We were very pleased with Texas Custom Patios and how our primary contact, Ryan, approached the job. He was very polished and professional and as issues surfaced during the project he was quick to deliver a solid solution. Well worth the investment. We are very pleased with the outcome of this patio and are happy to be a reference to anyone with questions.
We will get back to soon!
