Being silly at the Damascus Community Fair

I love being at the Damascus Community Fair! That is my hometown fair and my chance to take a trip down memory lane! It was great to catch up with the King and Queen from 2017 too!

Here is the 2017 video. FLASHBACK!!!!

{Katie’s Kitchen} Apple Pie Bites

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard

(pick your own apples this weekend Sat. Sept 8 & 9th at Catoctin Mountain Orchard)

How can something so easy be SO delicious?! These Apple Pie Bites are the perfect dessert or treat to bring to a friends dinner party.

30 minutes tops and these are ready! These are made with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Start by pre-heating your oven to 375 degrees and lining a baking pan with parchment paper. Then unroll your crescent roll triangles onto the pan and separate the triangles.

In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and apple pie spice together. I made mine a little differently…I couldn’t find apple pie spice, so I made my own by using a half tablespoon of nutmeg, half tablespoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of all spice. I took pinches of brown sugar and coated the triangles, then sprinkles the “apple pie seasoning” that I made over top of it. Press a few (or as many as you like) chopped pecans into the triangle.

Next, cut your Granny Smith apple into thin slices. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and dip your apples in the melted butter before laying them each on the wide end of your triangles.

Then, roll them up! Wrap crescent roll dough around each apple. You can use the remaining butter to brush onto the outside of the rolls and then sprinkle with a little apple pie spice on top.

Place them in the heated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

YUM!!!

Ingredients: I got the recipe here! 

  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice, and additional apple pie spice (about 1/4 teaspoon) for sprinkling on top of crescent rolls
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 small Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced into 8 (1/2-inch) slices
  • 1 (8-ounce) can Pillsbury Original crescent rolls

About Pegasus Equine Services

Providing Equine Dentistry to all farms throughout Virginia & the surrounding states. Registered & Certified in Virginia.

Proper dental care is essential to your horse’s health – it will ensure your horse is more comfortable, utilities feed more efficiently, performs better and may well live longer.

Malocclusions – improper position and contact between teeth – lead to inefficient chewing, bit discomfort, excessive wear and premature loss of teeth. Many horses show no symptoms of dental problems until it is too late.

Horses experiencing oral pain will not be able to perform to the best of their abilities.

Complete oral examinations every six to twelve months and regular preventative dental care allow horses to live a healthier, more comfortable life and to perform better.

If your horse has not had a check-up in the past 12 months, it is time for one now.

A thorough check-up involves using a speculum, looking in the mouth with a good headlamp, and feeling the teeth and gums. Anything less than such a thorough examination could result in a serious dental condition going unnoticed and untreated.

Good News: Sports Dog!

Since 2008, fans of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans minor league baseball team have been entertained at home games by the team dog, Deuce, who hung out in the Pro Shop, delivered fresh baseballs to the umpire and circled the bases after each win.

Well, Deuce retired last week – and the team celebrated his retirement by letting him run those bases one more time.

Fans in the stands cheered as Deuce collected treats placed on each of the bases – and then sent him off with a big ovation when he crossed home plate.

While it was bittersweet to see Deuce ending his long career, the fans and the team were also thankful and appreciative for all the smiles Deuce delivered through the years. (For The Win)
