Thank you!!!

We would like to thank everyone for joining us for Art In The...Garden!
We lucked out with such a beautiful day and amazing company.

If you didn't make it out then unfortunately you didn't get to meet the artists and sample some of the delicious snacks, but not to worry! Below are two recipes that we're sure you will enjoy and make sure to pop by next time to see us.

We would also like to announce that our next even is Sunday, September 30th. We will be involved in Culture Days! Please take a look at the event listing HERE.

Apple Cake, recipe from Tawny Bee

2 cups apples -  peeled, cored, diced, Tawny suggest granny smith apples
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
3 cups all purpose flour
3tsp salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup canola oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350F or 175C.
Grease and flour a 10inch bundt or tube pan. In a medium bowl, combine the apples, the 1tsp of sugar, and cinnamon; set aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside as well.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups white sugar, oil, orange juice, vanilla, and eggs. Beat at high speed until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until just incorporated and then add apple mixture. Fold in chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then turn onto wire rack.

Rhubarb Punch, recipe from Nancy Blokland

2 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb
2 cups water
juice of 2 lemons, or 2 tbsp of real lemon
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 liter of 7-up

Cook rhubarb with water until softened. Add lemon juice and sugar and boil again. Strain to remove pulp using a pasta strainer or colander. Once cool, add 7-up, ice, and spirits such as Cuban rum if you choose.

We hope you enjoy these treats as much as we did!
