LIFESTYLE LETTER

October - The Food & Drink Issue Welcome Fall! With the changing seasons comes a change in what we are craving, and with fall that often means comfort food. October is our most delectable issue of the year, filled with some of our favorite dishes and beverages available in McKinney and Prosper. We had the pleasure of sitting down with the chef at CT Provisions Cocktail Parlor and Kitchen and learned about what their fall menu will be boasting.—so get your tastebuds ready, you are in for a treat. We also included a few new recipes for you to try at home, whether you’re cooking for just your family or for entertaining guests. There is an art to creating a flavorful dish that not only satisfies our taste buds but evokes memories. The aroma of certain spices and foods can bring us right back to our childhood kitchen table, which can be incredibly powerful and comforting. Food brings us all together, and whether we are sharing a meal with loved ones or enjoying a night out on the town, the time spent while enjoying food is invaluable. As always, thanks for reading, and we’ll see you around town!

We have survived and succeeded on a nickel and dime budget, and a lot of luck, sweat and hard work.”

CT Provisions, located in downtown McKinney at 205 W. Louisiana St., has defied odds since opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that the National Restaurant Association estimates a 30% failure rate in the restaurant industry, that means one in three restaurants won’t survive their first year. CT Provisions has not only been surviving, but its team is also thriving. “Despite all the reasons why we should not be, here we are,” says Steven Terry, CT Provisions owner and general manager. “We did not receive any PPP or COVID assistance money, we do not have a wealthy financial backer, although Jeff Taylor, proprietor, has stood behind us every step of the way. We have survived and succeeded on a nickel and dime budget, and a lot of luck, sweat and hard work.” As the nation emerges from the pandemic, there are new obstacles facing restaurants. It's estimated that restaurants with a price point between $25 and $35 business are down 35%. Steven equates shifting business to face this new hurdle to being in a band. “CT Provisions is like my little band that can. I am always having to be creative and think of different ways to make things work. Sometimes you just have to go out there and keep playing your song over and over until someone hears it,” he says. Hard work has paid off. CT Provisions recently was given love by Eater Magazine, being listed as one of the 38 Essential Restaurants in the Dallas area and 11 Essential McKinney Restaurants. Culture Maps listed CT Provisions as a place to go in the 18 most livable cities in the United States.

H OT SP OT | FOOD + BEV E RAGE

From its décor to its menu, everything at CT Provisions is handcrafted. The menu is inspired by the idea of simple and honest cooking where guests will enjoy a dining experience featuring fresh and sustainable ingredients. Each dish is mouthwatering and unforgettable, giving guests a dining experience like no other. Guests come from all over the Metroplex to eat the restaurant’s PEI (Prince Edward Island Seafood) oysters. Equal to the food, CT Provisions is also making a name for itself for its creative vision behind the bar, headed by bar manager and owner Matt Walker. From Japanese whiskey and fine wine to carefully crafted drinks that complement each dish, the menu behind the bar is incredible. “Matt Walker is like a walking encyclopedia behind the bar,” says Steven. “Everything he crafts will knock your socks off.” CT Provisions highlights an aperitif and oyster hour Tuesday through Friday from 2-5 p.m. and dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5-10 p.m., in addition to a Sunday brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Three nights a week the restaurant has special bar offerings from open to close. Each Tuesday is $8 classic cocktails and first responder night. Whiskey Wednesdays give $5 off any whiskey, and Thursdays are half-priced bottle wine night. Each Friday and Saturday night features a special dinner menu option, not on the regular menu. 469.631.0707 CTProvisions.com

palms and garden center When Leo and Caroline Yruegas launched North Texas Palms & Pottery in 2006, they rented a permanent spot on the McKinney Trade Days property. For more than 15 years, this location served them well. However, because the property was sold in 2021, the couple needed to find a new location. They bought an 8-acre lot in McKinney at 3565 FM1461 that previously was a horse farm, and during October, are celebrating their one-year location anniversary. Their retail and wholesale nursery provides cold hardy palms, Bermuda sod, fruit trees, Homeowners Association-approved shrubs, shade and ornamental trees, flowers, drought-tolerant plants, firewood, chemical products, eye-catching pottery and holiday/Christmas decorations. "The new property enables us to have more greenhouses and grow our own annuals and perennials,” Leo says.

RELOCATED PLANT NURSERY CELEBRATES LOCATION ANNIVERSARY, SPECIALIZES IN HARDY OPTIONS FOR NORTH TEXAS ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON

“The new property enables us to have more greenhouses and grow our own annuals and perennials.”

Various types of palm trees, all suited for North Texas weather conditions, are available, confirms Caroline. Routinely, they carry the following unique cold hardy palms: California Fan; Florida Sabal; Mediterranean/ European Fan; Pindo; Texas Sabal; and Windmill. The palms range from 1 foot to 16 feet tall and are priced from $45 to $1,500. She says they also carry Live Oaks, Red Oaks and other traditional landscape items. Fun Fact: Texas has two native palm trees that grow in the wild, the Mexican palmetto (Sabal Mexicana) and the dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor).

"Our knowledgeable staff can help customers select from among all sorts of plants, including agave, annuals, bamboo, fruit trees, grasses, ground covers, roses, Texas sun- and shade-loving perennials, tropicals, vines and yuccas," Leo adds. Jackie Lyles, the nursery's general manager, says their fall anniversary special will be a free pumpkin with every three, 10-inch mum plants purchased. "We'll be transitioning into Christmas lawn art repairs and winterization of trees and plants. We'll also have expanded Mexican pottery selections, fountains and bird baths," she says. A significant announcement is that the nursery team is introducing its own brand of palm food. "We worked all summer on creating a specially formulated food, with the assistance of fertilizing experts at Nelson Plant Food," Jackie reveals. North Texas Palms & Pottery staffers also repair Christmas mini-light yard decorations and holiday lights for homeowners. "Light up your yard with an array of beautiful Christmas décor. From light-up nativity scenes to trains to reindeer, we can do it all," proclaims Leo. North Texas Palms & Pottery Hours: Mondays through Saturdays; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.//Seasonal Sundays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They will be closed on Nov. 24. 972.542.8620 NorthTexasPalms.com Tip: Palm trees should get a three-foot deep soaking in a six-foot wide basin every 10 or 12 days, rather than a shallow watering once a week.

NEW TRAINING ACADEMY PUTS MORE HUGS IN THE COMMUNITY

The Hugs Training Academy Lead Teacher Betsy Leal, Director Of Development Lauren Smith, Board Member Chris Thompson, and Founder and President Ruth Thompson

I NSP IR E D BY | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

Since opening its doors in October 2015, Hugs Cafe has been employing adults with special needs and developmental disabilities. The nonprofit has recently launched the Hugs Training Academy, an initiative aimed at helping adults with special needs join the workforce. “The Hugs Training Academy is a concept that we created because no one that we were directly employing was leaving either our café or greenhouse programs, and as we all know the restaurant industry is struggling with retaining talent during and post-pandemic,” says Lauren Smith, director of development for Hugs Café Inc. “The Texas Restaurant Association was aware of our skills and talent in special needs directly and they asked us if it was possible to package what we do into a program that could support other employment locations.” CONTINUED >

OCTOBER 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/MC K I N N E YA N D P R O S P E R

Hugs Café staff started working with several special education teachers with over 125 years of combined education experience to build a 12-week culinary curriculum. The curriculum is focused on providing entry-level skills to students, so they are ready to enter the workforce in the culinary or hospitality fields. Some of these skills include food prep, knife handling, baking, customer service, communication, personal responsibility, and other industry and work-specific skills. Upon completion of the program, individuals will receive their food handler certification and be paired with a Hugs Cafe employment partner, such as Jason’s Deli, Marriott, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, and Snooze Eatery. Betsy Leal is the lead teacher for the training academy. She has over 15 years of adaptive learning experience working in public and private school special education programs. She is supported by two teacher assistants, allowing for a 4:1 teacher ratio. Volunteers also assist in the classroom allowing for more one-on-one instruction during challenging lessons. Classes have a maximum capacity of 12 students. The training academy is open to anyone at least 18 years old, interested in the culinary or hospitality fields,

has a desire to be employed, and has an intellectual or developmental disability. The cost to attend the Hugs Training Academy is $2,750 per semester. Tuition fees can be covered in multiple ways, including self-pay, scholarships, business-sponsored, and soon through the Texas Workforce Commission. Future plans include a permanent training academy facility in downtown McKinney, just east of the Hugs Café complex. Classes are currently held at Trinity Presbyterian Church in McKinney until funds are raised to build the new facility. “It is such a blessing for us to have an opportunity to bring people things that they’re interested in and really break down barriers and change lives in a new way,” says Smith. “This is a game changer for us. This is just the beginning of how we can impact lives and continue to provide quality, supportive services to the special needs community.” To donate funds to support the training academy, volunteer in the classroom, or for more information on Hugs Training Academy visit hugscafe.org.

'SHARING OUR TABLE' TO ELIMINATE HUNGER

KITCHEN

Angela Poen

EAT R IGH T | FOOD + BEVE RAGE

Such Wonderful Volunteers!

On June 7, nearly 19 months after breaking ground, Community Garden Kitchen officially opened its doors. Community Garden Kitchen serves freshly prepared, healthy meals with the goal to eliminate hunger in the community. In 2014, a group of women was sitting around a kitchen table for a Bible study when they started talking about food insecurity in the community. The statistics they discovered were astounding. According to a study done in 2020 by Feeding America, there are approximately 110,000 food insecure people in Collin County, which is 11% of the population. Of those food insecure people, 28% of them are under the age of 18. From this discussion, Community Garden Kitchen was born. Community Garden Kitchen serves freshly prepared meals for free in a restaurant-style setting. An executive chef selects a different menu each day. Walking into Community Garden Kitchen is warm and inviting. Small tables are used to help reduce guest anxiety. Guests are seated and served by a waitstaff. Meals are presented on real plates with real silverware. The meal ends with a tray of assorted desserts from which the diner can select. “We have worked hard to create a space that is comfortable and friendly,” says founder and president Angela Poen. “We serve beautiful food in a beautiful place, allowing people to dine with dignity.” Diners do not need to show any identification or fill out paperwork to eat at Community Garden Kitchen. Angela says there is a wide variety of diners, from individuals to families with children to senior citizens just looking to break the loneliness cycle. She says almost 75 percent of diners live in their car. Each evening a different nonprofit will have a space in the restaurant at a designated table where representatives from that organization may discuss and distribute literature to interested parties about the services which are available. There is also access to mental health personnel if wanted. Community Garden Kitchen is run purely on volunteers and donations. The only paid employee is the executive chef. On the property is a quarter-acre garden, which is used to help supply some of the fresh produce used in preparing the meals. Other food used in meal preparation is donated from local grocery stores and organizations. Funds come from individual donations, corporate sponsors, grants, and events. Dinner on Me is a new fundraising campaign, allowing individuals and groups to sponsor the evening meal for $500. Community Garden Kitchen is located at 501 Howard Street in McKinney. The kitchen is currently open Monday through Thursday from 6-8 p.m. CommunityGardenKitchen.org

Crescent Moon Lodge And Retreat Center Offers Respite And Peace

T R AV E L J OU R N A L | HEALTH + W E LLNE S S

Since 2012, the Crescent Moon Lodge and Retreat Center has served as a sanctuary for those desiring to get away from the fast-paced hustle and bustle of life. Located just outside of Rattan across the Texas-Oklahoma border, the Crescent Moon Lodge and Retreat Center provides comfort and quiet reflection amid natural beauty in the wooded hills of the Kiamichi Wilderness. The Crescent Moon Lodge and Retreat Center was founded by Dr. Suzanne Hales, a licensed professional counselor, certified Imago therapist, and a Swiss-trained Jungian analyst who owns and operates Counseling and Consulting Associates of North Texas in McKinney. She desired to have a place where people could come and heal and achieve internal peace. “There is an old belief that one cannot enter into a sacred place and leave the same as he was before he entered,” says Dr. Hales. “My hope for all of our visitors is that they leave renewed and restored after relaxing and spending time among nature in this place of comfort and refuge.” The 160-acre property has been Hales’ family since 1941. In 2005 LaVerne Ewing, Dr. Hales’ mother, built a 5,000-squarefoot log cabin. In fall 2020 Ewing died and shortly after Dr. Hales opened the retreat center as a place of respite. The name is symbolic as one experiences the crescent moon rise above the tree line, it shines enough light for one to see the next step, but it does not show the whole journey. The journey is often mysterious and mystical as often are our lives, just able to sometimes see the next step, hopefully experiencing a glimpse of solace to find oneself under the light of the crescent moon.

The Crescent Moon Lodge and Retreat Center amenities make for an upscale stay. The 5,000-square-foot lodge features an open f loor plan and sleeps over 24 people with six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The great room showcases panoramic views from the large windows and an oversized fireplace with enough space for guests to relax. Guests can cook their meals in a completely stocked gourmet kitchen. Groups larger than 10 can request a chef-prepared farm-to-table meal option made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. An outdoor hot tub provides relaxation and guests can enjoy the outside sounds on the patio or the large wraparound porch. The landscape features a river, which runs through the property, a large pond, and a natural spring-fed lake that is stocked for the interest of people who enjoy fishing. Guests can often watch the deer, eagles, turkeys, and numerous other birds and wildlife that call the property their home. There is a handmade stone labyrinth for walking meditation. The Crescent Moon Lodge and Retreat Center is the ultimate getaway, one which will bring peace and solitude to its guests, whether it be corporations or personal getaways, family reunions, weddings, and retreats -- all seeking a breath of relaxation and fresh air among the stillness and quiet solitude of the Kiaamischi wilderness of Southeast Oklahoma.

HEALTHY MAPLE GLAZED PUMPKIN MUFFINS These Healthy Maple Glazed Pumpkin Muffins use whole grains, less oil, and less sugar to make a jumbo fall muffin. Yummm. INGREDIENTS For the Muffins • 2 cups whole wheat flour • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 2 teaspoons baking soda • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1 teaspoon each cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 3/4 cup granulated sugar • 2 cups pumpkin puree • 1/2 cup olive oil • 1/4 cup real maple syrup • 3 tablespoons milk • 3 eggs For the Glaze • 2 tablespoons butter • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar • 1 teaspoons vanilla • 1 tbs. maple syrup • 1–2 tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix the dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar). In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (pumpkin, oil, maple syrup, milk, and eggs). 2. Combine the dry and wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring until just combined. Fill each muffin tin almost to the top with a scoop of batter – I like to use an old-fashioned ice cream scoop with the little thumb press to get a nice rounded top.

3. Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are puffy and spring back when you press them. Remove from the muffin pan and let cool before glazing. 4. For the glaze, melt butter in saucepan. Add powdered sugar and vanilla – it will be thick and sticky. Stir in maple syrup. Add water until desired consistency is reached. CONTINUED > OCTOBER 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E .

L ive Music, Fun THE GIN: SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE ARTICLE BY JODIE BROWND

The Gin venue is a quaint and rustic gathering spot in Prosper at 204 W. Broadway, with a sentimental history, reminding us of days gone by. Prosper was a tiny, little North Texas town that was once just a working gin and train track next to a small cafe for gin workers and townspeople. The food, nostalgia and promise of a good home-cooked meal were about all the town of Prosper needed back in the day. Fast forward 20 years, and sprinkle in a few new schools, stores and a few hundred thousand people, and one can appreciate what has stayed the same at The Gin, while also enjoying the new and exciting social aspect that offers up a dance floor and stage for live music -- a stage that has become a launching pad for new, upcoming musicians and vocal artists. The Gin has a phenomenal and creative menu of classics, with twists on old favorites that are sure to please even the most particular palettes. They serve craft and domestics on tap and bottle. Whether it’s eggs over easy, Hot Cheeto Elote, fried pickles, The Don pizza, Caprese bruschetta, sopapilla cheesecake or Cindy’s apple pie, there seems to be something for everyone at The Gin. 972.347.3202 TheGinProsperTX.com
