The integration of Castle Hills formally into the City of Lewisville through Annexation is moving forward, with a target date of December 2021.

The Meaning Behind
“The Dog Days of Summer”
August is here! Have you ever wondered why we call August “The Dog Days of Summer?”
The month itself gets its name from Caesar Augustus, adopted son of Julius Caesar. We have always associated the month with heat and humidity and refer to this time of year as the “dog days of summer”.

Cauliflower Hash Brown Egg Cups
Recipe By: CANDACE BRAUN DAVISON and CHARLOTTE GREFFIN
Riced cauliflower replaces hash browns in these breakfast cups. Filled with a runny baked egg and plenty of bacon. They are the perfect low-carb breakfast at the start of a busy day.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets and steamed
- 2 c. shredded cheddar
- 14 large eggs, divided
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- Finely chopped chives (optional), for serving
- Freshly ground black pepper, for serving
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.
- Drop steamed cauliflower into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine grains form, no bigger than the size of rice.
- Pour ground cauliflower onto paper towels and twist to wring out excess liquid. Do this up to three times until cauliflower becomes completely dry.
- Transfer dry cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Add cheddar, 2 eggs, garlic powder, and salt and stir to combine.
- Distribute mixture evenly between muffin tins, about 1/4 cup each. Use your fingers to press mixture into the sides and bottom of each cup to form nests.
- Bake nests for 15 to 17 minutes until edges are golden.
