If you haven’t caught on from our past few post, here at Those Callaways we love food.
And we want to share our crowd favorite recipes with you!
Authentic Potstickers, Chocolate so good it could kill….

Some of us may have gained weight, but we’re okay with it. Homemade “Death by Chocolate”, a mammoth Snickers bar and many other sweet treats make the mild weight gain and elevated blood sugar worth it. After all, it was just one week! Can’t wait for next year…

Walking through the kitchen in our home office may not initially seem like a daunting task. However, when goodies occupy Temptation Island, a simple trip to the copy machine, past the homemade Raspberry Lemon Cake waiting to be eaten, can be quite difficult indeed.
Those Callaways participated in the company’s first Coronado Historic District Home Tour and Street Fair this Sunday, March 4, 2012. We were proud to showcase our listing on 516 E. Willetta St. in the East Evergreen Historic District of Phoenix, AZ. The home was held open just down the way from our Home Tour booth on Sheridan Street. The two beautiful 24in x 36in portraits of the home that we were excited to share at our booth portrayed the home’s historic beauty perfectly.
The gorgeous weather made for a wonderful day to be outside and we were excited to have giveaways that went like hotcakes. Over 70 vendors created an amazing array of diversity which included earthenware shops, jewelry boutiques, canine massage booths, acupuncture practitioners, candle-makers, real estate companies and photographers, just to name a few. To satisfy the palette, there were food vendors offering everything from fry bread to beef jerky and many things in between.
In addition to the wonderful vendors, Coronado presented its 2nd Annual Coronado Classic Car Show. One of the classic cars was parked right across the street from our booth and was a pleasure to look at.
We sincerely hope to be involved in next year’s event. It was a great opportunity to get out of the office and onto the street (pun intended) to meet the residents of one of the many Arizona neighborhoods in which we do our business. The opportunity to meet fellow Arizonans and visitors alike is second to none at community events like this and we enjoyed connecting with the community. We met many interesting individuals and made many memorable contacts with individuals looking to buy or sell homes and we’re thrilled to be able to help them.
The atmosphere of the Historic District Home Tour was a jovial one created by good food and good people.We can’t wait for next year!
** A special thank you to our agent Donna and her husband who manned our Those Callaways booth together and our agents Madeline and Melody who showed our home on 516 E. Willetta St. throughout the day.
Our beautiful home for sale in the East Evergreen Historic District is a serene Southwestern bungalow built in 1916 which would be wonderful for either residential or commercial purposes.

Our Callaway team members have big hearts and are generous beyond words.
With the new school year approaching, our thoughts turned to days gone by when our little ones first started school. Excitement and anticipation filled the air as we shopped together for new clothes, new shoes and most importantly, those wonderful school supplies….a brand new back pack, notebooks, pencils and that fabulous box of freshly sharpened Crayola crayons!
We were all blessed to have been able to provide those things for our own children and this year we wanted to do something special for children in the Phoenix area who only dream of something new to take to class on their first day.
Word of our new endeavor quietly spread throughout the office and soon everyone was pitching in. A special thanks to everyone at the Callaway office for donating enough money to purchase new backpacks, notebooks, markers, crayons, scissors, glue sticks, erasers, pens and pencils to give to needy children.
Everyone pitched in this year to bring boxes and boxes of food as a donation to the Post Office Food Drive. We even raided the Callaway office kitchen (don’t tell) for coffee and other delicious morsels.
Actually Joseph and JoAnn graciously donated from their cupboards and we added items from our home pantries. It’s a great feeling to help others and we try to take advantage of every opportunity to participate.
The next time your nice post-person asks for food donations, clean out your pantry, put down new shelf paper and re-organize! You’ll feel better and someone will be very grateful for your donations.

Joseph and JoAnn asked the staff to submit new ideas to make our blog even better and more informative. Everyone participated with great ideas from content suggestions to artistic design elements. Here is the winning video.
