She’s confident she can meet her 1,000 box goal this year. “I sold over my goal last year so I wanted to challenge myself this year,” she said. “I also get a lot of help from my mom and MiMi [Riley’s grandmother] because they have a lot of friends who buy from me. My dad and step mom also help by asking all of their friends and coworkers. I feel like everyone loves girl scout cookies and they can’t say no.” In fact, the product has such a reputation that Riley said she asks, “‘would you like to buy Girl Scout Cookies?’ and they usually just sell themselves. Most of my sales come from my mom and step dad’s bowling league. While they’re bowling, I walk around and sell.” Riley has another tip for Girl Scouts looking for customers. “Sell to your uncles who love playing Xbox,” she said. They will need snacks. My favorite part of selling cookies is seeing how excited everyone is to buy them.” Riley stresses that the funds raised from Girl Scout Cookies stay in the area. “The money from cookie sales helps the troops be able go on different trips and learn new things. Some parents don’t have enough money to send their daughters to camp, so selling cookies helps with the cost of that.”
Riley Venosh of Archbald hopes to sell 1,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies this year.

Geisinger Covers Chiropractic Geisinger Health Plan is a very popular health insurance plan in Lackawanna County. The Good News is that our office accepts Geisinger and in most cases they provide excellent coverage for Chiropractic. Geisinger Gold is their Medicare plan and although there are different policies, in most cases the patient is only responsible for a small copayment each visit. ALL Geisinger Gold policies cover Chiropractic care. Another popular plan is the Geisinger Family Plan which also always covers Chiropractic and no referral is needed. If you have a Geisinger insurance card look on the back and if it says American Specialty Healthy then you will also have good coverage that will include Xrays and all Chiropractic treatment for a $15 to $25 copayment. The last big plan is the PEBTF plan which always covers Chiropractic with no referral for a $5 or $15 copayment. If you have questions, call our office and one of our staff members can help you.

For the love of food BY TERI LYON For the valley advantage
It’s as if we have two Valentine’s Days. One is for lovers – duh! This is the Valentine’s Day where romantic greeting cards and boxes of chocolate fly off the shelves, and where reservations at finedining restaurants reach an all-time high. But there is another Valentine’s Day – the one for kids. This is the one filled with plush teddy bears and parties at school, where there are sweet treats and homemade, decorated boxes of holiday mail for classmates. As a mom, I caught on early that food somehow tasted better to my kids if I made it into different shapes. I am a firm believer in appetizing presentation. On Valentine’s Day in particular, I put a lot of heart into cooking for my angels. I treated them to traditional heart-shaped pancakes and cookies, and went the extra mile with heart-shaped pizza and even heart-shaped cheeseburgers. They were extra yummy because they were obviously made with love.
Now that I am grandmom, I still have a chance to put some extra Valentine’s Day TLC into foods for my granddaughter, Rachel. Looking for something new, I found these clever, easy ideas onfoodnetwork.com for your kids or your sweetheart’s inner child. Enjoy. Don’t Go Bacon My Heart Fold strips of bacon into hearts on a baking sheet (inset with a rack if you have one) and bake at 400° until crisp. The Heart of the Batter Heart-shaped hotcakes take breakfast in bed to a new level. Think of a squeeze bottle filled with batter as your kitchen paintbrush: Squirt a heart outline on a hot griddle, let it start to set, and then flood it with more batter for charming less-thanperfect hotcakes. Cross-My-Heart Cinnamon Twists Shape ropes of puff pastry or pizza dough into hearts; brush with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking. Go over the top with a dipping sauce of warmed chocolate syrup or lavender honey.
Egg-in-a-Heart To upgrade the brunch classic, use a cookie cutter to punch out hearts instead of circles from buttered slices of bread. Fry up the crust pieces, adding eggs to the holes after flipping. Serve the cut-out hearts alongside as “soldiers” for dipping into the yolks. Sealed with a Shrimp For those with a savory bent, two shrimp arranged kissing with curved-sides out make a you-know-what. (Use jumbo if you’re feeling fancy.) Hot Date Cheese Plate Use a mini heart cutter to shape cheddar, Havarti or other semi-firm cheeses into cute little tokens of affection that will appeal to both adults and the toddler set. Home Is Where the Pork Is Nothing says “I love you” like a homecooked meal. Butterfly a boneless pork chop or chicken breast and you have a lean, goodfor-you main that’s fit for the dinner plate of that special someone. For the Love of Fruit A strawberry with shapely “shoulders” becomes a pink and red heart when you

slice it in half lengthwise (cut out a notch at the stem on less-rotund fruit). Use as a cheerful topper for cupcakes, oatmeal and waffles. Heartbeats and Cereal Treats Toss in a handful of cranberries, freezedried strawberries or pink sprinkles to dress up your standard treat mix. Coating a heart-shaped cookie cutter with nonstick spray makes cutting bars from the pan easy.
Valentine’s gifts for your guy
As Valentine’s Day approaches, the pressure is on to find ideal gifts for a special sweetheart. The National Retail Federation indicates shoppers spent around $19.6 billion on Valentine’s Day gifts in 2018, a dramatic increase from the year prior. When gifting the men in their lives, others may be hard pressed to find an ideal gift for the guy who seems to have it all. Even though a small study published in Psychology Today determined that gifting men is seemingly easier than gifting women – regardless of who is doing the buying – there’s a prevailing stereotype that men are hard to buy for. That said, these suggestions for men’s gifts may get the creative gifting juices flowing.
♥ Leather gloves: Leaving home when the weather is frightful can be a challenge. But warm, stylish gloves may help the process along. Look for gloves that also have touchscreen compatible tips, so that he doesn’t have to remove the gloves to send that “I love you” text. ♥ Pixel heart mug: This heat-changing mug is ideal for gamers who realize you need full health, or hearts, to make
it through game play – or the workday. The heart illustration turns red when it’s filled with a hot beverage. This mug is available from Kikkerland on Amazon.
♥ Luxury shave kit: More men are realizing that indulging in quality grooming items does not require checking manliness at the door. In fact, it is quite trendy for men to use products entirely geared toward their skin and hair types, with more masculine scents to boot. ♥ Portable record player: If he’s a music buff and has collected vintage albums through the years, give him a modern way to play them. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled turntable can be a heartfelt and practical gift. ♥ Whiskey-inspired gifts: From whiskey barrel-faced watches to jumbo ice wedges to chill without watering drinks down, whiskey gifts are definitely trending upward. Of course, a good bottle of single-malt is certainly a winning go-to gift as well. ♥ Ticket stub organizer: Whether

2. Anything that requires a bib: lots of people love to crack into a lobster or crab, but eating these shellfish can be incredibly messy. If you’re going to go the seafood route, serve the meat without the shells.

3. Anything too heavy: you might be tempted to serve a robust dish you know your sweetie will love like steak and potatoes. However, eating a heavy meal is more likely to put your love interest to sleep than it is to put him or her in the mood for romance.

4. Anything too complicated: while you might love the idea of making a cheese soufflé or French macaroons, the truth is that these dishes are extremely finicky, even for an experienced chef. It’s best to leave these recipes for a night when there’s less at stake.

Butter up
Crisco makes all the difference in cookie recipe By Gia Mazur Staff Writer
M
arie Froncek knows the best recipes come from family. She and her sister, Theresa, grew up on ones from their mother, the late Mary, while other creations their aunt, the late Bertha Andrejko, made while the Fronceks lived next door. One of Froncek’s favorites was her aunt’s recipe for Filled Butter Cookies, which earned the Jessup resident a $50 grocery gift card. The cookies — which contained either apricot, lekvar or walnut fillings — typically were a holiday treat, and after years of hinting at it, Froncek finally got her hands on the recipe. After she made them a few times, she made a slight change. Froncek replaced half of the butter with butter-flavored Crisco, which yielded a similar cookie with a slightly softer result. “That’s what makes them really fluffy,” Froncek said on a recent day inside the home she shares with her sister. “The butter (only) was too rich and made them a little more crispy. This gives them a lightness.” Froncek said bakers must follow the directions exactly as they are, right down to using their hands to mix together the cookie dough. “I don’t know what it is, but they just don’t come out the same way (with a mixer),” she said with a laugh. “You have to do it that oldfashioned way. You have to use your hands to really mix those ingredients up and work the dough.” While the recipe doesn’t include sugar, the dough must be rolled out on a well-sugared board. The dough will pick up the sugar, leaving the outside dusted with sweet crystals that complement the buttery cookie. “They’re really very good,” Froncek said. “Definitely a favorite.”

Froncek’s Filled Butter Cookies tasted like fluffy, buttery heaven. The cookie was super light but held tons of flavor, thanks in part to the butter-flavored Crisco. The lightly sugared outsides made for the ideal sweetness without ever being overpowering. A bite into the cookie also revealed a sweet crunch from the walnut filling. All of these flavors and textures make Filled Butter Cookies the perfect treat on a snowy day, and they pair well with a piping hot cup of tea or coffee. Froncek is an avid baker, with favorite recipes including Pumpkin Custard Pie, which was her mom’s recipe, and Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread, Kolatchi and Easter Paska Bread. With help from her sister — who Froncek said is more of the cook in the family — Froncek spends lots of time in the kitchen baking goodies before the holidays. A retired teacher, Froncek taught for 36 years in Valley View School District, and she and her sister spend lots of time volunteering at Valley Community Library, especially during the book sales throughout the year. When she’s not in the community, however, Froncek can be found in the kitchen. “I’ve always enjoyed to bake,” she said. “Now I have more time to do it.” Contact the writer: gmazur@ timesshamrock.com; 570-3489127; @gmazurtt on twitter
