OCEAN HEIGHTS Vacation Home Sleeps 7

Stylish and modern, we rated Ocean Heights home 5 out of 5 stars based on the following rating criteria: HOME DESIGN 5 out of 5 HOST & ENTERTAIN 5 out of 5 AMENITIES 5 out of 5 RESTFUL & RELAXING 5 out of 5 WELCOMING 5 out of 5 The high-end design and décor, along with wellstocked amenities, leaves nothing to be desired.

Amenities include comfortable sleeping with quality mattresses, ample bedding and linens, cooking utensils, flatware, dishes and glassware.

You will find all of the major appliances (and then some) in the modern kitchen. Cooking up a gourmet holiday meal will be a cinch!

The home sits on a quiet hillside, set above the oceanfront. Many old growth and newly budding trees surround the home, covering it with a blanket for sound buffering. Friendly neighbors are quiet and spotted on rare occasions.

Two balconies offer a picturesque spot to soak in the surroundings and enjoy the peace and quiet. This is a great home to forget about the outside world and relax.

The home is located within walking distance of the ocean and a longer walk (or short drive) to the local market, quaint boutiques such as Moxie Fair Trade with quality, sustainable finds from home goods to scarves and jewelry. Shops line the main street, Laneda Ave, with plenty of options for gathering goods for special occasions or souvenirs. The local bakery is just around the corner with delicious pies and pastries to gobble up with a cup of freshly ground morning Joe.

hen planning to host a holiday in a destination location, determine what to bring and what to pick up locally. Communicate in advance with the rental agency or home owner to help with your organization plans.

Determine what ammenities the home offers such as appliances, stemware, flatware and serving pieces. If you plan on holiday baking, ask whether the home provides an electric mixer, sheet pans, cooling racks, mixing bowls, serving bowls etc. Select a vacation home based upon what extras are offered, which will help to create a more memorable holiday tradition away from home.

For added convenience, ship the items that will not be used until you arrive. Holiday clothing and gift wrap can also be shipped to avoid unnecessary bulk while traveling.

Take the gang out on a shopping spree to prepare for the occasion. Pick up special Christmas gifts with local flair, specialty foods and unique or homemade treasures for decorating. It will be a great bonding experience with everyone joining in to prepare for the holiday happenings. Local stores may offer gift wrap services to keep your prep to a minimum. Experience gifts such as tickets to local attractions are also a great idea while on vacation.

Bringing special holiday ornaments, family mementos, and keepsakes such as stockings will make your family event both traditional and special. Planning traditional events away from home can be just as memorable. The key is determining what items the home provides and what items to pack. If you are traveling in a car, you may be able to stow special items and gifts. If you are traveling by plane, make arrangements with the home owner or rental agency to have items shipped in advance and stored until you arrive. Plan to shop several weeks ahead of your travel schedule to allow time for packing and shipping. Organize all gifts, decor items, and personal belongings according to when they will be needed.

Pendleton速 Woolen Mills Silver Bark Blanket This original design dates back to the 1920s and was recently rediscovered in a private collection. As with most Native American-inspired designs, it pays tribute to the beauty of nature bringing the sky and earth together in a classic Pendleton design. It features arrow, star, diamond and water bug motifs in colors inspired by the white and gray bark of Aspen trees against a blue sky. Cherished for the subtle colors that give it the much-loved look of an older blanket, it's a stunning example of an overall pattern.

TIP How to create a traditional holiday experience while traveling to a destination location: Travel with traditional holiday baking products such as festive cupcake kits, spatulas and cookie cutters to create a holiday home away from home. If your party planning includes entertaining children, pack plenty of festive party supplies. Nothing gets the gang in the party spirit better than starkly pinwheels, party cups, and oh-so-delicious cupcakes!

Shipping your favorite holiday supplies to the destination location is a great option to save on time and space while traveling. Check with the vacation home about shipping the must-have items in advance. Purchasing paper products and whimsical decorations from suppliers such as Meri Meri, specialists in bakeware, gifts, party supplies, and invitations will help to create an unforgettable, festive holiday experience.

The 'Be Jolly' collection by Meri Meri, includes Santa and reindeer themed supplies for baking, preserve sets, tea towels, treat boxes and decorations.

SatsumaSalad Recipe Recipe & Photos by Lindsea Dragomir http://houseofharvest.com/

LINDSEA DRAGOMIR During the holiday months, I discovered my love for Satsuma oranges. They are so beautiful!

When in season, I enjoy their tart, zingy flavor as much as possible. They lend a unique bite to salads such as my Satsuma Orange and Arugula recipe, but feel free to try any citrus such as Clementine’s, tangerines, and oranges as well. Alternatively, I have used apples, yum!

I also decorate with Satsuma’s as much as possible. I like to tuck their gnarled leaves anywhere that needs a little touch of nature and fresh greenery like next to my favorite picture frame, wreathes, and around the base of candles.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread with Eggnog Glaze PREP: 10 MINS

TOTAL TIME: 60 MINS (plus cooling time) SERVINGS: 1 loaf

Recipe & Photo by Brandie Kajino SpoonAndSaucer.com

◦◦ ◦◦ ◦◦ ◦◦ ◦◦

INGREDIENTS 2 cups (240g) gluten-free flour blend 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 large eggs 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup maple syrup 1 cup canned pumpkin puree EGGNOG GLAZE 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1-2 tablespoon eggnog

◦

◦

DIRECTIONS BREAD Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8” x 4“ loaf pan (measure and double check), line with parchment paper if desired.

In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients (flour thru salt) until well blended. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients (eggs thru pumpkin puree). Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix (by hand) until just blended. Pour mixture into greased loaf pan, and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes. The bread will be golden brown, and a skewer inserted in the center will come out clean.

Set on a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Gently remove from pan, and let sit on a wire rack until completely cooled.

GLAZE Into a small liquid measuring cup, add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon eggnog.

Whisk until completely mixed and smooth. Add up to one additional tablespoon of eggnog if not pourable (but still thick like pancake batter).

Drizzle the glaze on top of the cooled bread, and let sit until the glaze has dried. Slice the bread and enjoy!

HOLIDAY BAKING

PREP CHECKLIST

Whether baking Paleo desserts, or traditional holiday treats, the right tools and planning goes a long way. With a little planning and preparation, creating a holiday bread, pie or simple cookies for Santa, is a piece of cake!

Taking a little extra time to plan your holiday baking will make the process a lot more enjoyable.

When prepping for your holiday baking, make a checklist of the tools you may need. You will need at least two mixing bowls, typically one for wet and one for dry ingredients. Smaller bowls can be used for mixing eggs and can hold frosting or cake toppings.

Un-iced cookies, breads, fudge, lefse and bars are good options to make ahead. The key is wrapping the items well in air-tight containers. Set between sheets of wax paper to keep them deliciously fresh. Freezing baked items a few weeks before the festivities also allows for traveling or unexpected guests that stop by for pre-holiday fun.

Measuring spoons and cups will be needed to be precise. When measuring for cakes or cookies, scoop flour directly into the cup or spoon and scrape off excess with a knife.

An electric mixer or hand mixer is great for mixing cake batter. Beat your butter and sugar until fluffy, then use a lower speed to mix in dry ingredients. A mixer is also handy when making frosting.

Will you be freezing the goodies or serving right away?

Are you making traditional goodies for events or a festive cookie swap?

Whether serving holiday treats at your family party or taking to the annual cookie swap, one thing is for sure: You want to do your best to make delicious treats to share!

Novogratz FAMILY!

usband and wife design duo Courtney and Robert Novogratz have designed and developed many unique homes for over twenty years. They, along with their seven children, share 2014 gift buying, traditions and holiday travel tips to help with your holiday planning.

What’s on top of your holiday shopping list this season?

We are really into inexpensive art for the kids. Check out The Jealous Curator (online) for great art for $25.

We are also buying the kid’s books and vinyl records.

What are your favorite holiday designs or decorating trends?

We love using images, photos and old holiday cards from the past and then turn them into wall decals and wall paper. Shutterfly is such a great resource for this. We actually have a collection of our favorites with Shutterfly. http://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/collections/novogratz-for-shutterfly

Do you have any holiday decorating rituals?

We always make our holiday tables active. We go around the table where people have to sing a song, tell a joke or a great story from the past.

Do you have a favorite Novogratz family holiday tradition?

We read The Night Before Christmas every Christmas Eve and watch holiday movies. The Grinch and Love Actually are two of our favorites.

How do you travel with such a large family? Do you have any holiday travel tips for readers traveling with kids?

We love to stay home, but travel a lot to our home in Brazil as well. Travel tips are to pack light and always leave a day before everyone else. A great idea is to take your family on a trip and not exchange gifts that year, as the trip is a gift you will always remember.

COOL WEATHER

calls for cozy layers

arm up the chill in the air with the season’s best layered looks by Eileen Fisher, Free People, INC and San Diego Hat Co. Dressing for cool weather doesn’t have to mean frumpy. Actually, the best looks of the season give dressing warm a whole new meaning. Chic cashmere, soft wool and a styled poncho paired with adorable boyfriend denim or stylish leather-blocked leggings, will keep you warm and ready for what the season brings.

Slip into a sublime pullover sweater in warm shades of orange, rust, dusty gray and blue for a striking office look and easy-to-transition piece for evenings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to transitioning sweaters into day-to-night looks. Mix sweater jackets, pullovers, and cardigans with a floppy Fedora or perfectly chic cloche.

Dress up the pullover sweater with a fabulous wool hat with feather detailing. It’s a look that is chic and sophisticated for special occasions and equally fun for a day on the town with friends.

PULLOVERS Eileen Fisher's Asymmetrical Colorblock Poncho is a sweater that lives like a poncho, with a distinct color-blocked hemline for an oh-so-flattering look. The unique style adds that special pinache to the classic turtleneck and is a much more flattering look. The drapey poncho is knit with the perfect soft blend of wools to create a sophisticated look that doesn't skimp on comfort. A colorblocked, fine-gauge panel accentuates the pointedly asymmetrical hem. It's a look for every woman's wardrobe.

CASHMERE BLEND A luxurious cashmere blend transitions a long-sleeve sweater from basic to chic. A basic crew neckline and pullover style with long raglan sleeves fits well and is a great look for a day at the office. Pair it with a stylish scarf for evenings.

CARDIGANS The possibilities are endless when it comes to transitioning cardigan sweaters from day-tonight. Mix up your sweater collection by finding pieces that change up your wardrobe with oversized structure and fringe detail. Oversized sweaters and embellishments such as tassels are the latest trend. INC's Aztec-Knit Fringe sweater shows off your fashionable free spirit in a comfortable style that is simply adorable. Find all of INC's latest sweater trends at Macy's.

WINTER WHITE Eileen Fisher Asymmetrical Colorblock Poncho, layers perfectly under a winter white shawl or wool coat.

It is a sweater that moves with you. The distinct contrast of the color-blocked hemline flatters the classic neckline, transitioning the sweater into a wardrobe staple. The look is flattering for any body shape. The drapey poncho is knit with a perfectly soft blend of wool that feels as great as it looks.
