The holidays are upon us, and winter isn’t far behind! I’d like to encourage you to shop “small” this year. Patronizing locally-owned businesses for your holiday shopping can have tremendous impact. A study by The Institute of Local Self-Reliance revealed that for every $100 spent at local independent businesses, $45 in secondary local spending was generated versus just $14 for a big box chain. Please shop local this year and help keep your dollars out of distant pockets that have little or no impact on our quality of life in the North Metro. On behalf of the staff at Spotlight® Magazine, I want to thank you for being a loyal reader and wish you a very happy, healthy holiday, and a prosperous 2016. Please patronize our advertisers. They make Spotlight® Magazine possible.

26 January – 21 February Mrs. Mannerly: Inspired by hilarious memories of a 1967 childhood etiquette class, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher conjures up the world of a tenyear-old studying manners. Young Jeffrey is a misfit little boy who wants nothing more than to be good at something, and he finds his unlikely niche at etiquette school. Mrs. Mannerly is a demanding teacher with a dedication to Emily Post, and no student in her thirty-six years of etiquette classes has achieved a perfect score. When he discovers her mysterious past, Young Jeffrey leverages what he knows so he can be the first to attain the highest score. The plot mimics stories by humorists like David Sedaris and is a delicious, comic tale about comingof-age in a simpler time. Please note that this production contains some mature language. Showtimes vary at Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Visit www.arvadacenter.org for more info and to purchase tickets.

SNOW
TUBING SLEDDING AROUND COLORADO By Tabatha Deans
a Coloradan spies a snow-covered hill, regardless of how big or small, you can bet they will find a way to make a sport out of sliding down it. Whether it’s building up snow jumps in Grandma’s back yard or taking the runner sled for a jaunt down the driveway, slip sliding in the snow is a timeless tradition. The mountains surrounding the Denver area are home to several award-winning ski resorts, and in recent years snowboarding has become nearly as popular. Travelers come from all around the world to experience winter activities in Denver, and locals look forward to the colder months all year long. Not everyone is up for the challenge of speeding down a mountain on two thin skis. Many prefer the safety of having a solid sled or the cushioned comfort of an oversized snow tube supporting their body as they careen over the snow-covered hills. For those who favor the tradition of “tubing,” the Front Range is home to several snowtubing/sledding facilities that are fun and safe enough for all ages. “My parents were visiting and we went to a hill that they loved sliding down. And they were in their 70’s,” said Littleton resident Robert Stewart.
24
Spotlight® Magazine | Holiday 2015
Cherry Creek State Park, just minutes from downtown,
located at 4201 South Parker Road, offers miles of gentle rolling hills and trails that are perfect for a day of sledding and sliding after a good snowstorm. The hills aren’t big but are perfect for the young, the not so young, or the timid. And the miles of trails provide the perfect setting for pulling the little ones on the sled, as well as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. www.cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/ parks/CherryCreek/Pages/Activities.aspx
Copper Mountain Tubing, about one hour outside of Denver, is worth
the drive for a day of family fun. The four designated tubing lanes are open for those over 36 inches tall, and provide a thrilling ride over bumps and around curves, with a “Stinger” service lift to transport you back to the top for the next run. Critterland is a mini tubing area designed for those under 36 inches tall, and is open for children and adults to enjoy a more mellow tubing experience. www.coppercolorado.com/winter/plan_and_buy/tubing
Snow Mountain Ranch in Winter Park is run by the YMCA of the Rockies, and is located in Granby, about 1.5 hours from downtown Denver. Rope-tow access makes getting to the top of the hill easy, and racing down the hill offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountainous scenery. You can bring your own tube or rent one there. There is also ice skating, an Olympic sized swimming pool and an indoor climbing wall. www.snowmountainranch.org/ activities/sledding-and-tubing/
Frisco Adventure Park, also about one hour from Denver, offers the unique experience of nighttime tubing. Runs are well-lit for tubing well into the evening, and with tubing lanes running as long as 1,200 feet, and lift service to the top of the lane, Frisco Adventure Park is a must-have experience for the truly adventurous. www.townoffrisco.com/play/wintertubing-skiing/tubing/ Scott Carpenter Park in Boulder, built in memory of astronaut and Boulder native Scott Carpenter, is rich with local history and boasts one of the best tubing hills around. Located in Boulder, about one hour from Denver, the park was initially the site of the city’s dump and sewage treatment facility. In 1955 the dump was removed and the space was deemed a public park. The dump site was smoothed over to create the spectacular tubing hill that is a local favorite for all ages. There are no tow-lines or lifts, thus tubers must suffer the old-fashioned tradition of trekking to the top of the hill before whisking back down again. www. bouldercolorado.gov/parks-rec/history-ofscott-carpenter-park-and-pool

Slow Cooked
SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
By Katie Farrell
This recipe has all of the sweetness of a traditional sweet potato casserole recipe, but it is made with the ease of a slow cooker! The holidays are a time of family friends, and let’s face it... a full oven! Make this side dish in your slow cooker on this special holiday (or any night of the week), and enjoy a healthy and delicious vitamin-rich dish without the hassle!
INGREDIENTS • • • •
4 medium Sweet potatoes, peeled (or about 4 cups mashed) 1 medium Ripe banana 2 1/2 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) [1] 2 tbs Honey or low sugar maple syrup
• • • • •
1 Large egg 4 Egg whites 1 tsp Salt 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 1-2 tbs Sweetener of choice (or 1-3 pkts stevia) Optional
• • •
1/4 tsp Cinnamon 1/4 tsp Salt 1 tbs Sweetener (or 1-2 pkts stevia)
TOPPING: • •
3/4 cup Chopped pecans 1/4 cup Sugar free or low sugar maple syrup (or honey)
[1] If baking this casserole, rather than putting it in a crockpot, only use 1 1/2 cup milk.
DIRECTIONS
(The estimated total time to make this recipe is 4-8 Hours) 1. Peel potatoes, and cut into large wedges (i did 3 wedges per potato), place potatoes in large microwave safe bowl covered with saran wrap, pierced a few times to let out steam. Put bowl in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Remove saran wrap and let cool (do this carefully so you don’t burn yourself on the steam!) 2. Note: You could also boil the potatoes in a pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes or until they are fork tender. 3. Meanwhile, place the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and mix until everything is well combined. When the potatoes are cooled, place the potatoes in the blender with the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth. (Or you could pulse it and leave some of the potatoes a bit chunky if you prefer your casserole to have more texture rather than a smooth filling.)

Katie has a passion for teaching people how to make nutritious food choices and prepare healthy meals without giving up any of their favorite foods!
4. Spray your crockpot with cooking spray. Pour sweet potato mixture into crockpot. Meanwhile,to make the topping, combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine. Sprinkle topping over sweet potatoes and cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-8 hours. Visit: www.dashingdish.com/recipe/slow-cooked-sweet-potato-casserole for nutrition information.

Choosing the Perfect
HOLIDAY By Cynthia Ellis
32
Spotlight速 Magazine | Holiday 2015
For many people, the holidays are all about family, friends, and great food and wine. But picking a great wine to serve with your holiday meals can be challenging. Generally pairing a white sweeter wine with turkey or spicy food and a red wine with Prime Rib or steak is recommended, but personal tastes are also important. Several local wine experts have offered some suggestions on what wines to pair with your favorite dishes...
J
ennifer Hulan and her husband recently opened the Waters Edge Winery, located appropriately on Vine Street in Centennial near the Streets of Southglenn mall. “Our rule of thumb is there is no right or wrong, but do make sure whatever wine you choose doesn’t overpower the food you are serving,” she explained. For a white wine paired a holiday meal such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, she recommends their Snowmass – Sauvignon Blanc “One of my personal favorites. It’s light and refreshing and the perfect pairing for the wonderful savory flavors that come with the meal.” Brothers Danny and Jeff Chayer own Silver Vines Winery located in Olde Town in Arvada. Danny’s advice is to serve what you like but don’t be afraid to try something new. “Wine tastings or joining our wine club is a great way to learn about and try new wines.” For a turkey dinner, Danny recommends a sweet wine like their 2012 Reisling, but you can also serve a red wine like their 2012 Grandview Reserve. “It’s really light, bold and has a very smooth vanilla flavor.” And Ken Parry with Highlands Wine Seller on Timberline Road in Highlands Ranch has written several books on how to pair wines with foods. “We’ve had people bring in their menus and we help them select the wine,” he said. “There’s a wine for everybody.” His favorite white wine at Thanksgiving for years has been Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio. “It’s a really nice grape fruit that goes very well with white meat.” But he also likes Pacific Rim and Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Reisling wines. Pinot Noir is also a popular red wine to serve with turkey and Ken says some of the best right now come from Oregon. “The Willamette

Valley has the best weather conditions and soil to grow the Pinot Noir grape, which is a difficult grape to grow.” If you’re serving prime rib or other beef dishes, Jennifer Hulan says something with a peppercorn or smoky flavor goes very well. “We have a Barrosa Valley Shiraz that we recommend with a heavy meat flavor.” Danny Chayer recommends their California Syrah with but also really likes their Cab Franc from Colorado’s Palisade vineyards. “They’re phenomenal with prime rib as it really brings out the flavor in the wine.” Ken Parry recommends pairing beef or prime rib with a Merlot, or a blend like Clayhouse Adobe Red or a Petite Sirah. If you’re looking for a dessert wine to serve at a party or after your holiday meal, the sweeter Riesling wines will work well with cheesecake or even pumpkin pie. Jennifer recommends their Canadian Eiswein (ice wine) that can be paired with strawberries, Gorgonzola or a tart cheesecake. They also have a Mexican Coffee Port, which works with anything chocolate or a nutty dessert. Danny recommends their Chocolate Delight-a chocolate and red wine that goes very well with cheesecake and light cheeses. All three wine experts recommend “try before you buy” and look for wine tastings or consider joining a wine club to expand your wine palate. “Wine tastings are the best way to try new wines. We often get stuck in a rut and the cost of wine often prohibits us from trying something new. No one wants to buy a $20 bottle of wine and have it taste awful,” said Jennifer Hulan.
If you’re serving prime rib or other beef dishes, Jennifer Hulan says something with a peppercorn or smoky flavor goes very well.

FESTIVE, FLAVORFUL GIFTS By Family Features
F
ood is a gift from the heart. It’s one-size-fits-all, and you don’t need to fight the crowds at the mall or worry about blowing your budget. Whether for holiday presents or hostess gifts, receiving something homemade is truly what the season is about: sharing comfort and good cheer. For a festive twist to your delectable goodies, look no further than your freezer. Aside from their bright, joyful color, frozen red raspberries’ sweet and tart flavors make them versatile from a culinary standpoint, complementing and enhancing a wide range of ingredients. These jubilant rubies are also nutritional powerhouses, boasting the most fiber and the lowest natural sugar content compared to other berries. These recipes are sure to warm your friends’ and family members’ hearts with the taste of the holidays. Find more recipes worth sharing this holiday season at www.redrazz.org.
