Power shoes : Choosing the right footwear for climbing the corporate ladder Climbing the corporate ladder shoes at the office means wearing

requires marketable skills, initiative, creativity and ... the right shoes? While the importance of proper footwear may seem obvious for professions that require standing or walking all day, such as waitressing, nursing or cooking, poor shoe choices can also trip you up in an office setting. “At best, sore feet can be a troublesome distraction when you need to concentrate in a meeting or be at your best during a job interview,” says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatrist and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). “At worst, severe foot injuries from poor footwear can require corrective surgery that puts you out of commission - and out of the office - for extended periods of time.” While you may assume that some professions are more prone to injury than others, or that women wearing high heels are more at risk, everyone working nine to five should take steps to ensure they head to work every morning wearing shoes that will help - not hinder - how well they do their jobs. The APMA offers some advice for choosing work shoes: Shoes for women For many women, wearing dress

1ST–12TH GRADES

high heels five days a week. When you’re choosing a dress shoe for work, whether it’s a high heel or flat, keep these tips in mind: * Avoid wearing heels higher than two inches. If you choose to wear very high heels for a meeting or other work occasion, limit the time you’re in them and change into a lower, more comfortable pair as soon as possible. * Vary heel height day-to-day. Look for “walking” pumps - also called “comfort” or “performance” pumps with mid- to lower-heels. The APMA offers a list of shoes that have earned its Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health. * Look for plenty of toe room. Ideally, pumps with wider, rounded or square toe boxes give your toes more room. Avoid shoes with pointy toes that squeeze digits into unnatural positions. Cramped toes can cause a host of foot woes, from bunions to ingrown toenails. * Choose wider heels that offer more stability. Stiletto heels and similar pointy heels are less stable and may cause spinal misalignment and ankle injuries. * Beware ballet flats. You may think no-heel shoes are better for your feet, but often that’s not the case.

MATH HELP

Ballet flats offer little cushioning or support, and can also cause foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tendon that connects the heel bone to the toes. * Regardless of heel height or shoe style, look for shoes that offer adequate arch and ankle support, and plenty of cushioning. Shoes for men * Look for good quality oxford styles - like wing-tip or cap-toe designs which tend to be best. You can also opt for slip-ons, dressy loafers and low dress boots. * Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day. You should have at least three or four pairs of good quality professional shoes. * When shoes become too worn to be supportive anymore, replace them.

ADVANCED MATH

You may be tempted to hold on to that old pair of shoes you love, but apart from looking unprofessional, worn out shoes also provide less support for your feet. Both men and women should keep a few common tips in mind when shoe shopping: * Always shop at the end of the day when feet are at their largest. * Choose quality materials that allow the foot to breathe. * Look for shoes that offer good support. * Never buy a pair of shoes that are uncomfortable, assuming you’ll “break them in.” Shoes should be comfortable right away. If they’re not, then they’re not the right shoes for your feet!

Move over carrots: other key nutrients for healthy vision Popeye trumps Bugs Bunny - at least for your eyes. An overwhelming majority of Americans - 89 percent identify carrots as the best food to eat to ensure healthy eyes but far fewer, 32 percent, know that spinach can help support their vision too, according to a survey by Kelton/DSM Nutritional Products. Move over carrots and betacarotene, there are other foods and nutrients that appeal to eye health. Dr. Michael Roizen, author and cofounder of RealAge.com, provides a brief tutorial on the best nutrients for eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin - The same survey found that less than half of Americans (41 percent) are familiar with lutein and only 6 percent of Americans are familiar with the nutrient zeaxanthin. Of the 600 known carotenoids, these are the only two that are found in the retina of the eye. Eat dark leafy greens (like spinach) and eggs and you’re on your way to incorporating lutein and zeaxanthin into your daily diet. While there is no established recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for lutein and zeaxanthin, the American Optometric Association recommends 10 mg per day of lutein and 2 mg per day of zeaxanthin. The recently published AREDS 2

(Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2) was launched to determine whether a combination of key nutrients including vitamins C and E, lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene and omega-3s - can further reduce the risk of progression from the common dry macular degeneration to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Secondary analysis showed that the group receiving lutein and zeaxanthin versus those not taking lutein and zeaxanthin, had a 9 percent risk reduction for progression to advanced AMD. DHA and EPA omega-3s - DHA omega-3, found in fatty fish, fish oil and algae (the fish get it from algae&mdash;they don’t make it themselves), is a major structural fat in the retina of your eye (and in your brain). It plays an important role in infant visual development, in visual function throughout life, and in eyesight and memory support with aging. The LUTEGA study, published in JAMA Ophthalmology showed that supplementation of lutein, zeaxanthin, DHA and EPA omega3s result in increased concentrations of these nutrients in plasma and a significant improvement in the optical density of the macular pigment in 172 individuals with “dry” AMD.

Vitamin E - This essential vitamin, found in oils, wheat germ and peanuts, is an antioxidant that supports eye health. It may be difficult to get the recommended daily amount of vitamin E through diet alone - 15 mg/day for anyone older than 14. For example, to get 15 mg of vitamin E, you would need to eat one cup of peanuts that comes with about 827 calories. You can also get this vitamin in foods such as spinach, salmon and walnuts. But, if you’re not eating foods rich in these nutrients on a daily basis, consider adding supplements

specifically formulated for eye health. Some of these supplements include Ocuvite, i-Caps and Centrum Specialist Vision. Check with your physician before starting any supplement program. Roizen’s quick tips on how you can help support the health of your eyes include: 1. Avoid smoke, including secondhand smoke; 2. Wear UV protective sunglasses; 3. Take in 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin every day; 4. Get 900 mg of DHA omega-3 a day.

How to Keep Your Jewelry Sparkly By Sarah E. Johnson Jewelry, whether real gold and silver or faux, should be carefully maintained in order to get the most out of it. Rings adorn most girls’ fingers and ears on a daily basis, and if we’re not cleaning them daily, then we are failing to protect our (sometimes) valuable investment. 1. Never apply lotion, wash your hands, or wash your hair with rings on. The detergents and chemicals in these products will collect on your metals causing them to look dim, and sometimes they even cause a permanent change in color reports Olivia Palermo on her blog. 2. When cleaning jewelry, never use products containing alcohols, ammonia, and vinegar cautions MichellesVintageJewelry.com. These products will change the color of your metal just like the detergents mentioned above will. 3. HowToCleanStuff.net says that a great way to keep your jewelry always looking its best, is to wipe it down with a non-lint-producing cloth after taking it off. If you do a quick dry polish every time you wash your hands, Page 4

your pieces will always be shiny and in optimal viewing condition. 4. Treat all jewelry with care, and make sure to check all fastenings before cleaning them to prevent losing stones and gems suggests BlitzInc.com. 5. Some useful tools for cleaning delicate pieces include: -Baby toothbrushes (the bristles are soft and you don’t have to worry about them marking your metals or stones. -Wooden toothpicks (for crevices) -Cotton swabs (for delicate application of cleaner and water. -Towels (never let water dry on your jewelry) 6. If you’re uncertain or insecure about cleaning your favorite pieces, lushaejewelry.com suggests, taking them to a professional. Your jewelry can be cleaned while you shop at the mall in most locales. Wearing clean, shiny jewelry isn’t just hygienic; it’s good fashion also good fashion sense. There’s really no excuse for wearing dingy pieces because jewelry is so easy to clean.

Nutritional tips for packing brain-boosting school lunches Parents know kids can’t concentrate when they’re hungry. But did you know that what children eat - especially in school lunches - can also affect their ability to focus, learn and behave well in the classroom? Packing your children’s school lunches is a great way to manage their nutritional intake and help feed their ability to learn. It will take some creativity, however, to ensure you pack lunches that not only meet a child’s nutritional needs, but also his or her taste preferences. Keep these tips in mind as you’re packing your child’s nutritious lunches this school year: * Brain-building foods: Research supports the ability of certain foods to enhance cognitive function. Foods like fish and nuts, which contain brainbuilding omega-3 fatty acids, can support focus. So tuna fish salad not only supplies protein, but is also brain food. Not every child is a fan of fish, so look for other kid-friendly options like a handful of nuts. From pistachios and almonds to walnuts and peanuts, a serving of nuts not only contains healthful fats, but also a healthy dose of fiber and vitamin E. * Fill-them-up foods: “Empty calories” are empty for several reasons, including how quickly they can leave children feeling hungry again after they’ve dined on nutritionally poor calories. Foods that are high in protein and fiber, such as a sandwich of deli meats on whole grain bread, can help kids feel full longer and provide them with nutrient-rich calories. * Liquid power: Sugary sodas are notorious sources of empty calories. One can of regular soda, sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, packs about 150 calories,

adding up to the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of table sugar, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Consider packing lunches with more nutritionally valuable beverages like skim milk or water. Skim milk is low in calories and contains calcium and potassium. Water, of course, contains no calories at all and is the best source of hydration. * The choice is yours: Making sure kids get the nutrition they need while providing the great taste they love can be a challenge. A classic sandwich can achieve both if you choose ingredients wisely. Hormel(R) Natural Choice(R) pre-packaged deli meats provide kids with familiar favorites, such as Honey Deli Ham, Oven Roasted Deli Turkey, Roast Beef and Rotisserie Style Chicken Breast, that are 100 percent natural and free of preservatives and additives. Low in fat and free of trans fats, Hormel Natural Choice meats have no MSG, gluten or artificial ingredients. When paired with other nutritious options like whole grain breads, and a side of fresh fruit with non-fat yogurt as a dip,

a sandwich of Hormel Natural Choice deli meats can be the foundation of a nutritious lunch. You’ll be amazed how simple making a better choice can be. * Kid-friendly presentation: How you present lunch can encourage kids to eat it. When it comes to packed lunches, a great presentation could be as simple as having one or two favorite lunchboxes on hand and allowing your child to choose which one he would like to carry today. Or, it could be as inspired as creatively arranging a sandwich and sliced veggies to mimic a smiling face when he opens his lunchbox at school. Remember, kids love color, so providing a colorful mix of foods can be very appealing to them. It also gives you the opportunity to incorporate the concept of a rainbow of nutrition, and the value of eating foods from all colors in the spectrum. With the right recipe of creativity, fun and nutritious foods, parents can be confident they’re packing school lunches that will keep kids full and happy throughout the school year.

Menswear trends you need to master for next season Shearling with everything It’s a classic menswear material, and with a definite Seventies vibe running throughout the shows, it was hardly surprising that shearling made a prominent appearance on next season’s catwalks. However, what was surprising was how it was deployed: not just as a coat lining (the most popular way to wear it), but also within trainers at Hermes, on bags at Louis Vuitton, on jumpers at Fendi, and in both dyed and natural shades on almost every catwalk. Layer-up your knits Layering is, of course, the top priority when the weather turns however next season it looks like the big styling tip to help you keep warm will be to pile your jumpers one-on-top of the other. The easiest way to do this, as seen at Pringle and Margaret Howell, is to invest in a thin merino wool rollneck and slip it under your thicker knits. Go for square patterns and patches From flowers to butterflies to tapestry, there were so many patterns across the catwalks this season that it wasn’t until Paris that a true frontrunner for the season emerged - however when we looked back, we noticed squares were everywhere, whether used in big, bold blocks of colour or as patches on jeans. The only coat you’ll need next season

Wherever you looked this season shapes were loosening up, but nowhere was this more clearly seen than with outerwear. Whether singleor double-breasted, the most popular coat of the season was cut from wool and with a soft shoulder that fell just off the shoulder to give a slouchy, oversized vibe. Any colour as long as it’s grey By far and away the most popular colour at the shows was grey. Not too unusual for the cold weather collections you might think, but this season it’s the way it was styled from tailoring to tracksuit bottoms that boosted it into trend territory: with as many other shades of grey as possible (or all the same hue, if you’re feeling particularly bold). There was so much grey, in fact, that this is just a small sliver of the best looks. Pockets are getting supersized Good news for guys who hate toting a bag around with them everywhere: pockets are going to be bigger than ever next season (i.e iPad Mini sized at a minimum). Not only that, but they’re going to be the focus of your next piece of outerwear, cut from conspicuously contrasting fabrics and sewn on in prominent positions. Any green goes While grey was the big story of the shows, green beat off stiff competition from orange, pink and blue to be the second-most popular

colour on the catwalks. However, no particular shade rose to prominence, with forest, dark, military and even mint green all making appearances in London, Milan and Paris. Next season the only rule is: there are no rules. Baggy trousers After seasons of trousers getting slimmer, this was the season

designers swung to the polar opposite. Across the board, trousers were higher waisted and far looser cut - and while flares made the occasional appearance thanks to that Seventies sensibility that we already mentioned, the most popular style was more along the lines of the Zoot suits of the Forties and often cut from wool with a turn-up.

Sm art F i t n es s & E x er c i s e T i p s to He lp You S t ic k w i t h Y o u r N ew Y ea r ’ s Re s olu ti on By Ellie Perico It is well known that some of the most common New Years resolutions are to eat healthier, lose weight, get in shape, etc. So, as my first blog in several weeks (due to a WAY too busy holiday season) I figured I would interview some of my closest friends and co-workers and ask them what the smartest diet and exercise tips they had to offer. These tips come from people that have fought the weight loss battle and won so take them and apply them to your daily life. They just may help you stick with that New Year’s resolution after all... or at least stick with it longer than you expected! Since I got so many responses, there will be a part 2 & a part 3 to this post! 1. Save money and buy in bulk BUT separate out portion sizes into small, snack size sandwich bags. This not only saves money, it is also helping you eat healthier by minimizing how much you eat. If you eat out of the large containers, you will liable to eat much more than just one or even two servings. The snacks that often come in those 100 calorie packs also tend to be not so healthy choices. Instead of eating 100 calories of mini Oreos,

crackers, etc, separate out bags of almonds, dried fruit, whole wheat crackers, etc. 2. If you are not feeling like working out, try and remind yourself of the feeling you get when you are done. More often than not, you feel 100 times better and more refreshed than if you had opted to forgo your workout. 3. Retrain your appetite. Instead of eating when you are bored and when you are not really hungry, wait about 10 minutes before you decide to dive into a meal. It is common for people to eat just because it is lunch time or eat out of boredom. Go for a walk, make phone calls, answer emails and, if you are still hungry, then eat. 4. Try to plan your meals at least a day or two in advance, if not a week in advance. It sounds difficult but it’s really not. Make several chicken breasts on Sunday night and separate them out. Then make some whole grain rice and maybe grill some veggies. Many foods will keep in your refrigerator for at least a week and you can eat these foods as a lunch or dinner. Make a chicken sandwich on Monday, Chicken Parmesan for dinner Tuesday, fajitas on Wednesday, etc.

It’ll help you avoid poor food choices when you don’t have anything ready to eat at hand. 5. If you are on a diet, focused on your New Years resolution or recently started a strict exercise regimen and you slip, do not give up!! Move on and work twice as hard the next day to make up for it. We all slip sometimes.. 6. If you joined a gym, signed up for classes or got yourself a personal trainer recently, try and pay for the memberships or fees up front and in advance. Knowing that you have already forked over all of that cash will give you the incentive to keep going and not miss. 7. Put a mirror on your fridge! When you are about to reach in there for some impulsive eating (boy am I all too familiar with that!), look yourself in the eye and make sure you are really hungry and really want to do that. Believe it or not, it is helpful and helps you confront what’s really driving you to food. 8. Say no to the little things. Avoid eating out of the candy jar at work, grabbing an extra serving at lunch, eating that sample at the grocery store, etc. Little bites like these can add anywhere from 75 - 150 extra

calories a day to your diet. In about a month, that adds up to just over a pound gained (or lost if you avoid them!) 9. Bet on it. A lot of people at work and at places of employment of friends of mine have started a Biggest Loser contest in the new year. They put $50 each into a pot on the first day. Then they diet and exercise for the next 30 - 90 days. At the end, the winner gets all of the money. If even just 10 people join, that’s $500 you win! 10. Eat slow. Eating slow can help you feel full much faster, helping you eat less at each meal. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the point where your body will tell you your full so give yourself time to get there before it is too late and you stuff yourself silly!

Simple ways baby boomers can boost heart health It’s rare to find a person who hasn’t been affected by heart disease in some way. As the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease - and how to avoid it - should be top of mind, especially for baby boomers. Beyond scary statistics, heart health is about being able to live life to the fullest for as long as possible. -”Heart health is directly related to well-being,” says registered dietician Brooke Joanna Benlifer. “A strong and healthy heart allows one to be more physically active. Heart health can be directly influenced by healthy food choices and an active lifestyle, in addition to emotional well-being.” To help boomers give a big boost to their heart health, Benlifer offers some important expert tips: 1. Understand and eat good fats “Unsaturated fats are the good fats,” says Benlifer. “They are found in nuts, avocado, olive oil, flax seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds as well as in fatty fish and fish oils.” While incorporating good fats into your diet, Benlifer also says it’s important to avoid bad fats. “Saturated fats are less healthy and are found in full-fat dairy products and lard, as well as in fatty cuts of beef. The worst kinds of fats are the trans fats, aka partially hydrogenated oils. These tend to be found in packaged and processed food items, allowing them to be shelf stable,” she says. 2. Eat heart healthy foods The food you eat affects the health of your heart as well as your whole body. Eating nutritious foods

helps you look and feel your best. Top heart healthy foods include: * Fresh fruits and vegetables * Whole grains/high fiber foods such as peas, beans and oatmeal * Low-fat dairy products or calcium-rich foods * Lean proteins, especially plant-based proteins like pumpkin seeds, quinoa, soy and legumes * Healthy fats 3. Cook the heart healthy way There are three simple strategies to use to help you cook - and therefore eat - the heart healthy way. “First, use olive oil, canola oil or coconut oil a healthier saturated fat - when cooking,” says Benlifer. “Next, try to steam and bake foods rather than deep frying. Finally, use fresh foods whenever possible and cook at home!” 4. Adopt a heart healthy supplement routine It can be difficult to get all the nutrients your body needs simply through food, so supplements can be a good option for boomers and busy adults. Numerous studies have proven heart healthy benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s include DHA and EPA, both healthy fats found in fish oil supplements. “DHA helps keep arteries clear and reduces inflammation,” Benlifer says. “EPA keeps plaque from rupturing. I use Nordic Naturals fish oil supplements for myself and my family, and have been doing so for years. I trust their quality and their commitment to education and research.” 5. Learn to love exercise Exercise is crucial for both physical and mental

benefits, including stress reduction. Remember, the heart is a muscle; aerobic exercise is great for strengthening the heart. “I recommend, if cleared by one’s doctor, that someone incorporate 30 to 60 minutes of exercise daily into his or her life,” says Benlifer. “A combination of cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise, strength training and flexibility training, or more restorative movement (yoga, tai chi, etc.) is important.” Finally, in order for boomers to stay healthy and keep their heart strong, Benlifer recommends prioritizing sleep. “Sleep helps the body restore itself and is also highly correlated with a healthy weight. The less sleep one gets, the more likely he or she is to be overweight and stressed,” she says.

Winning ideas for beating winter blues Nearly 150 days separate the last day of the winter holidays from the first unofficial day of summer - Memorial Day. After holiday decorations get packed away, and winter sets in, it’s not uncommon to experience a touch - or more - of winter boredom. Some people may find themselves in a rut during those long 150 days. Fortunately, a number of tactics can help perk up your spirits. Here is a handful to consider as you enter 2014: Escape the routine Traveling during winter has many benefits. In many areas of the country, winter months are slower business times for hotels and resorts, and you may find great deals. What’s more, breaking up the routine and going somewhere new and exciting - or relaxing - may help alleviate winter blues. Immersing yourself in relaxation and pampering could be just what you need to release winter tensions. Places like The American Club resort in the quaint Village of Kohler, Wis., offers luxurious accommodations and the opportunity to step outside the winter routine. The newly renovated Carriage House sits above the fivestar Kohler Waters Spa. Owned by Page 14

Kohler Co., the leading manufacturer of bathing products, it’s no surprise the spa is renowned for its cuttingedge bathing and hydrotherapy services. Such destinations offer you the opportunity to immerse yourself in luxury and do absolutely nothing, or get your blood pumping with all the exciting attractions, activities and culinary experiences at the resort and surrounding area. Refresh your environment Travel isn’t always possible, but you can still experience a change in perspective when you make changes in your home environment. Kitchen and bathroom renovations are top choices and winter is a great time to tackle those projects. If you have the budget, by all means - go big. But if your budget is more modest, don’t despair; even small changes like new shower heads, faucets and accessories can give a room a spirit-lifting new look and feel. Doubt the power of a shower head to transform a bath? Consider the KOHLER Moxie Showerhead + Wireless Speaker. Its wireless speaker pairs with devices enabled with Bluetooth technology, offering a delightful and energizing showering

The Ladera Ranch News

experience. Available in four new colors (Chartreuse, Retro Blue, Navy Blue or Cherry Red), this showerhead will not only provide new decor but also an upgraded showering experience. Make your own holidays Who says you have to limit spiritlifting celebrations to specific days of the year? If gathering with family and friends around the dinner table makes you happy, why not choose one day a month and have everyone over? Decorate for a theme that you enjoy - such as the beach or even the Fourth of July in January.

Celebrate each family member with a special outing. Perhaps in January, your first-grader will choose a trip to the local indoor playground. In February, your husband might opt for a family bowling night. Allowing each member of the family to choose a destination gets everyone involved and excited. Plus, unusual family outings are a great way to brighten winter days. The days between New Year’s and spring don’t have to drag. Just step outside the routine - whether through travel or innovation at home - to help beat the winter blues.

FAMILY FEATURES

all is a busy time for families on the go, but dinner can still be approachable and wholesome. One easy solution: transform a simple everyday side dish into a meal that will have your family asking for more. These recipes, created in partnership with lifestyle expert Sandra Lee, feature Bob Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection of high-quality, like-scratch side dishes ranging from mashed potatoes to macaroni and cheese. The sides, found in the refrigerated section of most local grocery stores, are made with real ingredients and the perfect blend of seasonings to make entrees taste just right. Find more mealtime solutions that put side dishes at the forefront at Farm Fresh Ideas (bobevans.com/recipes), a club that provides recipes, a personalized recipe box and helpful tips in the kitchen.

Macwich

Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Servings: 4 8 slices garlic bread, frozen 1 package Bob Evans Macaroni and Cheese 4 slices cheddar cheese 16 dill pickle chips (optional) 1 can tomato soup, prepared (optional for dipping) In large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, heat 8 bread slices for 3 minutes and flip over to evenly warm through. Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package directions. Place 1/2 slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of garlic bread. On 4 pieces of garlic bread, evenly spoon 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) of macaroni and cheese on top of cheddar cheese/ garlic bread slices. Place remaining 4 slices of garlic bread on top of macaroni and cheese stack. Toast both sides for an additional 2 minutes or until bread is toasty brown and cheese is melted. Serve with dill pickle chips and tomato soup for dipping.

Orzo with Italian Sausage, Mushrooms and Spinach

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Serves: 4 4 tablespoons butter, divided 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta 1 can (14.5 ounces) low sodium chicken broth 1 pound hot or Italian sausage 1/2 cup diced onion 1 cup sliced mushrooms 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic 10 ounces baby spinach 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese salt and pepper, to taste In a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and add orzo. Stir until lightly browned. Add chicken broth and bring to boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes, until orzo is tender and liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, in large skillet over medium heat, add sausage and crumble with potato masher until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Add onion and mushrooms, and continue to cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds or until garlic becomes fragrant. Turn heat down to low. Add spinach and cover pan to allow spinach to wilt. Set aside until orzo is done. When orzo is done, add sausage mixture and Parmesan cheese and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Mixed Berry Cobbler

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 1 hour, 30 minutes Serves: 6-8 1 package Bob Evans Glazed Apples 1 cup frozen sweet cherries 1 cup blackberries or raspberries 1 cup pear, diced Heat oven to 375 F. In large mixing bowl, mix together glazed apples and fruits. Pour into 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. While fruit is baking, mix together ingredients for streusel.

Streusel Topping 1 1 2/3 1 8

cup packed light brown sugar cup uncooked rolled oats cup all-purpose flour teaspoon cinnamon tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Mix together brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon until evenly combined. With fingertips, blend in butter pieces until small clumps form and butter is well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit and place back in oven uncovered. Bake until streusel is lightly browned and fruit is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let set 5 minutes before serving.

Time Saving Tips These simple tricks from Sandra Lee will cut minutes off your busywork, so you can get to the more important things like enjoying fall with your family. 1. Shave minutes off meals using tools in original ways: An ice cream scoop makes cookies and meatballs in a flash; an egg slicer quickly cuts mushrooms and berries. 2. To further speed up slow cooker prep time, keep favorite premixed seasoning packets, presliced vegetables and jarred sauces on hand. 3. Desserts need not be made from scratch to have a homespun feel. Dip packaged cookies in chocolate, embellish bakery cupcakes or create lollipops from candies.

Baked Potato Pizza

Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Serves: 12 1 package Bob Evans Sour Cream & Chive Mashed Potatoes 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled 2 premade large pizza crusts 1 cup cheddar cheese Heat oven to 450 F. In bowl, mix together mashed potatoes and bacon crumbles. Place each pizza crust on cookie sheet. Spread half of mashed potato mixture evenly over each pizza. Top each pizza with cheddar cheese. Bake 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly golden. Cut into wedges and serve.

New year, new coat of paint: Success tips for DIY painting projects Painting projects are more popular than ever with do-it-yourselfers with 94 percent planning a painting project in 2016, according to a SherwinWilliams survey of homeowners. DIYers are also planning their painting projects earlier in the year, with January, February and March marked as popular months to upgrade homes with color. If you plan to paint this year, here are some tips to help prepare you for success. Choose colors with confidence A fresh coat of paint in the right color can quickly transform the look and feel of any space. To help choose the perfect color for your space, take advantage of the easy-to-use color selection tools available to help you find and try colors before you paint. Homeowners can use the online Color Visualizer, for example, to virtually paint a space and try on different color combinations, making it easy to choose colors with confidence. Find color inspiration Choosing the perfect paint color is key to creating the look you want, but how do most people find the right color? More than half of DIYers (56 percent) say they look to nature for color inspiration, while more than a third (36 percent) take their color cues from Pinterest images.

For added color inspiration, consider the color Coral Reef, described by the survey respondents as “cheerful,” “upbeat” and “energizing.” “A mix of pink, orange and red, Coral Reef embodies the approach to design that we’re seeing for the coming year,” says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Its unexpected versatility brings life to a range of design aesthetics, whether traditional, vintage, cottage or contemporary. For a more relaxed look, it can also be paired with earthy neutral colors such as slate grays, medium-brown wood tones such as driftwood, and metallic finishes to complement its garden hue.” Select the right finish Once you’ve decided on the perfect color, make sure you’re getting the best finish for the space you are painting. For durability and washability, choose a semi-gloss paint. Semi-gloss is a good option for areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, as well as trim. For hightraffic areas, like a hallway or a kid’s bedroom, satin and egg-shell paints are preferred as the finish is easy to clean and maintain. High gloss paints are also extremely durable and easy to clean, making them perfect for windows, doors and trim. For spaces

that have something to hide, a flat finish will work to your advantage. Paint your space in the correct order When planning your painting project, also consider the order in which you paint your space. Start with the ceiling, followed by the walls. If two coats of paint are needed, finish

both coats before moving to the next step. Then, paint the windows from top to bottom. After the windows, paint the baseboards, trim and doorframe. Finally, paint the door. Following this order will help ensure a smoother painting process and will require fewer cleanups.
