A frozen pumpkin pie from the grocery store can easily be your no-fail Thanksgiving dessert.

Five tips to avoid holiday weight gain Who doesn’t love the smell of a warm kitchen during the holidays? They’re designed around food and bringing family, old friends and new friends together. However, holidays can also be a detriment to your healthy lifestyle and cause you to lose your focus through the end of the year. -But they don’t have to. “Think of fall as the perfect time to reassess the state of your health and prep for the challenges of the holiday season,” says Alicia Rodriguez, corporate registered dietician at Life Time - The Health Way of Life Company. “When it comes to nutrition and avoiding weight gain, my motto is, keep it simple and easy.” Here are some tips to help you do the same. Bulk up your plate with protein and vegetables The side dishes at most holiday meals are often as good as the turkey or ham, but stuffing and mashed potatoes aren’t the best way to fill your plate. One way to avoid-weight gain is to build your plate with protein. This should be easy since holiday dinners revolve around meat. Second, fill your plate with side dishes that include vegetables. You may have a little spot left on your plate - use this space for your “indulgence.” When you look at your plate, the goal is that the majority is still providing you with good nutrients and reduced carbohydrates. Use the “fork” trick Many of us go back for seconds, and even third helpings at holiday meals. This year, focus on asking yourself if you’re enjoying your food. To help you answer this question, use the fork trick. Once you take a bite of food, place your fork down on the plate and let it go. Chew your food, swallow and then pick it up again. The key to this trick is letting go of the
fork. This will remind you to slow down, enjoy your food and converse with friends and family. Avoid the clean plate club Growing up, many of us were always told “You can’t leave the table until you finish everything on your plate” and inevitably, we spent many nights sitting alone at the dinner table. These days, Rodriguez advises her clients to eat until they are full and, if their plate is not clean, it’s OK. Focus on one plate of food, slow down and be careful not to overeat. Overfeeding is never really a healthy thing to do. Share your dessert with a loved one After a satisfying meal, it is hard to avoid the sweet smells of pumpkin -or warm apple pie. If you choose not to skip dessert, share a small slice with a loved one or new friend. If you are hosting, designate one family member to bring dessert to limit the endless selection of pies and reduce the urge to over indulge. Make like a turkey and trot out the door Start your holiday with a new tradition this year and gather the family to do something active. Take a walk to a local park, put together a family friendly flag football game, rake the leaves up in the yard (and jump into them) or encourage the family to sign up for a run/walk event such as the Life Time Turkey Day 5K or Commitment Day 2014. Holidays are a time to be thankful for family, friends and everything in between. Savor the moment, really take time to taste your food, get out and have some fun, and avoid the-holiday weight gain.
A Fresh New Take on Holiday Sides Take holiday side dishes – and leftovers – from mundane to marvelous with the flavorful addition of fresh grapes and blueberries. Traditional cranberry relish gets a big taste upgrade and nutrient boost with the addition of “little blue dynamos” from Chile. The luscious, antioxidant-rich, fresh super berry transforms ordinary relish into something you’ll want to enjoy all season long. Not only does it make a delicious holiday side dish, but you can add it to leftover turkey and ham sandwiches, or spoon some into pretty glass jars, tie a ribbon around the lids and give them as healthy, homemade holiday gifts. Red and green Chilean grapes, freshly chopped parsley and toasted pecans are just a few of the ingredients that make this wild rice stuffing stand out from the rest. Not just for holiday meals, this is a wonderful accompaniment to any tofu, poultry or fish dish, too.

Are you tired of serving the same old Thanksgiving desserts? Wouldn’t you love to serve something gourmet? I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that it will be time consuming and difficult to prepare gourmet Thanksgiving desserts, but you’re wrong. It’s actually quite easy to prepare Thanksgiving desserts that taste like they came from a gourmet bakery. #1: Pumpkin Cheesecake Cheesecake is a wonderful dessert on its own, but pumpkin cheesecake is out of this world. This gourmet Thanksgiving dessert is also quite easy to prepare. If you’ve made several cheesecakes in the past, this cheesecake will be even easier. Just start with a basic cheesecake batter and add pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices. There are several recipes available online. #2: Apple Tart with Cinnamon Cream An apple tart is very similar to an apple pie, but it has a more gourmet feel. Simply prepare an apple tart as normal using Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. When you’re ready to serve this gourmet Thanksgiving dessert, whip some heavy cream and sweeten it with powdered sugar and cinnamon. #3: Sweet Potato Pecan Crisp This delicious gourmet Thanksgiving dessert is something your family will remember for years to come. Just combine baked sweet potatoes with brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, eggs, and a bit of vanilla. Pour this into a baking dish and top with a mixture of brown sugar, butter, oatmeal, and crushed pecans. Bake until the top turns golden brown and the mixture is heated through. Gourmet Thanksgiving Desserts #4: Chocolate Pecan Pie with French
Vanilla Cream Pecan pie is a must at Thanksgiving, but you can easily make this into a gourmet Thanksgiving dessert simply by adding some chocolate to the mix. After the pie has baked and cooled, whip some heavy cream and the seeds from a vanilla bean. Sweeten the whipped cream with powdered sugar and add a large dollop to each serving of pie. #5: Pumpkin Pound Cake with a Homemade Caramel Sauce Pumpkin may be great for pie, but it can also be used to make several other gourmet Thanksgiving desserts. A pumpkin pound cake can be made by simply incorporating pumpkin puree and spices into a pound cake batter. You can also find several recipes online. You can also find several recipes for caramel sauce, which would be the perfect way to top off this gourmet Thanksgiving dessert. #6: Pecan and Cranberry Stuffed Apples In a saucepan over low heat, heat some apple cider. Pour the apple cider over some dried cranberries and let the mixture set until the cranberries plump up. While this is happening, combine chopped pecans with brown sugar, butter, and oatmeal. Once combined, drain the cranberries and add them to the mix. Spoon this mixture into several apples that have been cored, but the bottoms left intact. Bake until the apples are cooked and the mixture inside the apples starts to bubble.
Serve with homemade vanilla ice cream. #7: Candied Pecan Pumpkin Pie In a skillet over medium heat, combine pecan halves, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Cook this mixture until it starts to bubble and reduce. Remove the pecans to a silicone mat and allow the nuts to cool. In the meantime, bake a pumpkin pie until almost cooked through. Right before the pie is done, sprinkle the candied pecans over the pie. This is a gourmet Thanksgiving dessert that could even be made with a store bought pie. #8: Chocolate Caramel Pecan Apples In the fall, apples and pumpkins are plentiful. Why not take advantage of this and make some caramel apples? This would be the perfect gourmet Thanksgiving dessert for kids. Just dip the apples into melted caramel and then roll them in chopped pecans. Then dip the apples into melted milk chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set by placing the apples on a piece of wax paper and placing them in the refrigerator. Allow the apples to come to room temperature before attempting to cut into them.
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. ~William Blake

local dentist discusses archaic-sounding Modern Technology I just did three fillings using the Whisper-Jet (sand blaster) on a thirtyfive year old patient. He asked me why this Dr. Michael Tessier procedure was necessary, and here’s what I told him: Just like any other situation, early detection is always a good thing. The grooves in the chewing surfaces of the molars get to the point where they’re narrower than one bristle of a toothbrush. So, a patient can’t get in there to clean those grooves, but the acidic end-products of bacterial metabolism can. When we use a drill on a small cavity, we can only make the whole as small as the diameter of the drill allows. So really small cavities would require removal of much more tooth structure than necessary. Also, using the drill would require anesthetic because of the discomfort that arises from both the rotational vibration of the drill and the heat of friction that ensues as the drill cuts the tooth structure. And, drilling on any crystalline substance, like tooth enamel, can result in micro-fractures that can, in the case of tooth structure,
lead to tooth fractures in later years. So, we use a sandblaster that most often leaves a much leaves a smaller hole, doesn’t cause discomfort from the heat of friction or the rotational vibration of the drill, and doesn’t lead to fractures of tooth structure. Then we fill the hole in the tooth with a liquid plastic material which thru capillary action gets into the pores of the enamel, sealing those pores and preventing leakage. In fact, if we were still doing silver/ mercury fillings ( and we don’t even have the facility to do amalgam fillings, anymore), the sandblaster would be inadequate because we’d need a bigger hole to pack that obsolete filling material into. Definitely a case of cooperative evolution. When we have to do cavities on children’s adult molars, we use the sandblaster, thereby avoiding the need for a shot, removing less tooth structure, and reducing the possibility of fractures way in the future. When I see all the factors cataloged like that, the value of the whole procedure is a big “no duh”. Modern technology strikes again. Please call my office (949-459-7212) if you have any questions about this or any other of dentistry’s modern technologies. The office is located at Oso and Antonio Parkways, the center with the car wash and Starbucks.

Four-step PLAN Helps Shoppers Save on Black Friday Retailers call the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday,” because the holiday spending that happens that day generally moves their balance sheet into profitability and “the black.” Barbara Stark, director of community development and education at the national non-profit American Debt Counseling, Inc., serving clients throughout California, recommends following her simple, four-step P.L.A.N. during the holiday shopping season to keep your holiday budget in the black as well. “Retailers offer all kinds of deals to kick-start their all-important holiday sales numbers,” Stark explains. “The key is to have your own game plan for the day so that you take advantage of the opportunities to save on your holiday shopping without being tempted to spend more than you should.”
Stark recommends following her simple four-step P.L.A.N.: Prepare a strategy that puts your financial resources to their best use. Realistically outline your holiday obligations and how much you have to spend. Just like at the grocery store, you’ll spend more at the mall without a list. Next, decide what gifts on your list are “must have” and set your sights on getting them for the best price while they are still available. Layaway is a good alternative to credit cards for expensive purchases if the store or online site’s fee is less than 10 percent of the value of the items. You can reap the same bargains and enjoy the same selection as shopping on credit as well as the added bonus of knowing it is all paid for when you take it home. Layaway
is also a good way to curb impulse buying later in the holiday season by enabling you to buy the gift you really want at a good price. Each store has its own rules and it is important to read the fine print carefully to be sure you understand the fees and cancellation policies. Avoid using credit. Shoppers spend 30% more on average when shopping with credit cards rather than cash. Also think twice before opening a new line of credit for a discount on that day’s purchases since any fees associated with a new credit card can end up costing you more than the money you’re saving. Cash, checks and debit cards are the best choice,
but if you must use credit, choose the card that gives you the lowest interest rate and most benefits, such as reward points or extended warranties. Navigate the deals. In their efforts to get you into their stores and not the competitions’, retailers advertise their sales. Many post them online as well as place ads in the paper. There are also internet sites devoted to announcing Black Friday sales in advance. Some stores open early or even on Thanksgiving Day and you should begin looking for the deals at the start of Thanksgiving week to be ready to put your holiday shopping and savings PLAN into action.

Impact Giving Celebrates Fifth Grant Season More than 125 guests attended the fifth grant season launch party for Laguna Beach-based Impact Giving, a women’s collective giving organization that makes grants locally and globally. Held at the Hilton Orange County/ Costa Mesa, the dinner marked a milestone for the nonprofit whose grants impact recipients in the realms of education, hunger and shelter, women and children, human rights, human services, health and wellness, the environment, and the arts and culture in the U.S. and worldwide. “My future could have been much less bright without Impact Giving’s help,” noted dinner speaker Abdi Yusuf, a graduate of San Diego-based Just in Time for Foster Youth, a past Impact Giving grant recipient. Just in Time helps young adults with education and basic household needs as they transition out of the foster care system. He added, “I am so grateful for the support from Impact Giving that allowed Just In Time to help me get started on a path of education and, eventually, a good career.” Also at the microphone and presented in videos were representatives from several other past grantees, including Lotus Outreach, which provides bicycles to at-risk girls in Cambodia as a method of safer, more efficient transportation to their schools; Families Forward, which helps Orange County’s homeless families gain long-term self-sufficiency through housing and financial education; International Princess Project, which frees Indian women enslaved in the sex trade and provides new skills and healthcare in a safe environment; and Girls Inc.’s 9-year-old spokesgirl Shelby McDougal, who wowed the crowd with her poise and impressive list of accomplishments acquired in part through Girls Inc. programs. “I am a better person because of Girls Inc., and Girls Inc. is a stronger organization because of Impact Giving – so thank you!” Shelby said. As guests entered, they were invited to write their ideas on a large, colorful chalkboard. The question at the top of the board asked: “What would you do with a million dollars?” Answers ranged from “Take care of all the animals!” to “Sail the world in a boat, giving monetary gifts along the way” to “Healthcare for everyone!” An audio visual program took the audience by video to India and Cambodia to show them film clips of grant recipients thanking Impact Giving. The pride and joy in the room among the Impact Giving partners was palpable, as one successful and meaningful accomplishment followed another during the program. Wells Fargo Bank was an event sponsor; new Impact Giving partner Jennifer Lipinski attended with several of her bank colleagues, Lynette Miller, Lori Millard, and Caren Roberson. Also in attendance were Peggy Goldwater Clay, a new partner, longtime partner Gina Nixon, the organization’s founders, Ann Duncan Levy, Sam Dawson, and Karen Wilson, and board member Dr. Judith Anderson, and Dr. Tammy Sicard. Other dinner sponsors (wine, dessert, and chocolate bars!) were The Tarbox Group, WealthWise Financial Services, Rager Resources and Sam Dawson, author of “Broad Appeal”. Upon joining, a person becomes a “partner” and has the opportunity to sponsor a favorite nonprofit organization for potential funding. Partners are encouraged to participate by serving on grant committees to vet the grant requests. Through partner training women learn the in-depth Impact Giving standards for wise and judicious philanthropy. Every partner casts her vote at the end of grant season, whether they have served on committees or not, to decide which grant applicants will be the recipients of an Impact Giving grant. In four years, Impact Giving has grown to more than 140 partners who share a passion to make a meaningful impact on lives throughout their local and global communities. They do so by individually donating $1,000 annually, and pooling their resources to collectively award in May each year. As a result of the collective effort, since its inception, Impact Giving has awarded $475,000 in grants to 11 international organizations and 15 local organizations. Approved 2014 grants, which will range from $10,000 to $40,000, will be announced next May. To learn more about Impact Giving visit www.impactgivingnow.org. Page 12

10 Ways to Use Thanksgiving Leftovers The dishwasher is humming. Half the family is napping. And all the leftovers are stored in the fridge. Odds are good that most of the family will simply want a turkey sandwich - and maybe some potato chips - for a late-night supper. But what about tomorrow? And the next day? Before you pack yet another turkey sandwich in your child’s lunchbox, try some of these ideas for turning your leftovers into brand new meals: Chef Salad: After a heavy Thanksgiving meal, many folks want to snack on lighter fare the next day. (Especially dieters who hope to avoid holiday weight gain!) Make a big green salad with plenty of fresh vegetables, like tomatoes, onions, peppers, celery and carrots. Top with cubed or sliced leftover turkey for a healthy and light meal. Turkey Salad Sandwich: Forget about throwing a few slices of turkey on some white bread. Mince some leftover meat and mix with mayo, diced onion, diced celery and a little Dijon mustard. It’s not chicken salad it’s turkey salad! For sandwich lovers, it’s a nice change from the typical turkey sandwich. Turkey Lasagna: Many people want something completely different after Thanksgiving - like Italian food! Page 14
And lasagna doesn’t have to be made with ground meat. Just follow your normal lasagna recipe, but add cubed leftover turkey to the sauce right before you layer the casserole. The sauce will keep it from becoming dry, and you’ll get a taste of Italy for dinner! Turkey Stir-Fry: If Italian food doesn’t appeal to your family, how about a taste of Asia? Simply stir-fry vegetables like broccoli and snow peas in a non-stick skillet or wok. At the last minute, toss in some sliced turkey and stir-fry until heated. Sprinkle a little soy sauce in the mix, and serve over steamed white rice. Turkey Fajitas: Mix some sliced turkey with some fajita seasoning (available in packets at your local supermarket). Fry up a few onions and green peppers in a skillet, then toss in the seasoned turkey and cook until heated. Wrap up the ingredients in a flour tortilla for quick and easy turkey fajitas. Turkey Mac & Cheese: Ever mixed a can of tuna with a box of mac & cheese? You can do the same with diced or shredded turkey! Just mix up the mac & cheese as usual, and add the turkey at the end of the cooking time. This kid-friendly dish is sure to please even the pickiest eater, even children who are tired of Thanksgiving
The Ladera Ranch News
leftovers. And what should you do with the rest of the leftovers? Rolls/bread: Freeze leftover bread to use later for breadcrumbs, croutons or stuffing. Veggies: Basic Thanksgiving vegetables like green beans, peas and corn can be added to vegetable soup or stew. They can also be added to casseroles (like the Turkey Mac &
Cheese). Stuffing: Soak with gravy and add as a middle layer to turkey sandwiches (similar to the “Moist Maker” from an episode of Friends). Mashed potatoes: Spread them as a topping for casseroles like potpie and Shepherd’s Pie. Shape leftover potatoes into patties and fry for breakfast.
