Tips for Smarter Shopping Whether you’re in the market for the newest gadget or stocking up on sports goods for the whole family, getting the most bang for your buck is top of mind for many families.

But obtaining those quality, dependable products you need at the best price can be tricky. With so many shopping outlets available – from online stores to physical locations – it can be difficult to know if you’re getting the product that suits your needs at a price that fits within your budget.

The following tips help consumers go into a store educated, so they can stretch their dollar and get exactly what they’re after.

Plan it out. Knowing exactly what you want before you shop will help you avoid overspending on extra things you don’t need. Ask around to see if friends, family or co-workers have experience with the product and what they recommend. Research the products you want and have a specific model in mind before you buy and you’ll avoid leaving a store or submitting your online cart with items you may later regret buying.

Invest in your new merchandise. Whether it’s a drop, spill or other mishap, life has a way of ruining your favorite goods. Protect your investment with a coverage plan such as SIMPLR, which is a consumer-friendly, hassle-free way to protect your products if they should stop working. The plan also covers sporting goods such as treadmills, golf clubs, sunglasses and other purchases from your local Sports Authority store, so you can always be sure to have what you need for your next outdoor adventure.

Become familiar with internet tools. Various sites and apps are available to help you find the best deals around. Before you buy, it’s important to review ratings for the product – from both consumers like you and professional reviewers.

Many sites also allow you to comparison shop for items. Download these apps on your smartphone so you can compare prices while you’re out and about scoping out deals.

Know your seller. Understand the refund, return and warranty policies from the seller before you make your purchase. Do you have protection in case the item breaks? Some retailers, such as Sports Authority offer SIMPLR, a coverage plan which makes the process of returning a broken

product easy with no deductibles, out-of-pocket repair costs or additional fees. To learn more, visit www.simplrplan.com.

Shop mindfully. Because your emotions can sway your purchases, always make sure to shop when you’re in the right frame of mind. A rough day at work or an upset in your personal life may cause you to indulge with an “I deserve this” mentality.

Finding exactly what you need at the price that fits your budget comes with the right planning, research and tools. Become a smarter shopper and you’ll never have to sacrifice quality on all the things you need for all of your daily adventures.

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 Page 4

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.

Enjoy the Season of Giving Year Round From clothing to housewares to toys, your old stuff can go a long way for someone new. As the season of giving approaches, look around your home – you might find there’s more to give than you thought.

Because everyone knows it is what’s inside that counts, The Glad Products Company has teamed up with Katie Holmes to support its Glad to Give program, which was inspired by people using Glad ForceFlex bags for heavy donations. Together, they are on a mission to inspire and enable giving year round and provide an easy way to do so.

“Winter fashion trends may change from year to year, but one thing that never goes out of style is helping others by giving back to your community,” Holmes said.

Holmes also offers these tips to make giving back enjoyable for the whole family: Make It Personal – Getting personally involved in a cause you care about is particularly powerful whether you are donating your time or personal items. Take the time to look through areas of your home, such as closets, kitchen cupboards and the garage, for items that may once have had special meaning to you, but are no longer needed. Donating those items to someone in need is a much better choice than letting them sit unused.

Be Glad to Give – Whether you’re giving to a loved one or a complete stranger, giving provides you with rewards that extend far beyond that

Katie Holmes moment in time. Holmes recently donated a bag full of her family’s winter coats to One Warm Coat – a national nonprofit that works to provide gently worn coats to those in need – and was happy to lighten her load for a good cause. Just fill a Glad bag full of your gently used clothing or household items for donation and go to GladtoGive.com to schedule a free pick up with a local charity of your choice.

Involve Your Family – It’s never too early to teach your little ones how to have a giving spirit. Holmes is always looking for fun little ways to involve her daughter in giving to others – wrapping presents, baking

cookies or making cards are easy ways for them to spend time together and make a meaningful contribution to our favorite local charities or even a friendly neighbor.

Enjoy the Benefits of Giving Back – One of the best things you can do with your gently used items is to give them a second life. While 33.6 percent of overall giving happens in the last three months of the year, the benefits are felt year round as people who help others are happier and healthier, according to the Network for Good Digital Giving Index.

Signup for your free donation bag and find more ways to give back year round at GladtoGive.com.

As your personal benefits increase, so should your charitable giving increase ~Warren Buffett

Kitchen Must-Haves for Holiday Hosting With the right preparation and kitchen set up, hosting a holiday feast can be as enjoyable as sitting down to savor that delicious holiday meal.

Having the right kitchen appliances and making sure they are working properly before you begin can go a long way toward a successful holiday gathering with friends and family.

Whether you’re looking for new appliances to upgrade your kitchen or are in need of an appliance repair before the holidays, you don’t need to go it alone.

Make meal prep simple. From turkey roasters and fryers to slow cookers and stand mixers, there are dozens of ways to simplify your meal prep and help ensure perfect results.

Many dishes using roasters and slow cookers, for example, require little attention once the food starts cooking. But even appliances that tend to command more attention, such as the range, can lend a helping hand and save precious time with the right features on board.

Keep clean-up to a minimum. When appetites are satisfied and the meal winds down, it’s time to turn attention to clean up which is typically the least pleasant aspect of holiday hosting.

Other time-savers to consider: a powerful garbage disposal to help make quick work of any remnants left on plates and a double basin sink so

you can soak pans while also rinsing off fine china, wooden cutlery and other items you prefer to hand wash.

Enjoy leftovers longer. Though some delicious dishes may get scraped clean by enthusiastic guests, chances are, you’ll have leftovers for

days. A freezer is an ideal solution for long-term storage of leftovers.

For the portions you’ll want to serve again soon, a refrigerator with ample cooling power is a must.

When it’s finally time to enjoy those leftovers, a microwave will allow you

to quickly reheat your dishes long after your satisfied guests have left.

Microwaves that double as convection ovens are ideal because they help thick carvings of meat retain moisture.

Orange County Fire Authority Fire Station 56 Wins National Design Award The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) has been nationally recognized by Firehouse Magazine for the design and architecture of Fire Station 56 in Rancho Mission Viejo.

OCFA received a second place silver medal in the category of Career Fire Station Design, among a national field of entries, for its recently completed station which opened on July 10.

“OCFA is honored to win this award. The design and innovation of WLC Architect combined with the skill and efficiency of builder Erickson Hall, resulted in an outstanding facility that blended perfectly into the Rancho Mission Viejo Village of Sendero,” said OCFA Property Manager Steve Chambers. “The project was completed efficiently and the cooperation among the Rancho Mission Viejo Company, the Orange County Building Department, and OCFA could not have been better.”

OCFA’s Fire Station 56, which serves the communities of Rancho Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch and San Juan Capistrano, was designed and built by Erickson Hall-WLC Architects in the Spanish Progressive style

championed by Architect Irvine Gill.

The 10,000 square foot facility has three apparatus bays, housing for three fire companies and a state-ofthe-art kitchen. The project represents the first time OCFA has built a fire station using the design-build delivery method which allows a station to be designed and constructed by a single

entity. In the past, fire station delivery required two years to complete. Fire Station 56 was finished in 18 months, on time and within budget.

A panel of five judges who included two fire chiefs, two architects and one fire protection engineer/architect with expertise in fire station design selected the award winners in five

separate categories. OCFA, and all the winners of The 2015 National Fire Station Design Awards, are featured in the November edition of Firehouse Magazine.

The OCFA is a joint powers authority that serves more than 1.8 million residents in 23 cities and the unincorporated areas of the county.

SEMA hottest car products in one place Show in Las Vegas showcases Written by Peter Leonard Photos by William Casper Impress your next-door neighbors with the latest and greatest from the best and brightest manufacture of automotive customs accessories.

Whatever your motivation, your desire to bling, raise or lower your car or truck comes from wanting to stand out.

Bottom line is Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas has everything you ever wanted to get you noticed.

The trend of old school and new school car and truck accessories was seen at every turn. Car and Driver declared this year’s show is among the best they attended in years and I totally agree. Custom Accessories for all style of vehicles were on display and the price tags for some items ranged from $10 for jeep mirrors to $20,000 for rims for your new Mercedes Benz.

The most noticeable accessories that has taken over the low end and luxury market is Vehicle Warps.

It’s happening to used vehicles to give a new look to the car or truck and exotic million dollars cars.

The vinyl wrap manufactures are able to produce high quality photo images for wrapping any vehicle. The leather car bras of the 80’s has been replaced with the clear vinyl wraps now used to protect the front hood.

Many business have been using vinyl wraps to advertise and this is not quickly spreading to the artist designer wanting to wrap their cars.

The process is much easier to provide a custom color and design that would have taken hundreds of hours in the paint booth in the past.

In terms of fads, the over-fender and wide-body kits continued to dominate at SEMA 2015 in the lower import cars is still going to continue.

Many had thought the wide-body trend started to fade out, but that doesn’t seem to be the case – at least not in Las Vegas at the SEMA show.

Over a hundred thousand attend the SEMA Show each year, and while a trade show and not open to the public, it’s the one auto show every enthusiast wants to attend.

Many display booths feature cars, trucks or SUVs in their displays and showcase their products and also to attract attention with the wildest modifications which often the more extreme the vehicle, bigger crowds around their booths.

The SEMA show is an International trade show and signs of a global recession were nowhere in sight when looking over the Las Vegas Convention Center floor. Occupying more than a million net square feet, with more than 2,000 exhibitors, 10,000+ booth spaces and a total attendance of more than 100,000, SEMA is the second largest trade show in Vegas behind only the Consumer Electronic Show.

In the next few months, Orange County will start to see the wild ideas shown at SEMA start to drive down the streets as it’s one the world’s largest customs vehicle markets in the world. The southern California desire and wildness to impress the next-door neighbors is greatly understood by the manufactures and often the area the sets trends for the industry.

Four-step PLAN Helps Shoppers Save on holiday shopping 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.

Human Options’ Fall Fundraiser Nets over $190,000 during October Domestic Violence Awareness Month Photos by: Ann Chatillon Human Options brings the community together each October during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month for their popular Fall Fundraiser that supports the nonprofit’s life-changing programs that help abused women and children escape domestic violence and rebuild their lives.

Held at The Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel, an enthusiastic crowd of 425 enjoyed an afternoon luncheon helping Human Options reach net proceeds of $190,490.

Best-selling author and co-founder of the Girls Leadership Institute Rachel Simmons gave a dynamic and entertaining keynote address about why girls struggle with the pressure to please others and how they can develop assertive communication skills and social-emotional intelligence.

Simmons is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls and The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence. As co-founder of the national nonprofit Girls Leadership Institute, she helps develop emotional intelligence, communication skills and confidence among today’s girls and young women. Simmons has appeared on Oprah and the Today Show and Odd Girl Out was adapted into an acclaimed Lifetime television movie.

Attendees were welcomed by co-chairs Lisa Wood, CEO of Casa Teresa, and Karen Rager-Takeda, President/CEO of Rager Resources. And after the keynote address, several individuals briefly shared their personal stories of domestic violence ending with Rager-Takeda’s account of leaving an abusive marriage and finding refuge and the tools to regain her life at a domestic violence shelter.

This was the last Fall Fundraiser for Human Options’ founding CEO Vivian Clecak who will retire in early 2016. Vivian spoke about how Human Options began thirty-four years ago and that she was lucky to find ‘right work’ in her life. She also acknowledged Human Options will be in great hands with strong internal leadership team and a dynamic Board of Directors.

A donation campaign raised $63,500 and major event underwriters included title sponsor, The Jaffe Family and presenting sponsors, Nancy W. Dahan and Elaine Weinberg. Other major sponsors included Yvonne and Damien Jordan and Barbara Roberts.

An opportunity drawing featured dinner for four at award-winning Chef Franco Barone’s Il Barone Ristorante in Newport Beach accompanied by two vintage bottled of aged Italian wines and an Orange theory Fitness package.

The mission of Human Options is to provide safe haven and life changing programs to help abused women, their children and families rebuild their lives, while working with the community to break the cycle of domestic violence.

Now in its 34th year, Human Options provides a full continuum of services to stop the violence – from a 24-hour hotline, emergency and transitional living programs, education and prevention presentations and trainings in the community, and low/no cost services including counseling, legal advocacy, children’s therapies, and empowerment classes, offered in six cities in the county.

Over 20,000 clients are served annually and independent academic research consistently verifies that 90% of their residential clients continue to be violence free one year or more after graduating from the program.

ladera ranch gets ready for El Niño storms 1. CREATE AN EMERGENCY FAMILY PLAN 2. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL) 3. PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT 4. SANDBAG CONSTRUCTION 5. SANDBAG SUPPLIERS 6. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE AND FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE 7. IF AN EVACUATION IS ADVISED Discuss what to do about power outages and personal injuries.

Draw a floor plan of your home, and mark an escape route from each room.

Locate the main electric fuse box, water service main, and natural gas main. Learn how and when to turn these utilities off. Teach all responsible family members. Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves.

Remember, turn off the utilities only if you suspect the lines are damaged or if you are instructed to do so. If you turn the gas off, you will need a professional to turn it back on.

Pick one out-of-state and one local friend or reative for family members to call if separated by disaster (it is often easier to call out-of-state than within the affected area).

• Post emergency telephone numbers near telephones.

• Teach children how and when to call 911, police and fire.

• Teach children how to make long distance telephone calls.

• Instruct household members to turn on the radio for emergency information.

Pick two meeting places: • A place near your home in case of a fire.

• A place in your neighborhood in case you cannot return home, • Learn the safest route from your home or job to high, safe ground in case you have to evacuate in a hurry, and be sure to keep your gas tank full!!

• Take a basic first aid and CPR class.

• Make at itemize list of personal property, including furnishings, clothing and valuables; photograph your home inside and out, which will help settle insurance claims. Keep photos in a safe deposit box.

FOR MORE INFORMATION The federal Emergency Management Agency offers free publications on protecting your home and assembling and emergency kit, 1-800-638-6620. El Niño information is available on the agency’s web site: http://www.fema.gov RESIDENTIAL Losses due to flooding can often be cut dramatically by carrying out an effective pre- planned set of actions.

The emergency plan may consist primarily of a checklist of things to be done and a little pre-thinki ng about where contents will be moved, who’s going to help, where things will be stored and so on. Among others, items on the emergency “to do “ list might include: • Moving items to be left in the structure to an upper floor or stacked Page 14

on top of each other to put at least some furniture above flood level.

• Throwing curtains and drapes up over rods.

• Pulling up and removing carpets and rugs.

• Motors to be removed from furnace and other equipment located in the low levels of the house.

• Unplug equipment that can’t be moved.

• Assemble medicine, heirlooms, valuables and other items to be for taking during evacuation.

COMMERCIAL Commercial and industrial sites offer the opportunity and need for more detailed planning and sometimes new construction or other preparations to facilitate putting the plan into action when necessary. This may include such things as: • Preparing electrical equipment for quick disconnect.

• Preparing equipment for quick evacuation.

• Keeping raw materials and products on pallets for quick removal.

• Providing means for opening all necessary doors manually in the event of a power outage. Arranging for transportation when needed.

• Arranging for storage space when needed.

• Keeping on hand all items needed for rapid cleanup and restoration of production.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT • List of important phone numbers (family, physicians, etc.)

• Copy of insurance policy.

• Credit cards and cash.

• An extra set of car keys.

• Inexpensive rabbit-ears television antennas to use when cable goes out.

• Special items for infants, elderly or disabled family members.

• Extra batteries.

• Matches.

• Clock (wind-up or batteryoperated).

• Blankets or sleeping bags.

• Scissors.

• Plastic garbage bags.

• Map of the area.

• Clean change of clothes & rain gear.

• A supply of non-perishable packaged or canned food and a non-electric can opener.

• A first aid kit and prescription medications.

• Flashlights and extra bulbs.

• Battery-operated lanterns.

(Candles and kerosene lanterns are fire hazards.)

• Working fire extinguishers .

• Battery-operated radio.

• Assemble supplies you might need in an evacuation.

Store them in an easy-to-carry container such as a backpack or duffel bag. Put aside in a special box in garage. Keep heat-sensitive items inside home and rotate stock throughout season. Batteries can go in refrigerator.

WATER Having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency.

A normally active person needs to drink at least two quarts of water each day, hot environments can

The Ladera Ranch News

double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will need even more. You will also need water for food preparation and hygiene. Store a total of at least one-gallon per person, per day. You should store at least a two-week supply of water for each member of our family. If supplies run low, never ration water. Drink the amount you need today, and try to find more for tomorrow. You can minimize the amount of water your body needs by reducing activity and staying cool.

Store water in sealed, unbreakable containers. Identify the storage date and replace every six months Sandbags The use of sandbags is a simple, but effective, way to prevent or reduce floodwater damage.

Properly filled and placed, sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around instead of through buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a watertight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations.

Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of levied streams and for training current flow to specific areas.

Untied sandbags are recommended for most situations. Tied sandbags should only be used for special situations when pre-filling and stockpiling may be required for specific purposes such as filling holes, holding objects in position or to form barriers backedby supportive planks. Tied sandbags are generally easier to handle and to stockpile, however sandbag filling operations can generally best be accomplished at or near the placement site and tying of bags would waste valuable time and effort. If the bags are pre-filled at a distant location, due consideration must be given to transportation vehicles and placement site access.

The most commonly use bags are untreated burlap sacks available from feed or hardware stores.

Empty bags can be stockpiled for emergency use and will be serviceable for several years if properly stored. Filled bags of earth material will deteriorate quickly.

A heavy bodied or sandy soil is most desirable for filling sandbags, but any usable material at or near the site has definite advantages.

Course sand could leak out through the weave of the bag (to prevent this double bag the material). Gravely or rocky soils are generally poor

choices because of their permeability characteristics.

Sandbag barriers can easily be constructed by two people, as most individuals have the physical capabilities to carry or drag a sandbag weighing approximately 30 pounds the use of sandbags is a simple, but effective, way to prevent or reduce floodwater damage.

Properly filled and placed, sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around instead of through buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a watertight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations.

Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of levied streams and for training current flow to specific areas.

HOW TO FILL A SANDBAG Filling sandbags is a two-person operation: One member of the team should place the empty bag between or slightly in front of widespread feet with arms extended. The throat of the bag is folded to form a collar and held with the hands in a position that will enable the other team member to empty a rounded shovel full of material into the open end. The person holding the sack should be standing with knees slightly flexed and head and face as far away from the action of the shovel as practical.

The shoveler should carefully release the rounded shovel full of soil into the throat of the bag. Haste in this operation can result in undue spillage and added work. The use of safety goggles and gloves is desirable and sometimes necessary.

For large-scale operations, filling sandbags can be expedited by using bag holding racks, metal funnels, and power loading equipment. However, the special equipment required is not always available during an emergency. Bags should not be filled more than half full or less than onethird their capacity.

PLACEMENT Remove any debris from the area where bags are to be placed.

Place the l/2-filled bags lengthwise and parallel to the direction of flow.

Fold the open end of the unfilled portion of the bag to form a triangle.

(If bed bags are used, flatten or fire the tied end.) Place succeeding bags on the folded or fired portion of the previous bag and stamp into place to eliminate voids and form a tight seal.

Turkey Croissant

FAMILY FEATURES

A

fter the big day has come and gone, most holiday hosts find themselves still talking turkey. What to do with all that leftover bird?

During the long weekend following the holiday, you can put those leftovers to good use. Recipes that incorporate turkey in deliciously unique ways will help you use up those leftovers and clear out the fridge before you know it.

To ensure the tastiest dishes you can feel good about serving your loved ones, look for the USDA-verified seal on your turkey’s packaging to know that your turkey was raised with no growth-promoting antibiotics by farmers who care. One good option: Honeysuckle White, the first major turkey brand to supply turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics and without charging a premium price.

For more recipes and preparation tips, visit www.honeysucklewhite.com.

To toast pine nuts: Place nuts in dry skillet in single layer and toast over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent burning. Because pine nuts can burn easily, it is a good idea to watch until they are golden and fragrant, which means they are toasted.

Quality Starts on the Farm

Darrell Glaser, a sixth-generation farmer from Texas, along with his mother, Jeannette, and wife, Shannon, started raising turkeys more than 20 years ago. Today, his four sons also help on the family’s farm.

“We do everything we can to produce a quality product that other families would be comfortable eating during the holidays,” Glaser said.

Glaser, who has raised nearly 14 million turkeys, says this starts with keeping the birds healthy and comfortable.

“We take really good care to ensure the environment is just right for our turkeys. This includes keeping the floors of our barns dry and making sure the birds have plenty of fresh air and good quality water and feed,” Glaser said.

Glaser says if turkeys are happy and comfortable, they are generally healthy, which reduces the need to prescribe medicine, like antibiotics.

Glaser and his family are one of more than 700 independent farm families who are raising turkeys for Honeysuckle White without using growth-promoting antibiotics.

“We feed America and want to provide a quality food source for our customers,” Glaser said. “With consumers more concerned about their food, if we can produce wholesome turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics, then we should.”

Light Up Your Holidays Whether you are the first one on your block to hang lights or the lastminute decorator hurrying to decorate your tree, nothing is more frustrating than having a section of lights fail to illuminate.

Spirits can be dampened when you’ve gathered the family to decorate the tree or house and come to find that some of your light sets don’t work.

Tips to keep your holidays bright and stress levels low when it comes to holiday lighting: • Measure: To estimate the number of lights needed for your tree, plan an average of 100 lights for every foot of tree height. Serious decorators often double that.

• LED vs. Incandescent: LEDs are more expensive than incandescent lights, but last longer. Likewise, more sets of LED lights can be strung together end-to-end than traditional incandescent light sets. When it comes to energy use, a tree with 1,000 incandescent lights can cost $10 over an average holiday season while the same tree using LED lights costs around $1.50.

• Inspect: Before stringing lights, check for broken bulbs and sockets, frayed cords, burned out lights and loose connections. For sets with bulb

outages, use the LightKeeper Pro for incandescent lights or the LED Keeper for LED lights to find and fix the problem. Squeeze the trigger a few times and most light sets will illuminate in seconds.

• Connect: When using incandescent lights, connect no more than three strands of mini string sets together. LED light sets can handle connecting more than 30 strands together.

• Indoor vs. Outdoor: Commercialgrade light sets are more reliable for outdoor use because of their durability and thicker insulation.

• Live and artificial trees: When stringing lights on a tree, begin at the top of the tree and wind the strands through its center, widening with the tree’s shape. Real trees should be watered daily. When the tree is purchased, request half an inch be sawed off so the tree can take in more water.

• Replace and repair lights: To get the most out of your light sets, do occasional visual checks for any bulbs that are no longer working.

Replace those bulbs as soon as possible. Two burned out bulbs can decrease the lifespan of the light set by 39 percent; four burned out bulbs by 67 percent.
