How to Host a Hot Winter Party If cooler temps have you feeling blue, there’s no better time for a party with family and friends to lift your spirits.

Though you may not want to treat your guests to an al fresco brunch, winter weather shouldn’t hold you back from entertaining in style.

From playful party games to creative recipes that feature the fresh flavors of watermelon, a little mid-winter gathering is just what you need to beat boredom and get you primed for sunnier months ahead.

To make your winter party a hot success, follow these tips for setting the theme and creating the perfect menu: • Don’t shy away from foods typically associated with warmer weather.

Watermelon, for example, is actually available year-round and makes a surprisingly healthful and delicious addition to a winter party spread, whether in a fruity drink, side dish or dessert. The recipe below combines decadent chocolate fondue with the light, sweet pop of juicy watermelon.

Remember to save the rind to use as a pretty carved centerpiece.

• Pick a theme that pays homage

to the season. Penguins, snowmen, icicles – the possibilities are endless, so set your imagination free. Remember that lighting sets the mood, so look for options that complement your theme, whether soft and subtle candles or bright and colorful paper lanterns.

• Take advantage of the cooler weather as an excuse to savor an array of rich, decadent comfort foods.

Serve warm, crusty breads with dips or a thick, creamy soup or chili. Or delight guests with an indulgent chocolate fondue with watermelon dippers for a little extra fun.

• Serve a hot cocoa or spiced cider bar and let guests add their own toppings and spices, ranging from whipped cream and maraschino cherries to cinnamon sticks and caramel syrup (adult libations optional).

• Help guests forget the blustery outdoors with action-packed party games that get the blood flowing and rev your internal temps. Charades is a classic example that lets a large group participate. Use wine bottles and ribbon-wrapped miniature looms for a grown-up ring toss. Or simply

prepare a spirited play list with music so lively your guests can’t help but get up and dance.

For more entertaining recipes and party ideas, www.watermelon.org.

Watermelon and Spicy Mayan Dark Chocolate Fondue Servings: 4 4 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 /2 cup fat-free half and half, plus extra reserve 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 /2 teaspoon chili powder 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1 /2 teaspoon coriander 8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 60 percent cocoa powder)

Wrap watermelon cubes in paper towels to soak up excess fluid. Set aside.

In medium saucepan, bring half and half and spices to almost simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate. Let chocolate melt, then continue to stir until thoroughly blended and creamy. Adjust flavors to personal taste.

Transfer fondue to fondue pot and heat according to directions. (If fondue becomes too thick, stir in extra reserve half and half, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.)

Place watermelon cubes on platter with fondue forks or skewers.

Bake Away the Winter Blues When the weather outside turns frightful, baking homemade treats will be so delightful. Whether it’s with friends, the kids or even by yourself, making treats is a great way to keep warm and active when snowed in.

Try these tips from Wilton for fun indoor activities during wintry weather: • Plan ahead. Stock up your pantry ahead of time with baking and decorating supplies, so you’ll have what you need during snow days.

• No two snowflakes are alike. It’s easy to make a deliciously unique treat. Bake a large brownie or a cake in a Snowflake Tube Pan (see recipe below). Decorate it with icing and marshmallows, sprinkles, candycoated chocolates or chocolate chips.

• Build tasty snowmen. Instead of getting bundled up to build a snowman outside, make fun snowmen cookies with a two-piece Melted Snowman Cookie Cutter Set (see recipe below).

After decorating, enjoy the cookies with a cup of cocoa.

For more fun and tasty winter recipes, baking tips and inspiration, www.wilton.com.

S’mores Snowflake Brownies Servings: 12 Wilton Snowflake Tube Pan 1 box (18 ounces) brownie mix Water, oil and eggs to prepare mix 4 graham crackers, broken into bite-size pieces 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare tube pan with vegetable pan spray.

In large bowl, stir together brownie mix, water, oil and eggs until well combined. Fold in broken graham crackers. Pour into prepared pan and smooth so batter is evenly distributed.

Bake 24-26 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of brownie comes out nearly clean. Cool in pan

on cooling grid 10 minutes.

Remove from pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit 5 minutes; spread over top. Cover with marshmallows. Let chocolate harden before serving.

Spicy Snowman Cookies Yield: 18 sets of cookies 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon chili powder 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon Wilton Imitation Clear Vanilla Extract Wilton Melted Snowman Cookie Cutter Set Cookie Icing: White, Black, Orange Brown and Red Preheat oven to 350ºF. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and chili powder.

In separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light

and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Divide dough into 2 balls.

On floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches diameter by 1/8 inch thick. Dip cookie cutters in flour before each use. Transfer cookies to ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake puddle cookies for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Bake hat cookies on separate cookie sheet for 8-9 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.

Cool cookies on sheet on cooling grid 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on grid.

Decorate cooled cookies. On puddle cookies, use white cookie icing to outline and fill in. Pipe black icing facial features and buttons, orange icing pull-out dot nose and brown icing arms.

On hat cookies, use black cookie icing to outline and fill in. Add red cookie icing hatband. Attach hat to main cookie with dot of icing.

Note: Color Flow Mix and Royal Icing can also be used.

S H ARIN G T H E C OTO DE C A Z A NEWS ALL OVER A F RI C A Massey Family Brings Their Hometown Coto de Caza News Around the World

Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan Massey are pictured in 110-degree weather in front of the pyramids with their hometown newspaper The Coto de Caza News.

When the Massey family took their excellent summer vacation, they decided to bring their local Coto de Caza Newspaper with them around the world to keep up with their hometown events and to show the people they met along the way about the community in which we live.

“What better way of giving British, South African and Egyptian nationals a taste of Coto de Caza than letting them leaf through a copy of our own home town newspaper, “says Lori Massey.

The Massey’s toured London, then on to South Africa’s Johannesburg, and throughout Egypt, pulling out the Coto de Caza News wherever they went and sharing it with people they met.

They visited the Apartheid Museum

in Johannesburg and then stayed in the Lost Sun City for a few days of relaxation. They flew to South Africa’s Kruger National Park where they went on safari in two different locations near the park, observing all kinds of wild life, including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and rhinos. They even witnessed a leopard that killed a cheetah. They were able to hold and feed lion cubs and take a walk in the nearby bush with several toddler lions.

Their last stop was Egypt and a tour of the pyramids, the solar boat and the sphinx. The Massey’s showed others at the various camps and their guides the Coto de Caza News and spent lots of time explaining and discussing living in Coto de Caza and South Orange County.

The Massey family, Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan Massey even brought the Coto de Caza News to the exotic hotel at the Lost Sun City South Africa.

People from Germany and Australia were interested to hear over dinner conversation about Coto de Caza and seemed fascinated to see some of the pictures and stories in the Coto de Caza News. Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan are pictured in 110-degree weather in front of the pyramids.

Shalem grew up as a child of Christian missionary parents to the Middle East. He had visited Egypt on several occasions and wanted to give his wife and children the opportunity to visit as well. They visited Tahrir square, which was the center of the recent protests in Cairo.

They viewed a number of buildings that had burned and left to stand as a reminder of the revolution. They

passed through several barbed wire checkpoints near the Tahrir square and a military presence was visible in many locations, including the Egyptian Museum, where the Massey family toured the collections of sarcophagus and King Tut’s exhibit.

According to their guide, tourism was down 92% since the revolution.

The protesters have scared away a great deal of tourists, but the Massey family was grateful for the opportunity to visit and learn about a culture that was so different from their own and give their friends living abroad a glimpse of living in South Orange County’s Coto de Caza and sharing with their hosts a copy of the Coto de Caza News.

The Coto de Caza News comes to Ngala South Africa during their Safari excursion in Kruger National Park.courtesy of Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan Massey.

Childhelp’s Rat Pak Redux at Balboa Bay Club Nets $800,000 For Popular Children’s Charity Event Co-Chairs Shan Vincent, Kristen James and Joy Whitlock The Orange County Chapter of Childhelp welcomed over 350 guests to the Rat Pak Redux at the Balboa Bay Club. This first time event which included a Silent and Live Auction, Raffle Drawing, Dancing with music provided by the Tijuana Dogs, dinner and Gaming Tables netted close to $800,000.

With guests dressed in their best sophisticated Rat Pak attire, the women with their glamourous gowns and the men in their Frank Sinatra styled tux’s, they were greeted by lovely ladies passing out cigars and Tiporillo’s.

Reminiscent of the 1940’s, hues of red and gold cast a smoky backdrop for the Rat Pak theme.

The dining tables were dressed in black, red, white and gold. Guests dined on a salad of mixed greens with goat cheese, pecans and sliced pears; the entre consisted of a duet of Filet Mignon and White Fish with an array of vegetables, then a Chocolate soufflé for a decadent dessert to finish things off.

The program began with Childhelp President Debra Violette who welcomed everyone in attendance. She introduced Eric Schneider, author of the book “The Choir Boy” – which documents his journey of surviving childhood sex abuse, alcohol and cocaine addiction, and a life of crime as a member of the infamous Whitey Bulger organized crime syndicate. At one time a professional bank robber, he is now a successful building contractor and in a loving relationship. He was called up to the podium and spoke about his hopes to raise awareness of abuse through his story.

The Founder’s Award was presented by Childhelp Founder Sara O’Meara to Jacquie and Michael Casey for their long term commitment to Childhelp as members and major supporters. The Casey’s have been very generous to Childhelp for over 25 years both financially and with their time volunteering every chance they get. Also acknowledged was Childhelp Ambassador Maksim Chmerkovskiy from Dancing with the Stars who dazzled everyone with his smile.

Live Auction items generously donated were a Huntington Harbor Cruise of Lights for 10 Aboard a 64’ Yacht; Balboa Bay Club Resort Stay and Dinner for 8 with wine pairings; a 52 Bottle Wine Wall Collection; Big Bear Lake Waterfront Estate; Best Ever Block Party for 40; Men’s Corum Admiral’s Cup Leap Second 48 Luxury Timepiece; Seattle Getaway for 2 at the Fairmont Olympic; Men’s Made-to-Measure Suit from Ermenegildo Zegna, Entertainers’ Delight Wine Tasting Party for 20; and a Newport Harbor Cruise for 10 aboard a 90’Yacht.

Manhattan’s and martinis were the drink of choice while guests enjoyed the dancing to the Tijuana Dogs Band into the night.

The event chairs; Kristen James, Shan Vincent and Joy Whitlock planned the event with committee members Julie and Mark Adams, Krista and Eli Arce, Linda and Thomas Brechtel, Linda and Jay Burns, Nancy Cardin, MaryAllyn Dexter, Susan and Jade Earlabaugh, Patti Edwards, Michael FitzGerald, Gwen Forquer, Michelle George, Jill Glick, Brad Hinman, David James, Jennifer and Michael Kite, Ken Kotchnik, Michelle Langston, Paul McDonald, Katherine and Cory Meredith, Diana & Chris Miner, Perla Pergis, Pam and Bud Pharris, Joyce and Mark Simon, Gina Van Ocker, Alix Vincent, Debra Violette, Nancy Whitlock and Zlatko Zadro.

Childhelp provides a broad continuum of child abuse prevention and treatment programs that directly serve children and their families. Childhelp works to prevent and educate children about child abuse and neglect, combined with the healing programs to help those children who have already endured sexual, physical or emotional abuse, the organization of Childhelp has benefited over 5 million children to date. For more information about Childhelp, visit www.Childhelp.org.

Design Diaries...

Brought to you by Anissa Swanzy of SKD Studios

Enjoy the Benefits of

Design Diaries is a bi-weekly segment; meant to inspire, influence and educate homewoners that are ready to make a change to their homes but just don’t know where to start.

DECK THE HALLS… The Holidays are such a special time of year for us at SKD Studios. I love nothing more than filling the house with holiday cheer – from the wreath on the front door to the apothecary jars filled with silver balls. When my girls were younger we used to do a special homemade wreath for the front door. It was a special time creating something together that we could enjoy year after year. We do a lot of traveling now that they are older, but I still love to make sure that the front door looks amazing. When your decorating for the holidays – no matter what Holiday you celebrate, don’t forget to think outside the box. Ready made ornaments are easy and fun, but making something at home brings a special meaning. My favorite prop to have on hand is glass jars. Fill them with anything, from pinecones to inexpensive ornaments. Nothing says the holidays like a fresh live poinsettia, you can buy them anywhere, (check your local high school fundraisers) put them in a large garden urn for a show-stopping entrance way.

Don’t think that you have to stick to traditional colors either – at SKD Studios it’s a coastal Christmas, we have garland ranging from evergreen to turquoise and any coastal color in between. We hear from clients all the time that they love the way their house looks during Christmas because it is so full – Keep in mind that if you use colors that are not the traditional Christmas colors, you can keep your decorations up all year round.

SERVICES: • Custom, Semi Custom and Budget Friendly Cabinets • Countertop Replacements • Tile Backsplash/Flooring • Color Consultations • Custom Furnishings • Space Planning for both Commercial and Residential • Full Service Interior Design Studio • Custom Window Treatments

This holiday season, try something new, create a new tradition with your family or make a point to set the table – even if you don’t have a big gathering coming – bring out the new china, light the candles and enjoy good food and good company.

From all of us at SKD Studios – we wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza or whatever special day you and your family celebrate! If you haven’t already, please come stop by our studio!

Call today for the kitchen or bath of your dreams.

Caramel to cranberries: Holiday stain-busting tips keep carpets bright Whether it was the ghouls trick-ortreating on Halloween, the gobbles of great food on Thanksgiving, or the gatherings of loved ones over the holiday season, you will likely be hosting an event at your home in the upcoming months. Food and friends make the perfect pairing for celebrations - but that can mean spills and splashes on carpets. There’s no need to panic when you know the tricks the pros use to treat tough holiday carpet stains.

“It is important to treat spots and stains promptly and properly to avoid letting them do permanent damage to the fibers,” explains Barry Lichtenstein, a certified master textile cleaner and owner of Amcho Carpet Cleaning in Framingham, Mass. “This can cause damage to either the color or texture of the fibers.”

From splashes of punch and gravy to smears of caramel and cranberries, the holiday season can leave your carpet looking drab. Lichtenstein says many homeowners with good intentions are actually making stains worse by incorrectly treating the spots. He advises homeowners to avoid these common mistakes when treating carpet stains: * Do not over-saturate the stain with cleaning products. This just makes a

small spot larger. * Do not rub the carpet. This can cause damage to the texture of the carpet. * Do not put water on a dry soil.

Rather, make sure to vacuum it first.

When fighting the inevitable drips and dribbles of entertaining at home, Lichtenstein says there are a few general best practices for treating carpet stains.

1. First, remove as much stain material as possible. If it is dry, vacuum up as much as you can. If it is semisolid, scrape or scoop it up with a spoon or dull knife. If it is liquid, blot it up.

2. Next, blot the stain with cool water, and then blot dry.

3. Make foam using a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon clear liquid dishwashing soap in a cup of tepid water. Be sure to always test any cleaning agents in an inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure there is no adverse reaction with the flooring. If not, apply the foam with a sponge or soft brush to the stained area in a wiping motion going toward the center of the spot.

If you start in the center with circular motions, the stain will spread.

4. Finally, blot with cool water, then blot dry.

From candy canes to fudge to

Grandma’s famous yams, most stains can be cleaned using these techniques. For additional stain removal information, Lichtenstein recommends visiting the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Residential Spot Solver on carpet-rug.org, or choosing a spot remover from the CRI list of tested and certified products.

In addition to stains, parties mean more foot traffic in your home. As people come and go during your holidays, you’ll likely notice extra soil on carpets and other flooring.

There’s no need to panic that your carpet investment is compromised.

Simply vacuum regularly with a quality vacuum that has received the CRI Seal of Approval, which means it’s been tested thoroughly for soil removal,-soil containment and the ability to maintain the texture and appearance of carpet.

Frequent vacuuming is also a great way to keep the air in your home clean, especially during the long months of winter when we spend most of our time indoors. A high efficiency vacuum from the Seal of Approval list removes 80 percent or more of the soil in a carpet - making carpet a good option even for allergy sufferers.

“Carpets and upholstery fabrics

should be cleaned on a regular basis before they show overall soiling or staining,” Lichtenstein says. “When a high level of overall soiling or staining has been reached, there is always some permanent damage that has occurred. For the best results, clean the fabrics before they reach that level of soiling.”

How often should you vacuum?

The CRI recommends high-traffic or pet areas be vacuumed daily, medium-traffic areas be vacuumed about twice a week and light-traffic areas should be vacuumed weekly.For tough holiday stains or deep set-in soils, it may be time to call in the professionals for help. Working with an IICRC certified firm (a leading certifying body for the cleaning and restoration industries) that uses CRI Seal of Approval equipment and cleaning agents ensures your carpets and upholstery will be cleaned the right way by knowledgeable experts.

DIY decorating that lasts all season long

As the holidays roll around, it’s natural to want to spread good tidings and cheer with festive decorations like wreaths, candy canes and Santa Claus figurines. But this year, instead of digging out the same old holiday decorations, why not create some new looks that will last the entire winter season, even after you put away the gift wrap and ornaments?

Stimulate the senses Nothing says winter like the fresh smell of pine and the soft, warm glow of candle light. Repurpose simple glass bottles into an outdoorsy candlescape with Krylon Natural Stone Textured Finish spray paint. Available in eight colors, like Olivine, it goes on easy

and gives you the natural beauty of stone and an elegant, professionallooking appearance. Once dry, wrap artificial garland with pinecones around the bottle’s neck or let the garland cascade down the bottle.

Place pine tree-scented white taper candles in the bottle openings, light and enjoy for a fresh look and smell that will stimulate your senses well into 2014.

Color works wonders Another easy way to excite the senses during a drab, gray winter is with pops of color. For a decorative display that lasts all season, avoid the red and green color combination associated with Christmas and

branch out with more contemporary choices like teals, blues, purples and pinks. Metallics like silver and gold are also a great way to glitz up the season without looking like the North Pole in overdrive. Try Krylon’s ColorMaster Metallic in Gold to spice up old ornaments, vases, frames, centerpieces and more in no time at all. Group spray-painted ornaments or pine cones in a hurricane vase or glass bowl and display on the mantel for added ambiance to any living room.

Deck the halls Looking for a way to display the abundance of holiday cards from friends and family? Repurpose an old window shutter to create a unique display. Start by spray painting it with a festive shade, such as green or burgundy, which adds a touch of holiday spirit. Once dry, hang the shutter in the kitchen or entryway and place holiday cards in the slats of the shutter for a creative way to stay organized. Once the holidays have passed, you can still use the shutter to display birthday cards, thank you notes, party invitations and more all year long.

Outdoor decor The inside of the home isn’t the only space you can be creative.

Make a lasting statement before houseguests even step inside your home by focusing decorative attention to the outside. Line walkways and driveways with lights or faux miniature pine trees, and place white flameless candlesticks on each windowsill to add a simple touch of holiday spirit without going overboard. Prop a vintage snow sled outside the front door to welcome guests.

So, this year instead of the same decorations, consider some fun and easy ways to re-beautify them into pieces that you’ll be proud to display throughout the winter season. For more product or project ideas, visit www.krylon.com.

Six must-have travel apps

This fall, you have a choice of great travel apps that can help make your getaways a breeze, from booking a flight or renting a car while on the road to finding a bathroom during a busy day of sightseeing. For readers in the throes of booking their fall adventures, we’ve rounded up six of the most useful go-to apps for savvy travelers. Bonus: They all just so happen to be free. * WhatsApp (iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone) - Now there’s almost no excuse not to stay in touch with mom during your travels.

WhatsApp uses your smartphone’s data plan or a Wi-Fi connection to let you message with family and friends around the world for free. On your next vacation, use the app to organize group chats, or send audio, photo or video messages. It’s now one of the most downloaded apps in the world. Moms, you’re welcome. * Orbitz Flights, Hotels, Cars (iOS, Android, Kindle Fire) - There’s no shortage of booking apps out there, but leading travel site Orbitz.com’s revamped version is so speedy and user friendly that it’s just one of 48 apps to earn a spot in the Apple App Store’s coveted Hall of Fame. This app lets you accomplish everything you would expect - book flights, hotels, cars and packages - but a big bonus is that it also treats users to mobile-exclusive deals on hotels. Other selling points include access to your Orbitz.com account preferences, and up-to-date flight and gate info. Just think of this hall of famer as the Willie Mays of travel apps. * TripWhat (iOS) - Once you’ve got your flight and hotel details sorted, you can focus on the fun side of travel - figuring out which sights to see, where to dine and what sort of entertainment’s happening nearby.

TripWhat helps you sort through and Page 16

map out the options with detailed listings uploaded from other sites such as WikiVoyage, SeatGeek, Google Maps, Yelp and Last.fm, among others. You’ll never have to ask, “So, what do we do now?” * SitOrSquat (iOS, Android) - In certain cities - we’re looking at you New York - finding a clean public bathroom in the middle of a long day of sightseeing can put you in a real pinch. The SitOrSquat app, sponsored by Charmin, not only helps you find a local public potty, but also includes user reviews that inform you of their condition, as indicated by “Sit” or “Squat” icons.

This app’s an especially great pick for families with small kids whose bathroom emergencies tend to spring up at the most inopportune times. * Field trip (iOS, Android) - What’s the fastest way to really get to know a city while traveling? Have a well-informed local show you.

Consider Google’s FieldTrip your friend in town, guiding you to the best off-the-beaten-path sights, shops, restaurants and hidden histories.

Just stroll around the city you’re exploring and watch as the hyperlocal, customizable geo-publishing tool populates your screen - no clicking required - with interesting tidbits such as a recommended dish at a nearby restaurant or a free concert happening nearby. * RoadAhead Highway Exit Finder (iOS)-- Don’t play rest-stop roulette when it comes to stopping for food, gas or bathrooms while on the road.

On your next trip, plan your stops smarter with RoadAhead, an app that helps you find the best highway exit for all your travel needs - gas prices, dining options, lodging, distance from exit and other useful info included.

You’ll never again have to whiteknuckle your way along an unknown number of miles to the next station.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

FAMILY FEATURES

T

he highlight of many a holiday meal, desserts are adored by young and old alike. This year, complete your festive celebration with delightful desserts that feature California Dried Figs.

Naturally sweet and available year round, figs easily add a touch of elegance to a variety of recipes. Dark purple Mission Figs have a soft, thin skin with a sweet, fruity taste, while Golden Figs are amber-colored with a firmer skin, welldeveloped seeds and a slightly nutty flavor. Both are interchangeable in most recipes.

Keeping holiday traditions California Dried Figs are the perfect ingredient to star in your holiday recipes, especially for Hanukkah and Christmas. Sliced and simmered with fresh lemon and honey and spooned over cheesecake or chopped and combined with a little hazelnut liqueur and caramel for a luscious bottom layer, figs add a stunning fruit accent to popular cheesecake desserts. No matter what you are celebrating, your family will love these “figgy” recipes.

Besides the sweetness that figs bring to the table, California Dried Figs are a healthy ingredient rich in dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and such essential minerals as potassium, iron and calcium.
