5 tips to make the holidays magical, not stressful
It’s the most wonderful time of the year; if only you had a moment to enjoy it. While there are plenty of reasons to cherish the holidays, there are also an overwhelming number of things to do, people to see, gifts to buy, appointments to make and trips to take. All that combined can make your day-to-day stressful, even during this special season. To spark magic back into the holidays, you need to cut the stress - or at least limit it - and to help do that, here are five tips to simplify your daily routine so you can relax and truly make the most of your holidays. * Enjoy a cup of tea. With the constant “go go go” mentality of the holiday season, you may be inclined to reach for coffee; however, researchers have found many relaxing benefits from drinking tea - whether it’s black, green or chamomile. When you do decide to break for a glass of tea, shut out all other distractions and treat yourself to a little quiet time. Even a quick five minute break can leave you feeling reenergized. * Connect digitally. Can’t make
it to every holiday party and get together? Don’t stress! Though you may not get to visit everyone in person, you can use the Internet to connect with loved ones. Consider creating a family hashtag like #HolidaysWithTheJoneses to keep track of posts and photos from the festivities. A reliable, affordable connection to friends and loved ones is important, especially during the pricey holiday season. With so many phone plans and choices, you get nationwide coverage on the largest and most dependable networks in America, so you can stay in touch no matter where you are. * Step outside. Yes, it’s cold, but with shorter days and longer nights, soaking up as much daylight as possible will help stave off the winter blues. It’s good for both mind and body, especially during the busy holidays. Once you’re outside, use this opportunity to spend some quality time with the family by building a snowman or staging an impromptu snowball fight. When you’re focused on having fun together, you’ll remember what
makes the holidays special. * Turn on some tunes. Whether you’re a Christmas carol die-hard or a musical Scrooge, music has an undeniable effect on your mood. Spin your favorite songs to help you get through shopping, travel, gift wrapping and more with a smile on your face. You’ll be dancing to a new beat and those errands will seem a lot merrier. * Take some time for yourself. It’s better to give than to receive, but
make sure to take some time to give yourself a relaxing treat during the holidays. Enjoy the calming effects of yoga, go to the gym or hit the spa. Taking a step back to focus on yourself makes you feel great and reduces your stress level. The holidays can be hectic, but it is also a wonderful time to reconnect with friends and family to celebrate the season. These simple stressreducing techniques can help you make the holidays truly wonderful.

Quick, simple holiday entertaining tricks
The holidays are that special time of year when we open our homes and welcome guests from far and wide. It is a chance for us to connect with old friends and family we may not have seen since the previous holiday season. If you’ll be hosting holiday guests this year, you know there are plenty of preparations to be made. While the main course and the sleeping arrangements may require some additional thought, you don’t need to get bogged down in the decorations. Follow these tips to create a beautiful holiday motif in just a matter of moments.
* Dress up the curtains. Wrapping paper and Christmas print ribbon only appear once a year, so when they do make the most of them. Use some of that print ribbon and wrap it around your curtains to make festive, holiday bows. This will bring your furnishings into the holiday spirit and give the room a more complete look. * Serve a festive snack. The main course may be extravagant, but there’s no reason the snacks have to be laborious. This year, offer your guests Wheat Thins Holiday snacks. These better-for-you hexagon-shaped snacks feature festive imprints,
including snowflakes, a gingerbread man, a bell and a candy cane. Plate them on a holiday platter and serve them with a garlic dip, a spinach artichoke dip or another of your own creation for a fun, unique snack. Share your entertaining ideas for Wheat Thins Holiday snacks on Twitter @ WheatThins. * Dress up your house plants. Why should the tree get all the attention? If you have plants in your home, decorate them with festive ornaments of their own. * Create a sparkling centerpiece. A centerpiece doesn’t have to be a large, dramatic thing. For a simple, yet elegant centerpiece, place vintage ornaments on a cake stand and surround them with holly leaves or evergreen twigs. * Place your wishes in a wreath. Create a touching piece that will engage and entertain your guests. Hang an unadorned twig wreath from a wall. Then supply your guests with small, blank cards and markers to write on and ask them to write a message about the season or the upcoming year on the card before adding it to the wreath. Your guests will enjoy creating their own messages as well as reading the messages of their fellow event attendees. * Create decorations from candy. If you’re looking for simple decorations to adorn your house with, fill tall, slim drinking glasses with candy canes for a festive, yet elegant appearance. Tie a red ribbon around each glass to complete the look. Preparing your home for that holiday gettogether doesn’t have to mean hours of decorating. With these simple tips you’ll be able to showcase your Christmas spirit and spend your newly-found free time enjoying the season.

There’s a reason the holidays are called the most wonderful time of the year - it’s an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones over delicious food and shared traditions. But hosting the holidays can be hectic if you don’t properly prepare. Is there enough food? What if the turkey is undercooked? Do the table decorations look OK? We’ve all been there. This year, keep your holiday gathering fun, not frantic, with these holiday hassle-free hosting tips. Prepare a game plan. Developing a checklist will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed with to-do’s. For example, once the invitations have been extended, plan the menu, and gather recipes and a grocery list. Take inventory of your cooking supplies, serving dishes and tableware. While cleaning the house, identify what decorations are needed. Set the table. While last-minute jobs are bound to happen, conquering the planned details ahead of time will help
keep you sane. Keep the menu simple. From appetizers to desserts, determine what dishes on the menu can be homemade, made ahead of time or store-bought, and how guests can contribute. Figure out what is actually feasible for your meal - it’s OK if you can’t make everything from scratch. If you’ve never made homemade pie, there is no reason to put your culinary skills to the test the night before. By prioritizing your menu and asking for help, it will alleviate unnecessary stress and allow you to enjoy the event. Ditch the pile of dirty dishes in favor of disposable tableware. Instead of standing over the sink cleaning, spend the extra time celebrating with family and friends. Make sure to choose products that can stand up to heavy foods, such as mashed potatoes and gravy or cranberry sauce. Try using eco-friendly products, such as Chinet(R) Classic White(TM) plates and bowls. They are made from
recycled material and biodegradable in home composting - leaving you to only feel guilty about that second helping of green bean casserole. And if your guests are known to be animated, opt for disposable wine glasses such as Chinet Cut Crystal(R) wine glass. It will hold up the event’s style without sacrificing your favorite stemware. Deck the dinner table with a napkin fold. A napkin fold is a pretty and practical way to add personality to the dinner table. While some napkin folds can be intricate and time-consuming, choose unique designs such as festive trees and poinsettias that can be completed in a matter of minutes. Create your own picture-perfect holiday. Incorporate meaningful touches throughout the table, such as photo centerpieces, heirloom linens and favorite greenery. These are easy ways to stimulate conversation and storytelling during dinner.

6 foolproof ideas for everyone on your holiday gift list
Giving gifts can be one of the biggest stressors during the holidays. Store after store, website after website, you try to find the perfect something for everyone on your list. Seeing the smiles on the faces of your loved ones as they open their presents is one of the best feelings in the world, but it doesn’t have to come at the cost of your sanity. With every holiday season comes a lineup of must-have items everyone has on their wish list. Save yourself some time and effort this year by paying attention to the top trends and
brands that will ensure you give gifts your family and friends will truly love. For the fashionista: Luxury handbags and shoes Any woman on your list would be thrilled to discover a high-end handbag or pair of shoes under the tree. Made of quality leather and sturdy materials, an extravagant handbag or pair of fashionable boots will last and she’ll be able to cherish them for years. Check out her Pinterest boards to find out what style and size she might be looking for. Then, search sites to find brands such as Coach and Frye, which offer a wide variety of wallets, handbags, boots and shoes fit for any lifestyle and a range of budgets. For cold weather climates: Toasty shoes and boots Winter is here and the temperature is only going to drop further. Make sure you gift your loved ones with the latest in cold weather fashion. For both women and men, warm and cozy Ugg boots are a statement piece they’ll love having in their shoe collection. For the outdoorsy person on your list: Stylish, cozy outerwear Enchant your friend or family member with something special for their closet, like a lavish winter coat or warm fleece jacket.

been eyeing a vest from The North Face all year? This is the perfect opportunity for you to bring joy and happiness to their holiday celebration and beyond.

You’ll be able to find sets in all different price ranges, so there’s no need to break your budget. Plaid is everywhere you look these days. From blanket scarves to Oxford shirts, plaid is a winter staple for both men and women. Show your loved ones how up to date you are on fashion trends when you give them gifts they’ll never want to return. Look for plaid vests, bags, socks, shoes, hair accessories and even cell phone cases.
For the kids: Fun and colorful shoes When your kids are constantly growing, a new pair of shoes becomes a standard holiday gift. Let them stand out with shoes that will show off their individual style. Brands like Crocs carry shoes in almost every color imaginable along with many different styles and fun add-ons, so you’ll be able to find something to fit every child on your list. Let this holiday guide help you overcome the challenge of finding the gifts each and every person on your list will love.
Quick and easy meal solutions for holiday entertaining The hectic holidays can mean hurried cooks, frantic trips to the grocery store and chaotic menu planning. But it doesn’t have to - with some tried and true solutions for easy entertaining, you can reduce your stress and set up a holiday party guaranteed to impress guests from near or far. Don’t let cooking and entertaining dim your holiday spirit. Follow these simple tips for making your next holiday meal as easy to plan as it is delicious: Appetizers - Modern cheese plates are far from boring and are a simple way to add a gourmet touch to your event. Remember to balance tastes, textures and visual appeal to create a memorable cheese plate. A good rule of thumb: include three cheeses with different flavor profiles, such as a soft brie, a sharp cheddar and a crumbly blue like Stella blue cheese. Fondue - Add an interactive twist to your favorite holiday fare with fondue. Fondue is a fun way to kick off a meal with a variety of appetizer options. Or make it a full meal experience, with multiple courses incorporating fondue as the common element. Buy or rent fondue pots and set up tables or stations with different themes. Cheese fondue is perfect for veggies, fruit and breads. Rich broth-based fondues are great for main courses like meats and seafood. Chocolate, Page 6
of course, is ideal for dessert when paired with berries, brownies and marshmallows. Potluck - The holidays are all about bringing people together, and what better way than to host a potluckstyle meal where everyone brings a favorite dish to share? The host typically handles the main entree, and then the guests can bring dishes to complement the meal. Ask attendees if they have something in mind, or if they are unsure, assign particular items to ensure your meal is covered. It’s a great way to introduce everyone to new recipes. Reinvent classic dishes - Think your guests are bored with the same foods year after year? Unlikely, but if you want to add pizzazz to your cooking, you can do so while staying true to the classic recipes you love. Traditional holiday dishes - like mashed potatoes and salads - can be updated in seconds with cheese. Few things can’t benefit from a quick sprinkle of Stella Parmesan, which you can pick up at your local grocery store. Another option is to add a dash of herbs to help bring out the natural flavors of your foods; fresh herbs like rosemary and mint or pantry staples like cinnamon and nutmeg bring bold new flavor to your dishes. Pairings party - Let your inner foodie shine and impress your friends with a holiday pairings party. Select
The San Clemente News
items that are easy to prepare and pair with complementing drinks. For example, Champagne pairs great with delicate cheeses like brie, ale beers pair nicely with richly flavored cheeses like gorgonzola, and medium-bodied red wines pair well with hard Italian-style cheeses like Asiago. Label pairings appropriately so guest can congregate around the buffet table and sample at will. Their taste buds will dance and the food discussions will be plentiful. Try these two tasty and simple recipes at your next holiday party: European Stella Cheese Fondue Serves four Ingredients: 1 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio15 ounce (3 containers) Stella 3 cheese European Blends1 tablespoon cornstarch-1 tablespoon kirsch or brandy (optional)1/4 teaspoon salt1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Directions: Bring wine to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan.- Toss together cheese and cornstarch in a medium bowl.- Add 1/4 of cheese mixture to simmering wine, stirring constantly until melted.- Continue adding cheese and stirring constantly until all cheese is melted and simmers gently.- Stir in kirsch, if desired, and salt and
nutmeg.- Transfer mixture to a fondue pot set over a fondue burner or heating element. Serve assorted dippers with long forks for dipping. Stir warm fondue often to prevent scorching. Stella Romano Cheese Cheesy Mashed Potatoes Serves four Ingredients: 4 medium red potatoes, with or without skins4 ounce Stella Romano cheese1/3 cup skim milk4 tablespoon butter, softened2 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley1 teaspoon salt Directions: Put potatoes in large pot and cover.

‘Tis the season to see if your tread’s been bad or good The holidays are here again, and so is running, driving - around for things. Rushing to parties, picking up family at the airport, preparing dinners, and, of course, shopping. Whether it’s fighting for parking spaces at the mall or traveling over the river and through the woods, don’t overlook the four round pieces of rubber that are responsible for safely getting you from point A to point B - your tires. “People have a lot of to-do’s on their checklist during the holidays, but one thing they tend to forget is to check on the condition of their tires,” says Dan Guiney, director of technical services for Yokohama Tire Corp., maker of a variety of truck and car tires. “It’s something every driver should do.” “Tires must be replaced for traction considerations depending on anticipated roadway and weather driving conditions and by Federal regulation when the tread is worn to 2/32 of an inch groove depth
remaining. You want to prevent loss of traction which may result in skidding and hydroplaning,” says Guiney.” It’s hard to visualize what that acceptable tread depth looks like, so place a penny upside down into a tread groove. If the top part of Lincoln’s head is just starting to be covered, you’re driving with the very minimum amount of tread depth, 2/32nds. If driving conditions will be wet or snowy you may want to purchase new tires before the minimum levels to maximize traction performance. If heavy snow or ice is anticipated, winter tires are an excellent choice because they can provide considerably more winter traction than all-season tires. And because your all-season tires are taking a “winter vacation,” they’ll last longer. “Tire technology has come a very long way, resulting in tires that last longer and are more fuel efficient,” says Guiney. However, drivers still
have the responsibility to check their tires regularly to get the optimum performance out of them.” For the holiday season or the daily commute, driving smartly and maintaining your tires can save money at the gas station. Here are some of Guiney’s tips: * Keep your tires properly inflated. Once a month, when the tires are cold (at least three to four hours after the vehicle has been driven), check tire pressure with a reliable tire gauge. Be
sure the valve stems have a plastic or metal cap to keep dirt out and seal against water and foreign objects. * Slow down. All vehicles lose fuel economy at speeds above 55 mph. Driving 55 mph instead of 75 mph can reduce fuel costs up to 25 percent. Driving 65 mph instead of 75 mph can save up to 13 percent. * Tire alignment should be checked once a year. Misaligned tires lower mileage and creates unnecessary tire wear.

Out of gift ideas? Surprise loved ones with meaningful gifts they’ll adore Exchanging gifts is a cherished part of the holiday season, but after celebrating for so many years with your loved ones, it’s easy to get in a gift-giving rut. Resist defaulting to the same old robe, coffee mug or tie. This year, make their holiday extra merry with thoughtful gift ideas they’ll truly love. Great gift idea #1: A beloved book In the age of emails and ebooks, flipping through the paper pages of a book can quickly evoke memories of the past. The gift of a book can have great meaning when thoughtfully selected. For example, find an early edition or signed copy of your loved one’s favorite literary work. Another great idea is to gift a favorite picture book from childhood, or one she often read to her children before bed. Great gift idea #2: Framed photography: A picture is worth a thousand words, but having that picture professionally framed means you’ll leave your loved one speechless. It may seem like a lot of work to find just the right frame, but companies like Livestock Framing offer an all-inclusive service that
makes the process simple. Visit www. LivestockFraming.com, upload your photo and choose from four frame colors and six different sizes. They’ll ship a museum-quality print, carefully matted and framed by artisans in Portland, Oregon, directly to you or the recipient. They’ll even touch-up the photo and ship it for free. In just a couple steps you’ll create a gift that will be loved today and for many years to come. Great gift idea #3: An experience Time together is one of the most valuable things you can give someone, so consider gifting an experience for you and your loved one to do together. This could be a cooking class, tickets to a sporting event, a hot air balloon ride or a luxury spa weekend. Another fun experiential present would be to recreate something meaningful you did in the past. Perhaps plan a day to revisit where you got engaged or organize a trip to a favorite childhood vacation spot. Think about any special activity or place of meaning and surprise your loved one with a day to go have fun.
Great gift idea #4: Muchappreciated services Finding a gift for a person who seems to have it all can feel daunting. In these cases it’s time to think outside the gift box and consider unique services that would make their life a little easier or more luxurious. For example, how about a top-to-bottom house cleaning from a local maid service? Meal delivery is fantastic for busy parents and career go-getters. From hiring a personal shopper to getting a nanny for a much-needed evening out, a gifted service is sure to make a big impression this holiday season and beyond.
Great gift idea #5: Modern “of the month” clubs It’s fun to gift something the recipient can enjoy throughout the year, and monthly membership clubs can be a fantastic gift. Skip the jam and jelly club in lieu of sophisticated modern alternatives. Memberships exist for virtually anything you can imagine, from weekly wine and flower deliveries to exotic desserts and upscale makeup supplies. Think about what your loved one enjoys and search online for the perfect club membership. Every delivery throughout the year they’ll be reminded of your thoughtful gesture.
A New Way to Play Tech toys inspire imagination and action In today’s electronic-driven digital age, kids are defining a new way to play. As the market for toys boasting the latest in technology continues to grow, companies have become increasingly innovative to deliver toys that tick the tech checkbox for kids, while satisfying parents who want options that inspire the imagination and encourage active play. A new study commissioned by Disney reveals that parents feel nostalgia for the way they used to play growing up and that they also have a desire to keep their kids active. The online study of 2,000 families across the country shows that while almost all parents believe in the power of active and creative play, they believe technology is also an important part of growing up today. In fact, 9 out of 10 parents are open to new technology that could play a role in keeping their child active. Imagination becomes real The latest evolution of technology play is now on hand to help meet the needs of both kids and parents by bringing digital experiences into the real world. A new category of play, Disney’s Playmation inspires Page 8
kids to run around and use their imaginations, but with a digital twist. The system of connected toys and wearables combines digital and physical play to put kids in the center of the action where they can actually become the hero or heroine of their favorite Disney stories. The first system, Playmation Marvel’s Avengers, lets kids join on missions and adventures throughout the Marvel Universe. Purposely not tethered to an internet connection, Playmation Marvel’s Avengers allows kids to play anywhere they want - a bedroom, living room or yard. Kids can also login to an app to see progress, explore new locations and characters and unlock new missions. The starter pack, which includes a Repulsor Gear that connects to the Power Activators and two Smart Figures, is now available for pre-order at www.Playmation.com before hitting shelves this fall. Throwbacks with a thrill Another win-win strategy: Putting a fresh technology spin on old favorites to make them hip once more. Take the old-school game of tag, for example. With the addition of infrared
The San Clemente News
devices, targets and impressive audio, laser tag adds new thrill to an old-school game making it relevant for today’s tech-hungry kids. Systems appropriate for home use are plenty, but most major cities also boast indoor arenas and outdoor ranges for larger scale play. A far cry from the traditional chase and touch game parents recall, nonetheless, it’s a marriage of tech and toy that gets kids moving. Art goes electronic When it comes to letting creative imagination run free, there’s a world of high-tech art for kids to explore.
Back-lit tracing pads, projectors for wall-size artistry and vibrantly colored screens all seem a far cry from yesteryear’s drawing tablets and big box of crayons (with a sharpener built in, if you were extra lucky). Yet despite the digital approach, at the core these toys inspire the same artistic expression as their tech-free predecessors. Although technology-enabled toys and devices top most kids’ wish lists, a growing number of these options are designed to pique the imagination and inspire kids to set their physical and creative expression free.

Simple Ways to Give Back The true spirit of the holiday season is giving back to those in need, and there are many ways to get involved in your local community to make a difference. Best of all, the holidays serve as a great time to teach children about the importance of giving back and how far small acts of kindness can go. To get started, here are some ideas that are easy to put into action this year: Give Back By Writing a Letter As part of Macy’s annual Believe campaign, you can bring stamped letters to Santa to your local store and drop them in the big red letterbox, or send a letter to Santa digitally through macys.com/believe. For each letter collected in stores and online until Dec. 24, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The retailer has raised $90 million for Make-A-Wish since 2003, with $10.8 million donated over the last seven years through the iconic letter writing campaign. Dedicate an afternoon to writing letters and then make a family trip to the store to drop them off.
Give Back By Starting a New Tradition Generosity comes in many forms and there are numerous ways to embrace the season of giving. Start by taking a family poll of what give back projects you’d like to get involved in this holiday. From there, you can do research to find out what existing events and initiatives are happening in your community that match your interest areas. Activities could include adopting a family to fulfill wish lists, making cards for hospital patients, participating in clothing drives, volunteering at an animal shelter or taking part in random acts of kindness, such as delivering a care package to an elderly neighbor. Give Back By Playing Interactive Games This year, a new element launches as part of the Believe campaign – the Wish Writer stylus and app. Available at Macy’s stores and online, the stylus is a new way for children to play interactive games and write magical letters to Santa. Designed to teach children about kindness and generosity during the holiday
season, Wish Writer users can play a series of games and earn rewards for good deeds. In true giving spirit, $1 from each stylus purchase (retail $14.99) will benefit Make-A-Wish. The stylus will also come to life in a heartwarming film featuring a little girl and her brother as they discover how
a little kindness during the holiday season can go a long way. Above all, the holidays are a time to reflect, help others and give thanks. To learn more about Macy’s Believe campaign and watch the Wish Writer film, visit macys.com/believe.

Empowering Kids to Change the World, Team Kids Raise $160,000! The third annual “Team Kids Innovative Thinkers Forum,” held at Oakley’s iconic Headquarters broke Team Kids’ all-time fundraising records and created the buzz of a Hollywood movie premiere. Fueled by high-profile executives from NASA, Oakley and Ekso Bionics and two-time Academy Award nominated actor/producer Jeremy Renner, Team Kids welcomed 400 guests and raised more $160,000 in funds to support its mission to empower children to change the world. Excitement peaked with a monumental Hollywood-style entrance as Jeremy Renner barreled up Oakley’s grand entrance in an Orange County Sheriff’s Humvee. Panelists also arrived in a second Humvee, which was flanked by an Orange County Fire Authority Engine and deputies on motorcycles. The dramatic arrival, with lights and sirens blaring, was set to the recognizably thrilling score of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, one of Mr. Renner’s latest top-grossing films. While guests awaited the arrival of the special VIPs, they gathered for an Innovation Expo featuring international award-winning STEM project from Dana Point Elementary School’s Robotechs and UC Irvine’s ANTrepreneur’s products designed to tackle pressing social issues. After an executive business mixer, guests headed into Oakley’s auditorium, where they were treated to a rare experience. Joe Burke, Event Chair, emcee and Team Kids’ Fund Development and Marketing Chair, led in sixty third-graders, who sat cross-legged on the floors and up the aisles of the theater. Jeremy Renner took the stage, bringing children up with him oneby-one to field their impromptu questions, which ranged from gaging his archery skills to asking what leadership means to him. Mr. Renner was then joined by ingenious global leaders – Colin Baden, Chief Innovation Product Officer of Oakley; Jeanne Holm, Chief Knowledge Architect of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Nathan Harding, Co-Founder and CEO of Ekso Bionics. Led by moderator and Team Kids Board Member Dan Lubeck, the four panelists discussed their respective paths to innovation and answered personal questions, including their pivotal moments in life and greatest failures, and left the audience with the gift of their pearls of wisdom. “Innovation is invention that changes the world,” said Jeremy Renner, “There is no greater place to spark innovation than from the dreams of our nation’s kids. I love the work Team Kids has done for over 15 years and their partnerships with police, firefighters and educators.” The purpose of the night was to celebrate innovation and, aligned with Team Kids’ mission of youth empowerment, to inspire our next generation of leaders to be kind, fearless, problem solvers who think outside the box. “Tonight was about bringing heroes together: our police, firefighters, The Avengers’ Hawkeye, and some of the most brilliant minds in the universe,” says Team Kids’ Founder and CEO Julie Hudash. “But the adults were also incredibly inspired by our kids, who reminded us that they too are heroes, and also the most powerful and renewable resource in the world!” Team Kids’ mission is to empower children to change the world by motivating them to become compassionate leaders, entrepreneurs and philanthropists. Team Kids’ programs are delivered in public schools in cities in Orange, Los Angeles and Arlington, VA Counties. The 5-week, schoolbased Team Kids Challenge Program is receiving national attention thanks to a truly innovative community collaboration of partners and youth stakeholders from education, law enforcement, fire service and local business.

Pork Crown Roast with Garlic Herb Rub Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 2 hours, 30 minutes Total time: 3 hours Serves: 12-16 1/4 cup kosher salt 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper 1/3 cup fresh garlic, peeled and finely diced 1/4 cup thyme, leaves removed from stem and coarsely chopped 1/4 cup rosemary, leaves removed from stem and coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons sage, leaves removed from stem and coarsely chopped 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 pounds baby red potatoes, halved 1 pound fresh pearl onions, peeled and halved 1 Omaha Steaks Pork Crown Roast
Thaw roast completely and remove plastic packaging. Heat oven to 350 F. Prepare rub by combining salt, pepper, garlic, herbs and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Mix 2 tablespoons of rub with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss with potatoes and onions. Liberally rub all sides of roast with remaining rub, including in between bones. Put any excess rub on top. Place roast on foil lined sheet pan and spread potatoes and onions around sides of roast. Cook on center rack of oven for approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to 2 hours and 35 minutes for a 9-pound roast, or until internal temperature reaches 145 F in the middle. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting away string and slicing between bones for 16 even portions. Serve with roasted red potatoes and pearl onions in natural au jus.
Apricot Ham Glaze
Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Total time: 15 Serves: 6-8 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon corn starch 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 cup canned apricot nectar In small saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn starch and ginger.

Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Total time: 15 minutes Serves: 10-12 1 can (16 ounces) cranberry sauce 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 teaspoon cloves, ground 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground 1/4 teaspoon all spice Place all ingredients in small sauce pan over low heat.

Insert ovenproof meat thermometer into thickest part of roast, not resting in fat; center roast on salt layer. Starting at base of roast, pack remaining salt mixture onto sides and top to encase in salt. (Some salt mixture may fall off, exposing small areas of the roast. This will not affect cooking.)

Transfer pan with roast to cooling rack; let stand uncovered 15 minutes. Remove and discard salt crust from roast, brushing off any remaining salt. Carve and serve.
How to Handle Frozen Meat
Working with frozen meat from a quality supplier not only ensures top-notch quality for your holiday dinner, it adds convenience during a busy time of year. Follow this advice from the experts at Omaha Steaks to handle your frozen meats with care. n
For meats that have been vacuum sealed in plastic wrap, store in a freezer for up to three months.
n
For best results, thaw in the refrigerator to allow for juicier, more flavorful steaks. Always leave the wrapper on while thawing. Use these approximate guidelines for thawing in a refrigerator set to 36-40 F: Large roast 4 to 7 hours per pound Small roast 3 to 5 hours per pound Steak (1-inch) 12 to 14 hours Whole turkey 1 day per 4 to 5 pounds Poultry parts 1 day per 1 to 2 pounds
n
For quick, safe thawing place meat in cold water while still in its wrapper.

5 tips for staying happy and healthy during the holidays It’s not easy to stay healthy during the holidays. Sweets seem to appear everywhere you go, and with all the present-wrapping and card-writing, there’s not much time to devote to your health and well-being. Luckily, Hermey the Elf, best known for his adventures with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, joined forces with the American Dental Association (ADA) to come up with tips for keeping your mouth and teeth healthy during the holidays. In the classic holiday TV special, Hermey dreamt of becoming a dentist and helping people keep their teeth healthy. In 2014, the ADA awarded Hermey with a Dental Do Gooder (DDG) for his passion for dentistry. This year, Hermey and the ADA came up with the following tips to help families keep their smiles in tip-top shape. Have a routine. Hermey always brushes his teeth two times a day, for two minutes, and you should too! It’s what keeps your mouth healthy in December and all year long. Make sure to use a fluoride toothpaste that has earned the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Choose the carrots. Cookies and sweets are nice holiday treats, but instead of reaching for another candy cane, take a cue from Rudolph and eat the carrots. Don’t forget the dentist! The holidays can be a busy time, but that doesn’t mean you can forget about your teeth. If you are due for a teeth cleaning or need work done, don’t forget to visit your dentist in December. Drink water. You need a lot of energy for holiday activities, but avoid drinking sodas, sports drinks and juices with lots of sugar. Instead, drink water with fluoride in it to keep your teeth strong and healthy. Protect your teeth. Wear a mouthguard whenever you play sports - or reindeer games - this winter. More advice from the ADA and Hermey the Elf, D.D.G., can be found on MouthHealthyKids.org/ Hermey.

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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 003261-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 Publish: 12/4/2015, 12/11/2015, 12/18/2015
