U.S. 1 is taking on a more progressive look Hallandale ArtSquare and Atlantic Village projects have elevated the landscape

Atlantic Village is a mixed-use complex, which is already starting to take shape, will offer residential, office and commercial retail located at the southwest quadrant at 801 North Federal Highway (US 1) and Atlantic Shores Boulevard. Hallandale ArtSquare is down the block.

By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com While Hallandale Beach has made some major strides in the look and feel of the City over

the past few years, there are a few game-changers taking place along U.S. 1 that will put this community at another level.

Because this part of the City is one of the most traveled - with major destinations such as Gulfstream Park & Casino - and Mardi Gras

Racing & Gaming - bringing in so many visitors and residents alike there has been a need to get much of this legendary road up to date,

and with two projects under way, there is reason to smile.

With Hallandale ArtSquare and Atlantic Village starting to take

shape along U.S. 1, north of Hallandale Beach Blvd., the landscape of this area, that has never been anything more than a pass through to Fort Lauderdale to the north - and Miami to the south - is part of the progression of Hallandale Beach.

“I am truly excited this much needed new housing is coming to our community,” said Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper. “It will provide a catalyst for the revitalization of both the NE Federal Commercial Corridor and Fashion and Art District.”

Are you tired of the pain and the embarrassment of dentures and plastic teeth that fall out and break? Replace your loose dentures with a beautiful hybrid bridge, teeth that stay in place and won’t fall out!

Fixed bridges are cemented or screwed to the implants and cannot be removed by you. Unlike dentures that have pink acrylic and plastic teeth, fixed bridges are porcelain fused to metal or monolithic zirconia such as the dental implant bridge.

You will not have anything touching the roof of your mouth going over your gums with a fixed bridge.

The teeth “emerge” from the gums and are not plastic like dentures.

Some fixed bridges have a gold substructure unBobadilla, Page 3A

Ask Dr. Ron: ‘Seasonal Affective Disorder’ Symptoms of SAD include apathetic behavior, weight-gain, a loss of interest in pleasurable activities Dr. Ron.. Every year my son & daughter-in-law come and spend the winter months with us. He claims he needs to do this because he suffers from a form of depression that affect people specifically during this time of the year. To be honest, although my husband and I love our son, it puts a great deal of burden on us to put him up for so long in our one bedroom apartment. Is all this true about people who suffer from depression during the winter months.., or is he just looking for a free vacation?

It is possible that your son suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). For reasons that are not yet clearly understood, some people suffer from depressed episodes primarily in the late autumn and winter months. Geographically, incidences of SAD are more likely to increase in areas that are further north of the equator. So while fewer incidences of SAD are reported in our state, much more reports of this problem are noted in northern continental states and Alaska. The lessening of sunshine and sunlight hours during these months is believed to be the primary cause of SAD. Symptoms of SAD include apathetic behavior, weight-gain, a loss of interest in pleasurable activities (including sex), and disturbances in social and work activities. Episodes rescind as the earth receives more sunshine, and heats up during the upcoming spring and summer months.

Treatment for SAD includes the daily use of light therapy which involves sitting in front of bright fluorescent lights for 1-2 hours per day. Results have shown many people obtain relief from this treatment, while some report little or no benefits. Another option, as in the case of your son, is to spend the winter months in locations more south of the equator, like Florida, but of course, this is not a viable option for most.

As far as whether your son truly has SAD, or whether he just looks forward to a 4 month yearly vacation…, well that’s difficult to determine based upon the information you’ve given… I’d be curious to know how it is that your son can just pick up and leave his work and other responsibilities every year. If it is so easy for him to do so, why doesn’t he just doesn’t move here on a permanent basis..? In any case a one bedroom apartment is a small space for 4 adults to live in. Without invalidating his claim of SAD, you can still talk to him about different arrangements he can make when he & his wife come down for the winter.

Happy Thanksgiving to all..

The important thing is not how intelligent you are but how you use it.

Only one who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible.

Amen ! the teeth makes all the difference when you smile. If you are missing a lot of gum and bone than more pink ceramic will need to be added to give you proper facial lip support.

What is right for you?

It really depends on what you want, your budget, and how much bone you have.

The position of your lips and how much

space you have between your top ad bottom teeth is CRITICAL. This is often overlooked by your average dentist. Your face and lips can end up looking too bulky or caved in if this is not determined in the photographic assessment before anything is done.

You typically need more bone and more implants to make a solid fixed bridge than an

overdenture. Depending on your situation, bone grafting or bone leveling may be necessary.

These are things I can only determine by evaluating you in person, another reason why we encourage you to visit our office in Hallandale, FL. is to further evaluate bone quality and quantity to determine if you are a good candidate for implants. This visit is fully

Hallandale Beach has hit the tech universe with open arms - and plenty of communication skills

By Mayor Joy Cooper Hallandale Beach - Over the past years, our readers know that our City has been keenly focused on technology. We have added many vehicles for our residents to get their information.

HB TV has been enhanced and our Hallandale Happenings thanks to PIO Peter Dobens. We have updated our webpage site. We have “Notify Me” and an email notification system, Facebook and Twitter. I introduced our City to Public Stuff a couple of years ago and we finally have our own Hallandale Beach APP where you can report an issue. You can even take a picture of the problem and send it in.

What I found on election day is that many of our residents are unaware that we have added a new civic engagement tool. Right now, our residents can participate in our meetings without even leaving there home or desk. We have web TV and now as part of our new program Legistar you can link right up to our agendas on-line and e-mail in

your public comments.

Here is how easy the system works.

Our agendas are published a week in advance. If you like, you can sign up for “Notify ME.” You will receive an e-mail with the agenda link and email comment link. The link takes you directly to the information we have so you can read it at you pleasure. You can then comment whether you support or are against an item and write in comments as to why. These comments will be directly read into the record. Please get involved, we need everyone’s input!

During the election, I also had the wonderful opportunity to meet with many of our residents at early voting and on election day. While I was not on the ballot, the Penny Tax was. This tax would have transformed our cities and county. Regretfully, the transportation tax portion passed, but the infrastructure did not. Both needed to pass or both failed. It is a shame that the county put this clause in or today, I would be writing a bit of a different

story.

This tax would have helped us address the cost of our basis of design on the needs of our assessment, for our complete streets and underground improvements. We have over $200 million dollars in projected projects to bring our streets up to today’s standards. The neighborhood roads in our community are funded by our City tax dollars.

We do receive transposition tax dollars from the state and county tax dollars. These limited funds are used for our mini bus. We also receive some shared sales tax revenues from the state that can be used. These funds are also very limited. Over the next years, we must evaluate and work to see how we can pay for our transportation and roadway needs.

Our City at least has the benefit of the CRA. These dollars can be used West of 14th Avenue. CRA funds are also limited for the next 10 years. Over the next budget year for the CRA, we

will need to focus on how and where they can be spent. Currently, the one major project slated for, is the southwest drainage project. Our CRA dollars combined with FEMA dollars will go a long way to ensure this project gets completed.

We are going to need all of our residents to get involved in how the rest of our CRA dollars are spent moving forward. Please get involved and even if you are not happy with the election results, please remain involved.

Please visit our city web-site at: www.cohb.org for more information on all of our meetings and meeting agenda material.

As always please feel free to contact me anytime with your questions concerns and ideas at 954-457-1318 office, cell/text at 954-632-5700 or email me a joy@mayorjoycoper.com. It is important to keep the lines of communication open with all of our residents who are the lifeline of this City!

PAWS Puts Best Fashion Foot Forward Ft. Lauderdale - This year’s Fashion Forward for PAWS, an annual event that benefits the Humane Society of Broward County, was once again a complete sellout, raising more than $38,000 for the animals and giving attendees at Neiman Marcus Fort Lauderdale an afternoon to remember.

Held on October 13 and chaired by Christy Gumberg and Julie Strauch, the event began with a cocktail hour during which guests mingled, visited with adoptable pets, tried their luck at the Chinese auction, and enjoyed mini-makeovers compliments of Yves Saint Laurent. There were also drawings to win wonderful prizes -- Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale Hotel and Private Residences offered a weekend getaway at the Four Seasons Palm Beach; the delighted winner was Rachel McIntyre. And Carmen Hotchkiss was thrilled with her win of a $1,000 Neiman Marcus Fort Lauderdale shopping spree!

Fashion Forward for PAWS showcased the latest fall styles in a fabulous fashion show that portrayed Neiman Marcus Fort Lauderdale at its finest. On the models’ final walk, they were joined by adorable – and adoptable – puppies from the shelter. Three lucky pups found their fur-ever homes that day!

Sponsors for Fashion Forward for PAWS included: Neiman Marcus Fort Lauderdale, Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale Hotel and Private Residences, Christy & Andy Gumberg, Lorraine Thomas, Christine Forman & Margaret Meldeau, ACURE Organics, Tanya & Andrew Heller, Ingrid Poulin & Susan Smith, Jamie & Terry Stiles, Julie Strauch, Shooters Waterfront, Suzie Smith, Kathryn Glenewinkel, Jonelle Milton, Stacy Sager, Tish Flavin, Pam Tindall, Katharine Barry, Sylvia Sperry, Charlotte Rodstrom, Lys & Bill Rubin, LifeStyle Magazine & Michelle Simon, Ann’s Florist, Yves Saint Laurent and Olimpia Hidalgo.

The Humane Society of Broward County is a private non-profit organization made possible by generous donations from animal enthusiasts like you.

Nothing says delicious deli food like TooJay's Classic Corned Beef & Pastrami and a steaming bowl of Matzo Ball Soup.

TooJay’s Brings Its Legendary Deli Tradition to Hallandale Beach

Chipotle Bacon Burger Special to the South Florida Sun Times When people talk about traditional New York delis, mouthwatering images come to mind of overstuffed Reuben sandwiches, hot pastrami and corned beef piled high between fresh slices of rye. Homebaked challah and bagels, latkes, blintzes, chopped chicken liver and matzo ball soup are all part of the restaurant fare typically known as Jewish-style comfort food. In New York, a handful of iconic delis are local symbols of the tradition. In Florida, TooJay’s brings the authentic deli experience to fans beyond the Big Apple.

The time-honored delicatessen tradition is a snapshot of America’s history, tracing its origin to European immigrants, many from Germany, who came to the United States in the late 1800s.

Russian Jews also contributed to the menu, most notably with the mashed potato-stuffed dumpling known as the knish, as did Polish immigrants who brought the bagel to America.

During more than a century of assimilation with American culture, the most successful delis have preserved the popularity of their signature menu and at the same time kept up with changing times.

Such is the case with TooJay’s, which opened in Hallandale earlier this year. The family of almost 30 restaurants around Florida is best known for its hearty serv-

Deli Meat Trio

One of the main attractions of TooJay’s is the display of fresh salads and prepared foods to take home for the family or your next large gathering. ings of homemade comfort foods, handcrafted sandwiches and made from scratch soups, salads, and baked goods.

For guests who prefer lighter choices, the new Small Plates, such as Spring Tomato Cucumber Salad, BLT Deviled Eggs and Roasted Brussels Sprouts Medley, add a contemporary twist to the extensive menu. The restaurant’s famous bakery showcases a tempting selection of freshly baked pastries, ranging from seasonal desserts to famous chocolate Killer Cake, rugalach and all-time favorite mini black and white cookies.

“Hallandale is an exciting, new opportunity for us to serve loyal deli lovers and introduce new generations to the finest deli tradition,” said TooJay’s CEO Chris Artinian.

Founded 35 years ago by Jay Brown and Mark Jay Katzenberg, the two Jays in the brand

name, the first TooJay’s location opened on the Island of Palm Beach.

Today, there are 28 locations across Florida in Palm Beach County, Broward, the Treasure Coast, Florida’s West Coast, the Orlando area, the Villages, the Space Coast and Polk County.

Catering is a significant part of TooJay’s business. For holidays, office gatherings and events of any size, TooJay’s will deliver breakfast buffets, party platters gourmet hors d’oeuvres, dinners and desserts.

Strawberry Cheesecake

How about this hearty Breakfast Combo Platter to start the day off right!

The company is investing in its continued success by updating the look of its older locations and expanding to new markets across the state, with Pembroke Pines slated to open the first half of 2017. In both new and remodeled restaurants, fresh, contemporary décor still preserves the feeling of an authentic New York deli.

The Hallandale TooJay’s, located at 1430 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard, is open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

One of the south Florida favorites when it comes to dessert is the Key Lime Pie. But TooJay’s also features other tasty sweets such as the famous chocolate Killer Cake, rugalach and all-time favorite mini black and white cookies.

Victor de Souza Named 2017 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian 16, 2017 at Dr. MLK Day in the City. Mr. de Souza will be invited to ride in the annual Dr. King parade at 10 a.m., Monday, Jan. 16, and participate in events.

More than 20 residents nominate the retired City employee Victor de Souza is the recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 2017 Humanitarian Award for his dedicated service to the City of Hallandale Beach and the community. The formal award presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Dec. 21, 2016 City Commission meeting.

The decision to present the award to Mr. de Souza was not a difficult one; more than 20 resi-

dents nominated him for the honor.

Annually, the City presents an award to the individual or organization that has contributed tirelessly to help improve the community. Mr. de Souza was a City employee for 27 years, shaping the Hepburn Seniors Program, developing relationships and caring for every individual who walked through the doors. He was very

passionate of seniors and their wellbeing. He would visit hospitals, homes and attend funerals on his own time. He would spend weekends volunteering to help the seniors and drove countless seniors in need of transportation. Mr. de Souza retired from the City last November.

“For spending all those hours packaging and distributing food… for taking a person inter-

est in his seniors and for the absolute kindness above the call of duty,” writes Jackie Pentecost, who submitted the formal nomination, only to have another 20 residents co-sponsor the nomination.

Following tradition, the City will present Mr. de Souza with the award and ask him to accept the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Day Proclamation, naming January

About the City of Hallandale Beach The City of Hallandale Beach is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of the community in a fiscally responsible manner by providing superior services that meet the needs of our community as well as plan for their

future needs through continued communication.

PRIZE WINNNING PIANIST FABIO MARTINO RETURNS TO AVENTURA IN A PROGRAM OF BEETHOVEN AND DANCES

BY CHOPIN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COMPOSERS The Sundays at Five Series at The Aventura Arts and Cultural Center opens November 20 with the charismatic Brazilian artist “MAGICIAN AT THE PIANO” Fabio Martino makes his third South Florida appearance under the sponsorship of The Miami International Piano Festival. Giselle Brodsky, Artistic Director, has explained that “Martino is an amazing artist who combines brilliant technique, profound understanding of the music, and the ability to engage and excite the audience. He has already established himself among the finest pianists of his generation and has a sensational future in store.

Each recital for us has been an event. For me it is like hearing pieces I know so well for the first time.

He is truly a magician at the piano. I can think of no better way to open our 20th season.”

Martino’s recital is the first of five Classical Sundays at Five at the Aventura venue. As part of the Aventura Cultural Series, the audience engages in an intimate experience. A convivial reception follows. The Miami International Piano Festival’s Lecturer in Residence, Dr. Frank Cooper, proffers illuminating commentary for all of the recitals We recently interviewed the pianist. These are some of his thoughts.

REACTION TO BEING INVITED HERE: It is always a big pleasure for me and I´m very happy to come to Miami to this very important international Piano Festival. The audience is always amazing!

They hear carefully everything I want to say with my playing, they come with me inside the music, they are really open minded and free. I really love to perform my music for them and I can’t wait to come to play again, because this time it’s a special honor for me to celebrate the Festival´s 20th Anniversary Edition with the Opening Concert of the Season.

THOUGHTS ON PROGRAM SELECTION: “This program is very colorful. When I taught about it, I realized it should be just like a ballet with different acts. Beethoven´s ‘Appassionata Sonata’ (which I recorded on my brand new CD “Passion”) is a challenging beginning (maybe like an Overture)

Fabio Martino ferent dances by Chopin, Villa-Lobos, Ginastera and Guarnieri. Like in a Ballet performance, the stage changes constantly - sometimes there´s just one dancer as a soloist, sometimes 2 dancers, sometimes a complete group of dancers - masqueraded, naked, body-painted - whatever your imagination will show you by listening. It´s an invitation for everybody to DANCE with me in their mind!

THE PIANIST DISCUSSES HIS RECENT PERFORMANCES: I love to play and to share my feelings with the Public. I´ve being playing a lot of concerts with orchestras around the world with very important debuts: Berlin Philharmonic, Seoul Arts Center, BBC Ulster Orchestra and many more. I wish to play more and more in the U.S., recitals and of course with different orchestras! Your country is huge, full of rich and varied cultures and I´m sure, I can thrill the public and bring a very interesting Brazilian accent everywhere I will be supposed to play!

MUSIC CRITICS AND MUSICIANS ON FABIO MARTINO: “No question, Martino is an excep-

UPCOMING EVENTS IN AVENTURA January 15, 2017 PIETRO DE MARIA ( Italy) “He is a true virtuoso, meaning that he has the pianistic resources to do anything he wants to, not that he advertises his technique.”Boston Globe February 19 , 2017 KOTARO FUKUMA (Japan) „A fabulous artist... and a prince among peers.“ “A pianist that combines technical virtuosity with a superb musical sensibility and sensitivity that brings emotional impact of the works to the surface, capturing the audience throughout the evening, Perfectly judged and immaculate, this was playing such as one rarely encounters.” -The Independent, London March 19, 2017 FRANCESCO LIBETTA (Italy) "Fury, demonically charged and technically staggering. Here is big piano playing in its most unfettered and dangerous state. What a performance!" – Gramophone "He takes his wonderful fingers for granted and he is a master of every period or style represented...the pieces sing. I have no hesitation calling him an important pianist.." - Harold Schonberg

April 23, 2017 MISHA DACIC (Serbia) “Misha Dacic’s formidable Lisztian reputation is completely borne out by the stunning virtuosity and passionate, fearless embrace of the composer’s idiom His interpretation are of staggering precision and coiled intensity and in sparse textures in seemingly three-dimensional layers through imaginative pedaling.

than impressive proof of his maturity as a pianist. He’s operating at the dramatic pulse of the music, concentrates the atmosphere with phenomenal emphasis so achieving the miracle of hearing even well-known works from a completely new perspective. Well worth listening to is the encore of the ‘Hit’ Tico-Tico by MarcAndré Hamelin. This isn’t only virtuoso it really rocks! Magnificent!” Klassik Heute – 2016-11-01 reviewing Martino’s latest CD, “Passion” “... Fabio Martino has the ability and talent to convey through his virtuosity and his very fine piano technique, poetry and elegy in an impressive interpretation. His indescribable sound world is ecstasizing and varies greatly between pianissimo and profound, vigorous attacks.”

M.A. Seta, Music Critic “Fabio Martino is THE symbiosis of musicality and limelight hog.” Axel Schlicksupp Orchester Director of the Bad. Staatskapelle Karlsruhe "Nuanced sensitivity, radical ecstasy and an astonishing technical virtuosity." Süddeutsche Zeitung “Martino may have grown a secret third hand for his encore.” Des Moines Register "…it is near sorcery when there is an encounter with the nucleus, the very essence of music. That is transcendence, that is Fabio Martino. Badische Neueste Nachrichten

There is simply nothing like Ralph’s International Market in Hollywood This south Florida landmark is getting ready for Thanksgiving with prepared meals and a shopping experience like you’ve never seen

Whether it’s the upcoming holidays - or any other time of year, Ralph’s International Market in Hollywood always has something special and different.

From the “wall of international beers” - with some of the most recognized brands from all over the world, to their famous smoked meats, featuring ribs and pork loin, this is certainly the place to be. internationally, but will give those who are from many countries a chance to sample the brands they grew up with.

Delicious Smoked Brisket.

From the moment you walk into Ralph’s International Market, the selection of foods and beverages from all over the world take center stage.

This unique shopping experience is something that you will not find anywhere else in south Florida.

Hollywood - Pat Lucci is one of those people that you meet one time and forever remember his personality and passion for what he has created through the years.

Tucked away to the west of I-95 - between Stirling Road and Sheridan Street in Hollywood, Lucci’s creation, Ralph’s International Market, has certainly been the talk of the town for years.

Amid the freight trucks that roll out of his Niagara food warehouse is one of the best kept secrets in south Florida. For this Navy veteran and Buffalo, N.Y. native, the dream of opening a market and eatery in the center of this distribution center has more than become a reality.

With shelves full of the largest variety of imported food products from all over the world, Lucci has indeed created a bit of an international food culture from every country you can imagine.

For this retired 2-star Admiral who still relishes coming to work every day - his love for what he does and his hometown of Buffalo, come through in every step through this

culinary shopping experience.

When we bought this food distribution center over 30 years ago, Lucci gave up a lucrative career in the donut business to pursue another dream. He wanted to carry and have products that were hard to get.

“From the time we were just a distribution center and looked toward the future, we wanted to be that place where we would have items you just could not find anywhere,” Lucci said. “Today, we are much more than that and the customers continue to rely on products that they used back in their countries and cities around the world.”

From wines that are imported from countries such as Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary as well as other areas of the world - to Bulgarian Feta Cheese and so much more - Ralph’s International Market has become a major destination.

In addition, foods from Russia, Croatia, Israel, Italy, Poland, Lebanon and many other countries are always in stock, giving everyone a taste of international cuisine like

you’ve never seen before.

Love For Buffalo There is no mistaking the love that Lucci has for Buffalo. With so many people migrating over the years to south Florida from that frigid region of the country, there are those childhood memories of eating Sahlen’s Smokehouse Hot Dogs, Bison Dip and using the famous Anchor Bar Wing Sauce.

“We have those items that so many grew up on,” Lucci pointed out.

“Things such as P.J.’s Crystal Beach Loganberry Syrup, Webers Horseradish Sauce, Ted’s Famous Hot Sauce, Chiavetta’s Marinade as well as Molson, Labatts and Geneses beers and ales.”

Roasting/Smoking For The Holidays With Thanksgiving around the corner, Lucci and his staff will be busy roasting and smoking plenty of turkeys to make this a tasty and special holiday.

• Turkey Dinner (10-12 people) - 14-16 pounds of turkey.

Mashed or Roasted Potatoes, Stuff-

Smoked Turkey right in time for Thanksgiving. ing, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Bread, 1 Pie. $79.00.

• Turkey Dinner (16-18 people) - 20-24 pounds of turkey. Mashed or Roasted Potatoes, Stuffing, Gravy, 2 Cranberry Sauces, 2 Breads, 2 Pie. $119.00.

• Hallal Lamb (38-40 lbs) - Ready To be Served, Oven Roasted or Smoked With Special Seasoning. $175.00.

• Whole Pig. Market Price. Call for details.

Turkey isn’t the only things that will fill the market with enticing aromas for the holidays. Duck, goat, chicken, ribs, fish, brisket and so much more are available every day as well.

With a heavy influence of Canadians having a smoker that churns out such a high volume and reproduces what so many are used to, it’s a win/win for everyone.

“What we set out to do when we purchased that smoker a few years back

was to give the people of this area something they have never had before,” Lucci said. “Not only do we have an array of different woods we use in the smoking process, but our rubs are truly special as well.”

Wall of International Beers With so many in south Florida always searching for those hard to find international beers, Ralph’s International Market features one of the most extensive “walls of international beers” that you will not be able to find anywhere.

The selection from all over the world will not only introduce many to some of the best brews

Breakfast and Lunch Specials Over the past few years, the part of Ralph’s International Market that has really taken off are the delicious and affordable breakfast and lunch specials.

Where else can you get 2 eggs, choice of meat (bacon, ham or sausage), choice of home fries, oatmeal or grits and coffee for under $4?

The lunch specials (under $6), which include one entree and two sides, cooked fresh daily, have been packing in the crowds as well. In addition to a large selection of deli and prepared foods, there is a “Catch Your Own Lobster” tank and fresh olive bar.

• Live Lobster - Cooked or Uncooked - $13.99 lb.

• New England Clam Bake With Whole Lobster, Clams, Mussels & Shrimp. Includes Potatoes & Corn. $11.99 lb.

• Lobster Fra Diavolo With Linguine & Whole Lobster. $11.99 lb.

• Zupa De Pesce With Whole Lobster & Seafood. $11.99 lb.

“I have said all along that our lunches are the best you can get anywhere,” Lucci pointed out.

“Once you come in and try it for yourself, you will taste the freshness and the time that has been put into every dish prepared.”

Side dishes that will make your Thanksgiving meal Roasted potatoes, vegetables and buttermilk biscuits steal the show • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, red onions, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Spread the potato mixture out evenly on a baking sheet; roast until the potatoes are tender, crispy and browned, 40 to 45 minutes.

Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta • 2 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch • dice (about 1/2 cup) • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 10 ounces Brussels sprouts (about • 18 medium sprouts), trimmed and halved • through the core • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar • Freshly ground black pepper • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • Kosher salt

As everyone gets ready for next Thursday, turkey and ham may be on the minds of so many, but what about the side dishes that you will serve?

From potatoes to vegetables and everything in between, many of us overlook the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving meal.

Check out some of these delicious side dishes that will only add to the holiday Roasted Baby Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic • 3 pounds assorted baby potatoes • (such as red-skinned, white-skinned • and Peruvian purple), rinsed and halved • 1 large red onion, coarsely chopped • 12 cloves garlic • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 1 teaspoon salt

Heat the pancetta and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy 10-inch straight-sided saute pan over mediumlow heat until golden and crisp all over, 10 to 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pan.

You should have about 2 tablespoons of drippings left in the pan; if not, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Measure out 1/2 cup water and set aside. Put the pan over medium-high heat and arrange the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Cook until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the water to the pan, cover immediately and simmer until the sprouts are tender when poked with a fork or skewer, about 3 minutes. (If the water evaporates before the sprouts become tender, add more water 1/4 cup at a time.)

Transfer the sprouts to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Return the pan to medium-high heat. (It is fine if any water remains; it will boil off with the vinegar.) Add the vinegar and a few grinds of pepper and boil the vinegar until lightly syrupy and reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low,

add the butter and stir until melted. Return the sprouts and pancetta to the pan and toss to evenly coat with the sauce. Season with salt and more pepper.

Creamed Pearl Onions • 1 bag frozen pearl onions • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter • 1/2 cup heavy cream • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Thaw pearl onions and then saute in butter until golden brown. Deglaze by adding a little water at a time. Finish with heavy cream and reduce until you achieve a smooth consistency. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Buttermilk Biscuits • 4 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon salt • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 2 teaspoons baking soda • 1 cup vegetable shortening, cold, • cut into 1/2-inch pieces • 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk, • plus additional for brushing Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your hands or a stand mixer fixed with a dough hook until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center and add 1 cup buttermilk.

Using your hands, quickly fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk until a sticky dough forms. You may need to add more buttermilk.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 3 or 4 times to create layers.

Press the dough out to 1 1/2-inches thick and cut with a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter. Lay the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with buttermilk. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until risen and golden brown.
