Tu rkeyKALE

MEATBALLS SERVES

dding kale to your meatballs acts as a great binder and of course increases the nutrient profile enormously! Kale is a great source of calcium, Vitamin A, C and K.

DIRECTIONS STEP ONE

Cover a prep sheet or tray with parchment paper. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel sauté pan on low heat. Make sure the pan has some sort of lid, it does not have to be a match but something that will work.

STEP TWO

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, tomato paste, salt, paprika and pepper. Add the kale and mix well. Add the turkey and mix well.

INGREDIENTS • 1 pound of minced turkey • 1 cup defrosted frozen kale, excess liquid squeezed out before measuring, I use Cookin’ Greens (about 2 cups frozen) • 1 large clove garlic, minced • 1 tbsp tomato paste • 3/4 tsp sea salt • 1/2 tsp paprika • 1/4 tsp medium-grind black pepper • 3 tbsp olive oil for the pan

NOTE: I usually defrost the frozen kale by leaving

it out at room temperature for about 1 hour, or you can put it in the microwave, just make sure it is cooled before adding it to the turkey.

STEP THREE

Shape into 16 medium size balls.

STEP FOUR

Heat the olive oil in the pan and place the turkey balls in the oil, raise the heat to medium and fry on one side for about 2-3 minutes, flip and repeat. Add 2-3 tbsp of water to the pan and immediately cover the pan and cook for 8 minutes.

STEP FIVE

Eat on their own with the pan juices or add to your favourite tomato sauce.

g n i r p S into he season for new beginnings has more benefits than the emerging greenery. Here are some tips from Hydro One on how to spring forward into saving energy during longer days:

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS PULLING A PLUG. Once your cell phone or tablet is fully charged, make sure to unplug the chargers for these devices. Up to 50% of the electricity they draw is lost as heat.

SCREEN OUT YOUR SCREENSAVERS. Did you know that computer screensavers can use up to twice as much energy than putting your computer into “sleep� mode?

Save by disabling your screensaver, or better yet, unplugging your computer entirely when not in use.

TIME YOUR DIME. Invest in lighting controls such as motion sensors, timers and dimmer switches, as they create ambiance in the home while saving energy. These control technologies also save energy by reducing lighting use and are among the simplest, least expensive energy-management devices available.

DON'T LET STANDBY MODE SUCK UP YOUR ENERGY. Love recording your favourite television shows? You may not know that personal video recorders consume 70% of their energy in standby mode. Check in with your cable provider to see if they offer an Energy Star certified model.

LAUNDRY ROOM RENO An organized and well-designed laundry room can make everyday chores quicker and easier. Refreshing this space is a great project for spring. As Canada's most trusted contractor and handyman, Mike Holmes has seen it all — from faulty venting to amateur plumbing to flooring gone wrong. Here he shares his expertise so you can avoid laundry room letdown.

Mike Holmes Contractor & Handyman

MAKE A PLAN AND MAKE IT RIGHT. As with any home renovation, planning is the key to success.

Know the timing and budget for your project, but be flexible. Leave time and money for unexpected delays and surprise discoveries once you get underway.

GE Top Load Washing Machine

SELECT THE RIGHT APPLIANCES. THINK MULTIFUNCTION. As you prepare your design and layout, consider all the steps involved in doing laundry, and how you might want to incorporate them into the space. Do you hang a lot of your clothes to dry? Want to fold clothes right in the space? Need shelving for storage? Mapping out what you want before work begins will ensure the final product is a multifunctional room that meets all your needs.

BRING IN THE PROFESSIONALS. As with any home renovation, planning is the key to success. Know the timing and budget for your project, but be flexible. Leave time and money for unexpected delays and surprise discoveries once you get underway.

Spend as much time choosing your appliances as you do your paint colour, and look beyond style to find functionality that will make your life easier. Top-load laundry pairs, like GE Appliances' Designer Line Evolution, are making a big comeback because of their ergonomic design, reliable performance and the fact that they don't retain moisture, which can lead to issues with mould and mildew.

FINISH WITH FLOORING. You want to choose a material that's going to give you the biggest bang for your buck. Holmes' personal pick for this room is tile because it's durable, relatively low maintenance and very easy to clean.

DESIGN TRENDS for your home Cobalt U8 Century Paint from Benjamin Moore

14

ach year we are presented with new and innovative trends in design and home décor.

But many of us often wonder how to translate these daring styles into our own homes for livability.

Here, SHARON GRECH, Benjamin Moore colour and design expert, shares her tips for incorporating bold trends into your home.

TOUCH OF VELVET. While you may remember velvet as a popular midcentury fabric, it has recently made a resurgence in home décor. Known for its distinctively smooth, rich texture, velvet is a popular way to make a space look and feel luxurious.

Wild Caraway U3 Century Paint from Benjamin Moore

Açaí R8 Century Paint from Benjamin Moore

“Whether you want to invest in a striking velvet sofa or velvet accent pillows, either option will add that sophisticated feel to a space. Another great way to incorporate velvet into a room is by using premium, soft-touch matte paint on a feature wall,” suggests Grech.

Benjamin Moore Century is a first of-its-kind paint that creates a tactile experience, similar to that of a soft leather glove. Bedrooms, dining rooms and powder rooms are all great spaces to consider making a bold statement with a feature wall.

GORGEOUS GEOMETRICS. When it comes to geometric shapes and patterns, a little can go a long way, so you want to ensure the pattern isn't competing with other elements in the space. Incorporate this trend without going overboard by using accents.

Backsplashes are the perfect place to be daring with geometric patterns. Kitchens and bathrooms are ideal for adding geometry in design as they contain relatively small and focused areas. If you are looking for an option that requires a little less commitment, try incorporating accessories with a geo structure or pattern. Geometricinspired coffee tables and mirrors can emulate that same modern look without having to make a big commitment in your space or budget. >>>

MARVELOUS METALS. Gone are the days of choosing between silver and gold.

We've expanded our metallic palette to include even more metals like chrome, rose gold, copper and brass. The art of mixing metals and metallic tones is being applied in details throughout the entire home to add depth and intrigue into a space.

“METALS ARE NO LONGER RESERVED FOR FAUCETS AND FIXTURES,” says Grech.

“One of the reasons I love this trend is because of its adaptability. Metals complement so many different hues, which make them easy to add into a space and coordinate with existing décor.”
