Healthy holiday eating tips listed
by Mary Ann Lienhart-Cross Extension Educator Elkhart County With extra busy holiday schedules, it really is important that you take or make the time to eat. Your body needs that fuel to go on. If you really care about yourself, you will make sure to have a variety of foods. What I am saying is that you need to eat your vegetables, fruits, foods from the grain and milk group. Most of you get your two servings of the meat group and too much fat and sugar—especially when you eat on the run. You do so much planning on a daily basis but often you don’t plan what and when to eat and then you wonder why you don’t feel good. You just have to fuel your body’s system, especially when you are really pushing it. I am not encouraging overeating but you need to supply your body with the foods that provide it with the nutrients it needs. With your busy schedule and a desire for easy meals the microwave is a natural. Active preparation time is often about the same for microwave and conventionally cooked, but the total cooking time is usually shorter. If you

cook individual meat loaves at the same time in the microwave instead of a large one, the cooking time will be shorter. However, cooking some foods ir. the microwave oven does not save time, such as rice and pasta. The solution is cook the rice or pasta on the stove top while your main dish is in the microwave oven. So you may not want to cook every food in the microwave oven. Some foods that are the most natural for the microwave are vegetables and fruits. Microwaving using saves time, retains nutrients, and maximizes flavor. A microwave oven is also great for heating up leftover vegetables. Some fruits adapt well to microwave cooking too. Try microwave baked apples or pears for a quick easy dessert. Core and prepare according to directions in your microwave cookbook. Toast ovens, countertop convection ovens, pressure saucepans, or cookers, are other small appliances that can help save active or total time. Some other ides to keep in mind are to use cookware in which food can be cooked, served and stored. A food processor can save considerable time if you have lots of vegetables to chop or slice for a salad, soup or stir fry dish or casserole, although it may not be worth the trouble for small amounts. A tip for green pepper and onion: chop a large quantity and freeze in zip lock bag or other airtight containers for future use in cooked dishes. Frozen chopped pieces separate easily with a knife and during cooking. Whatever gadgets you use, the fewer you use, the less time needed for cleanup.

Share contest entries
A part of this year’s Country Christmas celebration in Nappanec included several contests. among them a “Christmas i5...” competition for entrants of all ages. Following are three of the contest entries. Sue Havens (adult), first place —Christmas is beautiful trees with the twinkling of lights, fireplaces lit up—warming the nights. Mistletoe hanging and plenty of food, our families and friends sharing the mood. Remembering loved ones who are now gone, traditions that some day will be passed on. Chestnuts are roasted and eggnog is chilled, children are rowdy—excitement will build. They’ll talk about presents Santa might bring, and carolers gather outside to sing. Let’s not forget the number one reason, we all celebrate this special season. A child was born in a manger of hay, God sent His Son, Jesus, for us that day. Keith G. Smith (adult), second place—Christmas is candles bright, homes and laughter, rituals and traditions of family images pressed upon young minds forever. Songs from Autry’s Rudolph to Handel’s Messiah, treats from Grandma's recipe box baked once a year. Carols of happiness sung to serenade the shut-in and lonely.
