Newspaper Page TextSATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2017 ❚ SIUSLAW NEWS 990 ܂ STATEWIDE CLASSIFIEDS (NAPSA)—For many families, baking holiday treats together is one of the most delightful traditions of the season. One way to make family holiday memo- ries even sweeter may be to substitute hon- ey for sugar, according to the Sioux Honey Association Co-op. There are many reasons, including the way baking with honey produces a golden crust, a distinctive ﬂ avor and a moister tex- ture. Honey also provides healthful beneﬁ ts. For example, honey contains more complex sugars, producing smaller ﬂ uctuations in blood sugar and insulin levels. Another ben- eﬁ t is you can use less honey to achieve the same amount of sweetness. Honey-Substituting Suggestions Here’s how: • For each cup of sugar, use 1/2 to 2/3 cup of honey. You can use a 1:1 ratio for most yeast breads, mufﬁ ns and pancakes. • For each cup of honey, subtract 1/4 cup of other liquids. Honey is about 20 percent water, and you need to reduce the total amount of liquid in the recipe. • Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for every 1 cup of honey. Add it even if the recipe doesn’t call for it. Honey is naturally acidic, and baking soda helps baked goods with honey properly rise. • Reduce the temperature of the oven by 25° F. The higher sugar content in honey caramelizes and burns faster than sugar. You may also care to try these two holiday honey recipes. Holiday Honey Cookies 1 1/2 cups fl our 3/4 cup butter 1/4 cup Sue Bee Honey 1 tsp vanilla Combine fl our and butter in mixer un- til fi ne. Drizzle in honey and vanilla while pulsing until mixture pulls together. Roll out and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Bake at 300° F for 10–15 minutes. Celebrate the holidays with sweet, home-baked treats. 12 ounces white chocolate chips 1/4–1/3 cup evaporated milk per 12 ounces of chocolate chips 24 pretzel rods 1 bottle of red sprinkles 1 bottle of green sprinkles In separate, microwave-safe bowls, microwave white and dark chocolate chips 1 minute and stir with a spatula. Once melted, mix in honey. Then add evaporated milk until chocolate reaches dipping consistency. Dip one pretzel rod in chocolate; spread chocolate halfway up the rod with a knife and let excess run off. Over a piece of waxed paper, drizzle sprinkles onto the pretzel; then move to another piece of waxed paper to cool. Do the same with the white chocolate and repeat until all pretzels are covered; half dark chocolate, half white chocolate. Place the pretzel on waxed paper in the refrigerator for 2 hours to cool and dry completely. After completely dry, store in an airtight container and enjoy. Adding to their goodness, these treats are made with honey from the Sioux Honey Association Co-op. Established in 1921, it now includes over 290 independent bee- keepers across America.

Honey Chocolate–Covered Pretzels 3/4 cup Sue Bee Honey per 12 ounces of chocolate chips 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips Brought to you by this newspaper in partnership with (NAPSA)—Finding time to cook a healthy dinner for the whole family to enjoy can be a challenge. With a little planning and advance prep, however, making a family dinner can be a cinch. Here are six ways to get ahead of the curve: • Create a weekly menu. • Keep it simple with easy-to-prepare meals that can be made quickly or in ad- vance. • Write up your grocery list and do the shopping all at once rather than making nu- merous trips to the grocery store through- out the week. • As you’re unloading the groceries, wash and dry the fruit and veggies and store in re- sealable bags. • Prep dinner early in the morning before the day gets hectic. • Keep your pantry well stocked with items such as canned tuna, canned toma- toes, and Lindsay olives, capers and peppers, so you can throw together a quick and tasty pasta or a dinner salad. Then try these no-fuss, easy-to-make dinner ideas: • Combine bone-in chicken breasts with equal parts water, chicken stock and canned tomatoes in your slow cooker. Add chopped carrots, onions and celery. Cook low and slow all day. About an hour before dinner, remove chicken from slow cooker and add one package of frozen corn and one can of pinto beans. While the corn and beans are heating, shred the chicken using two forks and return to the soup. Serve soup in warmed bowls and garnish with green and black olives, cilantro, avocado, green onions, wedges of lime and shredded jack cheese. Serve with a simple green salad. • Assemble a quick sheet pan dinner by creating a ﬂ avorful base using a good amount of green and black olives, halved cherry tomatoes, and a small handful or two of capers. Drizzle with a good glug of Lind- say Buttery California Extra Virgin Olive Oil, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and toss so veggies are well coated. Lay a ﬂ aky white ﬁ sh ﬁ llet of your choice on top of the veggies and drizzle with more olive oil and salt and pepper. Scatter a few sprigs of thyme on top. Store in the fridge until din- ner time, then bake until ﬁ sh is done. Serve with a tossed green salad and crusty French bread. • Then there’s the popular, the ultimate make-ahead meal: bubbly, gooey, creamy, comfy casseroles, whether it’s baked ziti, tuna casserole, turkey tetrazzini—the op- tions are nearly endless and you’re sure to please just about everyone. Throw in a green salad and you’ve got a delicious dinner. PUBLIC NOTICES DIVORCE $155. Complete preparation. Includes chil- dren, custody, support, property and bills division. No court appearances.
