Cozy Up With These 3 Hot Drinks

Chai Tea: Chai tea is a drink that warms the soul during the winter months. Add warm milk and some honey or sugar to your liking.

Hot Chocolate: Hot chocolate is a comforting childhood favorite. Adults can still drink it too! We like to add marshmallows and whipped cream for added deliciousness.

Spiced Cider: Hot cider is the perfect beverage for a chilly day. Add a cinnamon stick for that extra spiced effect.

What are your favorite drinks to indulge in during the winter months?

Go Green This New Year

It's a new year and everyone has a fresh new start. Why not use this as an opportunity to make an impact on our world? Go green. See below for a few ways you can go green this year:

1. Drive a hybrid or electric vehicle. The Volt, Spark EV, and Tahoe Hybrid are a few of Chevy's greener options. These vehicles will save you time and money in the long run!
2. Carpool. Do you have a friend you work with? Why not save gas and ride together? You'll be happy you can beat traffic by using the carpool lane.
3. Ride a bike. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from driving and enjoy the outdoors. Going for a quick bite to eat close by? Why not get your bicycle out of the garage and take a ride?

Holiday Sugar Cookies


Spread some holiday cheer with these delicious iced sugar cookies. They'll be a hit at any holiday party. Keep reading for the recipe below.

Ingredients
 
Cookies:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing:
One 12-ounce box confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons meringue powder
1/3 cup warm (80 to 90 degrees F) water
Food coloring, optional
Assorted sprinkles, colored sugar and small candy pieces

Directions
For the cookies: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a stand mixer, cream the butter, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, one spoonful at a time, until thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll out half of the dough at a time, keeping the remainder of the dough in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness and cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter. Place the cutout cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for a few minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to retain their shape. (You can roll out the scraps to make a few more cookies.) Bake until just before the edges of the cookies start to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool the cookies for 1 to 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

For the icing: In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, and warm water with a wire whisk. Stir until the icing is smooth. Adjust the consistency of the icing by adding more confectioners' sugar or more water, as needed. Add food coloring, if desired, to the icing. Spread the icing on the cooled cookies and then top with assorted sprinkles and candies.

Tips To Drive In The Fog!


Driving in the fog can be a real pain. We have compiled a list of safety tips to help you get to your destination in the fog. Always remember to stay safe!

  • Slow down and do not drive faster than your vision.
  • Be cautious, fog can become thicker without warning and without being noticed until it is too late to react.
  • Increase following distance to ensure enough reaction time and stopping distance.
  • Turn on all your lights-including your hazard lights. Use low beam headlights and fog lights. Do not use high beams.
  • Turn on your 4-way flashers to give vehicles approaching from behind a better opportunity to see and notice your vehicle.
  • Use windshield wipers and defroster as necessary to maximize visibility.
  • Be ready for emergency stops by other vehicles.
  • If possible, drive in a “cushion of safety” where no other vehicles are around you.
  • Turn off your cruise control so you are in control of your vehicle.
  • Use the right edge of the road or roadside reflectors as a guide.
  • Listen for traffic you can’t see.
  •  Do not change lanes or pass other vehicles, unless absolutely necessary.
  • Remember that other drivers have limited sight distance and that fog makes the road wet.
  • Signal early, and when you use your brakes, don’t stomp on them.
  • Watch out for slow-moving and parked vehicles.
  • If you cannot see, pull completely off the road, preferably at a rest area or truck stop.
  •  If you pull off the road, turn on your hazard flashers immediately.

Feed the People!

There is nothing like being hungry and anxious waiting for your Thanksgiving feast to be ready. Especially if you have a house full of guests feeling the same way. Get the appetites of your Thanksgiving guests with these mouthwatering appetizers! 







Holiday Cucumber Cups- These peeled cucumber cups, with their holiday color scheme, look wonderfully festive, plus they're a snap to make. All you will need is 6 medium cucumbers, 1 (8-ounce) container of red pepper hummus, 1 (8-ounce) container of lemon hummus, and chopped chives for garnish. Start by making creative stripes on the sides of the cucumbers with a vegetable peeler. Cut the cucumbers crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick rounds. Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out the seeds to form a well, about 1/3 inch deep, in each slice. Then, spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the red pepper hummus into the wells of half of the cucumber cups. Repeat the process with the lemon hummus. Lastly, sprinkle on the chopped chives as desired. 






Fruit Gobbler- Here is what you will need: Bosc pear (head), Melon (body), Cheese (beak and tail feathers), Red pepper (snood, feet and side feathers), Raisins (eyes), Grapes (tail feathers), Bamboo skewers, Toothpicks. Start by stabilizing the melon body by cutting a shallow slice off the rind to form a flat base. Using a section of bamboo skewer, attach a Bosc pear head to the melon. Next, cut a cheese triangle beak and red pepper snood. Attach both, along with raisin eyes, to the head with sections of toothpick. Lastly, cut red pepper feet and set them in place. For tail feathers, skewer cheese cubes and red grapes, then insert the skewers as shown. Pin pepper side feathers in place with toothpicks.






Sweet Potato Chips- Once you start, you can't stop munching on these crispy chips. All you will need is 2 medium sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper, and paprika. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice as thinly as possible. Next, toss with olive oil and spread in a thin layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Lastly, just throw these tasty treats in the oven for 20 minutes or until crispy!
