Thanksgiving Recipes

Sunflower from my garden this spring.
A bright sunflower growing in my front yard garden.

Thanksgiving is a time to come together as a family whether with loved ones or friends to celebrate. What better way to bring people together than a shared meal on a special day.  Here are some of my favorite recipes for a traditional Thanksgiving you might like to make and share.

GRANDMA THELMA’S CORNBREAD STUFFING

I like turkey, but I love the Grandma Thelma’s Southern Cornbread Stuffing.  This “dressing” goes along with my roasted wing and freezing very well too.

  • 1/2- pound butter – divided
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 ½cups chopped celery
  • 9cups prepared day old cornbread (double this recipe or use 4 boxes of Jiffy Mix)
  • 4 slices of day-old bread, (OR bagels, buns, whatever you have on hand)
  • 1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2eggs, beaten
  • 2cups chicken stock – divided
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter one 2- quart casserole dish.
  2. In a sauté pan, cook onion powder and celery in 4 Tablespoons of butter until soft and add 1 cup of stock. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cooled celery mixture, cornbread crumbled, and bread torn into bite size pieces, poultry seasoning, eggs, pecans, cranberries, and remaining cup of chicken stock. Mix well and add to buttered casserole dish. (Mixture will be “wet” when placed in dish to bake.)
  4. Dot top of stuffing mixture with remaining butter (about ¼ pound.)
  5. Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees F or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F and edges are golden brown.

Serve with turkey, pork chops, or BBQ chicken! Freezes up to 2 months wrapped tightly in foil.

I feel every Thanksgiving needs carbs with turkey dinner. But some folks like other Thanksgiving traditions at their gathering. But one if for sure, pie is a universal dessert which makes everyone happy.

PIES

For your favorite dessert make a homemade pumpkin pie or even better a pumpkin cheesecake (for the calcium.)

KATHY’S PUMPKIN PIE

  • 1 (9 or 10 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust
  • 1cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs – beaten
  • 1 (15 ounce) can LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  • Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 55 more minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
  • Serve cooled pie immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and restful holiday.  Bon Appetit!

Career Transitions

Have an agenda and your goals will be accomplished
Have a plan and keep refining for success.

Transitioning in your career can be both exciting and scary. Whether you’re seeking new challenges, better opportunities, or pursuing a passion, shifting careers requires thoughtful planning and strategic actions. From gaining the necessary education to building a strong network, here’s how to successfully navigate a career change.

Education and Skill Development

Education is often the first step in a career transition, especially if you’re moving into a completely new field. Start by assessing the skills you already have and identifying the gaps you need to fill. Research the skills required for your desired career and consider enrolling in relevant courses, certifications, or even degree programs. Online learning platforms offer flexibility, allowing you to upskill while maintaining your current job.

In some cases, you might not need formal education but rather specialized training or workshops that offer practical, hands-on experience. Look for opportunities to gain experience through internships, volunteering, or part-time work in your new field. This not only enhances your resume but also gives you a taste of what the job entails, helping you determine if it’s the right fit.

 Networking

Networking is crucial when transitioning careers. Building relationships with professionals in your target industry can open doors to opportunities that aren’t advertised. Start by attending industry events, seminars, and webinars where you can meet and learn from others in the field. LinkedIn is also a powerful tool for networking. You need to connect with individuals in your desired industry, join relevant groups, and participate in discussions to establish yourself. It’s scary at first, but take it from me you meet so many good people via LinkedIn.

Informational interviews are another valuable resource. Reach out to professionals in your target industry to learn more about their career paths, challenges, and the skills required. These conversations can provide insights and guidance that are invaluable during a career transition.

Embracing a Total Career Change

A complete career change can be intimidating, but with careful planning, it’s achievable. Start by doing a self-assessment to understand your motivations for the change. Identify what you’re passionate about, what skills you excel in, and how these can be applied to a new field. This self-awareness is crucial in making informed decisions about your next steps.

Once you’ve identified your new career path, begin laying the groundwork. Update your resume to highlight transferable skills and any relevant experience. Consider creating a portfolio that showcases your work, particularly if you’re moving into a creative or technical field. Tailor your cover letters and applications to reflect your enthusiasm for the new field and your readiness to contribute.

Taking the Leap

Finally, transitioning in your career requires courage and resilience. It’s important to set realistic expectations and be prepared for challenges along the way. Consider taking small steps towards your goal, such as starting in a related role before fully transitioning, to ease the process.

Remember, career transitions are a journey. By investing in education, expanding your network, and embracing change, you can successfully navigate the path to a new career. Keep an open mind, stay patient, and trust in your ability to adapt and grow.  You’ve got this!

Career Wisdom

Leadership written in blue and hand writing the word visible.

As you progress in your career you pick up morsels of wisdom. Recently I found a post by a former journalist and leader that I enjoyed reading.  Here are few “bite-size” morsels to help you navigate your career.

Harvey Mackay is a self-made business person and wise mentor sharing his experience.

For example, he was quoted, “Don’t just mark time; use time to make your mark.” I liken Harvey’s wisdom to that of James Clear’s career advice.  Clear is known for his best-selling book, “Atomic Habits” and routinely speaks at Fortune 500 gatherings and keynotes.

The times and mode of communication have changed. James’ profile on LinkedIn has thousands of followers. Harvey was syndicated in national newspapers for years. However, the common sense habits and “grit” needed to succeed, then and now, are the same.

Another bit of “Harvey wisdom,” reads like something out of Clear’s current playbook. “Technology should improve your life, not become your life.”  Compared to James Clear’s recent quote:

 “Simple ways to have a peaceful moment:

-Close your eyes and just breathe for two minutes.

-Leave your phone in another room for an hour…”

So, my point is wisdom comes in all forms and changes slightly over time. But really, your experiences shape the person you want to be and will become. Kindness, consistency, and putting the work in will result in rewards.  Rewards of goals achieved, dreams realized, and what success looks like for you.

Life is full of mishaps, fun, and opportunities. Be ready for what comes your way. As Harvey stated, “How people play the game shows something of their character. How they lose shows all of it.”  Food for thought…

It’s Not You

Yellowstone Lake - Nature is rejuvenating
Wishing you calm and happiness this season

After reading Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s new book, “It’s Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People,” I had to share. This book is life affirming if you need to understand why “bad things” happen to you and motivators of narcissists. Dr. Durvasula also provides extensive strategies for healing and dealing with these highly manipulative and vengeful people.

Who Are They? 

We don’t know why people act the way they do to hurt others. It’s a diagnosed personality disorder that is finally getting the attention it needs. The definition of a narcissistic goes beyond just wanting their way all the time or being powerful.  It’s about people you have in your life, that abuse and shift blame by gaslighting, manipulating, and lying without remorse.

“Nothing is ever their responsibility or their fault because for a narcissistic person to take responsibility or accept blame means having to accept that they are accountable and imperfect.”

There are varying levels of abusive behaviors outlined, some classified as “malignant narcissists.”

They malign people publicly, or harm their reputations. They are highly manipulative, transactional, and judge everyone based on how useful they are – whether for power, profits, pleasure, or validation. In the simplest framing, the malignant narcissist is a bully, mean and menacing…”

You will recognize the examples used in your own family or workplace relationships. You will also understand how often these behaviors happen and go unchecked in society. The focus is never really on the narcissistic, but more on the actions of the victims being abused.  Almost as if the victim has something wrong with them, despite the facts not adding up from narcissist’s manipulated account.

How Does It Happen?

If you are in an abusive relationship, the obvious answer is to leave. But it’s not always that simple. Dr. Durvasula provides examples where it’s just not possible to leave a job, marriage or other important relationship despite abuse. The victim talks themselves out of it, thinks THEY are the reason that these “bad things” are happening.

Victims routinely believe the manufactured and false narratives about what is taking place due to other silent and compliant people.  It boils down to trust. When those closest to you break that trust and know what’s really going on but do nothing, that’s your truth.

“In other words, narcissistic people make you feel small so they can feel safe.” 

These narcissists get something from their victims while “love bombing,” charming them, and prioritizing the relationship.  When the victim realizes what is actually going on and sets boundaries and reveals the truth, all hell breaks loose.  

“Hell, really hath no fury like a narcissist scorned. Their vindictive behavior may range from spreading damaging workplace gossip” to other more harmful and life threating outcomes.

Be warned, that stalking and public humiliation of their victims is quite commonplace for these individuals. Their tactics escalate when their victims pull away or start understanding the truth about past events. 

How to Protect Yourself 

There are many strategies discussed in the book to combat DARVO, or the common methods narcissists use.  (That’s a very useful chapter.) You should also try to distance yourself spiritually or physically from your abuser(s.) If you must stay in a relationship for work or family reasons, sound strategies are provided. These will help you heal and learn to deal with these negative people. As the author states, you will be better informed the next time you come across these individuals. And you most definitely will!

The healing that takes place when you know you’re not the crazy one is incredible. Narcissist behaviors happen daily to so many of us, but now you have a voice…an authentic voice.

Weekend in New York

Yellowstone Lake - Nature is rejuvenating
Wishing you calm and happiness this season

 

Looking for a holiday getaway or a quick trip in January?  A weekend in New York City might fill the bill as long as you dress warm!

Flights

To maximize our budget think about flying into a smaller neighboring airport such as Newark in New Jersey.  Even Long Island Airport in Islip is doable with the train station so close.  Planning your flight midweek or even on a Thursday will help with airfare and might be less crowded.

But even these days, my flights this year have all been full. Be prepared to have extra time checking in at TSA or think about signing up for Pre-Check or Clear to make security lines less of a hassle. (Some credit cards will also reimburse you for these and other services, so check with your card company.)

Sights of NYC

Be sure to secure your hotel or VRBO near a subway or train line. NYC’s mass transit system is one of the best in the United States.  Being within walking distance of Times Square, Central Park, and museums are the best “home bases” for your trip.

Plan your visits along the subway line so you don’t miss out on winter activities in New York. Ice skating at Rockefeller Center and the NYC Rockettes usually have audiences through January.  Don’t forget the standards such as The Metropolitan Museum or Museum of Modern Art for your art and history lovers. Lines might be long at MoMA, so check the website for hours and special events. At night with the Christmas lights is also a site to see and enjoy this time of year.

Food

Dining options are everywhere in New York. From fast food pizza to fine dining, you will have your pick for any budget. If you’re only in NYC for the weekend, maybe one or two “nice” dinners at an Italian eatery.

Then the next day, think about grabbing breakfast (some are still free) at your hotel or café to people watch. Asking the locals (at your activities) is one of the best ways to get reliable local restaurant and eatery recommendations.

Remember to be flexible with your travel companion and plans in general. You might want to think about extending a work trip to enjoy the sights. More people than ever are traveling and patience is needed to navigate trips these days.

Just enjoy the memories, photos, and last-minute trip flying off to New York.  Travel is the best way to experience new places, people, and cultures…so enjoy!

Canada This Fall

Sunflower from my garden this spring.
A bright sunflower growing in my front yard garden.

Visiting Canada this fall offers an extraordinary blend of vibrant foliage, crisp air, and a variety of activities in the country. Whether you’re a nature lover or just looking for a cultural getaway, Canada in the fall has something for everyone. Here’s a guide to the top provinces to visit, along with must-see sights and activities.

Quebec: Fall Foliage

Quebec is a prime destination for fall foliage. The Laurentian Mountains, just north of Montreal, offer breathtaking vistas of autumn leaves. Mont-Tremblant National Park is particularly popular for its hiking trails and panoramic views.

In Quebec City, the historic old town, with its cobblestone streets and European charm, is especially beautiful in the fall. Don’t miss the Plains of Abraham and Montmorency Falls, which provide stunning backdrops for autumn colors.

Ontario: Urban Landscapes to Natural Wonders

Ontario’s fall foliage is legendary, especially in Algonquin Provincial Park, where you can hike, canoe, and camp amidst a sea of red, orange, and yellow leaves. For a mix of urban and natural experiences, visit Toronto and take a day trip to the Niagara region.

The Niagara Parkway, often called one of the prettiest drives in the world, is spectacular in the fall. Also, explore the Bruce Peninsula and its rugged landscapes and clear waters.

British Columbia: Coastal Beauty

In British Columbia, the fall season offers a unique combination of coastal and mountainous beauty. Vancouver’s Stanley Park, with its seawall and towering trees, is a must-see.

Head to Whistler for world-class hiking and mountain biking against a vibrant backdrop of fall leaves. Vancouver Island, particularly around Victoria and the Cowichan Valley, showcases stunning autumn scenery with a milder climate. Butchart Gardens in Victoria is worth the visit, to see native plants and flowers during the season.

Nova Scotia: Scenic Drives

Nova Scotia’s Cabot Trail is often cited as one of the most beautiful drives in the world, especially in fall. This scenic highway loops around the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, offering breathtaking coastal views and endless autumn colors.

Halifax, with its rich maritime history and lively waterfront, is another great spot to explore. Don’t miss the picturesque towns of Lunenburg and Annapolis Royal.

Alberta: Majestic Mountains

In Alberta, the Canadian Rockies provide a stunning backdrop for fall adventures. Banff and Jasper National Parks are renowned for their dramatic landscapes and diverse wildlife. The Icefields Parkway, connecting Banff and Jasper, offers unparalleled views of mountains, glaciers, and vibrant fall colors.

Lake Louise, with its turquoise waters is a go to destination for many during the busier summer months. Banff is a must see on my travel list for the year.

This fall why not try Canada and its lovely scenery for your fall foliage fix! Happy travels.

Back to School

Graphic with the words Libraries are for Everyone

As summer draws to a close, the familiar routine of back to school calls. Whether you’re returning to elementary, high school, or college, being fully prepared is important for a successful year. But what does it mean to be prepared? It’s not just about having the right tablet or laptop; it’s also about being mentally, physically, and emotionally ready.

Mentally Prepared

Being mentally prepared is like training before a race—it’s the foundation upon which all other preparations rest. Mental readiness means a positive attitude, clear goals, and effective time management skills. When you approach the school year with a growth mindset, you’re better equipped to handle demands, setbacks, and deadlines.

Cultivating resilience and adaptability allows you to navigate any obstacles that may arise, turning them into opportunities for growth.

Physical Preparedness

Just as a well-tuned engine powers a car, physical preparedness fuels your body and mind for the educational journey ahead. This includes getting enough sleep, maintaining a balanced diet, and staying physically active. Adequate sleep is vital, as it enhances cognitive function, your memory, and mood regulation.

These are essential for effective learning. Similarly, nourishing your body with nutritious foods and staying hydrated provide the energy needed to excel in the classroom. Regular exercise not only boosts physical health but also improves mental clarity and reduces stress. This is setting the stage for your academic success.

Emotional Support

Emotional preparedness involves resilience and building a support network to weather the highs and lows of the school year. Acknowledge and validate your feelings, whether they’re excitement, anxiety, or uncertainty. Seek out supportive friends, family members, or mentors who can offer guidance and encouragement.

Developing healthy coping skills, such as mindfulness or journaling, can also help manage stress and promote emotional well-being. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help when you need it, and taking care of your mental health is just as important as your academic achievements.

Start the new school year off right by keeping your mind and body in tip top shape this year.

Labor Day’s History

Leadership written in blue and hand writing the word visible.

Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September, marks a key moment in American history. It’s not just the unofficial end of summer. This federal holiday honors the contributions of workers and the labor movement. This holiday symbolizing the economic and social achievements of American labor. The start of Labor Day can be traced to the 19th century, a time marked by industrialization and labor unrest.

Birth of Labor Day

The origins of Labor Day are rooted in the labor movement’s fight for fair working conditions during the late 1800s. During this time, workers faced grueling hours, unsafe working environments, and minimal pay. Labor unions began to form, supporting workers’ rights and organizing strikes and rallies to demand better conditions.

The first Labor Day parade took place on September 5, 1882, in New York City. Thousands of workers marched from City Hall to Union Square, carrying banners and flags to demonstrate solidarity. This event, seen as a great success, inspired unions across the country for a national holiday honoring all workers.

Federal Recognition
The push for a national holiday gained momentum, and states began to recognize Labor Day. Oregon was the first state to declare it an official holiday in 1887. Following Oregon’s lead, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York also adopted the holiday.

The federal government officially recognized Labor Day in 1894, following a significant labor conflict known as the Pullman Strike. The strike involved workers from the Pullman Company, a railroad car manufacturer. The workers from this company protested wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing.

The strike worsened, leading to nationwide railroad disruptions and violent clashes between workers and federal troops. In the aftermath, and as a peacemaking gesture toward the movement, President Cleveland signed legislation making Labor Day a holiday.

Modern Celebrations
Over time, Labor Day has evolved from its roots as a day of labor protest and activism to a broader celebration Today, it signifies the unofficial end of summer, marked by parades, barbecues, and family gatherings. However, its historical significance remains a reminder of the struggles and achievements of the American labor movement.

Labor Day also serves as a time to reflect on the ongoing challenges faced by workers. Issues such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and workers’ rights. Labor Day in the United States is a testament to the resilience and determination of the labor movement. From its origins in the late 19th century, it remains a powerful symbol of workers’ contributions to the nation’s progress.

Cruising 2024

Yellowstone Lake - Nature is rejuvenating
Wishing you calm and happiness this season

 

Are you dreaming of setting sail on a summer cruise without breaking the bank? Fear not—there are plenty of ways to find budget-friendly cruises. Here are some tried-and-true methods to help you find cruises this summer that won’t break your budget.

Plan Ahead

First, plan ahead and book early. Cruise lines often offer early booking discounts and special promotions for travelers who reserve their cabins in advance. By planning ahead and securing your cruise package early, you can lock in lower prices. You can also take advantage of early bird perks such as onboard credits, free upgrades, and discounted airfare.

Be Flexible

Be flexible with your travel dates and destinations. If you’re willing to be flexible with your schedule and open to exploring different cruises, you’ll have a better chance of finding options. Consider traveling during shoulder seasons or off-peak times when demand is lower.

This is the period cruise prices are more competitive. Additionally, be open to alternative embarkation ports and lesser-known cruise destinations. These may offer more affordable options compared to popular tourist hotspots on everyone’s list.

Promotions

Next, keep an eye out for last-minute deals and promotions. Cruise lines often offer significant discounts on unsold cabins in the weeks leading up to departure. Keep tabs on cruise line websites, travel booking platforms, and vacation sites. These provide last-minute deals and flash sales to fill up the ship. Signing up for email alerts and newsletters from cruise lines can also keep you updated on promotions and special offers.

Travel Agents/Cruise Specialists

Consider booking through a travel agent or cruise specialist. Yes, travel agents still exist and often have access to exclusive deals, group discounts, and special perks.  Additionally, they can provide expert advice and personalized recommendations to help you find the best cruise options within your budget. Check out YouTube for passenger recommendations on different cruise lines, and then use a cruise specialist to book with perks.

Another money-saving tip is to be strategic with onboard expenses. While the upfront cost of the cruise may be budget-friendly, onboard expenses such as drinks, dining, and excursions can quickly add up.

Look for cruise packages that include onboard credits, unlimited beverage packages, or discounted excursion bundles. These costs can add up, so save money on extras ahead of your cruise date. Some cruise lines will offer deeper discounts the closer your sailing date gets, so be aware and negotiate!

Finding inexpensive cruises this summer is possible with a little planning, flexibility, and resourcefulness. By booking early, staying flexible, and keeping an eye out for last-minute deals, you can get a bargain!  Pack your bags, grab your sunscreen, and get ready to embark on the summer cruise of your dreams—at a price you can afford!
