4 December 11 2015 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 3 Supplement to Gold Country Media

BY JAIME CARRILLO

Much like booze religion andthe sandwich nearly every cul-ture around the globe has a takeon the plump jolly gift-giver whose image in the US waspopularized by the noted car-toonist Thomas Nast

For a guy with universalappeal there are countlessinterpretations of him fromRoseville to Reykjavik Most

encompass the Saint the holi-day deserves Others are justplain nightmare fodder Hereare a few of the most notableClauses

La Befana ndash Italyrsquos Christmasdeity isnrsquot man or a saint itrsquos a witch La Befana reeks more of Halloween than of Yuletide rid-ing around on a broomstick leaving figs and nuts in thesocks of good children and coalin the socks of naughty onesDonrsquot leave cookies out forBefana shersquod much prefer aglass of your finest claret Orany wine really She has a bit of a problem Itrsquos a blessing shersquosnot handling 12 reindeer

Sinterklaus ndash This interpreta-tion is based primarily on SaintNicholas and is loved by chil-dren in the Netherlands Start-ing on Dec 6 he starts hismonth long gift-giving duties a

much wider berth than the sin-gle night state-side Santa getsHowever underneath the rosy cheeks and electric-red winterrobe lies the heart of a stone-cold monster Sinterklausemploys a helper by the nameof Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) whohandles all the unfortunates onthe naughty list Like a regularTony Soprano Klaus instructsPiet to lash bad boys and girls with branches of Birchwood

Because if yoursquore going to lay down the hammer during theseason you might as well makeit festive with the seasonrsquosfavorite kindling The naughti-

est among children are draggedinto Pietrsquos sack and dragged toSpain After dealing with Klausrsquoscapo Barcelona would franklybe a welcome respite

The Three Kings ndash All acrossLatin countries children eager-

ly wait for Jan 6 for a second wind of gift giving Children areinstructed to leave gift requestsinside their shoes that will befulfilled by the three Kings of

Biblical lore the same wise menthat brought gifts for the Son of Manrsquos birth A great tradition tobe sure but itrsquos unlikely eventhe most profound biblicalscholars can explain how shoesfit into the Kingsrsquo pilgrimage

Yulemen ndash Iceland doesnrsquothave one Santa it has 13 Thisveritable rogues gallery works inshifts throughout Dec and early January Members of the rag tag

gift-giving troupe include ldquoPotScraperrdquo who is way too intoleftovers and ldquoCandle-Stealerrdquo who does exactly what youthink he does The Ringorsquos of thisband can be easily found inldquoSheep-Cote Clodrdquo who is peg legged and harasses sheep andldquoWindow-Peeperrdquo who is likely on more than one government watch list

Krampus ndash Be afraid alpine

children Be very afraid Kram-pus is the holiday seasonrsquospatron demon a monster bornout of Medieval child-rearing inparts of Austria Hungary and

Germany Krampus the long-horned Christmas goblin visitsnaughty children and beatsthem with birch rods just likeBlack Peter If theyrsquore lucky Theespecially naughty are dumpedinto sacks and not sent toSpain but to sleep with the fish-es On Dec 5 Krampus fills allnearby bodies of water withburlap stuffed with miscreantsa deterrent that strikes fear into

children the whole yearthrough

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

4 December 11 2015 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 3 Supplement to Gold Country Media

BY JAIME CARRILLO

Much like booze religion andthe sandwich nearly every cul-ture around the globe has a takeon the plump jolly gift-giver whose image in the US waspopularized by the noted car-toonist Thomas Nast

For a guy with universalappeal there are countlessinterpretations of him fromRoseville to Reykjavik Most

encompass the Saint the holi-day deserves Others are justplain nightmare fodder Hereare a few of the most notableClauses

La Befana ndash Italyrsquos Christmasdeity isnrsquot man or a saint itrsquos a witch La Befana reeks more of Halloween than of Yuletide rid-ing around on a broomstick leaving figs and nuts in thesocks of good children and coalin the socks of naughty onesDonrsquot leave cookies out forBefana shersquod much prefer aglass of your finest claret Orany wine really She has a bit of a problem Itrsquos a blessing shersquosnot handling 12 reindeer

Sinterklaus ndash This interpreta-tion is based primarily on SaintNicholas and is loved by chil-dren in the Netherlands Start-ing on Dec 6 he starts hismonth long gift-giving duties a

much wider berth than the sin-gle night state-side Santa getsHowever underneath the rosy cheeks and electric-red winterrobe lies the heart of a stone-cold monster Sinterklausemploys a helper by the nameof Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) whohandles all the unfortunates onthe naughty list Like a regularTony Soprano Klaus instructsPiet to lash bad boys and girls with branches of Birchwood

Because if yoursquore going to lay down the hammer during theseason you might as well makeit festive with the seasonrsquosfavorite kindling The naughti-

est among children are draggedinto Pietrsquos sack and dragged toSpain After dealing with Klausrsquoscapo Barcelona would franklybe a welcome respite

The Three Kings ndash All acrossLatin countries children eager-

ly wait for Jan 6 for a second wind of gift giving Children areinstructed to leave gift requestsinside their shoes that will befulfilled by the three Kings of

Biblical lore the same wise menthat brought gifts for the Son of Manrsquos birth A great tradition tobe sure but itrsquos unlikely eventhe most profound biblicalscholars can explain how shoesfit into the Kingsrsquo pilgrimage

Yulemen ndash Iceland doesnrsquothave one Santa it has 13 Thisveritable rogues gallery works inshifts throughout Dec and early January Members of the rag tag

gift-giving troupe include ldquoPotScraperrdquo who is way too intoleftovers and ldquoCandle-Stealerrdquo who does exactly what youthink he does The Ringorsquos of thisband can be easily found inldquoSheep-Cote Clodrdquo who is peg legged and harasses sheep andldquoWindow-Peeperrdquo who is likely on more than one government watch list

Krampus ndash Be afraid alpine

children Be very afraid Kram-pus is the holiday seasonrsquospatron demon a monster bornout of Medieval child-rearing inparts of Austria Hungary and

Germany Krampus the long-horned Christmas goblin visitsnaughty children and beatsthem with birch rods just likeBlack Peter If theyrsquore lucky Theespecially naughty are dumpedinto sacks and not sent toSpain but to sleep with the fish-es On Dec 5 Krampus fills allnearby bodies of water withburlap stuffed with miscreantsa deterrent that strikes fear into

children the whole yearthrough

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

4 December 11 2015 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 3 Supplement to Gold Country Media

BY JAIME CARRILLO

Much like booze religion andthe sandwich nearly every cul-ture around the globe has a takeon the plump jolly gift-giver whose image in the US waspopularized by the noted car-toonist Thomas Nast

For a guy with universalappeal there are countlessinterpretations of him fromRoseville to Reykjavik Most

encompass the Saint the holi-day deserves Others are justplain nightmare fodder Hereare a few of the most notableClauses

La Befana ndash Italyrsquos Christmasdeity isnrsquot man or a saint itrsquos a witch La Befana reeks more of Halloween than of Yuletide rid-ing around on a broomstick leaving figs and nuts in thesocks of good children and coalin the socks of naughty onesDonrsquot leave cookies out forBefana shersquod much prefer aglass of your finest claret Orany wine really She has a bit of a problem Itrsquos a blessing shersquosnot handling 12 reindeer

Sinterklaus ndash This interpreta-tion is based primarily on SaintNicholas and is loved by chil-dren in the Netherlands Start-ing on Dec 6 he starts hismonth long gift-giving duties a

much wider berth than the sin-gle night state-side Santa getsHowever underneath the rosy cheeks and electric-red winterrobe lies the heart of a stone-cold monster Sinterklausemploys a helper by the nameof Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) whohandles all the unfortunates onthe naughty list Like a regularTony Soprano Klaus instructsPiet to lash bad boys and girls with branches of Birchwood

Because if yoursquore going to lay down the hammer during theseason you might as well makeit festive with the seasonrsquosfavorite kindling The naughti-

est among children are draggedinto Pietrsquos sack and dragged toSpain After dealing with Klausrsquoscapo Barcelona would franklybe a welcome respite

The Three Kings ndash All acrossLatin countries children eager-

ly wait for Jan 6 for a second wind of gift giving Children areinstructed to leave gift requestsinside their shoes that will befulfilled by the three Kings of

Biblical lore the same wise menthat brought gifts for the Son of Manrsquos birth A great tradition tobe sure but itrsquos unlikely eventhe most profound biblicalscholars can explain how shoesfit into the Kingsrsquo pilgrimage

Yulemen ndash Iceland doesnrsquothave one Santa it has 13 Thisveritable rogues gallery works inshifts throughout Dec and early January Members of the rag tag

gift-giving troupe include ldquoPotScraperrdquo who is way too intoleftovers and ldquoCandle-Stealerrdquo who does exactly what youthink he does The Ringorsquos of thisband can be easily found inldquoSheep-Cote Clodrdquo who is peg legged and harasses sheep andldquoWindow-Peeperrdquo who is likely on more than one government watch list

Krampus ndash Be afraid alpine

children Be very afraid Kram-pus is the holiday seasonrsquospatron demon a monster bornout of Medieval child-rearing inparts of Austria Hungary and

Germany Krampus the long-horned Christmas goblin visitsnaughty children and beatsthem with birch rods just likeBlack Peter If theyrsquore lucky Theespecially naughty are dumpedinto sacks and not sent toSpain but to sleep with the fish-es On Dec 5 Krampus fills allnearby bodies of water withburlap stuffed with miscreantsa deterrent that strikes fear into

children the whole yearthrough

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

4 December 11 2015 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 3 Supplement to Gold Country Media

BY JAIME CARRILLO

Much like booze religion andthe sandwich nearly every cul-ture around the globe has a takeon the plump jolly gift-giver whose image in the US waspopularized by the noted car-toonist Thomas Nast

For a guy with universalappeal there are countlessinterpretations of him fromRoseville to Reykjavik Most

encompass the Saint the holi-day deserves Others are justplain nightmare fodder Hereare a few of the most notableClauses

La Befana ndash Italyrsquos Christmasdeity isnrsquot man or a saint itrsquos a witch La Befana reeks more of Halloween than of Yuletide rid-ing around on a broomstick leaving figs and nuts in thesocks of good children and coalin the socks of naughty onesDonrsquot leave cookies out forBefana shersquod much prefer aglass of your finest claret Orany wine really She has a bit of a problem Itrsquos a blessing shersquosnot handling 12 reindeer

Sinterklaus ndash This interpreta-tion is based primarily on SaintNicholas and is loved by chil-dren in the Netherlands Start-ing on Dec 6 he starts hismonth long gift-giving duties a

much wider berth than the sin-gle night state-side Santa getsHowever underneath the rosy cheeks and electric-red winterrobe lies the heart of a stone-cold monster Sinterklausemploys a helper by the nameof Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) whohandles all the unfortunates onthe naughty list Like a regularTony Soprano Klaus instructsPiet to lash bad boys and girls with branches of Birchwood

Because if yoursquore going to lay down the hammer during theseason you might as well makeit festive with the seasonrsquosfavorite kindling The naughti-

est among children are draggedinto Pietrsquos sack and dragged toSpain After dealing with Klausrsquoscapo Barcelona would franklybe a welcome respite

The Three Kings ndash All acrossLatin countries children eager-

ly wait for Jan 6 for a second wind of gift giving Children areinstructed to leave gift requestsinside their shoes that will befulfilled by the three Kings of

Biblical lore the same wise menthat brought gifts for the Son of Manrsquos birth A great tradition tobe sure but itrsquos unlikely eventhe most profound biblicalscholars can explain how shoesfit into the Kingsrsquo pilgrimage

Yulemen ndash Iceland doesnrsquothave one Santa it has 13 Thisveritable rogues gallery works inshifts throughout Dec and early January Members of the rag tag

gift-giving troupe include ldquoPotScraperrdquo who is way too intoleftovers and ldquoCandle-Stealerrdquo who does exactly what youthink he does The Ringorsquos of thisband can be easily found inldquoSheep-Cote Clodrdquo who is peg legged and harasses sheep andldquoWindow-Peeperrdquo who is likely on more than one government watch list

Krampus ndash Be afraid alpine

children Be very afraid Kram-pus is the holiday seasonrsquospatron demon a monster bornout of Medieval child-rearing inparts of Austria Hungary and

Germany Krampus the long-horned Christmas goblin visitsnaughty children and beatsthem with birch rods just likeBlack Peter If theyrsquore lucky Theespecially naughty are dumpedinto sacks and not sent toSpain but to sleep with the fish-es On Dec 5 Krampus fills allnearby bodies of water withburlap stuffed with miscreantsa deterrent that strikes fear into

children the whole yearthrough

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

The holiday season ischaotic enough with-out the added stress of

entertaining Whether youopen your house to family and friends or attend par-ties hosted by others thisseason these tips will help

you keep tensions low andstomachs full wherever

you celebrate

Dont show upempty-handed

Although the invitationdidnrsquot specifically say to

bring a gift donrsquot let thatbe your excuse to show upempty-handed to yourfamily or friendsrsquo holiday festivities Host gifts dontneed to break the bankDo a little research about

what your host wouldenjoy

You donrsquot have to spenda pretty penny mdash justenough to show your host

you appreciate all of thehard work and money putin to hosting the party

Your thoughtfulness willnot go overlooked

Save timeand money witha holiday potluck

When you are the hostinstead of trying to do it alllook to your guests to helpbuild the perfect holiday

party menu Itrsquos customary for the host to supply themain dish and beverages

while the guests bring therest

To ensure your potluck doesnrsquot turn out to be allcookies and pie create a

sign-up sheet for appetiz-ers side dishes and des-serts That way people getto choose what to bringbut yoursquoll have an evenassortment of deliciousfood to go around

Add an element of com-petition by allowing yourguests to vote for theirfavorite dish of the night

Try not to

overindulgeDuring the holiday sea-

son itrsquos easy to get carriedaway with heavy entreesand sweet treats as veg-etable side dishes fall to the

wayside Instead opt for adish that feels indulgenteven though itrsquos filled withgreens and naturally goodseasonal ingredients

This recipe for AppleGouda and Farro Saladfrom the blog Two Peasand Their Pod is a deli-cious healthy and hearty addition to any holiday spread Itrsquos the ultimatecold-weather salad full of flavor and textures fromthe apple slices Goudabits farro toasted walnutsdried cranberries and asimple apple cider vinai-grette Plus it takes only

minutes to throw togethermaking it the perfect time-saving side dish
