’Twas Closing Time ’Twas the week before Christmas, we were closing on the house, everyone was happy, even the mouse. The papers were ready, prepared with great care, the buyers and sellers soon would be there. The roads were all glistening,with new fallen snow, the problems would be many, if the wind should blow. However, no worry, our First Weber agent had arrived, satisfaction of her clients was for what she had strived. The closing took place without a hitch, even with bad roads no one slid in the ditch. Now ’tis Christmas and all through the house, the buyers are happy, even the mouse. The sellers are delighted, they were handled with care, their money is invested, with some to spare. The moral of the story, I’ll try to rhyme, remember this, as I’ll tell you one time. No matter the month, the day or the year, just give a call
Deanna Lentz at First Weber Group, will give you her all!

Cedar Creek Settlement 150 Years in the Making In 1864, three rugged pioneers led by Diedrich Wittenberg built a three-story stone mill to capitalize on the demand for wool products brought on by the Civil War. The building and dam were built entirely by hand from stones removed from the creek bed and nearby quarries and huge tamarack timbers cut from the extensive bogs that covered the area. The rushing waters of Cedar Creek were channeled down a mill race and though an open-flume waterwheel. The 50 horsepower that the creek generated ran 21 looms and knitting machines, which
converted the heavy Wisconsin wool into the best quality yarns, blankets and worsted flannels. The mill had the first electricity in Cedarburg. In 1897 a water-powered generator was installed which provided electric power for the mill and the owner’s nearby homes. In 1971, Jim and Sandra Pape saved the boarded-up mill from the wrecking ball and a future as a parking lot. Realizing a dream, the two entrepreneurs combined their interests in historic preservation, winemaking, art and antiques and
WISCONSIN COUNTRY LIFE
Holiday 2014
renovated the mill into a working winery and a group of owner-operated shops and studios. The 1864 mill and adjacent buildings at the corner of Washington Avenue and Bridge Road have become known as The Shops of Cedar Creek Settlement. Today more than 25 specialty shops, including clothing and antique shops, boutiques, artists’ studios, three charming restaurants and the award-winning Cedar Creek Winery make up this historic Village of Shops listed on the National Register of Historic Places. www.cedarcreeksettlement.com n 11

Taste of Country Life
Turkey Transformations
Deliciously unique leftover ideas After the big day has come and gone, most holiday hosts find themselves still talking turkey. What to do with all that leftover bird? During the long weekend following the holiday, you can put those leftovers to good use. Recipes that incorporate turkey in deliciously unique ways will help you use up those leftovers and clear out the fridge before you know it. To ensure the tastiest dishes you can feel good about serving your loved ones, look for the USDA-verified seal on your turkey’s packaging to know that your turkey was raised with no growthpromoting antibiotics by farmers who care. One good option: Honeysuckle White, the first major turkey brand to supply turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics and without charging a premium price. For more recipes and preparation tips, visit www.honeysucklewhite.com. Holiday Minis Servings: 48 pieces Prep time: 15 minutes Bake time: 15-20 minutes 1 pound (or 3 cups) chopped
Honeysuckle White turkey (dark and white meat) 1 package (14 ounces) cornbread stuffing mix 1 jar (16 ounces) turkey gravy 1 can (6 ounces) cranberry sauce with whole cranberries Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin pans (as many as needed to make 48 bites) with nonstick cooking spray. Chop freshly cooked or leftover turkey into 1/4-inch pieces. In large bowl, prepare stuffing mix as directed on package. Add turkey to stuffing mixture. Stir in 1 cup turkey gravy. Mixture should hold together when spooned into a ball. If mixture is too dry, add more gravy by tablespoons until correct consistency is achieved. Spoon stuffing mixture into muffin pan, filling each cavity full, and then pressing mixture down to level top of each bite. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Remove from pan and garnish each bite with cranberry sauce. Additional gravy may be heated and served on side as dipping sauce. WISCONSIN COUNTRY LIFE

Stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice. Split croissants and place generous helping of turkey salad on bottom half of each, top with remaining half and serve. To toast pine nuts: Place nuts in dry skillet in single layer and toast over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent burning. Because pine nuts can burn easily, it is a good idea to watch until they are golden and fragrant, which means they are toasted.

Frosted Christmas The magic of the holiday season is captured in the glitter of this frosted winter arrangement, created with everlasting greens and florals. Monches Farm’s floral designers Johanna Kleckner and Sue Morgan have been creating floral art for more than 25 years. They would be happy to work with you to create a custom piece for your home using your design colors and reflecting your personal style. Call them at Monches Farm at 262-966-2787 for a consultation. To create this piece Sue used (all materials are everlasting/artificial): black iron urn or similar container 1 block of dry floral foam 5 stems green spruce 5 stems frosted short needle pine 3 stems frosted long needle pine 3 stems frosted red flowers 1 large frosted cedar stem 3 stems red berries 3 stems frosted pine cones 3 stems frosted white balls Start by securing your floral foam into the vase. Then, begin your arrangement by creating the outline with the green spruce and frosted pine stems. Finally, add the floral stems, berries, cones and frosted elements throughout the evergreens, cutting the stems to different lengths to create depth. It just that easy to create your own beautiful everlasting winter arrangement. n Photos by Stonehill Studio

3 eggs 1/2 cup low-fat milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper 1 cup grated Swiss cheese 1 (9-inch) pie crust, unbaked Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Saute onion, pepper and garlic over medium heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Add turkey and thawed spinach (squeeze out moisture) and saute 1 minute or until all ingredients are heated through. Remove from heat. In mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese into bottom of pie shell. Layer turkey, vegetable and spinach mixture on top of cheese. Pour egg mixture over top. Bake approximately 50 minutes, or until center is set. Quality Starts on the Farm Darrell Glaser, a sixth-generation farmer from Texas, along with his mother, Jeannette, and wife, Shannon, started raising turkeys more than 20 years ago. Today, his four sons also help on the family’s farm. “We do everything we can to produce a quality product that other families would be comfortable eating during the holidays,” Glaser said. Glaser, who has raised nearly 14 million turkeys, says this starts with keeping the birds healthy and comfortable. “We take really good care to ensure the environment is just right for our turkeys. This includes keeping the floors of our barns dry and making sure the birds have plenty of fresh air and good quality water and feed,” Glaser said. Glaser says if turkeys are happy and comfortable, they are generally healthy, which reduces the need to prescribe medicine, like antibiotics. Glaser and his family are one of more than 700 independent farm families who are raising turkeys for Honeysuckle White without using growth-promoting antibiotics. “We feed America and want to provide a quality food source for our customers,” Glaser said. “With consumers more concerned about their food, if we can produce wholesome turkey without growthpromoting antibiotics, then we should.” n
