Masquerade Cookies, Caramel Apple Popcorn, Pumpkin Spice Popcorn and Pumpkin Pound Cake

FAMILY FEATURES

aunted with the thought of a ho-hum Halloween? Never fear — trick-or-treaters will want more than just candy once they see your party table. Throw a fabulous Halloween party fit for little goblins or grown-up monsters with some devilishly good sweets. Try these easy party ideas from Wilton to make your Halloween spook-tacular: n Add some “pop” to popcorn: Trick out ordinary popcorn into a sweet-and-salty party pleaser. Drizzle on Candy Melts® candy for festive flavors, and then capture the Halloween spirit by adding fun sprinkle mixes. n Masquerade cookies: Who says you can’t play with your food? Create edible masks with decorated shaped cookies and attach them to cookie sticks with melted Candy Melts candy. Set up a photo station at your party, so guests can take pictures with their cookie mask creations before eating them. n Jack-o’-lantern cakes: It wouldn’t be Halloween without carved pumpkins. Make yours edible by baking a delicious pumpkin spice pound cake shaped like a pumpkin. Increase the fun by adding silly icing facial features. n Midnight potions: Spice up the night with candy corn drinks served in containers guests can devour, making cleanup easy and delicious. Or, toast the night with the Witch’s Brew Mocktail. For more Halloween ideas and inspiration, visit wilton.com.

Servings: 2 dozen cookies 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons Imitation Clear Vanilla Extract 1/2 teaspoon Imitation Almond Extract Royal icing Orange, Black, Green, Lemon Yellow, Brown and Violet Icing Colors, as desired Orange, Yellow, Orange, Lavender and Black Colored Sugars, as desired Halloween Jimmies, Nonpareils and Icing Decorations, as desired Candy Melts candy Cookie sticks Preheat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. In second large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Add flour mixture to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Do not chill dough. Divide dough into 2 balls. On floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter by 1/8 inch thick. Dip eye and glasses cookie cutters in flour before each use. Arrange cookies on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8–11 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool completely on cooling grid.

Lawn Care Tips for Fall (Family Features) Taking time in the fall to prepare your lawn for the colder months ahead will pay dividends come spring and allow you to enjoy lusher, greener grass when temperatures rise again. Fertilizing: Providing nutrients to your lawn before cold weather strikes is good for strengthening roots and increasing the nutrients stored for an earlier spring green. While the top growth of grass stops, grass plants are storing nutrients and energy for the following season. To determine the best ratio of fertilizer for the soil in your yard, you should utilize a soil test. Otherwise, look for fertilizer with a nitrogen-phosphate-potassium (NPK) ratio of 3:1:2 or 4:1:2. When applying the fertilizer, make sure that you follow the application instructions and rate information on the package and use a calibrated spreader to apply the correct amount. It is also a good rule to apply the fertilizer in the fall about 2-3 weeks before the ground freezes so the plant can start to take up some of the nutrients. Instead of pacing the yard with a push spreader, consider a tow-behind spreader attached to your riding lawn mower or garden tractor. An attachment, such as a pull-type spin spreader from John Deere, can quickly distribute fertilizer evenly across your yard. Aerating: Aerating, the process of removing plugs of soil and thatch from the lawn, is ideal in cooler months. It encourages deep rooting, improves water and nutrient penetration, and promotes growth of beneficial soil microorganisms.&nbsp;There are a variety of techniques you can use to penetrate the soil such as spiked shoes or spray-on liquids, but to most effectively aerate soil, attach a dethatcher, or a plug aerator behind a riding mower or tractor to remove plugs of soil from two to three inches deep. Mulching: If you prefer not to rake or bag grass or leaves, mulching with a mower is an ideal alternative.&nbsp;Be sure to mulch leaves only when they are dry to avoid damp and wet leaves clumping or building up under mower decks. Remember that grass needs sunlight in the fall to help store food for winter, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until your lawn is completely matted down with leaves to mulch. A thin layer of mulched leaves is ideal and helps add nutrients to the soil, reducing the need for fertilizer. Selecting the right mower with mulching attachments or features can save a great deal of time and help ensure a consistent layer of mulch across the yard. For example, John Deere 100-Series lawn tractors have three-in-one mowing decks, which allow you to choose to mulch, bag or allow side-discharge. Composting: Creating a compost pile allows you to turn organic material into rich soil.&nbsp;The fall season is a good time to create a compost pile with decaying yard matter, such as vegetables, grass clippings and leaves, which can provide nutrient-rich soil for spring planting. For best results, alternate layers of â&#x20AC;&#x153;brown,â&#x20AC;? or high carbon materials, with grass clippings. Using a rear bagger with your lawn mower or tractor will help make collecting grass clippings a breeze, and adding to your compost pile is as simple as backing up to the spot and unloading. Another optional mower attachment, the lawn sweeper, brushes leaves into a hamper, much like a broom and dustpan. Taking these steps will prepare your lawn for the winter and help it come back strong, healthy and beautiful in the spring.

Drowning Numbers...

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury and death worldwide 2013. 10 drowning deaths per day in the United States Nearly 80% of people who die from drowning are male and 20% female. Drowning is responsbile for more deaths among children (Ages 1-4) than any other cause except birth defects. Drowning remains the second leading cause of unintentional accidental deaths behind motor vehicle crashes for two categories: children ages 1-4 and teenagers 15-19 yrs.

Take Control with Infant Aquatics

Children are naturally drawn to pools, hot tubs, lakes, ponds, streams, reservoirs and beaches. Despite a parent’s best efforts at supervision, it only takes one head turn before an accident has occurred! The ability to float and breathe, regardless of the water’s depth, for an indefinite period of time remains the top goal of our programs. Not just being comfortable in the water, it’s being able to swim and survive. Empower your child with the skills needed to safely enjoy the water. We have continuous programs to keep the abilities fresh in your mind and fresh in your child’s ability. • Constant Supervision and Swim in Pairs • Recent studies show that education, swim lessons and drowning prevention can save lives 19

“I’ve been advertising in KC Homes/KCHome Lifestyle magazine for many years. During the last few tough years, it continued to be a great value when marketing my listings. I’ve received many leads over the years from the magazine and its associated online presence... It gives me an edge when interviewing with Sellers. I’m excited about the recent changes they’ve made in the magazine, and I believe their new look will bring new appeal to the magazine, and carry them into the future as still a great value and a great means of advertising for agents that want to reach more potential buyers.” Julie Deppen Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc.

“Recently, Gwen Kemper was selected to market a property because this particular lady knew we advertised in the KCHOME and Lifestyle.  In fact, she pulled out a recent issue to comment on our advertising and said she liked the fact that we did not just advertise on the Internet.  Her home featured on the front cover and sold within a short time.” Micki Trotter/Gwen Kemper of Woodward Real Estate “18 years ago I started my career in real estate.  KCHOME and Lifestyle evolved and our listings are distributed by the magazine to hundreds of websites world wide and we get a lot of leads from these websites.  To this day, people instinctively pick up the KCHOME and Lifestyle magazine at the grocery store, and we still receive calls daily from those house hunters.”

“KCHOME and Lifestyle has been a great partner through the years. Always helpful.” Martin & MaryJo Ricono of Reece&Nichols Lee’s Summit
