FES MAKES THE LIST! >>>> no. 1,252 WHAT IS INC.? Inc. is an American weekly magazine which publishes about small businesses and startups. The magazine publishes annual lists of the 500 and 5000 fastest-growing privately held small companies in the U.S., called the “Inc. 500” and “Inc. 5000”. It was founded in 1979[3] and is based in New York City. The Inc. 500 is an annual list of the 500 fastestgrowing private companies in the United States, introduced in 1982. The Inc. 5000 is an expansion of the Inc. 500, which ranks the country’s top 5000 fastest-growing private companies and also features a special ranking of the top 10% of the list as the Inc. 500.

In its first issue in 1979, Inc. magazine published the Inc. 100, a list of the fastest-growing publicly held small companies; in 1982, the list was expanded to become the Inc. 500, and in 2007, it was expanded again to become the Inc. 5000. The Inc. 500 | 5000 Conference and Awards Ceremony is an annual event that promotes the list publication.

HOW DID WE GET SELECTED? From thousands of businesses that apply to be considered for awards and ranking, FES submitted an application that requires answering extensive questions about the business, while offering financial back-up and proof of what we claim in the answers. After months of review not only did we make the top 5000 private businesses in America, we ranked on the top half! Definitely an accomplishment to be proud of!

TELL US ABOUT SOMEONE YOU REALLY ADMIRE I actually admired Princess Diana, I was a Nanny in my late teens, also very skinny, had her identical haircut and people use to tell me I looked just like her so I related to her in a way. There was a time when I was very quiet & shy (yes hard to believe). She was a remarkable women, humanitarian, treated people with such respect and kindness. If I didn’t have to work I would devote my time to the Wounded Warrior Charity. 4. IS THERE A DOCUMENTARY OR BOOK THAT REALLY CHANGED THE WAY YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING?

DEAD VELVET CAKE

I NG RE DI E NTS • 1 box Red Velvet cake, plus ingredients called for on box • 2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened • 1 stick butter, softened • 2 1/4 c. powdered sugar • 1 tsp. vanilla extract • 1/2 c. cold water • 2 tbsp. cornstarch • 1/2 c. light corn syrup • 1 tsp. vanilla extract • Red food coloring

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350º and butter and flour two 9” cake pans. Prepare red velvet cake batter according to box directions. Divide between two cake pans and bake according to instructions. 2. Make cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, then add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until combined. 3. Make “blood”: in a small saucepan, stir together water and cornstarch until fully combined. Turn on heat to medium and pour in corn syrup. Let simmer and stir frequently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and red food coloring. 4. Place bottom cake on a cake plate and trim the dome of the cake. Add “blood” to the top layer, just enough to dampen the cake. Cut the dome off the second cake and place upside down on the bottom layer of cake. 5. Frost the entire outside of the cake with cream cheese frosting, making sure to make an extra smooth layer on top. Pour “blood” on the top and allow some to drip down the sides. Serve.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

I NG RE DI E NTS For the topping: • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour • 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs • 1 teaspoon kosher salt • Nonstick cooking spray

DIRECTIONS

For beans and sauce: • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided • 1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed, trimmed and halved • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 12 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/2- inch pieces • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour • 1 cup chicken broth

1. Preheat the oven to 47° F. 2. Combine onions, flour, panko & salt in a large mixing bowl & toss to combine. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and evenly spread the onions on the pan. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown (about 30 minutes). Toss the onions 2-3 times during cooking. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use. Turn the oven down to 400° F. 3. While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-qt saucepan. Add the beans & blanch for 5 minutes. Drain them & immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside. 4. Melt butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper & cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic & nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth & simmer for 1 minute. Decrease the heat to medium-low & add the half-and-half. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally (6-8 minutes). 5. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Top with the remaining onions. Place into the oven and bake until bubbly (15 minutes). Remove and serve immediately.
