NOVEMBER

EDITORS NOTE Tis the Season! Regardless what holiday you celebrate this December, there’s bound to be plenty of family and luscious food and libations. More so than ever, this is the year to celebrate and reunite with family.

The holidays for myself has always been about gatherings. Whether it’s Christmas Eve, a random night during the holiday week or New Year’s Eve, my fridge is overflowing with a variety of cheeses, meats, and appetizers. Not to mention, a pantry and freezer filled with sweet treats.

CON TE NTS

This Holiday season we invite you to join us for the 12 Days of Giveaways on Instagram.

We have over $1,000 in prizes to giveaway from local retailers, restaurants and commercial brands.

To close, I’d like to wish all of our readers, contributors, and advertisers the happiest of holidays. May 2023 bring you and your family health, happiness, and much prosperity.

NOTE: In our previous issue of Locale, regrettably, we did not include contact details for Four Fathers Brewing Ivy Loft. I want to encourage everyone to follow @ivloftatfourfathers on Instagram and Facebook to learn more about their beautiful event space.

Til Next Time,

-Trina Stewart

GETTING CREATIVE WITH

Planning Family Holidays THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING SOON, AND TRYING TO PLAN FOR FAMILY GET TOGETHERS CAN BE STRESSFUL! NO MATTER HOW HECTIC LIFE GETS FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES, IT’S IMPORTANT TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE THAT TIME TO BE TOGETHER. HERE ARE SOME IDEAS TO MAKE SOME NEW AND EASY TRADITIONS PART OF YOUR HOLIDAY GATHERINGS.

Julie D. Martin Real Estate Broker

Making time…

Different Locations...

Time is not something we can manufacture, and it also isn’t something we can get back once it has passed. The phrase “making time” should probably be “setting aside time” or “prioritizing time” instead.

I recommend trying to alternate homes every holiday so holiday planning doesn’t fall on one to two family member’s shoulders. Also, plan a potluck where the whole family is expected to bring a specific item.

So how do we prioritize our time?

I recommend setting a date in stone, well ahead of the holidays, like the Saturday before Christmas so that every Christmas Season your family knows to schedule other plans accordingly. Unfortunately, one must expect that not everyone can make it to your family gathering and that is understandable.

Gift Giving...

Some ideas for gift giving can be...

• The guys get a gift for a guy and the girls will get a gift for a girl and each group does a secret santa draw.

• Each person picks a name out of a hat and get a gift for the person they picked.

• Set a theme for the gifts! Some examples can be gift cards, liquids, food and so on.

We’ve decided that instead of all of the siblings voting on how we want our gift exchange to go every year that each one will have their own year to plan it for all.

I’ve talked to many others who also have some great ideas for holiday gatherings to keep it exciting and less work for one household. Here are a few ideas: • Meet at a restaurant! If your holiday is scheduled with an overload of dinner engagements, go for brunch instead!

• Choose to opt out on gifts and give to a charity.

• Have a night filled with delicious appetizers rather than a large meal.

• Skip tradition and plan a family activity like skating, bowling, or do a sleigh ride!

TIME ISN’T SOMETHING WE’RE PROMISED, SO MAKE THE MOST OF THE TIME WERE GIVEN AS EACH AND EVERY DAY IS PRECIOUS. HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO CELEBRATE YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY, MAKE IT A TIME THAT IS FULL OF MEMORIES THAT YOU CAN CHERISH. HAPPY PLANNING! AND MOST IMPORTANT

Happy Holidays!

Your Home It’s that time of year again where we get to share with our families, friends & clients the appreciation for all of your continued support. This year has been an unpredictable year in Real Estate with the continuous rise of the interest rates which has caused a downturn and a shift towards what we are seeing as a slowly shifting transition into a Buyer’s Market. Yes, one can say that during the pandemic we had an incredible time with home sales and prices increasing at a rapid pace, however, due to rising economic costs, it was bound to take somewhat of a turn. We can say that due to our strong marketing and constant branding as a preferred referral partner, our brand has kept us on the forefront in the minds of our clients and we continued to create another banner year of sales within our Real Estate Market. Once again, we can share our humble appreciation to all of our amazing clients, family & friends for putting their trust in The Riz Team. This year we did surpass all of our expectations and we celebrate yet another year as a Top Tier Team at Royal LePage Wolle Realty, Brokerage. We are honored this year to be awarded a highly coveted & new Royal LePage Distinction award – The Royal LePage Executive Circle Award which covets us within the Top Tier Category of realtors among 20,000+ Elite Sales Representatives across Canada throughout Royal LePage, along with the highest honorary Distinction, The Royal LePage Canada Lifetime Award of Excellence, which is presented to members attaining President’s Gold or higher 10 out of fourteen consecutive years. These highly acclaimed achievements can only be achieved with the trust & confidence our clients have put towards us over the last 18 years along

SOLD.

with the numerous referrals & partnerships we have created. As The Riz Team continues to grow, I would once again like to convey my humble appreciation & gratitude to my team colleague Nicole Shantz, who has continued to reach new heights with an incredible year of sales following the guidance & mentorship within the Team.

Nicole’s commitment and professionalism has exceeded our expectations and she continues to create new goal setting measures; The bar has been raised for 2023 as she celebrates 7 years on The Riz Team. Dylan McComiskey has also had a super year and continues to set higher achievements and goals for the next calendar year. This year we also had a new addition to the team, Maggie Dorscht, who is one of our past clients and a family friend. We highly look forward to seeing what’s in store for Maggie as we embark on another great year ahead. Also wanted to convey my deep gratitude to our Broker of Record Mark Wolle & his wife Jennifer Wolle for all of their continued support throughout the year & beyond.

I would be a miss not to thank my lovely wife Charmaine, who continues to be my support anchor along with my entire family. On behalf of all of us, at The Riz Team including our respective families, I want to wish you and yours the best of this holiday season with prayers for continued good health, and lots of peace & joy for the holidays along with a prosperous new year of 2023.

Referrals are the livelihood of our business model thus, we continue to humbly request from you the referral of your friends, family and associates who are looking to buy or sell in 2023, with an effort to continue the relationships that we have shared.

Sincerely,

A Winter Wonderland AT YOUR FRONT DOOR

you have purchased a new urn, fill it approximately ¾ full of fresh soil. The soil makes it easy to position your plants and décor where you want them to be.

Shauna Lynn Simon Beyond The Stage Homes

When we think about the holidays, we think about hot cocoa with marshmallows, eggnog, mistletoes, playing in the snow, building gingerbread houses, and so many traditions that this magical season represents.

The holidays are a time for families to re-unite, and for friends to come together to celebrate the season. What better way to welcome them to your home then with a festive scene at your front door. Seasonal planters are a great way to elevate your home’s exterior look and feel without spending a lot of money.

Our team has gathered their best tips to create showstopping planters that will last all winter long!

It all starts with the right planter. Think of the urn as the foundation of your exterior decoration. If you never leave your entranceway bare and love decorating it with fresh décor from one season to the next, consider investing in a good-quality urn. There are three key factors to a good urn: proper scale, timeless design, and good drainage with the ability to withstand hot summer sun and snowy winters for years to come.

If you are using a planter that you have used for previous seasons, bring it indoors for a few days to ensure that the soil has thoroughly thawed. If

42

Next, it’s time to select your plants. To ensure that your arrangement stands up to the test of our frigid Canadian winters, it is important to select the right plants.

Plan your theme before you go shopping to help to guide you with your selection of colours, accents, and assortment of greens. Long needle pine branches are resilient, and cascade nicely over the edges of the planter, making them an ideal option. Whatever you choose, remember to give them a good drink of water and you won’t have to think about them until April!

For added interest, incorporate magnolia or other decorative stems, catchy signs, or some birch. These are durable and are available in a variety of options.

To install your selected items, insert the big and tall items first, keeping the tallest items towards the back of your planter and working your way to the front with the smaller items. Check for any exposed areas and add filler as needed to avoid gaps, especially around the edges. Cascade your cedars and pines over the edges last.

To finalize your holiday décor, place your winter urn at the desired location! Personalize with some additional décor to compliment your winter urns and give your entranceway a beautiful and magical look for the season!

We would love to see what you created for your home! Use the #BTSHomesPlusHoliday on your social media posts and have a warm and happy holiday season!

HANDLING YOUR FIRST HOLIDAY SEASON ALONE Maggie Horsburgh Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE)TM

How do you get through your first holiday season while embarking on your new journey? I can’t begin to tell you how to survive your own first Christmas, but I hope I can offer a few suggestions to lessen the pain and the fear of the unfamiliar. If you simply can’t put up a tree, sip eggnog and listen to carols, then don’t. Do what you can to get through the season – order Chinese takeout, binge watch a show. Simply take care of you this holiday season.

Here are a few thoughts:

Volunteer somewhere

Grieve the past, but don’t stay there

Instead, focus on where you’re going. There’s a reason I talk about “The Journey Ahead” in my blog – that’s where all the good stuff is! There’s nothing you can do about what has happened this year up until now, your mental health will thank you for looking forward to all the good ahead of you.

Seek out your “tribe” – the ones who know what you are going through. They understand! A voice that relates to you can sometimes be exactly what you need. You can also find support groups locally or online.

Keep perspective

This is only one Christmas. It will come and it will go and although it may feel like the end of the world in this moment, it will soon be a faded memory and it will simply be that “one time” that it didn’t happen. You still have 40 or even 50 more Christmases ahead of you to celebrate.

Wishing you health and happiness this Season!

It’s like a temporary relief pill for your post-divorce holiday stress and one of the easiest ways to get out of your head is to serve others. It’ll bring joy to sacrifice a bit of time, and you’ll feel the appreciation when you put yourself out there.

Manage expectations but keep them realistic.

If you decide to move forward and decorate the home for Christmas, don’t overdo it. It’s doesn’t have to be magazine article-worthy, and that’s ok. Eat nutritious foods, go for a long walk, get plenty of rest. A burned-out, over-tired, hungry, tense person is not going to get through the season unscathed, and things will seem so much worse than they really are.

The first year is often the hardest. I hope you believe me when I say that someday you will create new memories, new traditions, and feel stronger that you got through this, overcame it, and reached the other side. You’ll even learn to love the holidays again. It’s okay to give yourself a break this year and be realistic for you.

To All M yV Clients, F alued amily & Friends, I can’t th ank you enough all your support for and trust you exte that nded in the year by and gone hope th at a new year will 2023 gift me y our conti patronag nued e.

Stay informed, with peace of mind and confidence. Contact now.

Happy H olidays T o Everyon e!

Spinach & Artichoke BREAD BOWL

This pull apart bread will make for a delicious appetizer or centrepiece at your next Holiday gathering. It’s easy to make and you can prepare the mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time. * Preheat oven to 375 Degrees

00 60

Trina Stewart HOMES+ Editor

Directions: 1. Add handfuls of spinach in non-stick frying pan. Stir until it begins to wilt. Add oil if spinach sticks to pan. Remove to plate, let cool and pat dry.

2. Open, drain and pat dry artichokes.Finely chop spinach and artichokes.

Ingredients:

3. In the same frying pan, add oil and stir in green onion and garlic.

Stir until softened. Let cool.

1 1 tbsp 2 2 1 can 4 1 1/2 cup 2 1/2 tsp 1/4 tsp 2 cups 1/2 cup

4. In a medium bowl, combine mayo, lemon zest, green onion/garlic mixture, Prosciutto, salt and pepper. Add spinach- artichoke combination and the two cheeses. Combine well.

Package of Fresh Baby Spinach Oil Green Onion Garlic Cloves Artichoke hearts, drained and dried Slices of Finely Chopped Prosciutto Round sourdough bread, medium sized Mayonnaise Lemon zest Kosher salt Grated Jarlsberg Cheese Finely grated Parmesan.

Black ground pepper Melted Butter Garlic Plus or Chili Flakes (Optional)

5. Without cutting right through the bread, slice sourdough bread about 1” apart. Turn on 90 degree angle and continue slicing to create fingers. Set on parchment lined baking sheet or pizza pan. I recommend a stone pizza pan for a presentable serving option.

6. Add the spinach and artichoke mixture between slices of bread (one way only) If there is extra mixture continue to add in opposite direction. Brush bread tops with melted butter. Sprinkle Garlic Plus or Chili Flakes on top of bread (optional.)

7. Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Serve with knife. Watch your guests pull, rip and cut with holiday delight.

FOR BOMBAY CHICKEN SALAD

½ - 2/3 cup 1 tbsp 2 tsp ¼ cup

DANA SHORTT

These Bombay chicken wontons are a delicious choice to serve at your upcoming holiday soiree or NYE party. They’re easy to prepare and versatile (and they were a crowd favourite back in the days when we offered catering services). In addition to serving the salad on the wonton crisps, you can stuff a little bit of the salad onto the base of an endive leaf, for an attractive, low-carb appetizer.

Of course, the salad makes a great sandwich filling – try it on multigrain bread or raisin walnut.

You can also use it to make gourmet quesadillas (just add your favourite cheese). Lastly, try the chicken salad on mixed greens for a hearty lunch or light dinner.

method

FOR WONTON CRISPS: 1. Cut each wonton wrapper in half to make 2 rectangles, then cut each rectangle in half to make 4 squares (in total).

2. Heat 1½ inches vegetable oil in a 4-5 quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until your thermometer registers 360° F. 3. Using tongs, gently lay 8 squares on oil (do not drop in, or they will lose their shape) and fry, turning over once, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds in total.

4. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt.

5. Fry remaining squares in the same manner.

to assemble:

1. Place about 1½ teaspoons of Bombay chicken salad on top of each wonton crisp.

2. Top with a sprig of fresh cilantro to garnish (or, use chicken salad in other suggested recipe ideas listed above).

Pretzels for Hosting **BAKING SODA BATH**

Active dry yeast 16 cups Water Warm water 105-110 °F½ cup Baking soda Dark brown sugar Whole milk room **TOPPING** temperature 3 tbps Salted butter Salted butter melted melted Fine sea salt Coarse sea salt, pretzel salt or kosher salt to taste All-purpose flour

Every parent needs a good soft pretzel recipe. Kids love them, and they make a fun lazy day baking project. Pretzels are also great for game night, date night or a festive gathering with friends.

HOW TO MAKE THE PRETZEL DOUGH 1. Combine yeast, water, and brown sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let mixture rest for 5-10 minutes (until foamy).

2. Once the yeast is proofed, add the melted butter and milk to the yeast and stir to combine.

3. Add flour and salt and stir until a ball is formed.

4. The dough should form a slightly tacky, but firm ball.

5. Lightly grease a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with pretzel.

11. Repeat with remaining dough.

PREPARE THE BAKING SODA BATH: 12. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.

When the water is boiling, slowly add the baking soda.

13.Boil pretzels one at a time in the soda bath for 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove it from the bath and place it on the prepared baking

a damp towel to rise for 30 -60 minutes until doubled in size.

FORM PRETZELS 6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease baking sheets 7. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces 8. Roll each piece of dough into a 25-30” rope.

9. Lay the rope into a “U” shape. Then cross the ends over each other once, then twist them once at the place where they meet 10. Hold the portion of the pretzel dough that has been twisted and fold it down to the bottom of the “U” shape. Press the ends firmly but gently into the bottom of the sheet.

14. Immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

BAKE 15. Bake pretzels at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until dark brown.

16. Remove from oven, immediately brush each pretzel with melted butter.

17. Transfer to a wire rack to cool
