Bridging the Distance on Mother’s Day

M

any modern families are spread out across the country, if not the globe.

Some people move away from family to further their careers, while others are called upon to care for others. Children may separate from their parents to witness new travel experiences. Military service may call individuals away from home as well.

Distance can make it challenging to spend time together for major holidays and other special occasions - like Mother’s Day. But Mother’s Day can still be special even if Mom lives hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Embrace Technology Technology helps break down some of the barriers created by distance. While phone calls were once the way to keep in touch, many people now utilize various forms of digital communication. Someone who lives across different time zones can talk through texting or the various social media avenues available on computers, phones and tablets. Video apps like Skype and FaceTime enable you to video chat with others in real time. Come

"You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep Spring from coming." ~ Pablo Neruda Spring has sprung, and with it, a fresh issue of Seasons® Magazine has found its way into your hands. As we emerge from our Winter slumber, we look ahead to all the warmer months have to offer as we celebrate our fifth year of showcasing the best of Long Island, seasonally.

As always, our Spring Scene is filled with fun family activities, from the traditional fairs and festivals to annual favorites like the Jones Beach Air Show, the Belmont Stakes and more. From Montauk to Long Beach, there are special events taking place in every community for you to enjoy this season.

Our Seasonal Selections are back as well, featuring delicious recipes for "Orange Whole-Wheat Waffles with Yogurt and Fresh Berries" and "Charred Green Beans with Lemon Verbena Pesto." This section is a favorite among readers, and we look forward to hearing how your savory samples turned out.

With springtime comes the start of baseball season, and this issue's reader contest offers the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to see the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Enter for your chance to win and enjoy a day at the ballpark!

Of course, once the warmth of the sun radiates along our coast, can Summer be far behind? It's never too early to begin planning your Memorial Day festivities, as our BBQ tips can attest. The month of May is also a time to celebrate our military with pride, and we have compiled some helpful hints to show your appreciation.

The place to be this season is outdoors, whether browsing your local neighborhood farmers' markets, going for a jog in one of our many pristine county and state parks or simply taking a stroll along the beach, through a beautiful arboretum or on the grounds of an historic manor. The options are endless.

We look forward to hearing your feedback, and we welcome any comments and suggestions on features you would like to see going forward. Please feel free to e-mail us at Editorial@SeasonsMagazineOnline.com.

Enjoy all that Spring has to offer, and we look forward to seeing you again in the Summer!

Spring Cleaning Can Alleviate Allergies

A

llergies affect people of all ages. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology reports that allergic rhinitis affects between 10 and 30 percent of the world’s population. In addition, the prevalence of allergic diseases has risen in industrialized nations for more than 50 years.

Seasonal allergies tend to be the strongest in spring and autumn.

Allergies can be exacerbated by many factors, including in homes where improvements are being made. Regular housecleaning can remove many common allergy triggers and help alleviate symptoms. Knowing which common home improvement mistakes can aggravate allergies can help homeowners avoid them.

Suit Up Before any cleaning begins, allergy sufferers should don face masks and rubber gloves to prevent themselves from breathing in allergens or having them touch their hands, where they can be transferred to the face or elsewhere.

Those cleaning should also wear

clothes that can be easily removed and laundered after a day’s work.

Clean Windows Singularly Prolonged exposure to outdoor allergens, such as pollen, mold or ragweed, can aggravate allergies.

Therefore, if windows are being cleaned, do one at a time and then promptly close the window. Having the air conditioning running can help filter the air as well.

Use Exhaust Fans The AAAAI recommends using an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathrooms to reduce the levels of moisture in these rooms and filter out potential allergens and odors.

Moisture can eventually lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which isn’t healthy for anyone, including allergy sufferers, to breathe in.

Invest in a HEPA Filter Vacuums with HEPA filters can trap allergens that are so small that they pass through regular vacuum filters.

That means instead of containing them, these small particles are only being shot back into the air where they are easily breathed in.

WebMD suggests vacuuming once or twice a week to keep carpets and floors as clean as possible. Plus, don’t forget to vacuum upholstered furniture and drapes as well.

Launder with Hot Water

use a damp cloth or a vinegar solution to wipe down surfaces. This helps trap small particles instead of sending them into the air.

Treat Mold Issues Mold can trigger allergic reactions, so it is best to keep it out of a home.

Solutions that contain at least 10 percent bleach can be effective at killing mold, but it’s best to prevent mold from growing entirely. That means keeping tabs of any moisture issues and addressing them immediately.

When it comes time to wash linens, do so in hot water, which can kill dust mites residing in sheets and blankets. Employ mattress covers to further protect against dust mite allergies.

Shampoo Smart Shampooing a carpet may cause moisture to become trapped in the carpet fibers, leading to increased dust mites or mold growth. Spotclean stains instead. Otherwise, hire a professional cleaner who will clean and dry the carpet as quickly as possible.

Allergies can be problematic, but routine home cleaning in the right way can help alleviate symptoms.

Damp Dusting is Better When cleaning up dust or home renovation debris,

Make Road Trip Season More Eco-Friendly

M

any drivers anxiously await the arrival of spring, when they can rev their engines and enjoy the burgeoning greenscapes synonymous with the season. Though the colors of fall foliage might be more closely associated with road trips, many drivers enjoy the first few warm days of spring when they get a chance to hit the open road with their windows down for the first time in months.

Driving is not always the most ecofriendly activity. However, there are various ways to enjoy spring road trips without compromising the environment.

Do not idle your vehicle. When engines are running but cars are not moving, this is referred to as “idling.” It’s hard to blame drivers for idling their vehicles in winter, when many motorists try to warm up their engines and their vehicles’ interiors so their morning commutes are as comfortable as possible. Idling cars might not be moving, but they are still burning fuel, meaning drivers who routinely idle their vehicles are adversely affecting fuel efficiency.

It’s also important to note that

idling is no longer necessary in modern vehicles. That’s because the electronic fuel injection systems in today’s cars require just a few seconds to get full oil pressure throughout the engine. Such systems were not present in older vehicles.

Take it easy on the road. Road trips tend to be more enjoyable and are certainly safer when drivers take their time and don’t rush to their destination. And driving slowly happens to be more eco-friendly as well. According to the online automotive resource Edmunds. com, gently gaining speed is much more fuel-efficient than accelerating quickly. Always obey speed limits and avoid quickly accelerating when stoplights turn green.

Empty the trunk. During winter, many drivers understandably carry some extra items in their trunk to account for inclement weather.

Keeping ice scrapers, extra coolant or even a snow shovel in the trunk might make sense for drivers who live in regions that routinely encounter heavy snowfall. When spring arrives, drivers should

remove any unnecessary items from their trunks. Such items will increase the weight of the vehicle, thereby reducing its fuel efficiency.

Athletes and outdoors enthusiasts should also remove golf bags and sporting equipment from their trunks when taking trips where such items won’t be needed.

Don’t top off at the gas pump.

Many drivers, especially those on road trips who want to avoid extra tops at the filling station, top off their gas tanks when nozzles shut off automatically. Such a practice is harmful to the planet and may not be doing your vehicle any favors,

either. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes gasoline

needs some extra room in gas tanks to expand. Without that extra room, the gas may evaporate into the vehicle’s vapor collection system, adversely affecting emissions and potentially damaging the vehicle.

Motorists can employ several simple strategies to make spring road trip season more eco-friendly.

7 Reasons to Shop Farmers’ Markets

Providing Quality Craftsmanship & Services To Long Island Family Homes For Over 25 Years.

A

farmers’ market is likely coming to a field or open parking lot near you - if there isn’t already one operating nearby.

The United States Department of Agriculture says that, between the years of 2008 and 2013, the number of farmers’ markets doubled across the country.

“The Hands That Sign Your Contract Are The Hands That Build Your Dream.”

Call Barbara And She Will “SPRING” Into Action

Farmers’ markets will continue to thrive and expand as people increasingly realize the benefits of supporting local food providers.

Buyers who are not yet familiar with farmer’s markets can examine the following seven reasons to break the ice: 1. Enjoy fresh, seasonal foods.

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings.

Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods.

In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

2. Discover new foods.

There’s always something new at a farmers’ market, and this can entice shoppers to expand their flavor palates. Explore interesting, locally grown items. Even children may fall in love with colorful fruits or vegetables and their refreshing

tastes.

3. Embrace organic and non-GMO offerings.

Many farmers’ markets offer foods that are organically grown and are produced without GMOs. Farmers’ market retailers also tend to give firsthand accounts of where their foods come from and how they are grown or raised.

4. Indulge in nutritious foods.

The vivid colors and smells emanating from farmers’ markets indicate just how fresh and nutritious the offerings tend to be. Farmers who peddle their wares at farmers’ markets adhere to careful farming methods to ensure their foods are as nutritious as possible.

5. Learn secrets and recipes.

In addition to fresh produce, farmers’ markets may offer baked and other prepared goods. Shopkeepers often mingle with their customers, offering trade secrets and recipe ideas.

Additionally, local farm families supported by farmers’ markets generally offer supreme customer service to keep shoppers coming back week after week.

6. Turn the trip into a social excursion.

A farmers’ market can be an exciting and flavorful social gathering place for families and groups of friends, as well as a great place to meet other members of the community.

Sometimes farmers also mingle with local artisans, so the market can be a one-stop-shopping locale for locally produced food and art.

Time spent in the great outdoors is often its own reward. But taking measures to be eco-friendly while spending time outside can make such leisure time even more rewarding. People who want to get out and be eco-friendly at the same time can try the following activities:

Cycling: Cycling is a fun activity that’s also great exercise and incredibly eco-friendly. While it’s certainly an enjoyable leisure activity, cycling also can provide a great alternative to more popular modes of transportation like driving.

According to Bay Area Bike to Work Day, a movement dedicated to promoting cycling as a means of commuting to and from work, drivers of small vehicles (those that get 35 miles per gallon of gas) who commute 10 miles per day, five days a week can expect to consume 68 gallons of gas in a typical year during their commutes.

During those commutes, their vehicles will produce 0.7 tons of CO2. SUV drivers will consume nearly double that amount of fuel while their vehicles produce nearly three times as much CO2 emissions. Cycling to work won’t consume any fuel or produce any emissions, and cyclists won’t be forced to sit idly in rush hour traffic.

In addition, hiking provides a great full-body workout that might appeal to people who have grown tired of more traditional gym-based fitness regimens.

onths spent indoors avoiding the harsh weather outside makes winter a difficult season for people who love the great outdoors. While skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports make it possible to get some fresh air even when that air is frigid, many people find it difficult to consistently get outside when temperatures drop. That difficulty no doubt contributes to the popularity of spring, a season widely seen as a time of rebirth and rejuvenation.

Fishing: Fishing devotees tend to be wildly devoted to their craft, but one need not be an expert angler to enjoy fishing and help the planet. According to the Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries, fishing supports wildlife and fisheries management. The DGIF notes that anglers help to set seasons and creel limits, ensuring that wildlife populations remain stable and even flourish. Many anglers also find fishing is a great form of stress relief that provides a peaceful escape from the daily grind.

Running/Walking: In lieu of running or walking on a treadmill indoors, men and women can get outside and do their jogging or walking in the great outdoors. While treadmills are not necessarily big energy consumers, running or walking outdoors consumes no energy and provides a great opportunity to spend time outside, especially for professionals who spend most of their days in office buildings.

The great outdoors comes calling for many people when temperatures begin to climb. Answering that call can be a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and improve your mood.

Hiking: Hiking is another ecofriendly outdoor activity that can pay dividends for both the planet and the people who call it home. Lawmakers in towns and cities with thriving hiking communities may be encouraged to support legislation that preserves hiking trails and parks and prevent potentially harmful construction from taking place. And individuals can reap a number of benefits from hiking through the

Celebrate All Military this May

M

emorial Day is celebrated each May to commemorate the people who died in service of the United States of America.

Even though barbecues and visions of the upcoming summer weather may command much of the attention come Memorial Day weekend, the holiday really serves as a remembrance for those military members who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, as well as the personnel who continue to protect and serve today.

Memorial Day Origins Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day and was borne out of the Civil War. On May 30th, 1868, General John Logan, a national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, decreed General Order No. 11, which designated the day for the “purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.”

May 30th was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle.

Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Each of these military branches also has its own reserves.

who frequently relocate, making a concerted effort to welcome them into your community.

It took several years for the first state to recognize the holiday, which New York adopted in 1873. By 1890, all northern states recognized Decoration Day. When the holiday changed from commemorating those who died fighting the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war after World War I, the South began to recognize it as well.

There are many ways to honor active, reserve and former veterans, as well as those who died in service of their country.

• Educate children about past wars and the services the military provides.

Honoring the Military Although Memorial Day pays homage to the brave people who perished fighting for their country, it also is an opportunity to recognize the military men and women and their families who continue to work to ensure the freedom of Americans.

The United States Armed Forces is renowned for its size and strength.

Various sources suggest the size of the United States military is somewhere between 1.4 and 1.6 million active service people. The military is comprised of the Army, Army National Guard, Navy, Air

• Help Veterans of Foreign Wars distribute red poppies as a visual reminder of the military’s efforts.

• Volunteer at a veterans’ hospital or visit a wounded veteran at home.

• Offer financial, legal or career expertise through the Corporation for National & Community Service (Serve.gov).

• Visit a military museum or historic site.

• Observe the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time for one minute.

• Post a message to the troops at the USO website (USO.org).

• Help to maintain the veteran area of a nearby cemetery.

Place flags on all of the graves.

• Befriend military families

Go Green in Your Lawn and Garden

S

pring is a season of rejuvenation. As the cold days of winter drift away, spring blooms begin to sprout and grass regains its lush green look.

Green is certainly a color that’s synonymous with spring. Gardening enthusiasts can find a way to make spring even more green by embracing several eco-friendly gardening practices as they bring their lawns and gardens back to life in the months to come.

Create a compost pile.

Composting is an eco-friendly way to enrich lawns and gardens.

Composting helps to conserve water because compost promotes moisture retention in soil, reducing homeowners’ need to water their lawns and gardens while also helping them to save money on their water bills. Composting also helps homeowners avoid the need to use potentially harmful chemical fertilizers because compost is a natural, slow release fertilizer. In addition, according to Canada’s Green Action Centre, compostable materials make up 40 percent of residential waste. So composting

can dramatically reduce the amount of waste homeowners ultimately send to landfills.

Replace gas-powered mowers with reel lawn mowers. Reel mowers may seem like relics from simpler times, but today’s reel mowers, while just as eco-friendly as their predecessors, are unlike those of yesteryear. According to the Planet Natural Research Center, an online resource for organic gardeners, gas-powered engines emit more than 10 times the hydrocarbons per amount of gas burned than auto engines.

But reel mowers are fuel-free and less expensive than gas-powered mowers. Planet Natural also notes that reel mowers snip grass like scissors, leaving finer trimmings that can serve as nourishing, weeddeterring mulch for yards.

Water at the right times of day.

Homeowners who water their lawns and gardens at the right time of day can help the planet and reduce their energy bills. As spring gradually gives way to summer, temperatures typically rise. Watering during the coolest times of the day means less

water will be lost to evaporation, ensuring water-needy soil will get all it needs to help lawns and gardens thrive. Early morning watering before the sun reaches its midday peak and/ or evening watering as the sun is setting are typically great times to water lawns and gardens, rather than when temperatures are at their hottest.

Use a rain barrel. Rain barrels provide another great way to conserve water while tending to lawns and gardens. Rain barrels collect and store rain water from roofs and downspouts, keeping water from washing into sewage systems where it can’t be put to good use. Water collected in rain

barrels can be used in various ways.

Many homeowners can use water

from rain barrels to water their lawns, gardens and houseplants, saving money on their water bills along the way.

Spring gardening season provides a great opportunity for lawn and garden enthusiasts to embrace a variety of eco-friendly practices that can save them money and protect the planet.

Planning for a Memorable Graduation Day

G

raduation day can be an exciting and nervewracking experience. Steeped in tradition, graduation signifies the end of the line for academia for many students.

Knowing what to expect during the commencement ceremony and being prepared can help tame nerves and ensure the day moves along as smoothly as possible.

Get Clothing Set Choose your attire several days before the graduation ceremony.

Try on the clothing that will be worn beneath the graduation gown along with the gown to ensure everything fits well. Collared shirts look classic beneath the gown for both female and male graduates.

However, schools may have their own dress requirements that should be followed. Iron or have the dry cleaners press all items so they are crisp and free of wrinkles.

It’s a good idea to wear flat shoes for the commencement ceremony.

Whether traversing the football field or the school auditorium, flat, comfortable shoes will be easy to

walk in and help graduates avoid slipping or tripping.

Fuel Up Depending on the size of the graduating class, commencement ceremonies can take a few hours.

Make sure to eat a hearty breakfast and be well-hydrated prior to leaving the house. If possible, bring along a small bottle of water. Outdoor ceremonies or those in stuffy auditoriums can mean contending with sun and warmth. Sipping water can prevent overheating.

Leave Travel Time Much of the community will be en route to the graduation, making for congested roads and difficult parking situations. Do not add to nerves by rushing around. Give yourself an extra half hour or so to arrive at the destination and get settled. Suggest an early departure for guests as well, as the parking lot or on-street parking will fill up quickly.

Expect Limited Tickets Many schools have space restrictions and can only

photos without feeling rushed.

accommodate a predetermined number of attendees. Tickets may be limited to a specific number per graduate. Extend a courtesy to those who cannot be invited by explaining the ticket policy. Find a way to honor loved ones in another way, such as during a toast at an after-party or with personalized photo gifts.

Wear Academic Dress Properly

Practice Ceremony Etiquette The school will set the tone for the commencement ceremony. Formal schools may have a more buttonedup atmosphere, while other schools embrace livelier traditions. Heed the direction of faculty, as there will be plenty of time to let loose after the ceremony.

Graduation caps are worn flat on the head, parallel to the floor and with the front point centered on the forehead. The gown should be free of jewelry and flowers. Some schools will adorn caps and gowns with academic regalia, while others will not. Reserve your graduation party as a chance to personalize if you so desire.

Graduation is full of tradition.

Planning for the day can tame nerves and make it an enjoyable experience.

Make sure that you give all graduates the respect they deserve by turning off cell phones. In addition, remain seated until the ceremony is over and allow each graduate to get individualized recognition and take

ersatile and flavorful, lamb is enjoyed across the globe and is especially popular come springtime holidays. Throughout the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, lamb has traditionally been enjoyed once the weather warms and the season of fertility renews.

Christians, who refer to Jesus Christ as the “Lamb of God,” pay homage to the Easter miracle and often dine on lamb as part of their celebrations.

Depending on how they interpret Jewish law, Jews may or may not include lamb at their traditional Passover seder.

Lamb is a tender and tasty meat that can be prepared in various ways. Lamb can be roasted, braised, stewed, broiled and even grilled.

To prepare lamb well, it is extremely important to follow safety guidelines concerning food crosscontamination. Undercooked and raw meats may contain E. coli bacteria; therefore, lamb should not come in contact with other foods that will be served uncooked.

Many cuts of lamb are very tender so they will not require long marinating times to help break down the fibers in the meat. Lamb does not need a lot of prep time. In fact, a simple seasoning of herbs, garlic or a spice rub will provide substantial flavor.

According to The Daily Meal, New Zealand or Australian lamb has a milder flavor than domestic lamb. Over-seasoning can overwhelm the delicate flavor of the lamb in these cases.

While preferences differ, many chefs attest that a bone-in cut of lamb will be more flavorful. However, boneless cuts are easier to carve. Similarly, cooks have strong opinions on the doneness of lamb, with some prefering rare meat while others like theirs well-done. Lamb can be juicy and tender at a wide range of cooking temperatures, so home chefs can decide how they want to prepare their lamb. The average temperature for roasting lamb to medium doneness will fall between 135º to 145º F, with the USDA recommending at least 145º F as the desired temperature. Lamb roasts at a rate of 20 minutes per pound at a cooking temperature of 325º F.

Use a thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of lamb. Remove the lamb when it is roughly five degrees below the desired temperature, as the meat will continue to cook even after it is removed from the oven, skillet or grill. After cooking. let the lamb rest for around 10 minutes for thinner cuts and 20 minutes for roasts or leg of lamb to allow the juices to redistribute.

Certain flavors pair especially well with lamb, including citrus, mint, garlic, oregano and curry.

Lamb can be served beside potatoes, couscous, polenta, vegetables and even pasta.

Memorial Day BBQ Tips

M

emorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. For many, Memorial Day weekend also signifies their first chance to invite friends and family over for a backyard barbecue. While some never put their grills away for the winter, braving the cold so they

can keep grilling year-round, many may need a refresher to ensure their Memorial Day BBQ starts summer off on the right foot.

Stock up on supplies. Before hosting your first backyard barbecue, take inventory of your supplies, making sure you have a

spatula, tongs, oven mitts, a sturdy grill brush and other accessories you may need during grilling season.

Check each item to make sure it’s not worse for wear and do the same with the grill as well. Replace supplies that have too much wear and tear in advance of Memorial Day weekend so you have one less item on your to-do list come the day of the barbecue.

Designate some time to do some cleaning. Even if you cleaned the grill and patio furniture before putting the items in storage for the winter, they likely will need to be cleaned again before you host your first soiree of the season. Remove any dust and check for spider webs or signs of other critters that might have made your furniture home over the cold winter. Droppings

from rodents can be dangerous, and spiders can bite unsuspecting grillmasters. Clean patio furniture before putting it out as well.

Find some new recipes. Hot dogs and hamburgers are perfectly acceptable backyard barbecue fare, but hosts who want to treat their guests to something new this summer can find a host of recipes online. Consider recipes for grilled vegetables so vegetarian guests can enjoy freshly grilled foods alongside your other guests. Just be sure to separate veggies from meat on the grill so vegetarian guests are not hesitant to eat. And while grilled meat tends to be popular at backyard barbecues, don’t overlook recipes for grilled fish that can be both nutritious and delicious.

Get guests home safe. Memorial Day gatherings tend to be festive, but keep an eye on guests to ensure that no one consumes an excessive amount of alcohol. Keep a list of local cab companies on hand or download a car service app to your smartphone so safe means of transportation are always within reach.

Seasonal Selections

Orange Whole-Wheat Waffles with Yogurt and Fresh Berries Makes about 6 5- to 6-inch waffles • Serves 4 to 6 While the dinner table might be where families catch up and share stories of their day, breaking bread at breakfast time can be just as enjoyable. That’s especially true when families take the time to create homemade breakfasts, such as the following recipe for “Orange Whole-Wheat Waffles with Yogurt and Fresh Berries” . . .

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

For the crust:

For the Orange Whole-Wheat Waffles: Preheat a waffle iron (and, if you plan to hold the waffles until serving time, preheat the oven to 200º F).

21⁄4 cups white whole-wheat flour 3 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 11⁄4 cups whole milk 1⁄2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 2 eggs, separated 5 teaspoons packed, grated orange zest 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Yogurt Topping

1 cup Greek-style yogurt (see note) 4 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon grated orange zest, packed Fresh raspberries, strawberries or blueberries, for garnish

In a large serving bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, orange juice, egg yolks and orange zest. In a third bowl, beat the egg whites until firm, but not stiff.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture, blending gently only until the ingredients are combined. Add the butter in a slow stream, continuing to blend until the butter is incorporated. Gently fold in the egg whites.

For the yogurt topping: In a small serving bowl, whisk together the yogurt, honey and orange zest.

Pour 1⁄2 cup of the batter (or more, depending on the size of your waffle iron) onto the waffle iron and, using a metal spatula or table knife, spread the batter to within 1⁄2 inch of the edge. Close the cover and cook approximately 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. (If your waffles aren’t crisp, even after a “ready” signal has sounded, continue to cook them, watching carefully, until crisp and golden. If not serving immediately, place the waffles in a single layer on

a baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish with the remaining batter.)

Serve the waffles topped with a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture and garnish with some berries. {Note: Nonfat, as well as reduced- to whole-fat varieties of Greek yogurt work in this recipe.}

Fire Up the Grill for Fresh Veggies Serves 2 to 4

Vegetables are more versatile than many people may know. Steaming or sautéing vegetables might be among the most popular ways to cook veggies, but grillmasters know that it’s not just main dishes that taste great when cooked over an open flame. As the following recipe for “Charred Green Beans with Lemon Verbena Pesto” can attest, grilled vegetables make for simple yet satisfying side dishes.

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

Green Beans 11⁄2 pounds slender green beans 2 teaspoons olive oil

Prepare a hot fire in your grill.

Lemon Verbena Pesto 1 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves (substitute fresh lemon balm leaves) 2 garlic cloves 1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1⁄4 cup pine nuts or English walnuts 1⁄2 cup olive oil Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

www.seasonsmagazineonline.com

Toss the beans with olive oil and place in a perforated grill basket or wok set on a baking sheet.

For the Lemon Verbena Pesto, combine the lemon verbena, garlic, cheese and nuts in a food processor and pulse to puree. Slowly add the olive oil with the processor running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, about 1 minute.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, or it may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Place the grill wok or basket directly over the fire and stir-grill, tossing the beans with wooden paddles or grill spatulas until crisptender, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Transfer the grilled beans to a large bowl and toss with about 1⁄4 cup of the Lemon Verbena Pesto or to taste.
