Easy “Green” Thanksgiving Ideas even further.

Reducing waste is a worthy goal year-round, but especially so during the holiday season. And accomplishing that goal can be done without sacrificing holiday traditions:

Have a local Thanksgiving. Start a new tradition and invite nearby friends and family over for the holiday instead of traveling long distances. If each family reduced gasoline consumption by one gallon (roughly 20 miles), they could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one million tons.

Use fine china when serving meals. Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to serve meals on fine china and use the silverware that has gone unused instead of disposable plates and utensils.

In addition to adding a touch of elegance to meals, reusable china and silverware is less wasteful than paper plates and plastic utensils.

Cloth napkins and other table linens are also more eco-friendly than paper napkins.

Decorate using natural items.

Scour the great outdoors for allnatural centerpiece materials or other items that can be turned into wreaths and garlands. Vases filled with pine cones and acorns make for beautiful, inexpensive and festive decorations.

Shop locally and organically.

When shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, choose local produce, poultry and grains whenever possible.

Resist the urge to buy more than you need as well. Skip some of the less-popular dishes that are used only to make the table seem full. Buy a small turkey or think about only serving turkey breasts, which tend to be the most popular cuts of the bird.

Use reusable shopping bags to carry items home and reduce waste www.seasonsmagazineonline.com

Light candles and reduce energy consumption. During the meal, eat by candlelight and turn off lights in other areas of the home that are not in use. Rather than turning on the television, take the party outdoors and play a game of football on the front lawn.

Designers Include: Allure After Six Bari Jay Bill Levkoff Cameron Blake Casablanca David Tutera Dessy Eddy K Impressions Ivonne D Jasmine Joan Calabrese La Perle Jovani Maggie Sottero Mon Cheri Pronovias Rina DiMontella Sophia Tolli Sottero & Midgley Terani

Send home the leftovers. Send each guest home with some leftovers, if you have any. This way the refrigerator isn’t left full of items that will end up uneaten. Otherwise, donate uncooked food to a local food bank. Use any scraps of vegetables in a compost pile.

Don’t let recycling fall by the wayside. Remember to recycle all applicable items. Just because it’s a holiday, doesn’t mean recycling habits should be forgotten.

Encourage guests to pitch in by clearly marking recycling bins.

Thanksgiving can be less wasteful without detracting from the enjoyment and true meaning of the holiday.

hanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and share special moments with family and friends. While the original Thanksgiving might have taken place during a time when food was sparse, nowadays Thanksgiving often involves excessive amounts of food, with more food ending up in the garbage than in celebrants’ bellies.

With crisp temperatures perfect for strolls or sightseeing and breathtaking scenery awash in bright autumnal hues, autumn landscapes make for the ideal backdrop for weekend plans, including shopping excursions.

Fall is a great season to enjoy festivals, farmer’s markets and craft fairs, as merchants look to liquidate inventory before they prepare for the rush of the upcoming holiday season. Cities, towns, hamlets and everything in between will host their share of open markets and more with great deals to be had, and fall is an ideal time to visit local shops and stands.

You can even get an early start on pumpkin season - both for cooking and carving.

Stock the car with reusable tote bags and scour the farmer’s markets for seasonal finds. Chances are you also might pick up some extra treats, such as fresh honey or canned jams.

Food Finds

As plants are harvested, many items are turned into delicious treats. No autumn shopping excursion is complete until you smell a freshbaked apple pie or some apple cider doughnuts.

Corn breads and fritters, cranberry snacks and wines from nearby wineries also are easy to find in autumn. These items make welcome additions to your own pantry, or bring a freshly made treat to a friend or family member’s home when paying a visit.

SEASONS® MAGAZINE

Attention allergy sufferers, NAET may be the answer you are looking for.

NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique) is a medication-free, allergy relief technique which incorporates the medical disciplines of Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Biochemistry and Kinesiology Testing. I call it “Acupuncture-Fusion.” Needles are not even essential to the treatment protocol. We can use an Acupressure device or a cold-laser light to stimulate the Acupuncture points for the “needle-shy” person.

The NAET protocol was created in 1983 and there are well over 16,000 practitioners worldwide. Simply stated, the NAET protocol resets the nervous system to accept the allergen without medication. There are no use of medications, inhalers and anti-histamines in the treatment protocol. A regular user of such drugs will be weaned off the drug protocol gracefully and in a timely manner.

What is an allergy? What is a sensitivity or hypersensitivity to a substance? What is an intolerance to a substance? An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity of one individual towards one or more substances, which may be harmless or even beneficial to a majority of other individuals. In other words, there is an energy imbalance

between the energy of the person and the substance causing unpleasant physical, physiological and/or psychological reactions in the person’s body. An allergen is any substance capable of producing such reactions. If the reaction is mild, it is called an intolerance.

An allergic reaction is when the symptoms are very reactive, causing acute or chronic illness. When the reaction is more than mild, it is called a sensitivity reaction. The good news is that Kinesiology testing (muscle testing) is very often capable of detecting sensitivities and intolerances.

An allergy can be expressed in many more ways than most people expect. Any system in the body can be affected by an allergen. The respiratory system may present with shortness of breath, wheezing, sinus congestion, sneezing and spontaneous sweating. The cardiovascular system may present with a rapid heartbeat, atrial fibrillation and chest tightness. The integumentary or skin system often presents with a rash in patches or throughout the body, open skin sores; which can be an extreme eczema condition or skin dryness and itching. The entire body system can shut down with an extreme

sensitivity to an allergen, as in an anaphylaxis shock, which would require an immediate treatment usually with an epi-pen to inject the body with epinephrine.

It is possible to be allergic to anything, not just the usual suspects such as wheat, peanuts, animal dander, pollen and molds. Some common examples of allergens are salt, sugar, caffeine, spice, alcohol, food coloring/additives, cotton, paper, artificial sweeteners, cleaning agents, gold, silver, petroleum products and on and on. When least expected, an allergen could be the cause to your health problems.

Other common pathologies such as autoimmune disorders, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Systemic Inflammation, frequent common colds, Eczema, Psoriasis, irregular menstrual cycles and many other illnesses may be allergy related.

Yes, it is true. You can get rid of your allergies without taking medicine by reprogramming your nervous system with acupuncture or acupressure. If your allergies are not severe, they can sometimes be eliminated with a single treatment.

NAET principles and techniques are based upon the combination of Kinesiology (muscle testing), chiropractic, acupuncture and some

dietary/lifestyle modifications. A very thorough health history is taken at the initial visit and often, if necessary, at following treatments to detect where a possible hidden allergen or combination of allergens are coming from. It is most important to strengthen the immune system by first testing and, if necessary, treating allergies to the basic essential food and mineral nutrients, which include eggs, sugar, vitamin C, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B, salt, grains and yeast. This is a prerequisite to treating additional allergies. Clearing essential allergies often help clear hidden allergies because your immune system becomes more balanced. In addition, this will help eliminate other allergies with fewer treatments.

Hundreds of NAET videos are available on YouTube to get a better understanding of this powerful, safe, clean and simple protocol.

A very thorough and meticulous health history is paramount to getting results with NAET. As I have mentioned many times, spending the proper time with the patient and with the proper care is key to a speedy recovery with any of your healthcare practitioners.

Best Ways to Cheer on Favorite Sports Teams

A

utumn weather calls to mind sipping warm cider and raking leaves. But for sports fans, fall is all about sports.

American football, field hockey, ice hockey and basketball are just a few of the sports that make autumn an exciting time for sports fans.

Even the most ardent fan may have room for improvement when it comes to supporting his or her team. Here are a few ideas to make cheering for a favorite team even more enjoyable: Attend a Game

Fans who never get to see their team play in person may miss out on a unique experience. The atmosphere and energy of sitting in a stadium or arena cannot compete with a television simulcast. Ardent fans can resolve to attend a game in person this season. Enroll in employee entertainment clubs to receive discounts on sports tickets among other types of

entertainment.

Host a Game Watch

Build camaraderie with fellow fans by hosting a game watch. A routine sports night is a great way to get together with friends and family members.

Gather a group at your house each week to watch a favorite team battle it out on the big screen.

Or get together with fellow fans in the community at a sports bar or restaurant, combining a night out on the town with your passion for sports.

and youth organizations can encourage children to support local scholastic teams. Organize field trips to sporting events to involve as many students as possible.

Fall sports are heating up, and fans can do their part to support their favorite teams in various ways.

Get the Kids Involved

Spread the love of fandom to a new generation. Schools

Pack Well for a Hike in the Wilderness

S

eptember may enjoy the title of National Wilderness Month, but any time of year is a good time to enjoy the great outdoors.

One of the ways to immerse oneself in nature is to enjoy a day hike or overnight backpacking excursion.

Millions of people take to trails or create their own paths all across the world each and every year. Hiking is a great way to enjoy the beauty of nature, but it also has other benefits. Hiking as a form of low-impact walking can reduce risk for heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and anxiety.

Preparing for a hike involves packing accordingly for the trip. These items should be brought along on hiking trips to ensure such excursions are comfortable, safe and successful: Water: Bring along water whether you’re hiking in warm or cool temperatures. Water can be heavy, so some experienced hikers prefer to bring a filtration device or purifying tablets so they can rely on natural water sources for their drinks.

map will help keep you on course.

Remember, cell phones may not work in remote areas.

Nutrition: Bring along lightweight food to keep you well fed. Any number of situations, including difficult trails and getting lost, can prolong hiking trips. Nutritious snacks can help hikers maintain their energy levels.

Rain Gear/Extra Clothing: Dressing in layers and having a change of clothes enables you to adjust your attire according to the weather conditions. Wear water-repellant materials that wick away sweat.

Proper Footwear: Trail shoes may be adequate for shorter hikes or when you are not carrying much gear.

Otherwise, opt for sturdy hiking boots with plenty of sole and ankle support.

Sun Protection: Sun protection encompasses sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.

Illumination: Pack a headlamp or flashlight, and don’t forget the batteries. Light will help you navigate if you are out after sundown.

Flashlights also can be used to signal others if you’re lost.

Navigational Tools: A compass and

Fire Starter: A night spent in the wilderness may not be on the itinerary, but chemical fire starters, matches or even dryer lint can help start fires in emergency situations.

Multipurpose Tool: A multipurpose tool can be used to cut items, open cans and much more.

First Aid Kit: Don’t forget a prepackaged first aid kit to treat minor or major injuries. Taking a first aid course is also helpful.

Toilet Paper: When nature calls in nature, a roll of toilet paper can make things much easier.

Emergency Shelter: Tarps, tents or even reflective blankets can be put to use if a day trip needs to be turned into an overnight stay.

Fun and Safe Halloween Party Guide

H

osting a Halloween party can be fun, but it’s also a big responsibility. Halloween parties favor outlandish pageantry, amazing costumes, eye-catching decor and enough scares and tricks to amuse thrill-seekers. While fun is often the primary focus of Halloween, party hosts also need to prioritize safety when hosting spooky soirées.

Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore. Alcohol has become a big part of many adults’ Halloween celebrations, and that means hosts must take steps to safeguard their guests from overdoing it with alcohol.

As party planners start to plan their Halloween festivities, it’s important to remember that safety must be a priority: Prepare the space. A raucous party may lead to accidents around the house. Move out any extra furniture so guests have more space

to move around. Remove breakable items from rooms where guests will spend most of their time.

Skip the candles. Battery-operated tealights create the effect of real candles without the danger.

Illuminate jack-o’-lanterns and other Halloween items with flickering LEDs, which won’t start a fire if they’re knocked over.

Hire a bartender. If the party is an adult affair, invest in a professional bartender or server who can monitor guests’ alcohol consumption. He or she can cut off those who have had too much and prevent guests from becoming intoxicated.

Provide adequate lighting.

Darkness might remind many of Halloween, but an entertaining space should not be so dark that guests cannot move around safely. Be sure to illuminate all walkways and clearly indicate exits so that guests can get to safety if

necessary. Remove any obstacles on the floor that are tripping hazards, and be sure to use nonslip runners and rugs.

Practice food safety. Many Halloween treats and desserts contain nuts, and this can pose a hazard to those with nut allergies.

Label foods and attempt to make the party nut-free if there is someone attending with a nut allergy. Many foods can be left out at room temperature for anywhere from one to two hours. Promptly refrigerate any leftovers so that they do not spoil and cause foodborne illnesses.

of Halloween darkness. Routinely conduct a head count to be sure everyone is safe and sound.

Halloween parties can be safe and enjoyable at the same time. Enlist the help of others to ensure that all guests are protected while they engage in costume-clad fun.

Arrange for transportation home.

Guests who imbibe should have a safe and sober means of getting home. This may mean arranging for cabs or ride-share services for guests.

Keep an eye on kids. Children can get into mischief any day of the year, but especially so under the cloak

Halloween Pumpkin-Carving Pointers

T

ransforming pumpkins into cleverly carved creations is a Halloween tradition. Each October, glowing pumpkins take up residence near doorsteps and porches, adding to the magical ambiance of the season. Young and old spend time designing their themes and then taking knife to

pumpkin to achieve the desired effects.

Carving pumpkins into jack-o’lanterns can be traced back centuries to Ireland and a story about “Stingy Jack.” The tale involves Jack outwitting the Devil twice, the second time freeing the Devil from a prank in exchange for the promise that he would not claim Jack’s soul should Jack die. When Jack did die, God did not want the unsavory character in heaven, but the Devil could not claim Jack for hell. Therefore, Jack was relegated to roam the planet indefinitely with only a burning coal to light his way.

Jack put that coal into a carvedout turnip. His ghostly figure was referred to as “Jack of the Lantern.”

Later on, it was shortened to “Jack O’Lantern.” When Irish immigrants arrived in North America, turnips weren’t plentiful, so jack-o’-lanterns were instead carved into pumpkins.

Today, many people carve jacko’-lanterns, with some featuring just smiling or grimacing faces,

while others are far more artistic creations. These tips can help anyone carve a pumpkin:

removed and as a way to add texture and shadowing. The more air that is allowed to penetrate the pumpkin, the faster it will start to degrade.

Begin with a fresh pumpkin. Look for a pumpkin with a green stem. If the pumpkin has been sitting around for too long or has been handled too much, the stem can get brittle and/ or fall off. A thick, fresh pumpkin is best for carving.

Plan your ideas. Draw a plan for your pumpkin before you make your first cut. Then transfer that design to the pumpkin with pen or a thin marker. Pumpkin-carving kits come with designs that can be “traced” by poking small holes to create the outline of the design.

Don’t cut all the way through.

Many professional pumpkin artists do not actually cut clear through the flesh of the pumpkin. They carve and shave off layers of the outer rind until it becomes more translucent.

The level of transparency can be adjusted based on how much skin is

Delay carving until the last minute. Wait until the day before Halloween to begin carving.

Pumpkins are a perishable item, and they’ll begin to rot as soon as you begin carving. Spritzing them with water can help them stay fresh, but there’s no turning back the clock once the first cut is made.

Cut a hole in the back. Cutting off the top of the pumpkin can affect its structural integrity and cause it to rot faster. Instead, cut a hole in the back of the pumpkin and use an electric light to illuminate it. LEDs are adviseable because they don’t generate much heat, which can cook and rot the pumpkin from the inside out.

With some creativity and a little know-how, anyone can create an eye-catching jack-o’-lantern.

Finding Balance with Extracurricular Activities the issue since 2007. In their report “Extracurricular Activity in HighPerforming School Contexts: Stress Buster, Booster or Buffer?,” Jerusha Conner and Sarah Miles found that 87 percent of kids who would be considered to have packed schedules were perfectly happy unless they were doing more than four hours a day.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau states that, in 2014, 57 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 17 participate in at least one after-school extracurricular activity. Children are more likely to participate in sports than clubs or lessons, such as music, dance and language, but each of these activities can be beneficial to students’ development.

The “over-scheduling hypothesis” may be overhyped. This is the concern that too much organized activity participation leads to poor developmental outcomes.

This hypothesis also suggests that hectic schedules also undermine family functioning, detract from schoolwork and possibly increase the risk of copycat behaviors and excessive competitiveness. However, in the study “The Over-Scheduling Hypothesis Revisited: Intensity of Organized Activity Participation During Adolescence and Young Adult Outcomes,” researchers J.L. Mahoney and Andrea Vest determined that, controlling for demographic factors and baseline

Students who participate in extracurricular activities may want to limit their participation to 20 hours per week. This is according to a group of professors from Stanford University and Villanova University who have been collecting data on

Even though extracurricular activities are largely positive - even when schedules are packed - parents need to be aware of the diminishing returns of too many activities. This is something called the “threshold effect.” Benefits from extracurriculars can level off when too many activities are being juggled.

Types of Firepits for Your Backyard Oasis

Wood Firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood,

which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes.

Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits.

Gas Firepit: Gas firepits are touted for their convenience, as they don’t require homeowners to carry wood and build fires. Upon being connected to a gas source, gas firepits provide fire at the click of a switch. Gas firepits are also appreciated for their safety, as there is little or no risk that flames from gas firepits will grow too large and become difficult to control.

Gas Fire Tables: Gas fire tables might be ideal for those homeowners whose sense of decor favors more modern looks. Gas fire tables come in a variety of

shapes and sizes and, like gas firepits, there’s no need to struggle with lighting a fire or carrying firewood.

Tabletop Firepits: Homeowners, condominium or apartment dwellers with limited backyard space may want to consider the convenience of tabletop firepits. Restaurants may use tabletop firepits in their outdoor seating areas because they provide warmth and ambiance without taking up much space. Tabletop

firepits fueled by gas will not need to be connected to a gas source, which may appeal to consumers who want something that’s simple as well as small.

Fire Urns: While they might not technically qualify as firepits, fire urns provide a similar effect as firepits. Fire urns are typically gaspowered and may be an ideal choice for homeowners who are looking for a unique, awe-inspiring feature for their outdoor entertaining areas.

utdoor entertaining areas are popular among homeowners, and firepits are one of the most sought-after additions to such spaces. In fact, a 2016 survey from the American Society of Landscape Architects found that fireplaces and firepits were the most popular outdoor design element in 2016. Various styles are available to homeowners who want to add firepits to their backyards, and choosing the right type may come down to budget, the amount of yard space available or even personal preference.

Fall Lawn Care Tips

S

pring and summer may be the seasons most often associated with landscaping and lawn care, but tending to lawns and gardens is a year-round job. If lawn and garden responsibilities dip considerably in winter, then fall is the last significant chance before the new year that homeowners will have to address the landscaping around their homes.

Fall lawn care differs from spring and summer lawn care, even if the warm temperatures of summer linger into autumn. Homeowners who want their lawns to thrive year-round can take advantage of the welcoming weather of fall to address any existing or potential issues.

Keep mowing, but adjust how you mow. It’s important that homeowners continue to mow their lawns so long as grass is growing.

But as fall transitions into winter, lower the blades so the grass is cut shorter while remaining mindful that no blade of grass should ever be trimmed by more than one-third.

Lowering the blades will allow more sunlight to reach the grass in the months ahead.

Remove leaves as they fall. Much like apple-picking and foliage, raking leaves is synonymous with fall.

Some homeowners may wait to pick up a rake until all of the trees on their properties are bare. However, allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect on grass. Leaves left to sit on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the grass by forming an impenetrable wall that deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen.

The result is dead grass and possibly even fungal disease. Leaves may not need to be raked every day, but homeowners should periodically rake and remove leaves from their grass, even if there are plenty left to fall still hanging on the trees.

Repair bald spots. Summer exacts a toll on lawns in various ways, and even homeowners with green thumbs may end up with a lawn filled with bald spots come September.

Autumn is a great time to repair these bald spots. Lawn repair mixes contain mulch, seed and fertilizer to repair bald spots, which can begin to recover in as little as seven days.

Before applying such products, remove dead grass and loosen the top few inches of soil. Follow any additional manufacturer instructions as well.

Aerate the turf. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the delivery of fertilizer and water to a lawn’s roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it’s best to first have it soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated.

Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing.

Fall lawn care provides a great reason to spend some time in the yard before the arrival of winter.

Healthy Ways to Get to School

T

raffic on roadways increases during the morning and afternoon hours during the school year. During the morning and mid-afternoon, millions of students make their way to and from school.

As much as 20 to 30 percent of all morning traffic is generated by parents driving their children to school.

Today, many school-aged children are driven to school by their parents.

That not only increases traffic and the opportunities for vehicular accidents, but also contributes to the poor air quality in and around local neighborhoods. The cities of London and Camden in the United Kingdom have already placed bans on driving on some roads around schools to help curb air pollution.

The World Health Organization says air pollution is linked to the deaths of three million people around the world each year.

Driving to school may also contribute to the obesity epidemic plaguing the nation’s youth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the percentage of children with obesity in the United States has more than tripled since the 1970s. Roughly one in five school-aged children is obese.

Families can find healthy ways to transport children to school, and

Walk to School

Walking one mile to and from school each day can fulfill around two-thirds of the 60 minutes of the recommended physical activity for children each day. Considering that recess times are being cut and kids are spending more time indoors or on devices instead of playing outside with friends, walking to school provides much-needed exercise.

Young children should be accompanied by an adult chaperone when walking to school.

Older children are urged to walk in pairs or groups to increase safety in numbers. Students should heed traffic signals and stick to routes with access to crosswalks and crossing guards.

Turkey Vegetable Pot Pie

Serves 6 Pot pie makes for a delicious meal, especially when home cooks go the extra mile and prepare homemade pie crust. Some may be intimidated by the idea of making their own pie crusts, but the following recipe for “Turkey Vegetable Pot Pie with Whole-Wheat Crust” simplifies that process, ensuring a fun and easy time cooking and, ultimately, a delicious meal:

INGREDIENTS For the crust:

1 cup whole-wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 2⁄3 cup corn oil 1⁄3 cup orange juice

For the filling:

1 carton condensed cream of chicken soup (organic

preferred) 1⁄2 cup low-fat milk 11⁄4 pound boneless, skinless turkey breast, thinly sliced into bite-size pieces 1 cup thinly sliced carrots (or frozen sliced carrots, thawed) 1 cup leeks, quartered lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise, using white and pale green parts only

DIRECTIONS

To make the crust: Combine flours and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in oil and orange juice and stir until moistened. Press dough to flatten and chill.

To make the filling: Blend soup and 1⁄2 cup of milk in a large bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients.

3⁄4 cup thinly sliced celery 1⁄2 cup frozen peas, thawed 3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour 2 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence (or 1⁄2 teaspoon each thyme, rosemary and basil) 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Divide dough into 2 balls, one slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger ball between 2 large sheets of waxed paper until it is 1⁄8-inch-thick or until it fits in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Turn dough over and carefully place in the pie pan, removing remaining piece of waxed

paper. Press out any bubbles and patch holes with scraps of dough.

Pour filling into the prepared pan.

Roll remaining dough and lay it on top. Cut any excess dough hanging from the edges and crimp the crust between your thumb and forefinger to seal. Cut a heart into the center to allow steam to escape.

Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until center of crust becomes golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pie’s center reaches 165º F, covering browned edges only with foil about halfway through cooking. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting.

Mediterranean Fish Stew Serves 6

Flavorful meals come in all shapes and sizes. When looking to seafood for flavor, shrimp shells are full of flavor, and even more so in the following recipe for “Mediterranean Fish Stew.” The flavor of the shells should seep into the sauce, making this a delicious dish best eaten with your fingers and mopped up with plenty of crusty fresh bread:

INGREDIENTS

12 mussels 1 large fennel bulb, with leafy tops 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, crushed

DIRECTIONS

3/4 cup dry white wine 11/4 cups fish stock 29 ounces canned chopped tomatoes 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 pound monkfish fillet, cut

Scrub the mussels clean and rinse them in several changes of cold water to remove grit. Pull off the beards or seaweed-like threads, and discard any mussels that are cracked or that don’t close when tapped against the countertop these are dead and not edible.

www.seasonsmagazineonline.com

into 11/2-inch chunks 12 large, unpeeled, raw shrimp, heads removed 1 pinch of sugar Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Extra virgin olive oil, to serve

Remove the leafy tops from the fennel bulb, chop them coarsely and set aside. Cut the bulb into quarters, remove and discard the core, then finely chop the bulb.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok. Add the fennel bulb and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for a further 1 minute. Add the

wine, stock, canned tomatoes and sugar, and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Add plenty of salt and pepper.

minutes, or until the mussels have opened and the fish is cooked.

Ladle the stew into deep plates or bowls. Sprinkle with the fennel tops and olive oil, and serve.

Add the monkfish and return to simmering. Stir in the mussels and shrimp, cover and cook for about 5
