TRADITIONAL CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP DIRECTIONS STEP ONE: Place all veggies, chicken, salt and pepper in the liner of the instant pot, fill with water to the MAX fill line.

has released, carefully open the lid and let the soup sit in the pot (or at least the liner) until cooled (this can take several hours).

STEP T WO: Place the liner in the instant pot, close the lid, turn the valve to SEALING.

STEP SIX: Strain the soup and save the carrots, parsnips and chicken if you like to cut them up for serving the soup or for eating.

STEP THREE: Place on PRESSURE COOK for 27 minutes. It will take a while for the pot to come to pressure then once the pot is pressurized the counter will start counting down.

STEP FOUR: When the timer is done, NATURAL release for 5 minutes. Then QUICK release until all the pressure has released.

STEP FIVE: Once all the pressure

10

STEP SEVEN: Taste the soup and add more salt and white pepper if desired.

I was a real skeptic when it came to the instant pot in general, but especially for cooking traditional recipes such as chicken soup. I was sure it would never be as good as the slow cooked golden broth that my grandmother would make. Our attempts to emulate her perfection have resulted in many animated discussions, friendly competitions, comparisons, criticisms, and praise for our pots of liquid gold. Serves 8.

INGREDIENTS • 8 quart Instant Pot (if you have 6 quart, you will just have less soup) • 2 whole chicken legs (thigh and drumstick attached), skin on but trimmed of excess fat • 1 1/2 lbs whole chicken wings (not split) • 1 cooking onion, peeled and chopped • 1 leek, white and green part only, cut in half in the length and cleaned • 3 medium size carrots, peeled and chopped • 2 medium size parsnips, peeled and chopped • 1/2 bunch parsley, cleaned • 1 small bunch dill, cleaned • 2 stalks of celery or the interior heart of the celery with leaves, chopped • Neck of a butternut squash or about a 3” piece or less than 1 cup, chopped

STEP EIGHT: You can freeze the soup in batches with the carrots, parsnips and chicken pieces right in the soup.

• 1 zucchini, chopped

STEP NINE: When ready to serve, boil up some noodles for each bowl. ◆

• Water

• 1 tbsp kosher salt (less if you are using kosher chicken) • About 20 peppercorns or white peppercorns • Kosher salt and ground white pepper • Noodles for serving (I use flat egg noodles)

TECHNOLOGY

LAUNDRY STAIN REMOVAL 101 GR ASS: These stains contain a pigment that sticks to clothing fibres. The secret is to act fast, soaking the stain in cold water as soon as possible. Once the garment is really soaked with water, use a cleaning agent like white vinegar or rubbing alcohol to treat the stain.

RED WINE: With a wine stain, it’s all about the dab - rubbing the stain can set it further. Dabbing complete, apply salt liberally to the stained area, let it dry and then wash with cold water and a mix of detergent and baking soda.

THE BASICS OF LAUNDRY SEEM STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE STAIN REMOVAL REQUIRES AN ADVANCED DEGREE. CHECK OUT THESE EASY TIPS. 12

LIPSTICK: Kiss away lipstick stains by pretreating with a solvent-based stain removal product (or a bit of liquid detergent). Allow the stain remover to work for at least 15 minutes and then wash the garment in the hottest water possible for the fabric – be sure to read the care label.

SAUCES: Can’t eat pasta without spilling tomato sauce on your top? Simply apply dish detergent to the stain and rub with an ice cube. Once the

stain has faded, blot it with a clean cloth soaked with vinegar and wash as usual.

OIL AND GREASE: Start by covering the stain in baby powder or cornstarch as quickly as possible – the powder will soak up much of the grease or oil. After about 30 minutes, dust off any excess powder and give the garment a wash on the hottest water-setting possible for the fabric.

Still feeling stymied by stains? Modern laundry appliances are making it easier than ever to tackle tough ones with pre-determined settings.

GE Appliances’ new washers, for example, come with a Stain Removal Guide feature: simply push a button based on the stain you’re treating and the machine will automatically adjust the water temperature, spin speed, wash action and soak time.

Which

FLOORING IS RIGHT

FOR YOUR HOME? YOU’VE FINALLY MADE THE DECISION TO UPDATE YOUR HOME, BUT FIND YOURSELF STUCK WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING FLOORING. NARROWING IT DOWN CAN BE STRESSFUL AND CONFUSING. HOW CAN YOU DECIDE WHICH FLOORING IS RIGHT FOR YOUR HOME?

16

To begin with, think about your lifestyle and the way in which you use your home and/or the room you are looking to refurbish. Are you looking to do yoga in the family room, host lots of dinner parties, allow the dog to run around freely, or have the kids and their friends have picnics inside? Depending on what your lifestyle looks like and the use of the room, you will need to choose something that reflects that. Regardless, opting for a floor that is durable, comfortable, and that enhances and blends well with the look of the space is important.

Balancing your needs with your style is what you should be considering, as mixing practicality with your personal taste is where the decision lies. Once you have that figured out, choosing flooring options will be a lot more fun and straight-forward!

Before thinking about styles and materials, ask yourself these questions – how many people are going to be regularly using the room? How much traffic will the floor receive?

Are children and pets going to be using it? How long do you want your floor to last? How often do you want to clean the floor? These simple questions will help you in determining which flooring is right for your home.

home, compared to hardwood floors. For those of you with children, carpets provide a warm and inviting space for the family to gather around, and anti-skid surfaces are a safe way for your young ones to play without hurting themselves.

The many different styles of carpets can enhance your room and add warmth.

HARDWOOD

Keeping your lifestyle and budget in mind, tile or vinyl is a great option for those with young children, pets, or for areas that will have exposure to water, spills, and or other liquid materials. Perhaps you are an artist who works from home, or live in an area that might be exposed to moisture. Tile is a good option for bathrooms where your kids may leave behind puddles of water, in the laundry room, a studio, and in the front hall. Mud rooms where your kids and pets may track in dirt from playing outside do well with tile or vinyl flooring as well.

If you are simply just changing the floor and not the entire room, be sure to choose a floor that compliments the current furniture in the room, and one that goes with the overall decor and look of your home. If you are redoing the entire space, think about the textures, colours, and finish that appeal to you. Hardwood floors are more durable and will last a long time, as well as add value to your house. If you are planning on having many people come in and out of the room, perhaps do yoga, or are a cook who loves to spend lots of time in the kitchen, consider hardwood floors. They’re more comfortable to stand on for long periods of time, stand up to lots of traffic, and provide a warm and inviting feel to the area.

TILE OR VINYL

Choosing which flooring is right for your home isn’t as hard as it seems and once you’ve answered a few of these key questions, you’ll be on your way to glorious new flooring! ◆

7 WAYS TO EMOTIONALLY CONNECT TO YOUR BUYERS As a professional home stylist and stager, I’ve learned it’s about more than de-cluttering and painting the walls to attract the right buyer. It starts with knowing your target buyer, what they want, and how to give it to them within the confines of the space. Homebuyers might use logic to decide on their functional needs, such as the number of bedrooms or the home’s square footage, but when it comes to the final decision, the heart always plays a role.

3 / SET THE MOOD Different colours evoke different emotions. Colour has the power to induce the calmness, excitement or cheer required to connect buyers with your property. And it doesn’t have to be all-encompassing to have an impact. A few thoughtful pops of colour can bring a hint of personality and style. Bonus: Colour makes for eye-catching listing photos, too! ▹

Here are seven ways to tug at homebuyers’ heartstrings, and turn your listing into their new home.

1 / PR ACTICE RESTR AINT Resist the urge to cram every corner with stuff. “Negative space” gives the eye a place to rest and lends a sense of purpose to those items you’ve thoughtfully chosen to display. Furthermore, negative space creates the illusion of more room, good storage and organization, while building the buyer’s anticipation of “what’s next.”

2 / LIGHT IT UP A well-lit home always looks larger, cleaner. Layer natural, task and ambient lighting into your staging strategy. Windows (and mirrors!) work with floor and table lamps, pendant lights, reading lamps and the like, to illuminate functional workspaces and highlight focal areas in the home. One great resource to check out for stylish lights is Hudson Valley Lighting.

HOME DÉCOR

4 / MAKE IT “HOME” If you have a gas fireplace, turn it on to appeal to homebuyers’ nesting urges. Nothing says “welcome home” like the warmth of a crackling fire. To up the ante, crank up the thermostat a couple of notches to encourage home hunters to linger a little longer, as they envision where they’re going to put their favourite chair and set of framed prints from France.

5 / A ROOM AND A REASON Each area of the home should have a clear purpose. Your staging should be as a real-time instruction manual on how to maximize the space and function of every room.

There shouldn’t be a question of where the TV should go, whether a full sofa will fit, or what that back room might be used for.

6 / ACCESSORIZE IT When you’ve done everything but it feels like something’s still missing, think accessories. These seemingly small details make a big collective difference in a house that feels like “home.” The flowers on the entranceway table, the books in the office, and photos lining the fireplace mantel all contribute to a sense of belonging in the space.

7 / LET YOUR BUYERS MENTALLY MOVE IN Your personal items, family photos, and pet paraphernalia are distractions that remind buyers that this is not their home, but yours. The easier you make it for them to picture themselves eating at the kitchen table and relaxing on the sofa, the more likely they are to make it their home. ◆

WHY YOU SHOULD CLEAN

YOUR APPLIANCES

OF YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN THE KITCHEN DANCING, COOKING, BAKING, EATING - WE’RE BETTING THAT CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCES ISN’T ONE OF THEM. But this kitchen to-do is a must — for reasons you might not even think about. Luckily, it’s not something you have to tackle every week, or — for some appliances — every month. Here’s why cleaning appliances matters.

THOSE PESK Y GERMS Of course, germs in a fridge make sense: You’re stashing raw meat, vegetables, and dairy — all items that can quickly turn into a science experiment. But did you know that appliances like dishwashers can accumulate germs?

It’s true. Whether you’re cleaning a refrigerator or a dishwasher, follow the manufacturer’s directions for how and when to clean. If you can’t clean the fridge all at once, do one shelf or one door at a time, over a week. To quickly clean your dishwasher, run a hot-water cycle with a cup of white vinegar, upright, in the top rack.

YOUR UTILIT Y BILLS Dirty appliances have to work harder, and that translates into higher utility bills. Clean the coils on your fridge, for example, so it easier for the appliance to stay cool. Spills on the interior of an oven might make it harder to generate heat.

THE APPLIANCE’S LIFESPAN You wouldn’t let your car go thousands of extra miles without an oil change — it’s an essential step to keep the engine running efficiently. Think of appliance cleaning in the same way: A cleaner appliance works better and lasts longer, protecting your pricey investment for years.

YOUR WORKLOAD The longer you let dirt and grime accumulate, the harder appliances are to clean. Tackle cleaning tasks in small chunks (or all at once if that’s more your style). Use built-in conveniences (such as an oven’s self-clean feature) to make appliance cleaning less of a chore, too. ◆ geappliances.ca
