EDITORS’ NOTES

hat’s on your wish list when searching for a home to lease? I did an informal survey with a small group of past and present renters to see what people look for, and the results are in. In the top spot – without a doubt – are actually two key items that go hand-in-hand: clean and quiet. A building with reliable security system was also near the top of the list in many cases, as was a property manager that responded quickly to issues, and a laundry room that was readily available and fully functional. New appliances and new paint were also in demand and in one case, a home that offered lots of natural light was a request. While your “Top 10” list may read differently, make sure you do in fact have a list handy so that you can compare apples with apples when shopping for a space to lease. It’s important for property managers to know what you’re looking for when you’re shopping so that they can help you find what you’re looking for or can offer alternatives if they have access to other locations. The more locations you have to compare, the better the chances of finding just the right one that tops your list.

riends. Melrose Place. Will and Grace. Big Bang Theory. TV is full of sitcoms set in apartments. Some of TV’s all-time favourites have plot lines that revolve around the building’s community, from Jerry and Kramer on Seinfeld, to Jack Tripper’s antics on Three’s Company. Apartment buildings are a natural setting for great TV shows because a rental building brings together a random community of unique individuals. Your preference for location may be the only thing you have in common with your neighbours. But these shows also illustrate how enjoyable living within a community of unique individuals can be. Get to know the neighbours. While you may never find the guy across the hall has the set of a talk show in his living room like Kramer did, you may meet people you enjoy getting to know and spend time with. From socializing and carpooling to borrowing a cup of sugar and finding a babysitter, getting to know the neighbours can really enrich your rental experience. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect community. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

The Entertainment District The city is your playground by Jane Herman

t's not called the Entertainment District for nothing! The area from Queen to King and from Simcoe to Brant is a seemingling normal stretch of city blocks filled with everything from dining options to factories and from offices to shops TheRentersGuide.ca and services. But come sundown, the neighbourhood transforms. The hum of music floats through the air as DJs play to partygoers and the nightclubs fill up. TheRentersGuide.ca 12G

The area fills with funseekers of all ages. The variety of clubs, lounges, restos, nightspots, patios, entertainment venues and dance floors in the area offer something for everyone. From bowling to sporting events on the big screen, there's something for everyone - The Entertainment district truly lives up to its name! This urban area was once heavily occupied by day but had little in the way of residential living, but it's undergone quite a transformation in the past decade. With stunning city views, new apartments, and amenities catering to a vibrant and active TheRentersGuide.ca lifestyle, many of the new apartments are gearing their offerings to a contemporary lifestyle, from Green innovations to high end-appliances and luxurious designer finishes.

Training program raises professionalism and service standards,

BENEFITTING RENTERS BY TED WHITEHEAD

hen you rent an apartment, your quality of life in that residence has much to do with how the building property management personnel operate and perform on a daily basis. The Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) established the province-wide Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to help apartment shoppers zero in on buildings that are well run in keeping with an accepted set of standards of practice that help to raise the level of professionalism across the industry. To ensure that these criteria are met, those enrolled in this innovative program must complete the Certified Rental Building Property Managers Training & Education Program that helps achieve the CRBP’s goal of “Providing value to tenants.” In other words, providing an acceptable customer service level is at the forefront of the exercise. The training course is available only to property managers’ and/or property owners’ staff whose buildings have been admitted into the program. Participants cover the requirements of meeting CRBP’s Standards of Practice and learn how and why upholding them improves operations and customer service. All management personnel who carry out the daily decisions about running the enrolled buildings must attend the course, which runs approximately eight hours. “The CRB Program’s training was a TheRentersGuide.ca natural educational add-on for Sterling Karamar’s staff,” said President, Marshall Bleiweis.“The training was well received by our staff and served to re-enforce our continued commitment to providing our

TheRentersGuide.ca

18G

residents with a quality rental product and service.” For the convenience of participants, it is run in two session formats: a one-day or two concurrent half-day sessions. All participants complete a test at the end of the sessions to make sure that they understand the course content. The curriculum covers the CRBP’s Standards of Practice and how these apply to the daily running of an apartment building, as well as how they can improve revenue opportunities, increase occupancy rates and enhance the quality of service to customers. It truly is a win-win situation. There is a fee to enrol participants, and each receives a Training Manual and a Sample Forms Booklet. In the end, participants are expected to ensure that good business processes and practices are in place, all for the benefit of the renter. The education component of the CRBP goes hand-in-hand with the Program’s goal of raising employee professionalism across the industry. Another component, accountability, is equally important. A key requirement of certification is proof of compliance with the Standards of Practice through building audits conducted by the independent thirdparty performance measurement firm, J.D. Power and Associates, and the education course prepares managers and owners for this process. In fact, participating building owners/ managers have to request the audit after completing a self-assessment, which adds another layer of accountability. “Training and education help raise the quality of rental-apartment buildings

in Ontario, and in raising the level of professionalism across our industry,” said Vince Brescia, president and CEO of the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario.“It is a natural extension of any respectable quality-assurance program and that is why it is such an important component of the CRB Program.” The education and training that accompanies the CRBP certification facilitates strict adherence to things such as regular building cleaning schedules, effective and prompt communication with tenants regarding repairs and other concerns, properly maintained elevators, annual site inspections, and much more. Program participants learn about the importance of human rights responsibilities when it comes to tenants and employees, and how critical it is to respect people’s privacy. The provision of emergency contact information to tenants, paying interest on their last month’s rent . . . there are many aspects of managing and working in an apartment building that are addressed. The CRBP has been well received across the industry, and the certification continues to be a sign of leadership and respect for quality assurance for rental housing consumers. In the end, it’s about making life better for renters. Visit crbprogram.org to learn more.

Not all new couples honest about financial baggage TD Canada Trust asks dating expert Christine Hart for advice on how to discuss a less-than-perfect financial past

t’s not unusual to bring baggage into a new relationship and financial baggage like a persistent credit card debt or lingering student loan is no exception. Interestingly, research from TD Canada Trust, shows one-in-five Canadian couples (22 per cent) admit they are not always one hundred per cent honest with their partner about TheRentersGuide.ca their spending and saving habits. No need to check into couple’s therapy yet - TD and dating guru Christine Hart have some advice TheRentersGuide.ca to help start the conversation. 40G

“Financial baggage is not uncommon; we all have independent financial lives before we enter into a relationship and that can include old student loans, a tarnished credit rating or on the flipside a healthy RSP or savings account,” said John Tracy, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust.“Opening up about finances can be hard, especially at the start of a new relationship, but it is vital couples have honest conversations in order to build a solid financial future together.” Dating expert Christine Hart agrees that couples need to be honest about any baggage – financial or otherwise – they bring into a relationship. Open communication is crucial in determining compatibility with a potential partner. “Going through a recent credit card statement over cocktails is certainly not the most romantic way to approach a first date, but

TheRentersGuide.ca

avoiding tough money topics altogether can be dangerous,” said

Hart.“As the relationship grows, so too should the conversations about future goals and finances.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

TD Canada Trust and Hart provide advice to couples on how and when to have the difficult conversation about money: 1. When to have “the talk” Money generally comes up in conversation around the third date, according to Hart. This could be a mention of who is picking up the dinner cheque or covering the candy tab at the cinema. By the sixth date, couples should have an informal conversation to assess their date’s financial personality - is he or she a penny pincher or shopaholic, risk taker or security seeker? “Bring up your own relationship to money first to create a sense of ease around the topic, and then ask if your date can relate,” said Hart.“Even a simple discussion about upgrading a gym membership or cutting back on lunches out can help get feel for someone’s spending habits.” 2. How to delve deeper into the big ‘debt reveal’ When to have the deeper debt discussion depends on the couple, their age and the nature of their relationship, but couples should not wait until they are signing a lease or picking an engagement ring. “When couples are ready to have the debt talk, they should

be prepared to ask and answer much more direct questions,” said Hart.“For example, ‘I was talking to my advisor today, and they said I only have a few months to go before paying off my student loans. How about you? Where are you in terms of paying off any debts?’” Debt doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker, according to Tracy. “Believe it or not, some debt can actually help people achieve financial goals,” said Tracy. “For example, an RSP loan used to help maximize any unused RSP contribution room could be considered good debt. What matters is that debt is used responsibly and there is a plan in place to pay it back.” 3. Addressing money mismatches If one person is saving for a rainy day but their date is thinking about the next big shopping adventure, the relationship may be headed for some challenges, but Hart warns against walking away at the first sign of cash conflict. “We can be too quick to dismiss potential partners these days; values about money are far more important than what exists in someone’s bank account on the first date,” Hart said.“If there is an issue, start with a compliment and try to track the issue back to values instead of criticizing, patronizing or blaming each other.” For example, a wallet full of cards doesn’t necessarily mean a date is a spendthrift or debt-monger.“Carrying a balance on a credit card to fund short-term lifestyle spending may set off a red flag,” said Stephen Menon, associate vice president, Credit Cards, TD Canada Trust.“However, using a travel rewards credit card and repaying it promptly can provide many benefits, such as tracking spending, building a credit history and can help save money on travel down the road.” 4. Popping the ‘joint finances’ question Hart said most couples say ‘I do’ to joint finances, in some capacity, when they move in together.“Combining finances requires complete openness. Couples shouldn’t hide debts or spending splurges from each other, or it will create a lack of trust which can trickle into other areas of the relationship,” Hart said. Tracy suggests having a formal conversation to set ground rules and develop a joint financial plan.“There are many benefits to joint finances, but it’s also important that couples set personal financial goals outside of those they have with their partner,” Tracy said.“For example, many couples share a joint bank account to pay household bills, but establishing a second bank account, such as a high interest savings account, can provide a sense of autonomy and responsibility when it comes to saving.” TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group (www.environics.ca) to conduct an online custom survey of 4,564 Canadians aged 18 years and older who are currently in a relationship. Responses were collected between January 10 and 25, 2013.

TD Canada Trust offers personal and business banking to more than 11.5 million customers, provide a wide range of products and services from chequing and savings accounts, to credit cards, mortgages and business banking, to credit TheRentersGuide.ca protection and travel medical insurance, as well as advice on managing everyday finances.

Sheppard Centre Apartments Celebrating residents and supporting a good cause, all in one very fun afternoon And by the end of the day, children had been transformed into butterflies, tigers, pirates and masked heroes by the talented face painters Tandem had hired for the occasion. Lunch was grilled up, ice cream was served and cold drinks were available all day long, with proceeds all going to an excellent cause. Over $2,500 was raised for Ronald McDonald House Toronto, which will support the residential needs of families with seriously ill children who need to travel to Toronto for medical treatment. Toronto is lucky enough to have some of the best hospitals and children’s medical facilities and specialists in the world. Ronald McDonald House goes beyond just providing a decent place for families to stay close to the hospital. They also provide comfort and understanding. They offer programming and support for families going through very serious medical issues with their children, and they also provide fun programming and entertainment that offers relief from the often painful and difficult days of treatment.

ummer sunshine means one thing – time to get outside and enjoy! And that’s exactly what Tandem Property Management had in mind when they organized the annual resident appreciation and fundraiser funday at Sheppard Centre Apartments. For the second year in a row – and something Tandem wants to make an annual tradition – the residents of Sheppard Centre Apartments were treated to a spectacular resident appreciation day. Music filled the air as residents filled the grounds and explored the different activities, TheRentersGuide.ca with proceeds from the day going to Ronald McDonald House Toronto. While the day was a hit with all residents, the little ones were treated to a few special activities. The bouncy houses TheRentersGuide.ca are always a favourite and the kids couldn’t get enough. 54G

A resident appreciation day and fundraiser is just one of the many ways that Tandem goes the extra mile to ensure resident satisfaction. Sheppard Centre Apartments is a modern and well-maintained community known for customer service and satisfaction. With an ideal location right at Yonge and Sheppard, direct access to the subway system as well as a shopping mall occupying the lower levels, it’s a convenient spot and a commuter’s dream. Sheppard Centre Apartments offers traditional rental suites. These bachelors one-, two- and three-bedroom suites are modern and spacious, accommodating all, from singles, students and couples to families. Onsite amenities add a lot of value to rental living, and Tandem has also just completed a major renovation of the laundry room facilities. New machines, Wi-Fi access, comfortable couches and a new TV makes laundry less of a chore! Sheppard Centre Apartments features 24-hour security monitoring and onsite security guards. The buildings offer peace of mind in addition to value and style. Sheppard Centre Apartments as not just a place to live, but a community. It’s the on-site staff and personal attention that make the difference. For more information on Sheppard Centre Apartments, visit the award-winning and informative website www.

TO PACK,

OR NOT TO PACK …

oving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service. Take packing, for example. Some clients want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turn key solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose what’s best for you.

BY DAN HOPKINS may shift inside the carton and break or chip as a result. Professional packers have the experience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and they pack accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first. Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced.

THE DIY PACKER At Two Men and a Truck, trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as required, and we sell a full range of packing supplies. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful move. There are also significant considerations to keep in mind, such as not packing explosive or flammable items in the general boxes.

THE PROFESSIONAL PACKER Most who choose to pack themselves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing. The most critical element in packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to your new home or business. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed well, but

Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry. Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers, newsprint, markers, pads and bubble wrap – and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5 cubic-foot box that is often referred to as a book or record box. It’s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lampshade box, which is 3 cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and 6 cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the moving materials that are available today. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing topnotch service.

Bringing home

When Grimsby couple Patricia and Frank came to our firm, they asked us

mid-century modern design

They wanted it to be calm and relaxing,

// by Yanic Simard

yet still have a sophisticated edge to it. I

// photographed by Brandon Barre

to design the front den of their home to become a multifunctional getaway where the family of five could relax and hang out, and also use as a makeshift office area when working from home.

then knew right away that this space would host an eclectic mix of furnishings including those inspired by the mid-century modern era.

TheRentersGuide.ca Mid-Century Modern: a period which began mid 1940s and continued to the mid 1960s, was all about simplicity, clean lines, organic lines and of course quality construction. It was design ahead of its time and remains classic to this day. TheRentersGuide.ca 78G

When my firm Toronto Interior Design Group first came in, the white walls were bare and there was little furniture in the room. The TheRentersGuide.ca possibilities were endless, as the clients allowed us to really let our imagination run wild with

TheRentersGuide.ca

this project and trusted us completely with whatever we wanted to do. The first task was determining the floor plan and flow of the space. After trying several different configurations on paper, we decided to incorporate a small sofa, desk and two lounge chairs, which could be used for either working at the desk area or moved toward the sofa for a conversation area – perfect for the purpose they wanted the room to serve. After the homeowners fell in love with the floor plan, it was time to create a design they would fall in love with too. Our starting point in terms of the design was painting the walls in Benjamin Moore’s OC-23 Classic Gray (my go-to shade) and then coming up with this unique feature wall which is a combination of alternating mirror slabs and grass cloth wallpaper installed on MDF – this adds instant drama to the room while still remaining quite subtle. We then moved on to sourcing the furniture; we decided to go with a custom sofa, floating glass top desk and two of my favourite beautiful mid-century inspired Brno chairs, which we re-covered in a luxurious velvet for a more personalized look. The small space room was really beginning to take shape. Fast forwarding to the finishing touches, we brought in a mix of chrome and brass, which really balanced out the entire look, while also adding the edge and sophistication that Patricia and Frank longed for. For a hint of exotic, a natural brown cowhide rug hugs the floor, while extremely textural horse sculptures linger in the background near the retro looking walnut lamp. But the element that we all felt really brought life to the room was this amazing art piece by world photographer Tony Koukos. However, the real key component that tied this space together takes me back to the beginning of this article – the mid-century items. The beauty of them, which you can notice from looking at this space, is that they would work well in any setting effortlessly, while always remaining timeless. These pieces are such a great way in connecting the old world with the new and in adding a touch of elegance to any interior. My job at this residence was done when the homeowners told me they absolutely loved their new den and that they have been using the space every day – another happy client, which keeps me motivated to continue doing what I’m doing. For help with your interior design project, visit tidg.ca and fill out a client information form. We look forward to hearing from you!

Creating the iconic mid-century look

› Incorporate a sunburst – weather in a mirror or clock, this design is a staple for this period › The use of a neutral wall colour – to let the splendor of the furniture speak for itself › Mixing of materials such as glass, wood and metal

Influential Designers of the Mid Century Period › Henry Miller

› Ray and Charles Eames › Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.

Nanaimo Squares Directions

Cream butter and sugar together, then add beaten egg and mix (or if you don’t like to use raw egg — melt first three ingredients in top of double boiler, then add the raw egg, stirring to cook and thicken, then remove from heat). Continue by stirring in crumbs, coconut, and nuts. Press firmly into an ungreased 9 by 9-inch pan. My Mom uses a glass pyrex dish, which I think works better. Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Cool. Once cool, but still liquid, pour over second layer spreading evenly. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into squares, serve and enjoy.

y Mom used to make Nanaimo Squares when I was a child. She made other desserts too, but her Nanaimo Squares were the absolute best. ‘Sweet’ doesn’t even begin to describe these delectable little wonders. They start with a crumb base, followed by a layer of light custard buttercream, topped with a smooth glossy layer of semi sweet chocolate. Best of all, you don’t have to bake them. A true Canadian original, Nanaimo, B.C. claim these squares as their own, when Mabel Jenkins submitted her original recipe in the 1950’s for a local fundraising cookbook. More recently however, a contest was held in 1986, inititated by the Mayor of Nanaimo, to find the ultimate recipe, and Joyce Hardcastle was the winner. They’re famous for a good reason — they’re just plain delicious. There are all sorts of recipes out there which add peanut butter or peppermint, but my Mom’s are the best! Mom’s Nanaimo Squares ingredients

Summer living

Making the most of your building’s grounds BY JANE HERMAN

rom summer’s official beginning on June 21 there are only 10 weekends until Labour Day. Canada’s short, spectacular summer means a plan for making the most of the all-too-brief great weather is paramount. When it comes to summer fun, consider your carbon footprint and instead of traveling, take full advantage of what’s TheRentersGuide.ca right in your own backyard. From building amenities to neighbourhood parks, pools and other facilities you can have TheRentersGuide.ca a lot of fun and enjoy the good weather – and don’t need to be spending a lot of money.

renters’ help

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR AMENITIES If your building has an indoor or outdoor pool make it a priority to take advantage of this luxury! You might find that a refreshing dip after work is just what you need on a hot summer day to cool off and unwind. Or to enjoy the resort lifestyle you might prefer to take a book or e-reader, a non-breakable refillable bottle of your favourite (non-alcoholic) drink, and “pool-sit.” Just plunk yourself down in one of the chaises around the pool and surrender to your imagination – close your eyes, fall into a relaxing sleep, or pretend you are at your favourite beach anywhere in the world. Just escaping from the pressure of getting around in traffic will make you feel like you have had a vacation! If you have kids, why not organize a Family Swim Day? Be sure to clear the idea with building management first, then canvas friends and other families with children in the building. Post a flyer on your building bulletin board or near the elevator. Plan for additional fun with swim relays, diving for rings, races or games like Marco Polo. If you don’t have a pool on the premises, check out the local community centre or other neighbourhood facilities. From full-sized pools with diving boards to little wading pools and splash pads for the kids to cool off, pools provide hours of fun and lots of special memories. Depending on where you live, you might even be close to a public beach or even swimmable lake at a conservation area. Just be sure to practice water safety at all times and keep a close watch on all kids and toddlers. ENJOY YOUR GREENSPACE Shared greenspace is one of the TheRentersGuide.ca advantages of apartment living. It’s yours to enjoy, without any of the work of home gardening. If your building has

a suitable lawn or garden area, consider organizing a communal picnic for a hot summer evening. Ask everyone to contribute something – from drinks to salad, pot luck dishes and fruit or dessert – or invite families to bring their own food and spread out on blankets in the grass. If you don’t have enough greenspace, consider convening at the neighbourhood park for a game of softball. Snacks and drinks can be packed up in insulated bags and enjoyed on picnic tables in the cool shade. NEIGHBOURHOOD PARKS AND AMENITIES Wherever you live, you don’t have to travel far to find beautiful parks, walking trails, and scenery. Studies have shown that people who walk regularly in forested or heavily landscaped areas have better immune systems than those who don’t. On some trails you would

never know you were in the middle of a big city. Cycling is also a great summer recreational activity that can be enjoyed by children and adults of all ages. This summer, make it a priority to visit a few new parks, ravines or public spaces either by bike or on foot. Remember to enjoy your free time, and not just stay inside. Don’t let summer slip away! Make every day count.

quicktips

disciplined delegator or drill sergeant? by Hellen Buttigieg

Whether you live alone or have a full house, there’s no reason you can’t have organization. The difference is, when it’s just you on your own, it takes discipline, while when living with others everyone has to do their part. You should be able to teach organizational systems and delegate responsibilities so that everyone in the family has a part in keeping the house in order, whether it’s your spouse putting the mail and paid bills in the right folders or the kids putting their toys back in the right place. You shouldn’t have to be the drill sergeant – repeating the same requests week in and week out. Everyone needs to learn to do their part and work together to keep the house in top shape.

the ‘go-to’ bin Provide a personalized ‘go-to’ bin for each member of the family for things that don’t belong in the room. It keeps items together but out of sight until they’re returned to their proper place. Reserve a few minutes every day, perhaps before dinner, to do the ‘dash’. Each person empties his or her bin by returning the contents to the right place. the ‘inbox’ Complementing the ‘go-to’ bin, create a family mail centre to manage paper flow. Create inboxes for each member of the family. These can be anything from wall-mounted pockets to magazine holders on a shelf. Keep them easily accessible. When paperwork comes into your home, sort it into each family member’s box. Items that need to be signed for school go into a parent’s box. someone else’s clutter got you down? We’ve all heard that opposites attract, but if your partner’s organizing style is drastically different from yours, it can be frustrating for both of you. Before you are tempted to try and change your behavior (or his/hers), keep in mind that the change will be short-lived if you are getting organized for someone else’s approval but will last if you do it because you value the relationship. has your dining room table become a dumping ground? In many homes, seldom-used flat surfaces often become drop zones for mail, books and any other items that don’t have a home. To save your table from becoming a breeding ground for clutter, bring out the china and silverware and set it for a formal dinner. It will be nicer to look at than a mountain of clutter and will actually prevent people from piling their possessions on it.

TheRentersGuide.ca leave with everything you need Clear a shelf in a bookcase near the back entrance and designate the area as a special place to corral items each family member must have to leave the house. For kids, it will serve as home to permission slips, lunch boxes, homework, library books and projects. For adults, it will hold handbags, briefcases, car keys, and dry cleaning. Add a different-colored plastic dishpan for each family TheRentersGuide.ca member or use attractive square baskets clearly labeled with each

person’s name. When family members come home, they can toss their belongings into their basket until they need them again the next morning. his and her filing systems minimize conflict If you share a filing system with your spouse, how’s that working for you? Often, couples have different organizing styles (as I mentioned, opposites attract). To keep the peace, consider having separate filing systems. If you pay the household bills, keep those documents in your filing system and if your partner takes care of household repairs and receipts, they can keep track of that in their own filing system. Another option is to acknowledge your differences and assign the task of filing and retrieving documents solely to the person who is most comfortable with it. on schedule Keep a family calendar to keep track of everyone’s activities. Designate a central location where everyone can see it. Let each family member choose a colour and have each person enter their activities (if they are old enough) on the schedule using their colour. Preparation Reduce stress and frustration in the mornings by preparing the night before, when you’re not feeling as rushed. Decide what you are going to wear, make sure it’s clean and pressed, and lay it out with any accessories you plan to wear with it. It only takes a few minutes but will save you so much time and aggravation in the morning. Encourage your spouse and children to start this habit too, and enjoy more morning time.

Ice cream

with a side of bacon

To have some fun this summer season, Smucker’s sundae specialist, Sarah Palter suggests putting a twist on a traditional sundae.

hile bacon is most often paired with eggs and toast, Canadian chefs are now taking this savoury treat off the breakfast plate and adding it to popular desserts. Bacon sundaes might sound a little different, but the sweet and savoury blend of candied bacon, maple ice cream and caramel syrup melts perfectly in the mouth and is sure to please any palette.

PreP Time: 5 minuTes makes: 1 sundae Freezing: noT recommended

TheRentersGuide.ca

1 large scoop (about 1 cup/250mL) maple ice cream

ingredienTs: candied Bacon: 6 strips uncooked bacon 1/4 cup (50mL) brown sugar 1 strip candied bacon, crumbled 2 tbsp (30mL) Smucker’s Sundae Syrup Caramel Flavoured Syrup Sea salt to taste

Additional bacon for garnish Additional caramel syrup

TheRentersGuide.ca

To candy the bacon, combine bacon and brown sugar in small bowl, making sure that sugar evenly coats both sides of bacon. Place on barbecue grill over medium heat and grill 3–4 minutes per side or until crispy and golden brown. Cool. Once complete, combine syrup, crumbled bacon and sea salt in small bowl. Set aside. Meanwhile, place ice cream in serving dish. Drizzle with caramel bacon mixture. Garnish with additional bacon and caramel syrup if needed. Tip: To cook bacon in the oven, preheat broiler to high. Line a 10 by 15-in. (23cm x 38cm) rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan with foil. Place rack in pan. Lay sugar coated bacon strips on rack. Broil, four to fiveTheRentersGuide.ca minutes on high, turn and continue broiling approximately three minutes longer or until browned. Remove and cool. NC

How to create tHe perfect

guest bedroom by EvElyn Eshun

When creating a guest room, it is often

important to create a self-contained suite where your guest can be comfortable and find most of the personal comforts of home. Just think of a hotel suite and the various elements that can be found within it. The bed is the key piece of furniture in a bedroom so it’s important to make it a luscious and welcoming TheRentersGuide.ca space. You can’t go wrong with classic crisp white bedding — get the best quality bedding you can find and afford and your guest will have a memorable and restful sleep. Storage for clothing is a must so that your guests can put away their clothes which TheRentersGuide.ca gives them a sense of permanence in the room. A

chair and a table surface are needed for multi-tasking as it gives them an opportunity to sit and write or simply chat on the phone. Don’t forget to add an alarm clock with a radio, and a mirror for personal grooming — these items are often an oversight. This bedroom was created with the aim of making it welcoming and warm with lots of storage to maintain a neat and clean look. We incorporated built-in storage on either side of the bed to include TheRentersGuide.ca full-depth 24-inch hanging closet space with nightstands at the standard 26-inch height. This complete unit was painted a muted deep blue-grey colour (Duxbury Grey, Benjamin

TheRentersGuide.ca

If tHe guest room does not Have an ensuIte batH, provIde tHe room wItH a guest package wHIcH Includes Items lIke: towels, guest soap, a manIcure set, water and a glass.

Moore HC 163). This creates a focal wall and is ultimately a very functional addition to the overall space as well. The monochromatic colour scheme is continued in the bedding with silk accent pillows. Lighting is always a key component to any successful interior, and in this bedroom we added task lighting with the wallmounted elbow lights that flank the bed. The ceiling-mounted light fixture is a sophisticated light feature with its crystal and translucent shade that soften the light in the space. If the guest room does not have an ensuite bath, provide the room with a guest package which includes items like: towels, guest soap, a manicure set, water and a glass. A small pouch filled with TheRentersGuide.ca lavender not only will ensure a wonderful, restful sleep but it is a much welcomed luxury.

Guest Room CheCklist: › Use a calm and cosy colour scheme, stick to two colours maximum with muted shades › Ensure that there is adequate lighting with task lighting at the bed for late night reading › Provide seating and a table surface for writing › Provide a collection of towels, extra blankets and other personal need items so that your guest does not have to knock on your bedroom door to ask for them › Seasonal fresh flowers and water on the night table to welcome your guest is a thoughtful touch › Night stands or simple side tables beside the bed for a place to rest personal items › Adequate storage for clothing › Bedside alarm clock with a radio › Provide a mirror, especially if there is no ensuite bath

How to host a hassle-free cookout • Check for hoses that are cracked or damaged – if they are, have them replaced before use. • Clean in and around each burner with a small, flexible brush to ensure there are no dead insects or spiders blocking propane or gas flow. When lighting the barbecue: • Always keep the lid open until the barbeque is fully lit. • If your burner doesn’t light, or the flame goes out, turn the barbecue off for five minutes to allow gas to dissipate and then relight. After you’re done: • Turn the gas off before you turn off the grill to ensure there’s no gas remaining in the tubes. • Close the lid to protect your grill from the elements.

• Once cool, put on a protective cover.

Get the grill ready: Before you even set the menu, get outside and give your barbecue a TheRentersGuide.ca thorough safety check. Here are a few key things to check on a regular basis:

Pay attention for changes with your barbecue, especially when lighting. Warning signs that it is due for service may include repeated ignition delays and an inability to light the burner.

• Always review the manufacturer’s instructions at the beginning of each grilling season to remind yourself of proper use and maintenance. TheRentersGuide.ca

More safety tips can be found online at enbridgegas.com/safety. NC

ne sure sign of summer is the distinct smell of delicious food on the grill. No matter whether you’ll be serving your family and friends hamburgers or steaks, here are some tips to keep your cookout safe, courtesy of the specialists in this field at Enbridge Gas Distribution:

Another reminder is that propane tanks do run out, usually right in the middle of grilling your steak. Avoid hungry guests and half-cooked hot dogs by checking your propane tank before you start. If you have a natural gas barbecue you don’t have to worry about ever running out of fuel. Running a grill on natural gas is not only more reliable, it’s cheaper too.

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman

re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________

TheRentersGuide.ca

Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry TheRentersGuide.ca

facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape TheRentersGuide.ca measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease

hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a “lease.”

Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms. To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: • The names of the landlord and tenant(s). • The address of the home or apartment you are renting. • The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking, cable television or other services. • The date when the rent is due (for example, on the ﬁrst day of each month).

TheRentersGuide.ca • The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed to pay.

• A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility. • The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week). • The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including ﬁnancial implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice). • The rules or restrictions for subletting the property. • The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future. • Any other speciﬁc restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.). • Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment. • The procedure for making changes to the contract. • A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example, disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction). • Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an

emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email). For more information or a free copy of CMHC’s Guide to Renting a Home, call CMHC at 1-800-6682642 or visit our website at www. cmhc.ca.

Packing Tips and List Tips to make your move a little easier. Packing TiPs

❏ ❏

Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.

❏

Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.

❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏

Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.

❏

Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.

❏

Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack

Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.

Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)

general moving TiPs

❏ Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.

❏ Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.

❏ To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.

❏ Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

Summer Safety ideaS and time saving tips

• Always ask what the purpose of the visit is – Anyone who comes to your door should have no problem identifying themselves and the company they represent. For example, Enbridge Gas Distribution employees always show ID and state exactly why they’re at your door. • Beware of false claims – If someone seems suspicious, report it. Don’t hesitate to call the company they are working for to confirm they have sent an employee to your house before you let them in. Reduce the time you spend managing your bills In the summer the last thing anyone wants to do is spend extra time indoors. Check out what services companies offer to help you reduce the time it takes to manage your bills. For example:

s a consumer in Ontario, you have many rights and services at your disposal. Why not take a few minutes to review some ways to keep your family safe and save yourself some time? That will leave you with more free time to enjoy the seasonal activities you love.

Know who’s knocking at your door The warm weather can bring a lot of unfamiliar people into your neighbourhood. If TheRentersGuide.ca they knock at your door, here are a few tips offered by Enbridge Gas Distribution: • Always ask for identification – Anytime someone comes to your door to sell you a product or service something in your home always as to see ID from the company they represent.

TheRentersGuide.ca

• Consider going paperless. This cuts down on your filing and paperwork, and is great for the environment. • Evaluate whether a pre-authorized payment plan works for you. This can help you avoid missing payments while you’re up at the cottage or otherwise busy. • Look into consolidation options. Many companies offer bundling, which can reduce the number of statements you receive a month. Ask your various service providers what they offer. This is the perfect time to keep these tips in mind.

Unhappiness & the Fear oF

not Fitting in

Social pressure to conform isn’t in your imagination. It’s real. B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

f it’s such common sense to only spend what you can afford, why do so many TheRentersGuide.ca people spend money they don’t have – use credit, in other words – to buy things TheRentersGuide.ca they want? TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

finances Think about it for a minute? Why did you whip out your credit card and pay for that meal in a restaurant, pair of new shoes, or groceries? Why did you buy that big screen TV on a buy-now-paylater program? Why did you use your line of credit to pay off your credit card? Be honest. Why? People want to maintain lifestyles they can’t afford. Whether it is the social pressure to conform, our own sense of entitlement, or a disregard for the potential risk we place ourselves in when we use credit to buy “stuff”, we’re delusional. There are actually people out there who believe that using credit is normal, that it’s what they should be doing. After all, their parents did it, their brother’s doing it, so is their best friend. In fact, most of the people they know are doing it. It’s as if people are afraid to just be. They have to drive the right car, go on an annual cruise, have new leather furniture, watch a high-definition, bigscreen television, eat out three or four times a week, drink the best Scotch, or consume store-bought coffee every day. And they’re willing to exchange hours, days, months, years of peace of mind for the momentary high that comes with the new acquisition. Whazzup with that? Social pressure to conform isn’t in your imagination. It’s real. But if you submit, if you’re willing to live a life of smoke and mirrors, if you want it all right now, then you need to accept that you’re creating a miserable life for yourself. It’s only a matter of time before the piper comes a’knocking. One way to gain some perspective is to ask yourself (and your partner) what it is you really want in life. If you only had six months left on this sweet Earth, what would you want to be doing? Would you be shopping for new furniture? Would TheRentersGuide.ca the kind of car you drive really make a difference? How about the handbag you’re carrying?

I often talk to my daughter, Alex, about how important it is to live a worthwhile life: A life that brings challenge and love, that allows you to share, to laugh, and to be happy. So, what are the things that make your life worthwhile? And what are you doing to put more of the things that make you happy into your life? Want a great book to read on happiness. Read The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding modern truth in ancient wisdom by Jonathan Haidt, Associate Professor of Psychology University of Virginia. Terrific book. Lots of great ideas on what makes us happy and what you can do to be happier. If you love your life (as opposed to your stuff), relish the time you spend working, look forward to seeing the people you share your space with, and feel as if you’re making a difference, I don’t think the kind of car you drive, whether you

have a big-screen TV, or how often you eat in a fancy restaurant will mean much. If you can focus on creating the life you want, taking small steps to achieve your goals and finding a way to laugh while you’re doing it, I’m willing to bet you won’t even miss your credit cards. As Jonathan Haidt’s website (www.happinesshypothesis.com) says,“Happiness is not the shallow state of feeling pleased and chipper all the time. Happiness is the state of a human being that has achieved cross-level coherence within herself, and between herself and the people, challenges, and institutions around her. Happiness comes from between.”

SpotleSS floorS

are yours with clever technology

ith a little guidance and the right tools, cleaning your floors can be done in no time – and can also save you the expense and headache of sending heavy loads, like area rugs, out for professional cleaning. The problem areas to tackle skillfully on any rug, say the pros, are spills and stains, dug-in grime, and tightly tangled hair around the fibres – all of which require examination before you proceed. “Every household should have a few reliable tools for do-ityourself maintenance, especially homes with growing families and pets,” says Andrew Santoni at appliance innovator, Electrolux.“Indeed, it is due to advancements in technology that daily housework routines are now so much easier.” A specialized vacuum for rugs and bare floor cleaning is one essential tool, he says, emphasizing that regular and thorough vacuuming is a key factor in maintaining a healthy and clean home environment. To reduce or eliminate inefficiencies try these few steps: Vacuum: • Do it frequently and thoroughly. Just one person sheds at least one hundred hairs and one million skin cells every day, so be sure to vacuum at least once per week in less trafficked areas and up to twice per week in high traffic areas, like the kitchen, bathrooms and front entranceway. • Use a speedier appliance. One of the persistent gripes when vacuuming, Santoni tells us, is the number of times one needs to stop, shear-off, or untangle a clogged brushroll. Now, a new innovation from Electrolux called Brushroll Clean Technology solves the problem with the touch of a button. This new feature is particularly popular with the latest Ergorapido model, selling now for around $150. It’s a slender stick vacuum with the instant ability to pick up long hair, matted clumps, thread fibers and TheRentersGuide.ca any kind of pet hair – and it can be converted into a detachable hand vacuum for crevices and tight corners. Better still, he says, the Ergorapido is cordless (with a rechargeable battery) and is really light to carry. At only 2.4 kilograms and with 180-degree swivel power, you can take it anywhere to easily vacuum under TheRentersGuide.ca couches, beds and kitchen stools.

Remove the stains: • Tackle spills immediately if possible. Blot or scrape the entire area first. • Before using any cleaning solution, test your carpet for discolouration in an inconspicuous spot. Don’t rub or you could spread the problem. • In an emergency, a teaspoon of mild detergent mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar in a bowl of warm water will deal with stains as alcohol, chocolate, coffee, fruit stains, gravy, soft drinks, urine and blood. Clean: TheRentersGuide.ca • Read the label of a carpet cleaning product for suitability and follow the instructions. Move furniture out and use single, one-way strokes across the pile for best results. NC

Choosing the right chair begins with comfort! by jane lockhart

h the ubiquitous chair! Loved by father-in-laws the world over; everfashionable, yet necessary in just about all we do today in our daily lives. How uncomfortable life would be without this great mastery of design, function, style and comfort, which often leads to the question of which chair design is the right one for the function and style at hand? Since you may be seated as you read this, take a moment to ask yourself, “How comfortable am I presently?” Choosing the right chair begins with comfort. This includes its level of overall support and seat depth.

Different seated activities require that a chair perform for varied levels of comfort. For instance, if you wish to choose a chair for primarily television watching, then find one with a higher back which supports your neck and shoulders. However, if you want to curl up and read a book, pick a larger, deeper style that allows you to bring your legs up into the seat. For less leisurely activities, choose a chair with a shorter, firmer seat and a rigid back. In addition to back and seat depth, arm height can play a role in the overall function and comfort of your seat. High arms which match the height of the chair back give it a boxier look and keep the occupant facing forward. This is a more formal chair style, as you would be unlikely to lean back and lounge for long periods of time. Low-armed chairs tend to put sitters more at ease, leaving room to relax and kick back more freely within a chair’s structure. Armless chairs are the most casual option, as users can sit any which way, on all edges of the seat, as there are no arms to restrict movement. But beware – this type of chair can be uncomfortable for those who just don’t know where to rest their arms!

Since you may be Seated aS you read thiS, take a moment to aSk yourSelf, “How comfortable am I presently?”

As we all get older, the question of back support often causes a quick glance over to our favourite lounge chair and spurs the question: “Just how much support is necessary as we age?” For many, more lumbar or tighter lower back construction can aid in better posture and comfort. This may mean that a fitted back rather than lots of fluffy pillows is a necessity. Now, with function out of the way, comes the question of style. Here is where the possibilities seem endless! Modern, traditional, upholstered or wood – how to decide what look is right for your space? In general, fully upholstered chairs are perceived as more comfortable and permanent. These fit rooms where more seated activities will occur, such as television watching or conversation. Wooden chairs with back and seat upholstery are best in more flexible use, as they are easier to move and less heavy in appearance. Slipper chairs or armless chairs work well in bedrooms or tight spaces, as they appear soft and comfortable, but not big or obtrusive. Fabric texture, pattern and colour all play a role in the perceived style of a chair. Modern chairs can look more traditional by sticking to colour schemes and patterns that fit this style, while a Louis IV wood arm chair can take on a modern flavour when painted black and upholstered in suede or leather. As a result, never ignore the classics and conversely, always consider new colours for an older piece as the overall style of a chair can be drastically altered by these decisions. The key to any good chair choice is to “test drive” your chair options before you purchase. Never rely on pictures alone, as the comfort of a chair will determine its long-term use and overall effectiveness within a space. If a chair is comfortable, it will be the most sought-after spot in your home for years to come. Just ask your father-in-law who refuses to give up his living room seat to just about anyone – he could well be sitting on some real wisdom!

From grocery bag to garbage New study shows Canadian households wasting more than $2.5 billion of fresh produce each year

very time they go grocery shopping, Canadians spend approximately 34 per cent of their weekly grocery budget on produce, but a significant portion of fruits and vegetables get tossed in the garbage each year. In fact, a new study commissioned by KitchenAid brand* shows the average Canadian spends approximately $40.80/week on fresh produce but will throw out close to 10 per cent of their purchase – cumulatively wasting billions of dollars** worth of uneaten fruits and vegetables each year. But what many Canadians don’t know is that they are unknowingly shortening the lifespan of their produce simply by storing it improperly. Thirtynine per cent of respondents did not know that certain fruits and vegetables should be stored separately to ensure maximum freshness. TheRentersGuide.ca For example, produce like apples and green onions emit ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process and can cause undesired changes in taste TheRentersGuide.ca and texture. Others like spinach and yams are

sensitive to this gas and should be stored separately from ethylene producing fruits and vegetables. With more than half of Canadians (55 per cent) willing to pay more for premium fruits and vegetables, be it organic, locally grown or free trade, it’s important to know what they can do to extend the lifespan of their food. To keep your food fresher longer, KitchenAid has a collection of refrigerators equipped to tackle humidity, ethylene gas and odours - all of which contribute to over-ripening. The KitchenAid Preserva Food Care System is an exclusive system designed to control humidity and temperature inside the fridge and freezer with two truly independent cooling systems; the system also includes a FreshFlow Produce Preserver to absorb ethylene gas and a FreshFlow air filter to reduce odours that can rob foods of their freshness. This refrigeration innovation can actually help delay over-ripening by up to 25 per cent in commonly purchased produce - a key benefit for Canadians, as 68 per cent of those surveyed said they would buy more produce each shopping trip if they knew it would last longer. “The freshest possible ingredients are the foundation for a great recipe, but not everyone has time to run to the market numerous times during the week,” says celebrity chef Lynn Crawford. “KitchenAid refrigerators with the Preserva Food Care System help extend the lifespan of produce so you can buy fresh ingredients with the confidence in knowing that your refrigerator will maximize their taste and texture.” Here are a few more fresh facts from KitchenAid brand: The average Canadian spends $121/week on groceries. TheRentersGuide.ca Thirty per cent of Canadians shop for produce twice/week. Ontario and British Columbia residents spend more on produce compared to the Atlantic Provinces (Ontario - $41.70/week, British

TheRentersGuide.ca

Columbia â€“ $43.90/week), the Atlantic provinces spend the least with an average of $29.80/week. 18 to 34 year olds spend 26 per cent more on produce weekly compared to 35 to 44 year olds ($49.70 vs. $39.40). Forty five per cent of Canadians say they frequently throw away lettuce followed by: Bananas - 41 per cent Tomatoes - 24 per cent Grapes - 23 per cent Celery - 19 per cent Nine in 10 Canadians feel guilty about throwing away uneaten fresh produce. About KitchenAid Brand: Since the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919 and first dishwasher in 1949, KitchenAid has built on the legacy of these icons to create a complete line of products designed for cooks. Today, the KitchenAid brand offers virtually every essential for the well-equipped kitchen with a collection that includes everything from countertop appliances to cookware, ranges to refrigerators, and whisks to wine cellars. KitchenAid believes that preparing and sharing food together is a wonderful way to connect with family and friends. Visit www.KitchenAid.ca to learn more. * A survey of 1501 Canadians was completed online between May 21 and May 23, 2013 using Legerâ€™s online panel, LegerWeb. A probability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of +/- 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20. ** Canadian households (13, 320, 600 [based on 2011 Census data] multiplied by

But what can really make your temperature rise is trying to convince the kids to eat their veggies. Don’t sweat it—transforming traditional, bland leafy sides into a main attraction can be easy.

For a new twist on summer greens, consider the grilled chicken salad recipe below. Grilled chicken and pineapple infused with honey garlic sauce will add variety to your tossed greens and have your kids begging for more veggies. Grilled ChiCken Salad with PineaPPle ServeS 4 1 cup (250mL) VH Honey Garlic Sauce plus remainder of bottle for grilling 1 ½ lb (650g) chicken breast, boneless, skinless cut into thick strips 7TheRentersGuide.ca oz (210g) mixed greens

¼ cup (60mL) red onion, finely diced 1 x 14 oz (398mL) can of pineapple chunks, drained PAM Grilling Spray Asian-style dressing (i.e. sesame, mandarin etc.) TheRentersGuide.ca

direCtionS 1 Marinate chicken breast strips in 1 cup (250mL) VH Honey Garlic Sauce for 1 hour. 2 Spray grill with PAM Grilling Spray, heat grill and grill chicken over medium high heat until cooked through, about 7 minutes. 3 In a large bowl place pineapple, red onion and greens. Just before serving toss with dressing, put salad onto individual plates and top with equal amounts of grilled chicken. Too busy to whip up dinner? Consider picking up a few VH Steamers, VH’s new line of frozen entrees. Jam-packed with crisp vegetables and Asian-inspired flavours, these quick and easy meals can be prepped in less than five minutes. Additional recipe ideas can be found TheRentersGuide.ca online www.vhsauces.com. Handson recipe demonstrations or episodes of VH’s webseries Life Unjarred are available at lifeunjarred.com. NC
