Add A Patriotic Flair To Your Fourth Of July Party By Family Features June 27, 2024 Share Break out the red, white and blue and (safely) set off your favorite fireworks - it's time to honor America's birthday. Along with all the booms and blasts, make sure your crowd is satisfied with one of the country's most beloved snack foods and a true firecracker in the kitchen: popcorn. Celebrated for its seed-to-snack simplicity, popcorn's smell, taste and versatility mean it can enhance any occasion as a budget-friendly solution for family gatherings. As a timeless treat nationwide, it's an especially perfect partner for Fourth of July get-togethers as it bursts while cooking and brings a thrill to the senses. Whether your gathering will take place poolside, in air-conditioned comfort or while watching spectacular fireworks shows among the backdrop of the night sky, tasty treats that honor the occasion allow you to show off your patriotic pride. These Peanut Butter Cups are an ideal summer snack that's easy to prepare with everyday ingredients. All you need to do is melt together Peanut Butter, Butter and Marshmallows then mix in Popcorn, Shredded Wheat, Peanuts and Raisins. Bake in individual paper liners for grab-and-go convenience then share with your nearest and dearest. For added flair, use American flag-themed liners or finish your creation with toothpicks connected to miniature American flags. Add a touch of heat to this year's celebrations with Cinnamon Candy Poppers that bring a real bang to the snack table. Inspired by those classic firecrackers that a Fourth of July party can't go without, these balls of ooey-gooey goodness provide a truly patriotic spark. Peanut Butter Cups Yield: 24 cups • 1/2 Cup of Peanut Butter • 1/2 Cup of Butter or Margarine • 1 Package 10 1/2 Ounces of Miniature Marshmallows • 6 Cups of Freshly Popped Popcorn • 6 Cups of spoon-size Shredded Wheat • 1 Cup of Dry Roasted Peanuts • 1 Cup of Raisins Preheat the oven to 250 F. In a microwave on high heat using a large, microwavable bowl, melt the Peanut Butter and the Butter for 1 minute. Add the Marshmallows and microwave it on high for 1 minute, or until the Marshmallows puff; stir. Add the Popcorn, the Shredded Wheat, the Peanuts and the Raisins; stir gently. Place paper liners in two 12-cup muffin pans. Divide the mixture into 24 cups. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and store the "cups" in an airtight container. Cinnamon Candy Poppers Yield: 24 balls Nonstick Cooking Spray • 3 Quarts of Popped Popcorn • 4 Tablespoons, 1/2 stick of Butter or Margarine • 3 Cups of Miniature Marshmallows • 1/2 Cup of Cinnamon-Flavored Candies • Red and Blue Confection Stars • Red Licorice String Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on the work surface and spray it with the Nonstick Cooking Spray. Spray a large mixing bowl lightly with Nonstick Cooking Spray and place the Popcorn inside. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the Butter. Stir in the Marshmallows until they are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour it over the Popcorn. Add the Cinnamon Candies and mix it well until it is coated. Spray your hands with Nonstick Cooking Spray and form the mixture into 24 balls. Gently press the Red and Blue Stars onto each ball. Place a piece of Licorice String on top of each ball. A Fruit-Infused Fourth of July If Popcorn isn't your thing then maybe enjoy a fruit-infused Fourth of July. Summer is a perfect time to make fruit the star of the show, and Fourth of July is no exception. These special occasions can be uplifted with the aroma and flavor of Apples. Apples versatility makes them ideal for sweet treats like these Apple and Berry Cream Cheese Tarts for a patriotic touch with red, white and blue pops of color. These tasty bites are shareable, handheld and festive, making them a savvy solution that keeps entertaining simple. Just combine the Cream Cheese, the Powdered Sugar, the Vanilla and the Milk, pipe it onto the baked Tart Shells and top them with the Raspberries, the Blueberries and the Star-Shaped Apple Cutouts. Better yet, you can even swap out the Raspberries for preferred red fruits like Strawberries or Cherries, if desired. If all the planning and entertaining leaves you short on time, turn to these Patriotic Apple "Donuts" that swap out traditional dough for thick, round Apple Slices topped with Cream Cheese and Sprinkles. With just a few ingredients, you can slice the Apples then let little ones in on the fun by spreading the Cream Cheese and decorating them with the Sprinkles. The craveable texture and crunch of Envy Apples provides balanced sweetness for these favorite desserts and beyond, giving guests the ultimate Apple experience for all your Fourth of July festivities. They're an appealing backdrop for pops of red and white in patriotic recipes as their flesh remains whiter longer, even after cutting or slicing, so they look fresh and delicious throughout the holiday. Apple And Berry Cream Cheese Tarts • 1 Cup of Diced Raspberries • 4 Tablespoons of Sugar, divided • 1 Cup of Halved Blueberries • 1 Package of Cream Cheese, softened • 1/2 Cup of Powdered Sugar • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract • 1/4 Cup of Milk • 12 Frozen Mini Tart Shells, approximately 2 inches in diameter • 3 Envy Apples, cut into 12 Large Slices around the Cores In a bowl, stir the Raspberries and 2 Tablespoons of Sugar. In a separate bowl, stir the Blueberries and the remaining Sugar. Let it sit for 30-60 minutes. Beat together the Cream Cheese, the Powdered Sugar, the Vanilla and the Milk. Spoon it into a piping bag and cut off the small part of the tip. Bake the Tart Shells according to the package’s directions. Once baked and cooled, fill it halfway with the Cream Cheese Mixture. Using a small Star Cookie Cutter, cut shapes from the Apple Slices. Top half of each tart with a spoonful of Raspberries and the other half with the Blueberries. Top each with an Apple Star and repeat with remaining ingredients. Patriotic Apple "Donuts" Servings: 6 • 2 Envy Apples • 2/3 Cup of Whipped Cream Cheese • 6-10 Tablespoons of Red, White and Blue Sprinkles Cut the Apples horizontally to create thick, round slices. Use a round cookie cutter to remove the Apple Cores. Spread the Cream Cheese on the "Donuts" and top them with the Sprinkles.

April Is Stress Awareness Month: Six Stress Reduction Tips For Caregivers April 17, 2024 Share Stress doesn’t just affect your mood—it can have long-term health impacts as well if you don’t take steps to manage it constructively. For individuals who face the stressful task of caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s Disease or another Dementia-Related Illness, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is offering six stress reduction tips for caregivers as part of National Stress Awareness Month (April). “Family caregivers often find it challenging to make time for themselves, but being proactive about addressing caregiver Stress and self-care is not selfish; it’s essential and it benefits both the caregiver and the person for whom they are caring,” said Jennifer Reeder, LCSW, AFA’s Director of Educational and Social Services. “Failing to manage Stress increases the risks of caregiver burnout, Depression, and many other Mental and Physical Health Issues. Caregivers need to take care of themselves so they can provide the best possible care for their loved ones.” Family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s and related Dementias are at greater risk for Anxiety, Depression, and poorer quality of life than caregivers of people with other conditions, and provide care for a longer duration of time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). AFA offers these six Stress reduction tips for family caregivers: Be adaptable and positive. Your attitude influences stress levels for both you and the person you’re caring for. If you can “go with the flow,” and avoid fighting the current, that will help you both stay relaxed—conversely, becoming aggravated or agitated will increase the chances that your person will as well. Focus on how to adjust to the situation in a constructive way. Deal with what you can control. Some things are totally out of your control. What is in your power to control is how you respond and react to these outside factors. Concentrating on finding solutions can help make the problem itself a little less stressful. Set realistic goals and go slow. Everything cannot be resolved at once, nor does it need to be. Don’t hold yourself to unrealistic expectations. Prioritize, set practical goals, do your best to achieve them, and take things one day at a time. Mind your health. Inadequate rest, poor diet, and lack of exercise can all exacerbate Stress (and cause other health problems as well). As best you can, make it a priority to get sleep, eat right, drink plenty of water and find ways to be active. You cannot provide quality care to a loved one if you don’t take care of yourself. Clear and refresh your mind. Exercise, Yoga, Meditating, listening to music or even taking a few deep breaths can all help relax the mind and reduce Stress. Find something that works for you and do it regularly! Share your feelings. Disconnecting from your support structure and staying bottled-up increases Stress. Whether it’s with a loved one, trusted friend or a professional, don’t be reluctant to talk about your Stress, because that can actually help relieve it! AFA’s Helpline has licensed social workers available for caregivers seven days to provide support or even just listen. AFA’s Helpline, staffed entirely by licensed social workers who are specifically trained in Dementia Care, can provide additional information and support for families. The Helpline is available seven days a week by phone at: (866) 232-8484. By Text message at: (646) 586-5283. And Web Chat at: www.alzfdn.org . < Previous News Next News >

"Celebrating Hallandale Beach First Responders" Mayor Joy Cooper Recognizes Dedication and Community Support By Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper August 17, 2023 Share This past Wednesday morning Commissioner Michele Lazarow, Commissioner Joy Adams and I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a breakfast meeting to recognize our first responders. This new quarterly event is being organized by the Hallandale Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and was cosponsored by Memorial Hospital and Oasis. Oasis is the brand-new State-Of-The-Art Mixed-Use Development located at 1100 Hallandale Beach Boulevard. It was such an honor to join in and recognize our Police Department Sergeant Jennifer Higgins and from Broward County BSO Battalion Chief Brian Powell. It has been quite some time since the Hallandale Beach Chamber Of Commerce has done this type of event and we are just so happy they have taken the initiative to celebrate the fine men and women of our departments that protect and serve our community 24/7/365. As Elected Officials, we get to know many of these individuals and truly understand that they not only respond to calls. They go over and above. They ensure that they take the utmost care in addressing critical incidents and the victims that have been involved. It's not news to anyone that over the past five plus years there has been unrest around our nation involving Police Departments. I must say that the incidences that spark devastating riots are not without merit. Departments all have life and death incidents and challenges. It is up to the cities how they are addressed, evaluated and used to improve operations. Our Department for time due to Elected Officials pandering to the national movement to defund police had taken our department and City through very dark times. Luckily we are no longer that city. For years Vice Mayor Annabelle Taub, whose husband is a police officer, continued to ring the bell about Crime and the regretful path our City had gone down placating or manipulating the defund movement. It is a new day in our City and our Commission is the most civil unified Commission our City has seen in over 10 years. We are fully united and support our Police Department 110%. Over the past five years we have made a firm commitment to ensure we continue to invest in technology and continued training efforts for all our Police Officers. Under the leadership of new Chief Michel Michel and his Command Staff that is truly committed to old school community policing our Police Department is fully accredited. We are also on our way to fulfilling the goal of having zero vacancies. This combined with the leadership of City Manager Dr. Earle, we have continued these efforts and I can say through the history of our City we have just gone through the best and most civil union negotiations. We have ensured our officers continue to receive everything they need to know to do their job successfully and receive the just compensation they deserve. This mandate is not simply about salaries, it is about parity and Police Retention. Please don't get these comments wrong. Like every city we do have Crime. We have adopted a Zero Tolerance for Lawlessness. Every resident still has to be vigilant and partner with the City. We all need to do our part in reporting Crime and making sure that we are aware of our surroundings and secure our properties. Sadly, just like in the news there has been gang violence taking place. I assure our residents that the departments are working with Inter-Agency Task Forces to address these Crimes, make arrests, get Illegal Guns off of our street and bring these people to justice. Sergeant Jennifer Higgins has been involved through the Detective Unit to solve some of these Crimes. According to department records she's made over 50 plus arrests and as recently 3 arrests that included seizing Illegal Firearms. Sergeant Higgins is an exceptional Law Enforcement officer and more importantly she is a community policing officer. She goes over and beyond serving our community. It's not unusual for her to have toys and gift items in her car to help people that are in need and victims. We commend her continued service to our community. BSO Chief Master in charge of Hallandale Beach Fire Services was on hand to receive an Award for Battalion Chief Brian Powell. As our residents know we contracted this service out to BSO. We have many new officers and some old officers that are excellent public servants. These FireFighters and EMT’s or like I say “the boots on the ground,” serve our residents during the most traumatic circumstances. They help countless victims and save lives. It's a bit ironic but I had a unique circumstance meeting with Chief Brian Powell for the first time a week ago. I had a freak accident in my home and my Husband was all the way up in Pompano for a meeting. I try to keep my personal life to myself as these articles aren't about me and actually this comment is not about me but the service the EMT's and Chief performed. You see, their service didn't stop after I was taken to the ER. They continued to ensure that the nurse caring for my 93-year-old mom was reassured I was OK. Many residents are unaware but if needed we will do well checks. They went back to my home to make sure they were ok, and the house was made safe. As I said many of our first responders go over and above their call to duty and we salute them. I also want to go on record and repeat what I've said in the past. While Commissioner Butler and I have vocally opposed the merger this opposition was never against any of these officers that put their lives on the line. It has always been about open and transparent evaluation and utilization of our taxpayer dollars. Currently there is a full audit and assessment being performed about Fire Services here in our City, so that discussion will be for another day. As always please feel free to contact me anytime with your questions, concerns, and ideas to make our City a better place! I am available by Email at: jcooper@cohb.org . Or: joycooper@aol.com . At my Office: (954) 457-1318. Or Cell/Text at: 954-632-5700. You can always visit my Facebook and follow me at Mayor Joy Cooper. < Previous News Next News >
