Check out the menus on a professional caterers website for inspiration, and then find recipes online to make your favorite dishes at home. Something like curried popcorn is very budgetfriendly but a guest favorite, and it doesnt look like you just threw a bag of Jiffy Pop in the microwave. Bulk buying also can help save money, and it doesnt have to mean gigantic troughs of potato chips. Instead, buy a few loaves of day-old bread and a case of tomatoes. Cut the bread into small squares, toast them in the oven, and check out Epicurious.com for some topping ideas. You can create a bruschetta station with five different kinds of bruschetta toppingsure to be a crowd pleaser!

farm Markets are good food for thought

KEEP YOUR GROCERY BUdGET IN LINE WHILE YOU SUPPORT LOCAL fARmS
By deBOrah BlackWell | mESSENGER POST mEdIA

Shopping at a farmers market is one of the best things you can do for your health, your community, and your appetite. Whether you want wholesome, locally grown fruits and vegetables, or prefer organic meat, or want to support your local economy, the benefits of shopping at a farmers market are plentiful.

its healthy
Eating locally grown foods picked and served at their peak of freshness are better for us. Health experts maintain that consuming regional produce in season will provide the best nutritional value and what our bodies naturally need at different times of the year. When produce is shipped from many different parts of the world to a local supermarket, the food has usually been tightly packaged and travelled a long distance, oftentimes sitting on a truck and then in a warehouse. Some of the nutritional value and the flavor is lost. Locally grown, unpackaged food provides a higher nutrient content, and is fresh and flavorful.

different foods are readily available year-round.

its Good Value

Utilizing locally grown food in season not only provides the foods that our bodies naturally need at different times of the year, but they are also the most available and therefore cost less. farmers love being part of the local economy, where they can offer fairly-priced, healthy, delicious food to their community. Oftentimes the best deals at the market come towards the end of the day. When you go early to a farmers market you get your pick of the goods, but later the farmers may be eager to sell that days harvest, and offer you a bargain.

it tastes Better
As you walk through your local farmers market, you cant help but get caught up in the enticing sights and smells. There is plenty to indulge in, homemade baked goods, flowers, dairy, meat, and of course produce. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are produced right in your own backyard, where climate and soil contribute to optimal flavor. When locally grown food is in its prime, picked on time, mature and full of nutrients, you have the best taste on your plate, and you can also diversify your menu. What is in season during the summer may not be in season during the fall, so a variety of Church Street Saturdays 7:30am-11:00am June 11-October 22 Macedon farmers Market 32 main Street Wednesdays 3:30pm-6:30pm July 13-October 19 newark farmers Market Central Park, Church & S. main Thursdays 2:30pm-6:00pm June 2-October 13 palmyra Farmers Market Village park, E. main Street (Rt. 31) & Rt. 21 Tuesdays 3:00pm-7:00pm

it helps everyone
frequent market-goers get to know the farmers and create mutually beneficial relationships. families can work with the farmers who produce fresh, nutritious, seasonal food, plan tasty, affordable meals, and keep the local economy flourishing. The long term benefits of good health, exceptional flavor, value, and a united community makes markets the natural choice. When a farmers market is not available, look for a locally grown sign above the produce in your supermarket, where you will find the foods that are produced in your region. Those have been delivered and are fresh from your regional farmer.

Eating tomatoes will reduce the risk of having your bones break down, according to a study at the University of Toronto. They found that women who ate 30 to 70 milligrams of lycopene each dayfound in about cup of tomato saucewere able to significantly strengthen their bones.

Let meat rest for several minutes before slicing or serving. This lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat, which keeps it nice and juicy. Slice flank steak diagonally across the grain, otherwise it will be too tough. Know your ribs. Pork spare ribs come from the outer edge and tend to be leaner. Baby back ribs are shorter

HELP KIdS START A LEmONAdE STANd THIS SUmmER

mAIN SQUEEZE

f you have budding entrepreneurs at home, youve probably heard about lemonade stands. How fun and easy they are. Yes, even for parentsprovided you arrange matters so the kids can do the work. first, make sure they plan to set up shop in the front yard or driveway, where you can supervise without hovering. for a stand, simply donate a card table and either a brown paper or plastic tablecloth. See that the operation has enough coins to make change. If the staff hasnt dealt with that before, give them a short rehearsal in counting back when a customer pays with a dollar bill. make sure that hands, faces and clothes are clean, and remind the young merchants that good manners go a long way. The night before opening day, they can follow these instructions to make lemonade and cookies.

fresh lemonade
fresh lemonade starts with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Some kids squeeze by hand, but a reamer or small hand juicer speeds up the job. A mechanical or electric juicer is good for large batches. Nine lemons will produce about 1 cups of fresh lemon juice. Set it aside. In a microwave-safe container, such as a 16ounce Pyrex measuring cup, place 1 cup sugar, then fill to the 2 cup mark with tap water. Stir the sugar and water together. microwave the sugar-water for 1 minute. Then stir it and zap it for another minute. Now you have simple syrup. Pour it and the lemon juice into a large plastic container. Stir in 5 cups of cold tap water. This makes about half a gallon of lemonade. multipy recipe as needed. If fliers promoting the stand have been spread through the neighborhood, business could be brisk. So it might be a good idea to keep another gallon of lemonade in the fridge or ice chest. In areas where lemons are very expensive, some stands stretch their freshly squeezed lemonade with glasses of freshly defrosted concentrate. To add visual oomph and a little offbeat flavor to each glass, garnish with mint leaves or freeze fruit into the ice cubes. Or use fruit punch to create red cubes.

backyard pools

n the long, hot days of summer, theres nothing quite like your own backyard oasis. If this is the year youll take the pool plunge, do your homework first. Any kind of pool is a huge investment. Consider your budget, life situation and swimming habits before wading in.

What to consider before getting an in-ground, above-ground pool

Above-ground
Though above-ground pools of the past looked tacky, Osterhout says, many contemporary above-grounds are actually quite sleek and attractive. Check some out before you write them off. decking can be built to surround the pool completely, she says, and at that point you cant tell if its in-ground or not. Above-grounds now come in an array of sizes and styles. As for the depth, consider whether you need a deep end. We didnt like the deep end because my kids wanted to play volleyball, says Osterhout. In fact, many families find that the deep end goes largely unused. Similarly, you may not need varied depths if youre just going to swim laps. If youre not sure how long youll be in your home, an above-ground pool is much easier to remove if the time comes. (many buyers with small children dont want pools for safety reasons.) With in-ground models, removal can be very expensive. dont assume, though, that your above-ground model will be portable, Osterhout cautions. Ive had to tell customers that it will be cheaper to buy a new pool than to transport and reassemble the one they had.

In-ground
If youre a serious swimmer, an avid diver or you have a specific vision of the pool of your dreams, an inground pool could be for you. With in-ground models, you can have a custom shape, varied depths, choice of construction materials and extras like slides and fountains. In-ground pools can be built to any depth, including a deep end for diving, whereas above-ground models are usually all one depth. In-ground pools are expensive, though, usually costing much more than their above-ground cousins.

But that can be part of the appeal for some customers, says Beth Osterhout of B & d Pool and Spa in Upstate New York. It can be a status thingshowing that you can afford this great, in-ground pool. Because the nicest ones blend so beautifully into a landscape, people associate in-ground pools with better quality. That association, though, isnt completely fair.

There are many inexpensive energy-saving tools and equipment at your local hardware store, online. Here are some easy ways to reduce energy consumption, save money, and increase efficiency. Fire up the outdoor grill. Gas and charcoal grills keep the stove and oven turned off and keep the heat outside, which means less use of fans or air conditioners inside.

Energy conservation has been on consumers minds since the invention of the light bulb. But did you know that conserving energy is only part of the big picture? Energy efficiency and consumption contribute to cost, availability, and even the environment. Energy conservation means reducing the level of energy used, by turning off lights, adjusting the thermostat, or using appliances in energy-saving modes, such as cold water only cycles on the washing machine, or using the the air-drying instead of the heat-drying cycle in the dishwasher. Energy efficiency means using less energy by replacing old,

Use the microwave, it uses two-thirds less energy than a stove. Turn off appliances and lights when you are not using them. fill and use the dishwasher. Believe it or not, a full dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand. If you let your dishes air-dry, you will save on energy consumption even more. If you dont have a dishwasher you are still saving on energy costs. Keep the refrigerator stocked. more food equals less space for heat to circulate when the door opens. If there is less space for warm air, the refrigerator doesnt have to work as hard to stay cool. Also, different styles and brands of refrigerators offer different energy-saving costs.

Check with your local appliance dealer to learn which ones offer the most efficiency. unplug or recycle any additional refrigerators or freezers if you dont really need them. This will not only save you up to 20% in costs, but will also take a load off of environmental energy consumption. Use cold water for laundry. Clothes will still get clean and you consume less energy. Warm water cycles use less than hot, but always rinsing on cold will conserve usage and cost. Line dry clothes whenever possible. When you need to use the dryer, run full loads, use the moisture-sensing setting, and clean the lint trap after each use. Vent kitchen, laundry, and bathroom fans to the outside to keep heat and humidity out of the home. Keep the hot water heater at 120 Fahrenheit to save money on your electric bill. Try to run appliances off peak hours, before 4:00pm and after 6:00pm to help prevent electricity outages. use a programable thermostat, and set it to 78 degrees when you are home and 85 when you are away. These temperatures will keep the system running efficiently. You can save one to three percent per degree in cost for each degree set above 72f. use ceiling or room fans to circulate the air, which will help cool the room and reduce the need for air conditioning. use window curtains and shades, especially in the day time. Keeping sunlight out, especially mid-day, will help keep the wholehouse temperature down and reduce the need for air conditioners and fans. Take showers instead of baths. Use the bathroom fan to remove heat and humidity. If you have a pool, turn off the filter when the pool is not in use. unplug electronic devices and chargers when they arent in use. most electronics use electricity even when they are turned off. Use power strips, and turn appliances and electronic devices such as computers and printers off at the power strip. Change furnace filters monthly. dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause heating and cooling systems to run longer, increasing energy use and cost. Repair or replace windows and doors. Caulk, weather-strip, and seal gaps or replace them with all-weather styles to increase efficiency and greatly reduce costs. shade your home by installing awnings, and solar-controlled window films. This will reduce exposure to ultraviolet radiation, reduce glare, and conserve energy by keeping rooms cooler, reducing the need for air conditioning. Install a permanent whole-house fan in the attic to draw cool air in through the windows while forcing hot air out through attic vents. This will help reduce air conditioning use, especially when used in the early mornings and evenings. Also, attic insulation will help control the temperature inside the home. replace incandescent light bulbs that are used more than two hours per day with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. Visit your local hardware store for inexpensive energy-saving tools, or look online for information and resources on how to save energy consumption and costs. Check with your utility companies for costsaving opportunities including assistance programs, incentives, federal tax credits, weatherizing assistance, and home energy audits. Look for rebates and special offers on energy-efficient products and services. To learn more about financial opportunities, tax credits, grants, and rebates, visit www.energysavers. gov.
