YOUTH FIRST TODAY MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES GERMAN POTATO DUMPLINGS By Monica Sinclair Here we are already on the last week of October. I have had fun finding recipes for you to celebrate all things Ger- man. The recipe I found this week is something I have not tried before but it has two words I love a lot: potato and dumpling. I mean, really, how can it be bad? So, I'll be heading to the store soon to pick up the ingredients because once my husband sees this recipe, he'll be ask- ing for me to make it. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 3 pounds medium potatoes (about 10), peeled and quartered • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten • 2/3 cup dry bread crumbs • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 12 cups water BROWNED BUT TER SAUCE: • 1/2 cup butter, cubed • 1 tablespoon chopped onion • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs DIRECTIONS 1.

Learning to drive is an important mile- stone in a young person's life. Take a min- ute to think back to that time in your youth. Driving has the power to pro- vide freedom and helps instill a stronger sense of independence in teenagers. This milestone not only brings chang- es to your teen's life, but also to yours as a caregiver. You'll have less running to activities and an extra hand with er- rands. You may also experience some fears and ask yourself, "How can I keep my child safe? " According to the CDC, teenage drivers are nearly three times more likely than drivers over age 20 to be in a fatal car ac- cident. The biggest contributing factor to this danger is simply lack of experience. Other contributing risks include texting and driving, speeding, unsafe vehicles, and use of alcohol and drugs. How can we combat these risk factors as caregivers? Here are eight recommen- dations for keeping your teen safe on the road. 1. Be informed. Stay up to date with your state's driving restrictions for newly licensed drivers. Discuss and enforce these with your teen. 2. Model safe driving habits. Make sure you're setting a safe example when driving by avoiding phone use, following traffic rules, and utilizing a designated driver when consuming al- cohol. Our kids are always watching and learning. 3. Limit passengers. Crash risks are nearly double for teens with one pas- senger and increase with each addi- tional passenger. Consider limiting your teen's passenger privileges ini- tially and gradually increasing privi- leges with driving experience. 4. Limit nighttime driving. The most severe teen crashes occur between 9 pm and midnight. Practice supervised night driving with your teen. Consid- er setting a time restriction for your teen's vehicle use and gradually al- low later driving as your teen gains experience. 5. Watch the weather. Bad weath- er increases risk of accidents for all drivers. Teens do not have the expe- rience to react safely in dangerous conditions. Limit your teen's unsu- pervised driving in bad weather, in- creasing privileges with supervised experiences. 6. Stick to familiar roads. Unfamil- iar or high speed roads increase your teen's risk for an accident. Consider limiting your teen's range of driving to familiar places. Allow time for su- pervised practice on highways, inter- states, or unfamiliar settings before increasing privileges. 7. Ban driving (and riding) under the influence. Any amount of alco- hol or drugs produces impairment in teen drivers. Establish a safety plan with your teen that can be followed if they find themselves in this danger- ous situation. 8. Prioritize vehicle safety. Factors including engine power, vehicle size, and airbags need to be considered when choosing a vehicle for your teen. Spend time with your teen reviewing car maintenance and safety. Statistics show a teen's greatest im- provement in safety occurs within the first year and after their first few thou- sand miles of driving. Following these recommendations can help keep teens safe while they gain driving experience. Consider creating a driving agreement with your child outlining expectations and consequences. Being involved in your teen's driving experience is a great opportunity to connect and build lasting memories!
