Monica's Meals in Minutes PO Box 68, Petersburg 47567 mealsinminutes@pressdispatch.net MAIL EMAIL MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES LEMON SNOWFLAKES By Monica Sinclair Need a quick and easy recipe this week to make for gifts? I've got you covered. It combines my love of soft cookies with my love of lemon. And with only four ingre- dients, you can take care of several people on your list in a matter of no time. Not to mention, they are only 37 calories each, so you might want to make some for your- self to eat. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1 package lemon cake mix (regular size) • 2-1/4 cups whipped topping • 1 large egg, room temperature • Confectioners' sugar DIRECTIONS 1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, whipped topping and egg until well blended. Batter will be very sticky. 2. Drop by teaspoonfuls into confectioners' sugar; roll lightly to coat. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10 -12 minutes or until lightly browned and tops are cracked. Remove to wire racks to cool.

With the holidays quickly approach- ing, it is easy to get caught up in the ex- citement and drain yourself financially. Often, we center our ideas about holi- days around gifts, especially at Christ- mas time. I know this is something I have been guilty of in the past. Every year I make a pledge to myself to cut back, but then the time comes and I feel like I'm not giving my family enough. The truth is, when we look back on gifts we've received, those aren't the memo- ries we hold dear. Our traditions are what make the holidays special. Giving up the notion that our children need the latest toys, the coolest tech, and the trendiest new fashions isn't easy. This can happen because we want to make our kids happy, but mostly because market- ers and advertisers do a really good job training our psyche to believe we need material items. When shopping for gifts, make a point to ask yourself, "Does this fit in with my holiday goals? " or "Does my child need this? " before purchasing an item. Ask- ing yourself these questions can open an inner dialog and help prevent over- spending. The first step in creating a simpler hol- iday season is to discuss your goals with your partner or family. Decide what is important to you and what the holidays mean to you as a unit. Write down your main goal, whether it is to spend less, give more, or create new traditions. Do this early and hold each other account- able as you get closer to the season. Another idea is to center your gifts on experiences, not items. Our happiest memories are almost always about things we've done, not items we've received. Memberships to places in or around your community are always great, and as a bo- nus, they're gifts the whole family can ex- perience together. Lastly, don't forget about your favorite childhood traditions. Take this opportu- nity to share with your children some of your fondest holiday traditions. For me, it's cookie baking day and making gin- gerbread houses. These are two separate family traditions we continue to this day. I have loved introducing them to my own kids. These traditions don't have to be ex- pensive. It can be reading your favorite book together, making cookies, or watch- ing a holiday movie. Holidays can be full of joy and magic without having an ex- cessive number of gifts under the tree. The magic comes in the memories you make together. Talk to your family about ways you can make your holidays even more meaning- ful by cutting out some of the excess. The memories you make will be worth the changes.
