Stained glass Holiday CookiesIngredients:

1 box (128 g) coarsely crushed Allan Fruit Bud-dies, any flavour

1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar

3/4 cup (175 mL) butter, softened

1 egg

1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups (625 ml) all-purpose flour (approx.)

1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking powder

Pinch salt

Directions:

Beat sugar with butter, on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Stir flour with baking powder and salt. Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture, in two additions, just until combined. Knead dough lightly until smooth. Divide dough into two equal portions and form into disks. Wrap disks in plastic wrap; chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the dough out, on a lightly floured surface, 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick. Use holiday cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Arrange cookies, at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Use smaller cutters or a paring knife to cut out shapes from the centres of the cookies (leave at least 1/4-inch (5 mm) borders around interior shapes).

Fill the cut-outs with candy cane pieces but don’t overfill. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden around the edges and candy centres are evenly melted. Cool cookies completely on the baking sheet before lifting to allow centres to set. Cookies can be stored in an airtight contain-er for up to 5 days.

(NC)—This summer, as you dust off your dog’s leash or cat’s harness, consider how you can pre-serve the environment that you and your pet love so much. Purina’s Paws for the Planet initiative shares green tips with pet lovers to reduce their impact on the environment at www.PawsForThePlanet.ca, and supports Evergreen, a national charity dedicated to making cities more livable by enhancing and restor-ing dynamic outdoor spaces.

Here are pet friendly green tips from Purina’s Paws for the Planet, to inspire pet lovers to make their own pledges for the environment.

green tips for your dog:

Explore the neighbourhood with your dog on • foot. By minimizing driving, you can reduce your carbon footprint.

Always leash your dog in forests, wildlife ar-• eas and wetlands to minimize their impact on plantlife and wildlife.

Use eco-friendly biodegradable dog waste bags • since plastic bags can take decades to decom-pose.

Make sure you always pick up your pet’s waste • to reduce pollution and contamination of water-ways.

green tips for your cat:

Avoid using bleach when cleaning cat litter box-• es. Give them a good scrub using hot water and vinegar.

By placing a bell on your cat’s collar, birds and • other wildlife will be alerted.

Grow your own organic catnip. Your cat will • thank you.

Buy non-toxic recyclable toys and accessories • for your pet – they’re good for the environment and easy on your pet’s digestive system.

(NC)—A recent Ipos-Reid study found that across the country, Canadians have trouble holding onto their devices, and as many as 12% of Canadians reported leaving a device behind when exiting taxis or buses and subway cars.

Music to the ears of students and their parents – and to any owner of a mobile device – is now the Rogers Handset Protection Guarantee. Consider-ing one in four Canadians have at one time had their mobile device lost, stolen or broken, students can rest assured knowing they are protected. If you’re a Rogers subscriber with a lost, stolen, or broken wireless handset, here’s the scoop:

If your device is lost or stolen, the company is of-fering eligible customers the option of a free de-vice or discount toward the purchase of a new or refurbished replacement. If your device is broken, you may choose a free or discounted replacement, or get it repaired at a subsidized cost. More infor-mation and terms and conditions are available on line at www.rogers.com/protection.

(NC)—First you choose your wall colour. Then you colour the trim. Then it gets ex-citing – choose from over 200 fabrics for your new Accordia Cellular Shade. Build up a shortlist. Decide on light filtering, blackout – or both. Toss them in your cart, send them off. Within about a week a col-lection of up to ten swatches of actual Ac-cordia cellular fabrics will arrive at your home – free of charge.

I asked Mike Muyal, Director of Market-ing for Levolor in Canada, why the com-pany developed this exciting new way for homeowners to design their own window treatments.

“There’s only so much a computer can show you,” he said. “We felt, when launch-ing Accordia Cellular Shades, that it was important to put actual samples of fabric in our customers’ hands. To feel the textures, see the colours in their own homes.”

There’s something else the computer can’t tell you about Accordia, though you may well see it in your energy savings. Accordia incorporates Energy Shield™, a technol-ogy that increases the already high insulat-ing value of cellular shades. It will work for you year round – letting solar warmth into you home in winter, keeping it outside on hot summer days.

Take a look at the Accordia Shades Guide on www.levolor.ca. It’s the first step to-wards an elegant way of cutting energy costs in your home.

carbon monoxide: did You Know?

(NC)—Small changes make big differenc-es, especially when it comes to the envi-ronment. Changing the lighting inside and outside your home can help conserve more energy at the flip of a switch.

Take a moment to follow a few lighting tips that will help ensure your household does its part in helping to be more gentle to the environment.

Choose an energy Star bulb

Worldwide lighting currently consumes 19% of all electricity used in the world. You can help reduce this amount by chang-ing to an Energy Star bulb that will cut back on energy use and the CO2 emissions from the bulb. Simply look for the “Energy Star”

symbol on the next light bulb package you purchase.

get a long lasting light

Switch from using incandescent light bulbs - that only last a few months - and try using a LED bulb that lasts much longer. Philips Ambient LED bulbs last 15 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs and use up to 80% less energy, making them a smarter choice for your family and the en-vironment.

Don’t sacrifice quality

Forget the old light bulbs that take minutes to turn on and try switching to an instant-on energy saving bulb that won’t make you wait for the perfect light. If you can, buy a dimmable version of the energy saving bulb to cut down on the added energy the conventional versions use.

It doesn’t take much to make a few small changes that will help reduce your carbon footprint. Making some small alterations to your lighting scheme can make a big dif-ference – and going green has never been so easy.
