By Erika Mosin

I did my research on what most “Traditional Thanksgiving Meals” contain in their menus. What I found was a list like this one: Roast Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Dinner Rolls, Yams, Pumpkin Pie. To that I’d add a Green Bean Casserole, some Sparkling Apple Cider, and subtract Yams for what I’d normally serve for Thanksgiving. And these are just the traditional Thanksgiv-ing meal basics! Even if everything came out of the oven just right, you can imagine how long a meal like this would take to prepare from scratch. If you’re considering sim-pler options for this year’s Thanks-giving meal, read on for my no-fail meal ideas for a simpler [yet still mostly traditional] Thanksgiving.

Turkey Breast CutletsInstead of the 20-pound turkey

that you may normally purchase for Thanksgiving, consider a pack of Turkey breast cutlets. Just like you’d purchase chicken breasts in the grocery store, you’ll find packages of pre-sl iced turkey breasts cutlets. If you sometimes f ind turkey to be dry, why not marinate the breasts in cranberry juice overnight for added flavor and moisture to the poultry? Turkey and cranberries taste great together, after all. Baking these cutlets in the oven for the 20 minutes, or so, it takes them to cook up is such a no-fail approach to roast-ing turkey. It’s such a simpler task when compared to not only baking a huge turkey, but also basting it, putting foil on just the right places, and checking it numerous times until it’s thoroughly cooked! Plus, the left-overs won’t last several Thanksgivings either!

Canned Dinner Rolls

Let ’s not pretend here. You know the refr igerated sect ion of the grocery store has those Pi l lsbury Dinner Rol ls , r ight? If you’ve ever had them, you’ll know they are super soft and tasty! Don’t feel gui l ty: i f you wan t a no - fa i l Thanksg i v i ng dinner, purchase some of these long rounded conta iners and bake the dough they contain in the oven right after the turkey breast cutlets come out to cool. Serve with butter (or without - they’re just as good without!). Unless you don’t set the kitchen timer, these Thanksgiving dinner rolls will be absolutely no-fail!

Boxed StuffingFor the eas ies t and mos t -

guaranteed no-fail stuffing idea, purchase a boxed stuffing mix. Kraft’s Stove Top is the one I’d recommend - and any flavor. If I remember correctly, all you do to prepare this stuff ing is boil some water before st i r r ing in the prepared dry stuff ing. You then remove the pot from heat, and after 5 or so minutes it’ l l be ready to eat. This boxed stuffing tastes really good, and if you’ve never had it before you just may buy this product all year round.

Green Bean CasseroleA vegetable side dish doesn’t

get much more no-fai l than a green bean casserole. Gather the ingredients (4 cans Green Beans, 1 1/3 French Fried On-ions, 1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup, 1 tsp Soy Sauce, & 1/2 cup Milk), mix them together in a baking dish (using only half the onions), and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. Then, remove from

the oven, sprinkle the remaining onions over the top of the dish, and bake for another 5. You liter-ally mix and bake; it’s so simple for Thanksgiving.

Boxed Mashed Po ta toes & Packet of Gravy

With al l the t ime i t takes to make home-made mashed pota-toes, I’d recommend the boxed version any day that you want them to be easy and no- fa i l , but especial ly for a busy day l ike Thanksgiv ing. The Super Target brand, Market Pant ry, makes a great - tas t ing boxed mashed potato, and it’s a really inexpensive product, too. These mashed potatoes are almost as s imple to make as the boxed stuffing; you boil water, add but-ter, add the dried potatoes & the flavoring mix it comes with, stir, and remove from heat for about 5 minutes. And don’t forget the gravy! Just purchase a smal l packet that you add to water and heat up. This Thanksgiving side dish will be waiting on you!

Canned Cranberry SauceI have no idea how you’d make

the real thing (okay I suppose you’d cook some cranberr ies for a while and then mash them until they make a smooth sauce - that’s my guess). No matter how it’s done, it’s gotta be easier to buy a can of pre-made Cranberry Sauce! All the brands I’ve tried have been very good! Just do like my grandmother did: open the can, pour the contents onto a narrow platter, and slice it up for easy serving. Unless you drop the sauce on the floor, this is for sure a no-fail side dish!

Frozen Pumpkin PieA frozen pumpkin pie from the

grocery store can easily be your no- fa i l Thanksgiv ing desser t . Once the Thanksg iv ing meal is over and your family and/or guests are ready to relax their bloated selves onto the sofa, you can pop this pie right from your f reezer in to your p re -heated oven. It’ l l be ready somewhere within the hour for anyone who wants it (or wait until later if you want to serve it warmed). Don’t forget the Cool Whip to go on top of each piece. Mmmmm! And so easy!

Sparkling Juice or CiderFor a special no-fai l bever-

age, choose a sparkl ing juice in a nice bottle. My family loves the sparkling apple cider, spar-kling grape juice, and sparkling c ranbe r r y j u i ce . The bo t t l es look great on the table, or when poured into glasses. You may want to purchase more bottles than you think you’l l need, as these l iquids go fast because they’re so good!

There you have it, my no-fail Thanksgiving meal ideas for a basic tradit ional Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, if you really want to go no-fail you may want to pre-order with Boston Market and let them do all the kitchen work for you!

November 16, 2012

By Jason AldermanL ike many o the r economic

measures, charitable donations in the U.S. have yet to bounce back to pre-recession levels. Ac-cording to Giving USA’s Annual Report on Philanthropy, chari-table contributions totaled $298.4 billion in 2011 – up 4 percent from 2010, but still 11 percent below 2007 levels.

The vas t ma jor i t y o f those contributions (73 percent) came from individuals, demonstrating that even during tough economic times, people still find ways to support organizations that help those less fortunate than them-selves.

Because half of all donations t yp i ca l l y a re made be tween Thanksgiving and New Year ’s, this is a good time to highlight p recau t ions you can take to ensure your gift has the biggest poss ib le impact , both on the people you want to help and on your own bottom line; also to re-mind seniors about a tax policy that has changed since last year:

Contribution eligibility. If you itemize expenses on your 2012 income taxes, any char i tab le contributions you plan to deduct must be made by year’s end. That means either charging your credit or debit card or postmarking a check by midnight on December 31, 2012.

You must have a receipt to c la im deduct ions for cash or property, no matter how small. A cancelled check or credit card statement is fine for contributions under $250, but amounts over $250 require a written statement from the charity. See IRS Publi-cation 526 for details (www.irs.gov).

Conf i rm tax-exempt s ta tus. For your contribution to be de-ductible, the organization must be recognized as tax-exempt by

the IRS. It ’s important to note that in recent years the IRS has revoked the tax-exempt status of scores of nonprofit organizations because they didn’t file annual reports for three consecut ive years, as required by law. Use the IRS Exempt Organizations Select Check tool to ensure an organization’s eligibility.

Get bang for your buck. Make sure any non-profit to which you donate is well-run. Ideally the organization applies at least 75 percent of contributions to pro-grams that serve its beneficia-ries, versus spending on salaries, adver t is ing, fund- ra is ing and other administrative expenses.

Study the organization’s web-site, annual report and mission statement, and ask for a copy of its IRS Form 990, which details how cont r ibu t ions are spent . Speak to staff members or volun-teers, or volunteer there yourself. Or, if you know someone who has used its services, ask for their impress ions o f the organiza-tion’s efficiency and helpfulness to clients.

Other helpfu l s i tes: Char i ty Navigator ’s “Top 10” l ists and “Tips and Resources” sections

provide helpful evaluation tools (www.charitynavigator.org). And GuideStar offers helpful ques-tions to ask potential recipients and tips for choosing a charity (www.guidestar.org).

No more direct IRA distribu-tions. A major tax break for senior c i t i zens regard ing char i tab le contributions expired at the end of 2011. Formerly, people over age 70 ½ could contribute up to $100,000 from their IRAs directly to charity and have it count to-ward their annual IRA Required Minimum Distribution. This al-lowed seniors to avoid having to count the funds as adjusted gross income, thereby reaping a tax advantage even if they didn’t itemize deductions.

And finally, if you can’t afford a cash donation but st i l l want to help, consider donating your t ime. Numerous organizations can match you up wi th loca l charities that suit your interests, including the government’s Unit-ed We Serve site (www.serve.gov), Network for Good (www.networkforgood.org), and Volun-teer Match (www.volunteermatch.org).

Mission Hospital has announced that Ron Galonsky has been named Mission Hospital’s new chief opera-tions and integration officer. This new role will combine the traditional role of a chief operating officer with a new dimension of integration as Mission Hospital looks to more effectively connect with services throughout the community, in addition to physician partners and St. Joseph Health’s other Southern California hospitals.

With more than 23 years of lead-ership experience in the health care field, Galonsky most recently served as chief operating officer and senior vice president of O’Connor Hospital in San Jose, a ministry of the Daughters of Charity Health System. Prior to his work at O’Connor Hospital, Galonsky served as CEO of Watsonville Com-munity Hospital and as a senior vice president of operations and site ad-ministrator for Centra Health. He is a Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and a mentor in the ACHE Leadership Mentoring Network. He received his

Bachelor of Science degree from Duke University and his Master of Health Administration from the Medi-cal College of Virginia.

“It is a testament to our reputa-tion for excellence that extends well beyond Orange County borders that we have added Ron to our team here at Mission Hospital,” said Kenneth D. McFarland, president and CEO of Mission Hospital. “He has a great understanding of our values and mis-sion and is uniquely qualified to serve our ministry as we plan for the future.”

Galonsky started his career as an Army Infantry Officer and is actively involved in his church and industry professional organizations. He moved to South County from the Bay Area with his wife and their three children.

Mission Hospital provides south Orange County communities with access to advanced care through dozens of locations. Mission Hospital has been serving the greater needs of the community for more than 40 years, improving the quality of life in the communities it serves. Mission

Hospital in Mission Viejo, the region’s only designated trauma center, offers 24-hour emergency care and specialized services for im-aging, heart, stroke, mater-nity, and women’s wellness needs. Mission Hospital La-guna Beach offers 24-hour emergency, intensive and medical-surgical care as well as the South County’s only behavioral health services including hospital-based chemical and pain medica-tion dependency treatment. CHOC Children’s at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo is the only dedicated pediatric hospital in South Orange County. Mission is the only hospital to twice earn the Ernest A. Codman Award for Excel-lence in quality healthcare presented by The Joint Commission for its Traumatic Brain Injury protocol and Rapid Response Nursing Team, and recently earned Magnet® recognition

from the American Nurses Credential-ing Center. A member of the St. Jo-seph Health System, Mission Hospital is one of 14 not-for-profit hospitals sponsored by the St. Joseph Health Ministry. For more information, visit mission4health.com.

BliNd ChildReN’s leaRNiNg CeNTeR illuMiNaTes The

FuTuRe FoR BliNd ChildReNBlind Children’s Learning Center celebrated 50 years of serving blind chil-

dren with a gala event at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa. Major sponsors Wells Fargo, Corum, Argyros Family Foundation and Disneyland Resort helped raise more than $192,000.

“Themed – Illuminating the Future – our focus was to celebrate the Cen-ter’s accomplishments and most importantly raise funds to ensure the future for children served through the Center’s specialized programs,” said Lisa Fujimoto, Change A Life Foundation Executive Vice President and 50th An-niversary Gala event chairperson.

Dinner was an illuminating experience beginning with a wedge salad of fresh bibb lettuce with oven-dried tomato, aged Romano cheese topped with chunky cucumber dill ranch dressing. Next guests were captivated by the braised beef short rib with a demi glaze and layered with Boursin cheese and dressed with basil oil and balsamic reduction. The excitement for the evening was when the room was darkened to highlight the Parade of Illumina-tion Desert – dark chocolate crème Brulee Bombe each a glow with lighted candles carried in by the incredible staff.

The renowned Wayne Foster Entertainment played throughout the evening and professional charity auctioneer, Jim Nye, entertained the audience while helping to raise $54,000.

The live auction was thrilling. Car enthusiasts were overwhelmed with the opportunity to bid on a tour of Tonight Show Jay Leno’s private garage in Burbank with an estimated 100 cars and more than 90 motorcycles. This experience garnered a winning bid of $2,800. For the golf aficionado and Caddy Shack Fan another live auction item was golf at Shady Canyon with actor and screen writer Brian Doyle-Murray who is also the writing talent behind what Time Magazine calls one of the funniest sports movies of all time. This experience sold for $2,200. The ultimate Disney fan was able to bid on dinner for four at Walt Disney’s private dining Club 33. Hidden inside of New Orleans Square, the highest bidder will have the experience to dine where celebrities, dignitaries, kings and even presidents have experienced the exquisite food and drinks. The highest bid was $3,200

Radio host and powerful motivational speaker, Kristin Macdonald served as Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening, sharing her personal story. At the age of 29 on her path to pursuing her vision to become an actress, she learned her sight was slowly degenerating from a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa. Despite the odds, Kristin went on to work as an associate pro-ducer for numerous television shows and now as an inspirational speaker she refers to herself as partially sighted, and says that although her eyesight is poor, her vision is perfect.

Ed and Laura Blatchford, parents of triplets, Sam, Rory and Ben (Blind Children’s Learning Center graduates) proudly shared how their sons have grown to become strong independent young men from the foundation they received while attending the Center.

“Because so much of what we learn is based on vision, children who are blind or have low vision are at risk of developmental delays. At the Center our focus is early intervention and to provide specialized services for the children and their families to empower independence. We are grateful for the many sponsors, donors and volunteers that made this event such a great success. The funds raised through this celebration will help us to fulfill our vision that every blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind child has the opportunity to fully integrate into their community,” said Gene Micco, Blind Children’s Learning Center Board Chairman.

Blind Children’s Learning Center, a non-profit agency, was founded in 1962 by six blind adults originally called “Services for the Blind Orange County” to provide support for blind individuals. The founders quickly discovered the key to helping visually impaired children was to start working with them at a very early age. Today the agency serves children and their families through their Early Childhood Center (onsite preschool) and Outreach Services with the mission to provide early intervention, education and services for blind, visually impaired or deaf-blind children and their families to empower independence.

California State Senator Lou Correa (Chair of the Senate Veterans Com-mittee), Goodwill of Orange County, and the Black Chamber of Commerce honored individuals, organizations, and businesses for their outstanding dedication to the veteran community. The event was held on Weds., Nov. 7, 2012 at the Goodwill Fitness Center in Santa Ana .

“It is important that we take care of our veterans first,” said Senator Cor-rea. “The brave men and women that sacrifice themselves to protect our freedoms should be given priority. I am honored tonight to have the opportunity to recognize the outstanding dedication that each of the honorees have shown to serving our veterans.”

Goodwill of Orange County was among one of the honorees, as the organization continues to welcome veterans of any era, as well as through a Beyond Jobs grant for unemployed and underemployed women. Frank Talarico, Jr., president and CEO, Goodwill of Or-ange County was on hand to accept the award and noted, “As veterans move from military to civilian roles, they face several unique challenges which cur-rently include a strained economy and massive unemployment rates. We’re

hoping to alleviate a small bit of stress by providing training and job placement support. We place a high value on the people we serve and we are grateful for Veteran’s service to our country.”

Additional honorees included: Gregg James is an advocate by providing services and resources to veterans. Mr. James distributes flags to return-ing veterans as a small token of his gratitude to them. Pastor Frank Orzio, a retired Marine Corps Sergeant and Purple Heart recipient, works with the Wounded Warrior Ministry and provides counseling support to veterans. Com-munity Action Partnership of Orange County provides ongoing food, utility assistance, and emergency services to veterans. Disneyland Resort started the Heroes Work Here in 2004 as a way to recognize the hard work, dedication, and loyalty to serve ones country honor-ably. Disneyland Resort also has the Casting Our Veterans Program which is a recruitment tool that Disney uses to provide a new chapter in a veteran’s career. Kimberly Clark’s Junior Military Officer places veterans in the Fullerton location for an 18-24 month period to work at several locations which can lead to full-time employment. Medtronic works with Service-Disabled Veteran-

Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-

Owned Businesses to strengthen Medtronic’s ability to carry out their mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend lives. OneOC, formerly known as the Volunteer Center of Or-ange County, works with Veteran’s First to recruit, train, and support veteran vol-unteer leaders who will support ongoing service efforts, veteran engagement, and veteran services.

Talarico adds, “Veterans are just one of the populations poised to receive

job training and employment services

from Goodwill career counselors. Each year, Goodwill of Orange County helps thousands of individuals overcome bar-riers to employment. Job developers work closely with program participants to help them realize their talents and dreams in addition to developing suc-cessful job skills to then apply to their career search. All services are aimed at assisting participants with job interviews and ultimately gain employment.”

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien

being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

photos by Steve Wylie Mickey Mouse and his famous pals brought yuletide cheer and holiday

greetings from “The Merriest Place on Earth” in an all-new Tree Lighting show as Fashion Island kicked off a bright holiday season November 13 and 14. Holiday shoppers, families and friends were invited to sing along to festive wintertime tunes as Fashion Island’s 92-foot Christmas tree twinkled to life with a magical snowfall on both evenings.

Not only was Fashion Island’s tree lighting event the first big tree lighting ceremony in Orange County but it was the only one in Southern California to feature magical guests from the Disneyland® Resort to bring a little of that Holiday magic from The Happiest Place on Earth. Fashion Island was the only place in Southern California that a customer could see Disney’s be-loved characters light a Christmas tree outside of the Disneyland® Resort.

More than 10,000 revelers attended the annual event to see Mickey and some of his famous Disney pals from Disneyland® Resort in exclusive performances which will culminated in the lighting of Fashion Island’s stunning 92-foot Christmas tree.

“This has become such a wonderful holiday tradition that so many families look forward to every year,” said Stacie Ellis, Senior Director of Marketing for Irvine Company Retail Properties. “We’re excited that the tree lighting ceremony has grown every year and that we’re able to work with Disney to bring our guests a little of the Holiday magic that only the Disneyland® Resort offers with Mickey and his friends.”

The complimentary event was held in the Neiman Marcus-Blooming-dale’s parking lot.
