TESLA, THE ELECTRICAL AGE WAS FLAGSHIP BY ELECTRICITY MASTERMINDS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. But with so much dependence on the wonders of modern power, we often fall so short in realizing how genuinely vast its scope can be.

But to help you navigate through the chaos is Blue Apple Electric. Blue Apple is your ace in the hole for residential and commercial electrical service, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A WEDDING IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY. It signifies the beginning of a lifetime of cherished memories. Your wedding day deserves all the attention and care for which DragonRidge Country Club is renowned. DragonRidge can accommodate a casual meeting for two or a large event for 100’s. We asked Jason and Kelli LeDell to share some advice and moments from their wedding. Q: AFTER HAVING YOUR WEDDING. WHAT ARE SOME TIPS OR ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE A FUTURE BRIDE? Live in the moment and stay present as it all goes by so fast. Start getting ready earlier than you think you need to because before you know it, all the time will have passed and it will be go time. Have something to eat before your ceremony because you won’t really eat at the reception.

If you have a babysitter who likes to cook, you could set out the instructions and ingredients for them to have something fun to do with your kids—it beats ordering pizza again!

ingredients + Prep
Depending on what you order, you may need some of your own supplies. When you select your meals, think about what you will need to cook the food in and if any other kitchen utensils would be helpful. Have them ready to go so you don’t have to make any last-minute trips to the store, defeating the purpose of getting your box delivered! Look over the prep times and cook times to ensure you won’t be rushed, and have fun! If the meals are foods you would enjoy reheated, you could do all of your cooking the day you get the box to meal prep for your week, or you can just store the ingredients to the other meals in your fridge and cook them throughout the week.

cooking
If you’re a little less-experienced in the kitchen, meal kits are great for learning! Read the instructions carefully before you get started so you don’t feel frazzled while the heat is up high, and take your time. Gobble is great for beginners because all of the meals are prepped for you and can be cooked in 15 minutes with just one skillet. If you want to learn how to do more plant-based cooking for your health and the environment, Purple Carrot makes it easy to enjoy delicious meals and not even miss the meat. If you are a more seasoned chef, feel free to take your own spin on the recipes and add some extra flavor or swap out ingredients to make it perfect for your palate. If you know what you want to make and have your own recipes already, Imperfect Foods is a nice choice because you select all of the individual ingredients yourself. You can help eliminate food waste, use organic, high-quality ingredients and save money all at the same time— without leaving your house.

ANGEL HOUSE THE INSPIRING STORY OF THE ORGANIZATION BRINGING ABANDONED CHILDREN FROM THE SLUM TO SAFETY + INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF CARETAKERS WHO WILL RAISE THEM TO BECOME FUTURE LEADERS IN THEIR GENERATION
MORE THAN 31 MILLION ORPHANS IN INDIA LIVE TRAGIC LIVES IN THE SLUMS; COMPLETELY ALONE, SEARCHING FOR A PLACE TO CALL HOME. No families, no proper clothing, and no sense of stability whatsoever. Without a miraculous rescue, each child is doomed to end up in one of three places: forced child trafficking, child labor, or begging on the streets. The reality of this injustice came to life for Lindsay Russo while caring for a group of hungry orphans during a humanitarian trip to India in 2010. Nearly 70 children, full orphans, had gathered into a tiny room with dirt floors and cinder block walls to eat their one and only meal for the day being provided by a local feeding program. The children ranged from ages 3 to 12, and they had no place to live. Moved with compassion, Lindsay was unable to turn a blind eye to what she had just witnessed. She thought, ‘These children need a safe place to call home,’ and upon her return to the States, she was determined to make it happen.
