Tips To Simplify Holiday Cooking

Food is an important component of the holiday season for millions of people across the globe. Many a holiday host has wrestled with what to serve for their gathering and how to prepare meals while still ﬁnding time to spend with loved ones. Sometimes simplicity is the way to go when hosting for the holidays. Just because certain dishes are less labor-intensive to prepare does not mean they lack ﬂavor. Hosts can consider these tips to simplify holiday cooking this year.

• Utilize shop-fromhome services. Supermarkets can be particularly busy this time of year. By shopping from the comfort of home, holiday hosts can sort through their lists and let someone else navigate crowded store aisles. The small fee involved for this service can be well worth the time saved.

• Scale back the sides. Some hosts feel an impressive dinner spread is one with plenty of options. Several side dishes requires a lot of time and money, and such foods may take away from the star of the table. Guests might ﬁll up on rolls, potatoes and salads, leaving little room for the main course. Scaling back on sides creates more time for hosts to mingle with family and ensures everyone gets their ﬁll of the main course.

• Delegate some of the work. Asking guests to bring a little something to the meal doesn’t immediately turn it into a potluck.

However, it can reduce some of the work the host has to do. Figure out who is bound to be an early arrival, and ask that person to bring an appetizer. Individuals who like to be fashionably late can bring side dishes or desserts. Delegating beverage detail also can be a time-saver.

• Familiar is often fabulous. A major holiday is seldom the right time to experiment with a new, labor-intensive dish. Rather than risk an epic fail, hosts should stick to meals they have prepared before. Also, familiar ﬂavors may appeal to a greater number of guests.

• Include some prepared foods. While it is perfectly alright to cater the entire dinner,

that can prove costly. If budget doesn’t allow for a fully catered meal, supplement with some prepared dishes to help save time, particularly those recipes that can be complicated.

• Make it a buffet. Sit-down dinners require careful timing to ensure all foods are set out hot and ready-to-eat. A buffetstyle meal involves preparing trays of food in advance, and then setting them to heat in chaﬁng dishes until meal time. This involves far less strategizing with meal preparation and frees up time for hosts to spend with guests.

Holiday meals require a lot of effort, but some handy suggestions can ensure hosts have ample time to spend with loved ones.

Christmas Cupcakes Make A Perfect Holiday Treat

A

little indulgence is par for the course come the holiday season. That’s especially true in relation to baked goods, which ﬁnd their way into entertaining areas at ofﬁce parties, family gatherings and school functions.

Treats are indeed part of what makes the holiday season a special time of year. This year, families can whip up this Lines+Angles recipe for “Chocolate Christmas Cupcakes” to make the holiday season a little more ﬂavorful.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Position oven 1. For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 375 F. Place 12 cupcake liners in a mufﬁn tin.

2. Beat the butter in a mixing bowl until soft and light. Beat in both sugars and beat until light and ﬂuffy.

3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until well blended. Sift in the ﬂour, baking powder and cocoa and fold in gently until incorporated. Stir in the milk and chocolate chips.

4. Spoon into the paper cases and bake for 25 minutes until ﬁrm to the touch. Leave in the tins for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

5. For the chocolate topping: Put the cream and chocolate in a pan over a low heat until melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken slightly.

6. Spoon onto the cupcakes and leave until almost set.

7. Roll out the white sugarpaste on a surface dusted with icing sugar. Cut out shapes to resemble snow and place on the cakes.

8. Roll out the green sugarpaste on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar. Cut out 2 holly leaves for each cake with a holly shaped cutter or card template. Brush lightly with water and attach to the white sugarpaste.

9. Roll pieces of red sugarpaste into small balls for the “berries” and place on the cakes, as in the photo, attaching with a little water.

Tips To Simplify Big-Batch Baking

Theholiday season is upon us and for many of us, that means baking is back on the agenda! Unlike baking for a small celebration or a simple late-night indulgence, baking during this time of year often means scaling upcreating larger batches and a wider variety of goodies to satisfy a large crowd or to distribute to many of your loved ones. The process can feel daunting, even for experienced bakers, as it requires extra planning, organization and time. But there’s no need to feel overwhelmed. With a few thoughtful strategies and practical tips, you can make your baking experience this holiday season not only manageable but truly enjoyable.

• Use reliable, vetted recipes. When it comes time to bake in bulk, stick to recipes that have been tried before and are successful. Choosing recipes that you know well and can replicate time and again with ease means it may be simpler to multiply that recipe on a larger scale.

days. For cupcakes adorned with chocolate candies, for example, melt and mold the chocolate beforehand so each candy is ready to go when the cupcakes are done. Batters and doughs also can be made in advance and then refrigerated until needed. The French phrase “mise en place” means “everything in its place.” In cooking and baking, it refers to the practice of preparing and organizing all ingredients and equipment before cooking begins. This also is a worthwhile strategy when baking in bulk.

• Save on ingredients. Shopping sales or at a warehouse center can help you save on large quantities of butter, ﬂour, sugar, and other items when baking in bulk.

Friday, December 5th, 2025

5PM-9PM

• Pick short-baking recipes. If you must bake in bulk, choose recipes that don’t have long bake times. For example, one cheesecake can take two hours to bake, while you can make scores of cupcakes or cookies in that same amount of time.

• Prep as much in advance as possible. If you have more complicated recipes or designs, spread out the work over several

• Create a schedule. Figure out how long each step for baking will take and then block out a schedule. This will help you determine how long each bake will take, and you can sort tasks according to need and freshness. Build in buffer time for things that may go awry.

• Have extra gear. Doubles or triples of certain gear can keep stopping and cleaning up between batches to a minimum. For example, while you may not have room for multiple stand mixers, you can invest in two or three bowls so you can have batter ingredients ready to go and then simply run through the

Air Fry Your Latkes This Chanukah

ﬁgures prominently in many holiday celebrations, and Chanukah is no exception. Latkes are considered a must-have in many households celebrating Chanukah, and there’s no shortage of recipes to try this holiday season. Those who want to take a more unique approach to latkes can consider air frying, which is a method of preparing popular fried foods that is credited with being healthier than traditional frying. Chanukah celebrants who ﬁnd that appealing can try this recipe for “Potato Latkes” courtesy of Lines+Angles.

Directions:

1. Coarsely grate potatoes on a box grater; alternatively, use grater attachment on a food processor for uniform pieces.

2. Submerge potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Drain well and wring out in a clean dish towel to extract as much moisture as possible.

3. Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl with half the salt. Whisk in matzo meal and cornstarch or potato starch.

4. Add dried potato to egg mixture, stirring thoroughly to combine. Divide and shape into four large latkes, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

5. Dust with more cornstarch (or potato starch, whichever using), gently shaking or brushing off excess. Season with remaining salt.

6. Preheat air fryer to 380 F. Spritz basket with cooking spray before carefully arranging latkes in it.

7. Cook for 8 minutes. Turn and cook for a further 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown all over.

8. Remove from air fryer and let cool brieﬂy before serving with a garnish of sour cream and chives.

Note: Alternatively you can fry in a greased frying pan for about 3 to 4 minutes per side till golden and crispy.

Makes 4 servings

3 large russet potatoes, peeled

2 eggs

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons matzo meal

1 tablespoon cornstarch or potato

Two Off-Duty NYPD Officers Honored With Town Of Babylon’s Highest Award For Heroism

Town of Babylon

Supervisor Rich Schaffer presented the Town’s highest honor, the Heroism Award, to Officers Alban and Albert Lekaj, two off-duty NYPD officers and brothers, during a ceremony at Town Hall this week.

The recognition comes after the brothers courageously intervened

to stop a theft in progress in Lindenhurst. During the incident, one of the officers was stabbed in the leg by the suspect, and a tourniquet was applied to stop the bleeding. Thanks to fast emergency response and strong recovery efforts, he is expected to make a full recovery.

Supervisor Schaffer

praised the officers’ selfless actions, noting that their bravery reflects the finest traditions of public service.

“Even while off duty, these officers did what they have sworn to do every day — protect others,” Schaffer said. “Their courage, quick thinking, and willingness to put themselves in harm’s way exemplify what it means

to serve this community and our country.”

Both officers were surrounded by family, colleagues, and local officials during the ceremony, where their dedication and sacrifice were acknowledged with standing applause.

Councilman and Public Safety Chairman Terence McSweeney commended

the officers not only for their heroism in the moment, but for what their actions represent.

“Officers Alban and Albert Lekaj acted without hesitation,” said McSweeney.

“Their bravery is a powerful reminder of the risks our police officers take every day, whether they are on duty or not. We are all safer because

of individuals like them who are willing to step forward when others cannot.”

The Town of Babylon extends its gratitude not only to Officers Alban and Albert Lekaj, but to all police officers across the country who put their lives on the line to protect their communities.

Black Friday Sales

Black

Friday sales have become a staple of the holiday shopping season. On Black Friday, many items are deeply discounted, and shoppers often target high-profile, expensive electronics. In fact, according to the retail advisor and trend forecaster NerdWallet, technology products are among the most sought-after products among Black Friday shoppers. Each year, televisions, tablets, laptops, notebooks, smartphones, and gaming consoles fly off the shelves in record numbers on Black Friday. According to the shopping resource Deal News, shoppers poised to purchase one of the latest smartphone offerings this shopping season may find that Android products are more available and more heavily discounted than Apple products. Shoppers also may have their eyes on gadgets for their homes. Black Friday isn’t all about technology, however. Kitchen cookware and small appliances also attract shoppers on Black Friday. Typically high-priced items like stand mixers, brewing systems, vacuums, and blenders are popular among Black Friday shoppers.

Presiding Officer McCaffrey Kicks Off Suffolk County Marathon

On Sunday, October 19th, Presiding Officer McCaffrey and a team of Suffolk County legislators and staffers kicked off the 11th Annual Suffolk County Marathon!

Kicking off in Babylon Village, the Legislature’s relay team navigated the course - which spans one of the most scenic routes on Long Island - running over the Robert Moses Causeway and finishing at Gardiner County Park in Bay Shore.

Joining Presiding Officer McCaffrey on the relay were several Legislators and their staff members, including Legislator Chad Lennon, Legislator Jason Richberg, and Clerk of the Legislature

Guy Calla. The team was organized by Legislator Nick Caracappa, who also serves as Chairman of the Legislature’s Veterans Committee.

The Suffolk County Marathon was first launched in 2015, with the main objective to provide additional support to the more than 90,000 veterans who reside in Suffolk County. To date, the Suffolk County Marathon has raised more than $1.1 million in proceeds for local veterans’ services and organizations.

Marathon activities span what is now known as “marathon Weekend,” which includes a 5K and 1K kids fun run on

Saturday, as well as the full Suffolk County Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K Race on Sunday. The weekend concludes with a post-race Freedom Fest at Gardiner County Park featuring live musical entertainment and vendors that highlight local craft breweries, food and produce.

As the Suffolk County Legislature’s Presiding Officer, Legislator Kevin J. McCaffrey represents Suffolk County’s 14th Legislative District, which encompasses the Villages of Lindenhurst and Babylon, West Babylon, portions of Copiague and North Lindenhurst, and Babylon’s barrier beach communities.

Tips For First-Time Holiday Hosts

Theholiday season is a busy time of year. From holiday shopping to readying the home for guests, there’s no shortage of things to accomplish in a relatively brief amount of time. Seasoned holiday enthusiasts may be ready to put their game faces on and tackle tasks with ease. But for ﬁrst-time holiday hosts, the prospect of crossing items off to-do lists may require a little extra assistance.

According to Dr. Vanessa Kennedy, a clinical psychologist at Driftwood Recovery, holiday hosting can “lead to the pressure to curate picture-perfect moments, creating stress and anxiety.” The following are pointers those new to holiday hosting can employ to simplify the process and enjoy the holidays a little more.

• Do as much prep work in advance as possible. Giving yourself extra time to get things done can help immensely. Grocery shop one day, prepare food the next, clean the house one day, and set the table or arrange decor on another. Minor task can be left for the morning of the day guests arrive.

• Cook and freeze items. Utilize recipes that enable you to cook in bulk and then store foods until you need them. Casseroles, baked pasta dishes, freezable soups, and readyto-bake cookie doughs made in advance will save a lot of time closer to the holidays.

• Stock the pantry. If holiday hosting involves overnight guests, be sure

to keep easy items on hand so guests can help themselves. Dry goods or pre-packaged mufﬁns for breakfast, chips or pretzels for late-night snacks, granola bars, or store made croissants can ﬁt the bill. Put everything in a dedicated basket so guests can grab items as needed. Stock the refrigerator with water, seltzer, iced teas, and sodas, and make a full pot of coffee in the morning so guests can pour their own.

• Avoid complicated cocktails. You don’t want to be stuck mixing drinks all evening. Instead, make it simple for guests to help themselves. Wine, beer, premade punches, or even one specialty drink are ideal.

• Consider hiring a caterer. If the idea of a homecooked meal feels like climbing Mount Everest, swap out some items for store-bought alternatives, or work with a favorite restaurant or caterer to secure foods that only need to be reheated and served.

• Free up closet and room space. Guests will be coming with a lot of stuff, particularly if you live in a cold climate. Make room in the entry closet for guests’ coats and boots. Be sure you can accommodate suitcases or overnight bags. Set aside an area where guests can deposit their wrapped gifts.

Holiday hosting can be a whirlwind of activity, but novice hosts can quickly get into the swing of things.
