ell ladies, we have done it again! The second annual Most Eligible Bachelors Edition is in your hands.

We knew that the ladies of Wayne & Holmes Counties would be excited to receive this edition the first time around, we just didn’t know how well received it would actually be. The response from our online poll was outstanding and the bachelors informed us of their sudden rise to popularity.

For one of our bachelors, a trip through the McDonald’s drive-thru got him recognized as “one of those bachelors from the magazine” which he admitted was embarrassing but kind of cool at the same time. Our bachelors’ new “local celeb status” led to playful teasing from friends and family and even a few dates from interested readers. We hope that this issue will be equally as successful for our current bachelor lineup.

We realized it may be difficult to get in touch with these bachelors if you are interested in one of our candidates. We are giving our readers the opportunity to reach out to our bachelors this year. For more information, see page 21.

If you’re looking for things to do in the area this fall, we have prepared just the edition for you. “Half-Stitched the Musical” has returned to the Carlisle Inn, Sugarcreek for a second year and will be staying until mid-December.

Check out the Wayne County Convention and Visitors Bureau to discover what you may have been missing in your own backyard. Don’t let the title “visitors bureau” discourage you from checking out what they have to offer even if you are local to the area. Their website is always packed full of events that won’t require a lot of travel to get to.

Put together your own wine and cheese tour with your closest friends and use our “Wine and Cheese Guide” to help you find the best local wineries.

Are you tired of dealing with workplace drama? Every office has it. In this issue of HerSide we take a look at how to identify and deal with workplace “drama queens” to create a more productive environment.

Also in this edition of HerSide, you will find some great fashion and hairstyles for the fall season. In major retail stores and boutique shops, $20 dollars might get you a pair of shoes or a blouse. Consider checking out your local thrift stores and second-hand shops. You can put together a whole outfit for under $20 and sometimes find name brand and “like-new” items. To complete your new look, try out a classic hairstyle for the holidays with a break down from Eighteen 76 Salon & Spa.

The Return of the Bachelors

You can find all this and so much more in this edition of HerSide. Sit back and enjoy reading about your favorite places to shop, eat and visit in Wayne and Holmes Counties. As always, your feedback is important to us. We have heard great things so far and want to continue to make this a magazine that our local readers will enjoy reading and sharing with others.

FALL 2014

“The Confession” successfully wrapped up its final season at The Carlisle Inn, Sugarcreek. Although it was bittersweet to see the musical come and go, the inn is making way for even more entertainment.

Returning to the theater this fall is the beloved Wanda E. Brunstetter tale, “Half Stitched, The Musical.” Based on the novel “The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club,” by Brunstetter, the most unlikely group of quilters come together in Amish widow, Emma Yoder’s home to find they will learn more than just quilting.

A burly, biker named Jan, “the man,” finds himself attending the class in order to fulfill a community service requirement after getting out of jail. Pam Johnston, “with a ‘T’,” has forced her husband Stuart to attend the class in hopes that it would be something they could do as a couple and help mend their slowly unraveling marriage.

Ruby Lee Williams is a preacher’s wife, looking for a little “me time” and hoping to find solace in the company of others. Star, an outcast, is taking the class as a favor to her grandmother; the only one in her life who truly understands her in her times of need and Paul Ramirez stumbles upon the class after bringing an unfinished quilt to Emma’s home for repair.

Having read the book, I found the play stuck to the basic storyline, yet was adopted to take place in the Sugarcreek area, which made it very relatable. It was a knee slapping, good time and there was hardly a dry eye in the audience as tears of laughter overcame us all.

So you have decided to attend an evening performance of ‘Half Stitched.’ Unless you are a local, driving an hour or more home may not be something you want to do at 10 p.m. With the theater being located in a hotel, having a place to stay couldn’t be more convenient.

Each room is furnished with locally-crafted furniture, many suites feature spas and fireplaces, and an indoor, heated pool and hot tub is available to guests. The Carlisle Inn has won the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for the past three years.

Make a day out of it. Carlisle Inn offers a full Amish country experience with buggy rides, a small Bulk Food store, two gift shops, a restaurant and bakery all on campus. If you’re planning on seeing ‘Half Stitched’ this summer, make sure you at least save room for dinner.

The Dutch Valley Restaurant offers a variety of wonderful Amish dishes. The restaurant offers a convenient buffet style that seems to be the most popular choice for indulging in a variety of tasty dishes. Turkeys, hams and roast beefs are available along with the creamiest of mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, homemade noodles, stuffing and much more.

“Almost everything you get in Amish country can be found right here on campus,” said Mike Miller, Innkeeper.

Packages are customizable, so plan to spend the day and even night with the Carlisle Inn, Sugarcreek.

A brand new musical will make its debut in Sugarcreek for the 2015 season. “Josiah for President,” written by Martha Bolten, tells the tale of congressman, Mark Stedman, who has decided to ‘throw in the towel’ on his congressional seat and return home to Pennsylvania.

Upon returning home, Stedman gets to know an Amish farmer, Josiah Stoltzfus, and decides that someone like Stoltzfus should be running the country. Stedman sets right to work on his campaign for ‘Josiah for President.’

Coming in the fall of 2015, “Josiah for President” promises to be another fun addition to the Amish country musicals lineup. Show dates for the musical will be August 21-December 19, 2015.

The Carlisle Inn is located at 1357 Old Route 39 in Sugarcreek. “Half Stitched, the musical” will be playing at the Carlisle Inn, Sugarcreek now through August 22-December 20, 2014. Tickets are available for $35 per person and can be ordered online or at the box office. Visit amishcountrymusicals.com or call 855-344-7547 for more information.

e often take for granted what is right under our noses. This becomes true when we think about all the great places to visit and shop right here

in our own county. You don’t have to travel far to have a tourist-like experience.

The Wayne County Convention and Visitors Bureau (WCCVB) was started in 1983 by the county commissioners at the time. Legislation was passed to allow the local hotels to collect a bed tax of three percent for an overnight stay. This bed tax helped with county-wide funding to support the new visitors bureau.

“We started out in the Wayne Center for the Arts,” said Martha Starkey, executive director of the Wayne County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “That was fun. There was always some type of music playing in the hallways.”

But it was challenging for people to locate the visitors bureau, so they were relocated to the administrative building on Liberty St. Being located on the main floor makes them accessible to anyone passing through. “People come in to pay their taxes and can see us right here. So, they stop in and see what is going on,” said Starkey.

The mission of the visitors bureau is to bring people in from outside of the area to Wayne County. “We consider ourselves temporary economic development – people come to the area, spend their money and go home.”ECONOMIC IMPACT:

According to statistics from Tourism Economics (www.tourismeconomics.com) shared by the Wayne County Convention & Visitors Bureau, tourism accounts for six

SO MUCH TO DO IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

percent of salaried employment in Wayne County. In 2013, visitors to the area generated total business sales of $224 million, wages of $57.8 million and taxes of $28.7 million. Based on tourism sales, Wayne County ranks in the top quintile for the state.

Starkey likes to use this information to quiz guests and even locals on how much they think tourism actually brings to Wayne County. “I’ll ask tour groups, ‘how much money do you think people spend here when they come to visit?’ They don’t even come close to the number.”

They come by car, they come by bus, they travel in tour groups and they come on family vacations. Wayne County has so much to offer and so much to see and do.

“Parents come in after dropping their kids off at college. They say ‘we just dropped our kid off at the College of Wooster. We have 4 hours to kill, what do we do?’” Starkey said. “We have maps and brochures that we hand out to people and give them an idea of where to go.”HOW CAN THE VISITORS BUREAU BE BENEFICIAL TO A LOCAL?

“It’s kind of a strange phenomenon that people don’t do what is in their own backyards. They just think they can go do that any time,” said Starkey. But they seldom do.

Take a stroll through Secrest Arboretum at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC). “People don’t realize that this is open to the public,” said Starkey. See a show at the Ohio Light Opera on the College of Wooster campus. “I think the name intimidates them. They think it’s going to be a complex show with people singing in foreign languages. It’s actually all in English and the shows are often very funny,” she said.

Fall is right around the corner. It is the perfect time to check out the local orchards and farms as they hold their fall festivals. The Wayne County Farm Tour is the perfect drive-it-yourself fall excursion and educational experience.

Get the girls together and create your own local wine tour and check out fall arts and craft shows. The holiday season means fall open houses are just around the corner and it’s the perfect time to stock up on Christmas gifts from your favorite local shops. Enjoy holiday light displays during the downtown Window Wonderland event and don’t forget the lighting of the large tree in Wooster. You can find a complete listing of these events and more at www.wccvb.com. A gentlemen was helping to organize a class reunion

of 160 people. While he remained local, most of his classmates had moved away and many were not familiar with the area anymore. The visitors bureau offered to put together packets that included maps and brochures of popular stops to make during their visit and other small trinkets and giveaways.

“If you are a part of an organization and trying to get your members to the area, we can help you to promote the area,” she said.

Plan a staycation this fall. Pretend to be a tourist discovering Wayne County for the first time and plan to take in as much of the area as possible. You might be surprised at what you find right under your own nose.

The Wayne County Conventions and Visitors Bureau is located at 428 W. Liberty St, Wooster. For more information call 330-264-1800 or toll free, 1-800-362-6474. Visit www.wccvb.com and find them on facebook to stay up-to-date with local events and find a drive-it-yourself tour of Wayne County.

IT’S KIND OF A STRANGE PHENOMENON THAT PEOPLE DON’T DO WHAT IS IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS. THEY JUST

THINK THEY CAN GO DO THAT ANY TIME

“We are here for the people. If you are planning an event, we can help you,” said Starkey. (It was at this time during the interview that a man walked in inquiring about putting together a class reunion with the help of the visitors bureau.)

SO HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THESE WORKPLACE “DRAMA QUEENS”?

ong-distance relationships sound daunting, something most people want to avoid. But sometimes they’re inescapable. Whether lasting a few months or a few

years, maintaining your closeness (mentally) will never compare with dating someone in the same city or town, there’s no sugar-coating it. But if you really care about each other, you can make it work.

For starters, you have to accept that it won’t be perfect. You can’t expect to be as close as you were when you started dating or first met. There is something that’s lost when you can’t physically be with someone you’re romantically interested in. I know this will sound somewhat superficial, but in this case, Skype will do wonders. Sure, you can’t “do stuff” together, but you have to take what you can get. When you haven’t physically seen each other, talking live on a screen is comforting. Seeing their apartment, watching them prepare tea in the kitchen or even just watching their reaction while you talk will help heal the hole made from not being able to be in the same location.

When you can’t Skype, call. And when you can’t call, text. Send pictures from your day, anything at all. The easiest mistake of long-distance relationships seems to be a lack of contact, so take advantage of technology. It’s these little things that a long-distance relationship depends on. If you think about it, it’s about all you have. Call on a 5-minute walk to the convenience store, or while you’re making a pot of coffee at work. Send a photo of your lunch, your outfit, anything that makes that day unique. (And if it’s a completely mundane day, try to stay light-hearted in your quips.)

Care packages can also do wonders. If your man loves your baking, send him some cookies (they last surprisingly well if

shipped in appropriate air-tight Tupperware) or hand-write out a recipe and put it in a card. Write him a letter, even if it’s just because. Spray the letter with your perfume (yes, this sounds cheesy, but smells can trigger memories and affection more than just seeing something). Send him a small trinket in the store that reminded you of him. Anything that may seem small can be the highlight of his day.

Plan as many visits as you can, even if they’re brief. If you’re three hours apart, take a weekend and spend it with just the two of you. Set it as a priority—other things will always come up, but if you don’t put it as No. 1 on your list, it won’t happen. Meet half-way or just spend an afternoon together, whatever it takes. And if you’re across the country, those visits are obviously going to be much more limited—all the more reason to prioritize and make sure your visits are quality and enriching.

But ultimately, a long-distance relationship is about attitude. If the two of you don’t think you can do it, you won’t. Plain and simple. If you focus on the negatives, it won’t work. If you keep your eyes on the future and your plans for reuniting, that’s where the motivation comes in. Reminding each other why you’re together despite the circumstances makes the other feel special and reminds you both why it’s all worth it. Encourage each other’s strength through this hard time; staying strong for one another is vital, since a big part of your relationship is lacking (for the time being). Remind yourselves it’s only temporary, plan things to do once you’re back together and stay busy while you’re apart. Wallowing will eat into your relationship. Don’t stop doing things that bring you joy. Two people who are happy separately can only imagine the bliss when they come together. And that’s what it’s all about.

1. Start by separating hair across the top of the head from ear to ear so that you have a front and back section. Let the front section fall into a natural part and clip away from rest of hair.

2. Gather half of the larger back section and begin lightly teasing in 3 sections from the crown down. Use texturizing spray to add volume.

3. Gather these three teased sections and gently smooth with a comb. Twist and secure with bobby pins.

4. Use a curling iron to create large, loose curls at the sides of the head. Slide a headband over the hair so that it crosses the forehead and sits almost at the base of the head.

5. Gather the rest of the hair at the base of the head and create a simple braid. Secure with an elastic band and loosen the braid by pulling at it. Roll the braid up and tuck into the back of the headband and secure with bobby pins.

6. Slide the headband into position on top of the head. Take the loose curls and gently wrap and tuck them into the sides of the headband. Take the ends of pony tail on the crown of the head and separate into two pieces. Take each piece and tie into knots with each of the ends from the front sections.

7. Take any remaining loose ends and tuck and pin into the braided chignon. Use a curling iron to touch up any straight hanging pieces. Spray a little of your favorite hair spray to hold the final look in place.

adies, it’s that time again! For the second year, we are introducing to you Wayne and Holmes Counties most eligible bachelors.

We asked you to nominate your friends, your co-workers, your family members, and tell us why you thought they would be perfect for our bachelor edition. We asked that each bachelor submitted be a resident or work in Holmes or Wayne Counties.

After making our top selections we asked the men to fill out a fun survey that gave us a glimpse of their personalities. We are sharing some of their responses with you.

As you flip through each bachelor, take some time to read their surveys and keep in mind who your favorites are. Once you have decided who your favorite is, visit The Daily Record’s website - www.the-daily-record.com - and look for a link to the survey. There you will find a poll and your opportunity to vote for your favorite bachelor.

You have until November 30 to vote for your favorite. We will then reveal the winner in our January issue. So get ready, get set, enjoy!

If you are interested in reaching out to one of our bachelors, you may send your information to editor@spectrumpubs.com (using “Bachelor Edition” in the subject line). We will not be releasing any personal information of our bachelors for privacy reasons, but we will pass your information on to the bachelor you are interested in. It will be up to the bachelor to take the lead from there.

Someone who knows who she is and how to enjoy life. Someone who is out to have a good time.

Spontaneity and spur of the moment adventures. They must also like country music and gospel music.

n almost 35 years of selling home furnishings and providing in-home decorating services, I've met and worked with just about every type of furniture

shopper, from the highly organized to the highly stressed, from the overly impulsive to the overly analytical. From the big, "this is my favorite way to spend a day," smiles to the, "I'd much rather have a root canal" frowns, people approach the prospect of selecting new furniture from every possible direction. If you find the whole process overwhelming, you're not alone. You don't buy furniture every week like groceries or gasoline. Fear not, help is at hand! Here are six easy tips to put some of the fun back into the furniture shopping experience!

1. GET ORGANIZED- AND GET OUT YOUR TAPE MEASURE. You may think you know your home like the back of

your hand, but once you're surrounded by new furniture styles, colors, and patterns, the same questions come up: how big is my current sofa? How long is that wall? Could this be moved to there? Get some graph paper and make a map of your room before you start to shop, running a tape measure around all four walls. That's the first thing we do if we visit a home to help with decorating, and it saves a ton of uncertainties. Note the width of windows, doors, and openings as well as the position of plugs, ceiling fixtures, fireplaces, and any other unique features. Most designers use a 1/4 inch= one foot scale (so the little squares on that graph paper should each represent 12 inches).

2. GATHER ANY SAMPLES YOU CAN.A paint color swatch, a chunk of carpet trimmed off that

extra piece in the basement, an armcover from an existing chair you plan to keep- fill a ziplock bag with as many souvenirs from the room you're working with as possible. You may think the carpet is neutral and will go with most anything, but that's rarely the case. Being able to see the little flecks of color in your beige Berber carpet next to the leather or fabric you're considering will quickly separate the great choices from the runners up. While you're at it, clip out any pictures from magazines or note website links showing pieces that catch your eye.

3. YOU HAVE A CAMERA ON YOUR PHONE- PUT IT TO WORK!

Snap some pictures of your room, especially if window or wall coverings are in place that you'll be decorating around. It will help the sales professional you're working with

understand your project better. Seeing your room the way you see it is one big reason we make in-home decorating visits, and photos are the next best thing to being there.

4. WHILE THE CAMERA IS OUT, SHOOT THE FIREPLACE. It's often the most attention getting element in a room,

and it's not likely to change. Choosing textures and patterns that compliment the distinctive brick, stone, or tile in your fireplace can be one of the keys to a great room design.

5. DON'T LET THE OLD CARPET RUIN YOUR FUN!Tired of your carpet but need to wait a few years before

replacing it? Then don't decorate around it. Choose the furnishings you want to live with for the next several years. If your old carpet won't play nice with the new colors you want, invest in an inexpensive area rug to create a buffer between them. You just might find what's left to see of the old rug isn't all that awful.

6. START SMALL, THEN GO BIG.It seems like common sense to select the fabric for the

largest piece of furniture first, but that's where many people get stuck and run out of inspiration. That's because today's decorating tends to focus on neutrals and solid colors for larger pieces like sectionals and sofas, with patterns reserved for accents, pillows, and artwork. Why not start with a killer pillow fabric that just makes you smile, or an inspiring piece of artwork? From a carefully chosen accent, you can easily "back up" into the larger picture, finding great looking solid textures, paint colors, and carpet patterns that compliment it.

Like rolling a stone down a mountain, once you get your project started in the right direction, it gets easier and easier. Hopefully these tips will help get you on the right track. I helped a woman recently select some pillows and accessories for her new room- just finishing touches, not a life-changing process. We spent about an hour and a half together, and as she left, she said something that made my day: "Thanks for making this fun!" After all, that's what furnishing your home should be all about!

Even the custom of wearing costumes has its roots in keeping evil spirits at bay. Costumes and masks were worn to confuse bad spirits and frighten them so that they could not bestow misfortune on the more fortunate. People also wore masks and ventured out after dark so that envious ghosts who were cold and outside could not recognize residents of warm and inviting homes.

The trick-or-treating custom may have blended origins. Druids believed the dead would play tricks on mankind during Samhain, causing destruction and panic. To appease the spirits, people would give the dead food and other treats.

Another custom, called “souling,” can be linked to Halloween as well. Early Christians would walk from village to village asking for “soul cakes,” which were square pieces of bread with currants. The more cakes received, the more prayers the faithful would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the cake donors to expedite a soul’s passage to heaven.

Irish trick-or-treating customs may be traced back to collecting supplies door-to-door for the festival of St. Columbkille.

Halloween revelry is full of traditions passed on through the ages.

The traditions of Halloweenctober 31st is nearly here, and soon the streets will be filled with costumed revelers eager to get their share of the free-flowing candy and other prizes.

Year after year, trick-or-treaters don their costumes and parade from home to home. But have you ever wondered where this and other traditions began?

Trick-or-treating and wearing costumes seem like odd traditions to those unaccustomed to Halloween. Halloween customs are actually a blend of Celtic, Catholic, Pagan, and ancient Roman traditions. It is thought that Halloween celebrations date back to roughly 800 to 600 BC, when they originally were observances of the harvest season and nature before the arrival of winter, which marked the barren state of the landscape. The Celtic festival of Samhain was a major influence on modern day Halloween.

On October 31, Celts also believed the door to the underworld was opened and could let in deceased spirits. Feasts were held and place-settings were left for deceased relatives, as they were believed to return home for a visit. In addition to friendly spirits, mean spirts also could cross over. Bonfires were lit to ward off spirits, and extra candles would be used in homes and churches to keep evil away.

ith so many different choices in the vitamin aisle, many women find it difficult to choose the right ones to fit their personal needs.

As a woman, keeping your body healthy is an important task. Whether you are in your child-bearing years, taking folic acid for a healthy baby, or in your post-menopausal years, taking extra calcium for healthy bones, there are various vitamins for women to consider at every stage of life. A DAILY REGIMEN

It’s no secret that the use of vitamins has become a common act for most people. In fact, a recent Gallup poll found that 54 percent of women take a vitamin on a daily basis. If your intention is to prevent disease, such as cancer or osteoporosis, or you just want to fill in nutrition gaps not covered in your daily diet, the reasons for taking vitamins and their many different forms are endless.GIVING BACK

While having the means to obtain such essential nutrients is simple for most Americans, there are many people who aren’t as fortunate. In an effort to improve the everyday health of people everywhere, Walgreens is joining up with Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk populations gain access to lifesaving micronutrients.

Customers can make a difference and help children and mothers at risk by purchasing select health and wellness

supplements at Walgreens. With each purchase, the company will offer 1 percent of its vitamins sales to help provide 100 million at-risk children and mothers in the US and abroad with essential vitamins and minerals.

“Walgreens’ mission is to help people get, stay and live well, and we are proud to support Vitamin Angels’ cause,” said Robert Tompkins, group vice president and general merchandise manager. “Through this program, our customers can make a difference in so many lives by simply continuing to fulfill their health and wellness needs at Walgreens.”

For more information, visit www.vitaminangels.org and www.walgreens.com.

Trends in women’s nutritionFrom TV talk shows to the local nightly news programs, the

public is never at a loss for nutritional information targeted toward women. Use this list of some of the popular vitamins and supplements that have recently made headlines to help you decide whether they fit into your health and wellness regimen.MULTIVITAMINS

While most of the nutrients contained within multivitamins can be found in food, taking one daily can fill in any missing gaps. A daily multivitamin can satisfy all of your daily nutrition needs. When shopping for the right product, note that not all multivitamins are created equal. Some varieties offer a different amount of nutrients targeted to a specific age group or function, such as Centrum Silver Women 50+ Multivitamin tablets, which provide additional support for breast and bone health.OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTS

Perhaps one of the most talked about nutrition products on the market, omega-3 fish oil supplements have been praised by various health professionals for their heart health benefits. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One product, Nature’s Bounty Odorless Fish Oil 1000 mg Dietary Supplement Softgels, provides a special coating to minimize the unfavorable aftertaste often associated with such pills.VITAMIN D

While many people obtain vitamin D through exposure to natural sunlight, it can also be found in small increments in fatty fishes and in fortified dairy and cereal products. Supplements of both vitamin D3 (at 700–800 IU/day) have been shown to reduce the risk of bone loss and fractures in elderly people aged 62–85 years. For those looking for a convenient way to get the vitamin D needed for optimal health, try the Finest Nutrition Vitamin 5000 IU Dietary Supplement.CALCIUM

To keep bones healthy and strong throughout life, your body requires calcium. This bone-strengthening nutrient reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis. To increase your calcium intake, try the Nature Made Calcium 600 mg with Vitamin D Dietary Supplement Liquid Softgels, which provide additional vitamin D to promote calcium absorption.FOLIC ACID

A nutrient commonly taken by women who are pregnant or who wish to become pregnant, folic acid is known to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in babies.

For those looking to improve their health and wellbeing, a general understanding of the many uses for vitamins and supplements may just be their own personal key to longevity.

PROTEIN PACKS A POWER PUNCHHealth

hen it comes to teaching kids about healthy eating habits, there’s no better classroom than the kitchen.

From conceiving recipes to measuring, pouring and mixing, helping out in the kitchen is not only fun, it gets kids interested in trying new and healthy foods that they may otherwise push to the edge of their plates. So when you’re searching for delicious, nutrient-rich and kid-friendly recipes to make together as a family, get inspired by the wonderful canned foods in your pantry.

Nutritious pantry picksMany of us have long relied on canned foods because

they’re affordable and convenient, but they’re so much more. Many canned fruits and vegetables are just as, if not more, nutritious than their fresh or frozen counterparts. In fact, according to a recent study using data from the NPD Group’s Food Impact Profile, adults and kids who eat more canned foods have healthier diets and are more likely to meet or exceed their recommended daily allowance for 17 essential nutrients. Since the canning process locks in foods’ nutrients at the peak of ripeness, all of the freshness, flavor and goodness are naturally sealed in. And by having different varieties of canned produce on hand, you have year-round access to healthy recipes that feature your favorite fruits and vegetables.

With canned food staples like protein-packed black beans, hearty chicken and vitamin C-rich peaches, easy and

Simple ways canned foods get kids cooking
