Do You Step Outside Your Box?

Oct 16, 2022 | Special Features by Leslie & Kay, founders

a special feature from Kay & Leslie, founders grandparentslink.com

Let’s face it- as we have aged, our brains function as a task automaton- meaning that we keep ourselves in the comfort zone of what we know best. We tend to find security and well-being in the routines we have set forth, which we manage accordingly. In doing so, we are truly fulfilled when we experience what we sense is most comfortable or predictable. It’s not that we become boring as we age- rather experience gives us boundaries and parameters in which to operate our daily lives and relationships. There’s nothing wrong in operating in your own comfort zone; it is truly a path of least resistance.

Yummy Summertime!

As we all know, the classic s’mores are prepared outside on the grill or around a campfire, but you can always make s’mores in the oven.*

Graham crackers are usually everyone’s first choice. However, there are other options, such as chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies—or even Oreo’s.

Chocolate Kissed Pretzels

Sep 30, 2021 | Recipes

a special feature by Arlene Bronstein, Author & Grandmother Extraordinaire*

Years ago my husband’s aunt, Mitzi Tucker, gave me this recipe. She taught me how to make these pretzels with my children. Today my grandkids love making them with me. I keep the ingredients in my pantry and pull them out when we need a fun activity. My grandkids love to choose what types of kisses to use, unwrap them and then decide which color M&M to place on which pretzel. This may seem like a simple task, but they spend a lot of time in the decision making process!

Yes, Chocolate is Good for You!

Feb 4, 2021 | Latest & Greatest

(okay, okay in moderation that is!)

So here’s the deal about chocolate – first of all, it’s actually been reported to boost your immune system. Yep, that little cacao bean (the source from which chocolate is derived) is full of antioxidants which play a key role in supporting a healthy system. The truth is, the deeper the color chocolate, the more antioxidants. So go for that dark chocolate, as the lighter milk chocolate doesn’t offer the same benefits.
