It knocks the wind out of you so much it’s hard to think. It’s ironic that when we are grief stricken and overwhelmed, we must make some of the most difficult decisions like how to honor our loved one, one final time. Writing an obituary, planning a service, and choosing a monument can seem unwieldy in those moments. What if you never discussed those things? What if you are not sure what they’d like, or your family members disagree? What if the costs are not within your budget? These challenges could be eliminated by preplanning. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the median cost of a traditional funeral today is $7,640, before cemetery and headstone costs. Inclusive of them, it can be a $10,000 investment or more. www.columbusmessenger.com Tips to make baking more healthy Baking sessions are a beloved family tradition in many households. But such sessions may not be as revered by family physicians, as baked goods are often prepared with ingredients, like sugar and butter, that aren’t necessarily sound additions to a person’s diet. Though baked goods may never rival vegetables in nutritional value, there are ways for amateur bakers to make these beloved foods a little more healthy. • Replace sugar with a fig puree. Figs are nutrition-rich fruits that serve as significant sources of calcium, potassium and iron. WebMD notes that figs also are excellent sources of fiber. Soaking eight ounces of figs in water can soften them before they’re pureed with water. The resulting fig puree can serve as a sugar substitute. • Make it a ‘dates’ night. Much like figs, dates can be pureed and serve as a sugar substitute. However, WebMD notes that pureed dates will not be able to replace all of the sugar in a recipe. One cup of pureed pitted dates with one cup of water can replace as much as half of the sugar a recipe calls for. • Replace butter with avocados. It’s not just sugar that can make baked goods so unhealthy. Many baking recipes call for a substantial amount of butter. California Avocados notes that avocados can replace butter at a 1:1 ratio when baking. So if a recipe calls for one cup of butter, bakers can replace that with one cup of pureed avocados. WebMD warns that avocados have more water than butter, so bakers may want to reduce the temperature in their ovens by 25 percent and bake the foods a little longer. • Replace white flour with whole wheat flour. White flour is often the go-to for amateur and even professional bakers. But white flour is processed, which removes the bran and germ of the grain, thus stripping white flour of much of its nutritional value. Whole wheat flour is not processed, so it retains its nutritional value. Baking with whole wheat flour may require a learning curve, and some bakers prefer to use a mix of whole-wheat and white flour to preserve the flavors they’ve grown accustomed to. Baked goods may never pack the most nutritious punch, but there are ways for amateur bakers to make such foods a little more healthy. PAID ADVERTISING Pre-planning your final wishes: A healing gift to your family Making final plans is a wonderful gift to a family. It not only protects loved ones from unplanned expenses, it takes the guesswork and stress out of making important decisions during an emotional time. Today, it is possible to plan, design, and pay for everything up front from the service, burial, and headstone. In fact, companies like Modlich Monument Company can produce a headstone in advance, adding final touches at the passing of a loved one. Pre-planning gives the family time to research options, talk and include personal details that ads a special touch. Pre-planning also locks in the cost and removes the financial burden from survivors, a gift they will truly appreciate. Learn more at Modlich-monument.com or call 614-276-1439.
