COOKING CORNER Here are a few recipes to spice up the grill this summer from FamilyFun.com. Fruited Chicken Salad Salad: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves... . 3 cups; I-inch chunks ripe can- ‘taloupe MT 1 medium English (seedless) cucumber, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (2 cups) Tarragon Dressing: 1/4 cup plain lowfat yogurt 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tar- ragon, or 3/4 teaspoon dried leaves, crumbled 1/4 teaspoon salt Step 1) Preheat grill to medium- high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center. Let cool, then cut into strips. Step 2) Make the dressing: In a large serving bowl, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, tarragon, and salt until well blended. Step 3) Add the melon, cucum- ber, and chicken. Toss gently to mix and coat. Serve at room tem- perature. Kids’ Favorite Fruit Salad Ingredients: 1 (17-0z.) can fruit cocktail, drained 11/2 cups miniature marshmal- lows 1/4 cup drained maraschino cherries, halved 2 medium bananas, sliced 1 medium apple, coarsely chopped 1 1/2 cups frozen whipped top- ping, thawed, or sweetened whipped cream Lettuce leaves Step 1) In large bowl, combine all ingredients except whipped topping and lettuce; mix lightly. Gently fold in whipped topping. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving time. Step 2) To serve, spoon salad onto lettuce-lined plates. If desired, garnish with additional maraschino cherries. Pan-fried Trout Ingredients: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or cornmeal (extra crunch, use cornmeal instead) 2 tsp. dried parsley 1 tsp. dried minced onions 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. dried basil 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. dried lemon peel 1/4 tsp. pepper Pinch of cayenne pepper Two 9 oz. trout 1 tbsp. butter or oil Step 1) At home, mix the dry ingredients in a large, sealable plastic bag. At the site, clean and filet the fish. Shake the cleaned fish in the bag of dry mix. Heat the butter or oil in a heavy frying pan set on a grill about 1 inch above hot coals. Cook the coated fish for 6 minutes, flip, and con- tinue cooking until it flakes. Makes 4 servings. Savory Mediterranean Turkey Burgers Ingredients: : 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey 1 medium-size firm Bosc pear, peeled, cored, and coarsely grat- ed 1 egg, lightly beaten ; 1 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs) 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh sage, fine- ly chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons leaves, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper rosemary 1) Mix together the turkey, pear, egg, panko, parsley, garlic, sage, rosemary, and allspice in a large bowl until well combined. Add the salt and pepper, or more to taste. (To test the flavor, cook a teaspoon or two of the mixture in the microwave or a small skil- let.) 2) Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties, gently pressing the center of each to create a slight indentation. This will prevent the patty from bulging in the center, so that you end up with a flat, evenly cooked burger. Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready. 3) Prepare a charcoal fire or a gas grill to medium-hot. Wipe the rack with canola oil and lay the burgers on it indentation-side ‘up. Let them cook, without pressing down on them, until the bottoms are well seared, about 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the burgers and continue grilling until they are completely cooked through (the juices will run clear), another 5 to 7 minutes. The Kings Mountain Herald July 26, 2007 Summit Place selected Community of the Year EMILY WEAVER eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com Summit Place Assisted Living of Kings Mountain was recently honored as the 2006 Bell Senior Living Community of the Year at the 2007 Leadership Conference for Steven D. Bell & Company. Summit Place received this high honor because of its “con- tinued success over the years” and “strong stable leadership,” said CEO Mike Bateman of Bell Senior Living. “In order for a senior living community to be successful, like a successful race team, there are a variety of factors to consider,” he said. “It’s not just the driver that determines whether or not a car crosses the finish line first. There is the car, the engine, the pit crew, track conditions, the driver, the owners of the team and much more working togeth- er for one common goal.” He said that they looked at 13 factors, in addition to the compa- ny’s mission statement, to find 2006's Community of the Year. Those factors were: resident sat- isfaction surveys; turnover per- centages; controllable expenses; operating margins; community involvement; whether or not the candidates assisted other Bell Senior Living communities; reg- ulatory compliance survey results; sanitation, building and fire inspections; Worker's Compensation record; Average Daily Occupancy; whether or not the community had been man- aged by BSL one year prior to conference; maintenance of com- munity grounds and common areas; and whether or not the candidates had a superior activi- ty program. : Summit Place of Kings Mountain was up against 17 other senior living communities, FOOD INSPECTIONS TERRI WRIGHT currently managed by BSL. Bateman said that former Executive Director and current Regional Director of Operations Kristi Anthony “inherited a trou- bled community five years ago and worked diligently to devel- op a strong and committed group of key department man- agers that today have earned the distinction of the community of choice in their town and county.” All of its scores in each of the 13 criterions added up to Summit Place’s Community of the Year success. “I don’t say this about many communities, but I would feel comfortable putting my mother in this community,” he said. “I know she would be treated with dignity and respect each day and receive the highest quality of care possible. Consistency has been the key to this community’s success.” Anthony and current Executive Director = Teresa Childers accepted the honor and a check of $2,000 at the confer- ence.
