Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the oats, carrots and pecans.
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Bunny Oreo Balls

If you are looking for a cute dessert, check out these Oreo Bunny Balls from the Food Network!

Ingredient:

1 pack of oreos- you can use gluten free, regular or double stuffed!

6 ounces cream cheese 

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar  

3/4 teaspoon meringue powder (available in the baking aisle) 

Pink gel food coloring  

Black gel food coloring 

2 cups white candy melting wafers (about 13 ounces) 

1 teaspoon refined coconut oil  

White sanding sugar, for decorating 

Pink sanding sugar, for decorating 

45 mini marshmallows  

Instructions: 

1. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Pulse the cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and pulse together until the mixture begins to ball up. Transfer to a large bowl and knead together a few times until completely combined.
3. Roll about 1/3 of the mixture into 18 truffles (about 1 level tablespoon each) and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Roll the remaining mixture into 18 larger truffles, (about 1 heaping tablespoon each), and place on the second prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm and chilled through, about 1 hour.
4. While the truffles chill, prepare the decorations.
5. For the royal icing, combine the confectioner’s sugar and meringue powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on low speed just to combine. Add 2 1/2 teaspoons water and increase the speed to medium. Beat the mixture until the icing is stiff enough to hold a peak but soft enough to pipe, about 2 minutes. If the icing gets too stiff, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more water.
6. Divide the icing evenly between 2 bowls. Tint one bowl of icing bright pink using the pink food coloring. Tint the remaining bowl of icing with the black food coloring. Transfer the pink and black icings to separate piping bags (with no cut openings) or to resealable plastic bags and set aside.
7. For the white coating, combine the candy melting wafers and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the wafers are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute 20 seconds. Set aside.
8. Put some white sanding sugar and pink sanding sugar in separate bowls.
9. For the bunny tails: Cut 9 of the marshmallows crosswise to create 18 halves. Carefully dip one flat side of each marshmallow piece in the white candy coating, let the excess drip off and then dip in the white sanding sugar. Place each marshmallow piece sugar-side up on a plate to set. These will be the bunny tails.
10. For the bunny ears: Cut 18 of the marshmallows in half on the diagonal to create 18 pairs of bunny ears. Dip the cut side of each marshmallow piece in the pink sanding sugar. Place sugar-side up on the plate with the tails to set.
11. For the bunny feet: Cut the remaining 18 marshmallows in half lengthwise to create 18 pairs of feet. Set aside on the plate with the tails and ears.
12. Put a truffle in the white coating and use 2 forks to evenly coat. Lift out the truffle, letting any excess drip off, then return to the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining truffles (both sizes) until all are all coated. If the coating cools to room temperature during the dipping process, microwave it in 20-second intervals to reheat. Reserve the leftover white coating to use as glue for the tails, ears and feet.
13. For the heads: Dip the bottoms of 2 bunny ears in the leftover white coating, place on top of a small truffle and hold in place until the coating sets, about 15 seconds. Snip a very small tip off the corner of each bag of icing. Pipe a small pink heart for a nose on the front (face) of the truffle. Pipe a pair of eyes and mouth using the black royal icing. Repeat with the remaining small truffles.
14. For the bottoms: Dip the cut side of a marshmallow tail in the leftover white coating. Place the tail on top of one of the large truffles and hold in place until the coating sets, about 15 seconds. Dip the cut sides of two marshmallow feet in the leftover white coating. Position them on the truffle below the tail and hold until set in place. Use the pink royal icing to pipe a large oval on the top each foot and 3 small circles underneath for toes. Repeat with the remaining large truffles.
15. Return all the truffles to the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes. Serve chilled.

Holiday season is here! Finding outdoor activities close to your Glenwood apartment for you and your family will help make lasting memories! Visiting the Rockefeller Tree this year is a fun, distanced activity that is enjoyable for all! If you saw pictures of the tree when it first arrived, you may know it came in looking a bit disheveled- but don’t fear, it has gotten branch extensions (yes apparently that is a real thing!) and it now looks full and beautiful. Keep reading to find out more about visiting the tree this year.

History Of The Rockefeller Tree

This is Rockefeller Center’s 92nd annual Christmas Tree! The first tree was back in December of 1931. The workers paid for a 20-foot-tall tree to lift spirits! They even created their own tree ornaments and garlands. Holiday cheer can lift spirits- which is especially important this year! 

When To Visit

The 74-foot tree will be on display through the beginning of January and you can visit from 6am to 12am. On New Year’s Eve, you can only visit until 9pm. It can get crowded, so if you have the chance to visit during an hour that isn’t so popular, try that to get the closest and best view possible!

Glenwood’s Environmental Focus

Glenwood places an emphasis on being conscious of the environment we build in- whether that is implementing new green technology or planting green around our buildings. Our latest Green endeavor has been installing CarbonQuest’s revolutionary carbon capture technology that is designed to prevent up to 5,000 tons of total emissions per year at The Grand Tier and is actively installing the system across 5 more buildings, The Fairmont, The Bristol, The Paramount Tower, The Barclay, and The Somerset- 2.5 million square feet of residential space.

Green Building Emphasis

Many of the organization’s newest offerings, such as Emerald Green, Crystal Green, Hawthorn Park and the Encore, are built to LEED specifications. Glenwood buys “Green Power” energy, the electricity comes from nationally sourced wind RECs-Renewable Energy Credits. In addition, these buildings utilize a Demand Shifter, which is a power storage battery that is able to store electricity during off-peak hours and maintain a charge to use during high-demand hours. With the ability to power off the city grid, this Demand Shifter helps to protect New York City from a brown out or black out. Additionally, many Glenwood building garages have charging stations for electric cars. 

Planting Green

Every year, Glenwood plants over 120,000 tulip bulbs! Glenwood strives to make a commitment to be green inside and outside our properties! This spring, take a walk past our Glenwood buildings and you will be sure to see all the hard work and dedication to making our neighborhoods beautiful each spring!

A Large Jar of Spirit

This is a very simple, but yet incredibly delicious recipe that your kids can help make! It also is aesthetically pretty, which is always a bonus! This dessert looks best in mason jars (which are great because they are reusable), but can be made in any clear container or cup. You can make small individual servings or a large jar for sharing.

Ingredients

1. Strawberries
2. Blueberries
3. Whipped Cream
4. Shortbread cookie (or vanilla wafers)    

Directions

1. All you need to do is to layer these ingredients! It is best to place the shortbread or vanilla wafers on the bottom to absorb the flavors
2. I recommend next to put a layer of blueberries followed by a layer of whipped cream
3. On top of the whipped cream, add a layer of strawberries (you can either home make or use premade whipped cream depending on how much time you have!)
4. Repeat this order until the mason jar is topped off
5. Store in the refrigerator until you serve them
6. You can make the jars extra cute by wrapping them with red and blue ribbon

Alternate Steps

1. If you want this to be very effortless, whipped cream in a can and store bought shortbread will do just fine!
2. If you want to make your own whipped cream, this is a great recipe: make sure you have 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon confection sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.  Combine all ingredients in a mixer and whip it together! 

3. You can also display in a tin baking tray if you want to create an American flag shape! Put the shortbread cookies on the bottom, layered with the berries and topped with whip cream stripes!

Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Covered Strawberries

This is an easy dessert to make that your family can have fun creating! 

Ingredients

1. Fresh Strawberries
2. White chocolate 
3. Red and blue sprinkles 

Directions

1. Place a pot of boiling water on your stove
2. Place a metal bowl into that water the white chocolate in the bowl
3. Watch the chocolate in the bowl carefully to make sure the chocolate melts, but does not burn
4. As soon as the white chocolate has melted, remove it and quickly dip the strawberries into the bowl to coat them
5. Place the sprinkles of different colors into small bowls and dip the strawberries in to create delicious red, white and blue treats!

Strawberry Crisp With Blueberries On Top

Ingredients 

1. Strawberries (enough to fill 1.5 inch pan)
2. 1 lemon
3.  1/2 cup of Butter 
4. ½ cup of Oats
5. ½ cup of Flour 
6. ½ cup of Brown Sugar
7. ½ tsp Salt
8. A pinch of white sugar
9. A handful of blueberries

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 and grease the baking pan you want to use 
2. Dice strawberries up in a bowl and squeeze a favorable amount of lemon on top 
3. Place the strawberries in the bottom of a pan, dust top with a pinch of white sugar
4. In a food processor or mixer add all the dry ingredients plus the cold butter (this will be your crumble topping) 
5. Add the mixed topping on top of the strawberries
6. Place the pan into the oven for 30 minutes (or until the crisp crust begins to turn golden brown)
7. Spread a handful of blueberries over the crisp for both decorative and delicious purposes!

How To Get There

If you are wondering how to get to Jone’s beach from your Glenwood apartment, there are very easy forms of transportation! If you have your own car, you can purchase a park pass with your concert ticket. The car ride from Manhattan is roughly 1:30-1:45 depending on what part of NYC you are leaving from. If you want to Uber or Lyft- those are great options, especially if you are planning on having a drink at the venue. If you want to take the train, which is probably the fastest option during rush hour traffic, you can take the LIRR to the Freeport stop and from there you can thaw the direct n88 bus to Jones beach which is only 20 min away! Or you can taxi/ uber from there.
