Larry Peterson, Vice President of National Accounts, has a great libation to liven up any holiday gathering with this wonderful Old Fashioned Swedish Glogg recipe.




 Jon Mitchell, Vice President of National Accounts, recommends this amazing Kabocha Squash Pie With Spiced Crust.  It won a winter squash recipe blind taste test (the pumpkin is part of the squash family) and promises to win over your holiday guests, too! 


Courtnie Hicks, Director of Account Management, has shared a few recipes, including this savory Italian Briolata. Not the easiest of the recipes she shared, but it's a favorite of her Italian family!



For an easy appetizer, Courtnie recommends these Easy Ham Roll-Ups.  


For another quick crowd-pleaser, Courtnie also suggests her grandmother's recipe for Cracker Toffee.



Brenda Sayegh, Vice President of National Accounts, says these Magic Cookies are absolutely delicious and easy to make.




Camden Edwards, Director of Account Management, shares her favorite Thanksgiving dish, Green Bean Casserole.  "It's not a family recipe since it comes from the back of the French's Crispy Fried Onions Box," laughs Camden.  "But we love it."  



Alicia Perez-Arrieta, Vice President, Client Management, Washington, DC Area, shared a recipe  for Cuban Guava Cookies that her grandmother used to make on a regular basis.  “These cookies are still a family favorite, she explains. “Both of my parents are originally from Cuba and this recipe comes from my maternal grandmother, Rosa Arrieta.  I and others in my family make these cookies throughout the year, but I especially like to make them at Christmas.  They are red (guava) and white (cookie part) so they seem festive to me!”

Staying Strong On the Sidelines: Physical & Mental Fitness Tips For Meetings/Events Industry Members

Image
By Jonathan Misiewicz, Vice President of National Accounts, Connections Housing Let’s face it, we’re all used to working in a very fast-paced environment. Now, in place of daily deadlines, back-to-back meetings, overflowing email boxes and a seemingly insurmountable to-do list, our industry has been sidelined by coronavirus and the uncertainty in its wake.   A temporary set-back to be sure, but it’s left us all waiting - biding our time while looking for signs that business is returning.     Mindset Management The key thing to remember is that this return is out of our control.   We should turn our focus, instead, to what we can control.   Use this down time wisely --   zeroing in on those mental and physical aspects of our lives that took a back seat while we were always on the go --   and working   to strengthen them so that we are ready and at the top of our game when the time comes to get back to work at full throttle. I’m making a conscious effort to focus on healthy living
