Rise & Shine Breakfast
When the grandkids stay overnight, we
like to serve them dishes like this. It doesn’t
take very long to prepare, but they’ll think
you’ve made a big fuss over them.
6 eggs, beaten or equivalent in egg substitute
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 cup diced extra-lean ham
1 (7.5-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray an 8-by8-inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
2. In large skillet sprayed with cooking
spray, combine eggs and lemon pepper.
Cook over medium heat until eggs are set,
stirring often. Set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine dry
milk powder and water. Stir in mustard and
parsley flakes. Add Cheddar cheese. Mix
well to combine. Cook over medium heat
until cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Fold in ham and
cooked eggs.
4. Spread mixture into prepared baking
dish. Separate biscuits and cut each into 4
pieces. Evenly sprinkle biscuit pieces over
top of egg mixture. Lightly spray biscuit tops
with cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes or
until biscuits are golden brown.
5. Place baking dish on a wire rack and let
set for 5 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
Taylor paid a surprise visit to Forrester
Creations and became concerned when
she heard Aly communicating with her
late mother, Darla. Hope gave Wyatt the
daunting task of getting Quinn to understand that she was not welcome in their
lives. Rick put Ridge and Caroline in
their places when he let them know their
positions within the new structure of the
company. Liam was apprehensive about
his other traveling companions when Ivy
invited him to join her on a business trip to
Amsterdam. Maya attempted to reap the
benefits of dating the CEO. Sensing that
Rick was having second thoughts about
leaving Caroline, Maya did her best to remind him of his wife’s betrayal. Carter gave
Caroline insight into Maya’s motives. Quinn
convinced Wyatt to do her bidding. Wait to
See: Ivy offers Hope relationship advice.
Extra Day
in Hospital
Could Save
Your Life
Would you willingly stay in the hospital one more day to reduce
your chances of being readmitted? A study by
Columbus Business School shows that even one
day longer in the hospital can reduce readmissions and costs -- and save lives -- when compared to outpatient care.
The study focused on pneumonia,
heart failure and myocardial infarctions in 6 million patients over the
age of 65. Here are the stats for one
extra day in the hospital:
¥ Mortality risk reduced by 7 percent for those who have had a heart
attack; 22 percent for those who
have been treated for pneumonia.
¥ Readmissions rate decreased
by 7 percent for those with severe
heart failure.
¥ Five to six times more lives
saved compared to using outpatient
care.
¥ When it comes to cost, an additional day in the hospital usually
costs less than outpatient care that
is the result of being released from
the hospital too early.
At this point, nearly 20 percent of
Medicare patients end up being readmitted within a month. It makes
sense for hospitals to try to keep readmissions at a minimum, because
penalties will begin for additional illnesses and conditions beginning in
2015.
So far hospitals have looked for
ways to keep the readmission rate
down, mostly by using outpatient care. However,
this study shows that for most patients, that one
extra day in the hospital is the better method to
reduce readmissions and deaths.
NOTE: Remember that you have until Dec. 7 to
join a Medicare health or drug plan
in the open enrollment, or make
changes to the one you have for
2015. Go online to medicare.gov
and compare your options. Look
for the Medicare & You booklet for
a lot of answers. Or contact Medicare at 1-800-633-4227.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) A long-sought workplace
change could be happening
soon. Consider reworking
your ideas and preparing a
presentation just in case. A
personal relationship takes a
new turn.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your persuasiveness doesn’t
really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count
on having more supporters in
your camp, including some you
doubted would ever join you.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Your workload is still high, but
-- good news! -- you should
start to see daylight by the
week’s end. Reserve the
weekend for fun and games
with friends and loved ones.
You deserve it.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Regardless of how frustrating things are, keep that
“Crab” under control. A cutting
comment you might think is
apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to
come.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Be more sensitive to the
emotions of loved ones who
might feel left out while you’re
stalking that new opportunity.
Be sure to make it up to them
this weekend. A nice surprise
could be waiting.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The gregarious
Virgo rarely has a problem
making new friends. But repairing frayed relationships
doesn’t come easily. Still, if it’s
what you want to do, you’ll find
a way. Good luck.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse
needs to be worked out before it turns into something
really nasty. Forget about your
pride for now and make that
first healing move.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Communication
dominates the week. Work
out any misunderstandings
with co-workers. Also get
back in touch with old friends
and those family members
you rarely see.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) As busy
as your week is, make time
for someone who feels shut
out of your life. Your act of
kindness could later prove to
be more significant than you
might have realized.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Congratulations. Your busy workweek
leads to some very satisfying
results. Sports and sporting
events are high on your weekend activities aspect. Enjoy
them with family and friends.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Your generosity of spirit reaches out once
again to someone who needs
reassurance. There might be
problems, but keeping that
line of communication open
eventually pays off.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) You are among the
truth-seekers in the universe,
so don’t be surprised to find
yourself caught up in a new
pursuit of facts to counter what
you believe is an insidious exercise in lying.
BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in loyalty and in keeping
secrets. All things considered,
you would probably make a
perfect secret agent.
