🦃🍂 Thankful for Our Team: Meet Sarah Forester! 🍂🦃

As we celebrate this season of gratitude, we’re giving thanks for the amazing people who make up our North Platte family — and today, we’re spotlighting Sarah Forester! 🌻

Sarah has been part of North Platte for 12 wonderful years, and we’re so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and the joy she brings to our team every day. 💛

When we asked Sarah what she’s most thankful for, she shared:

“My family and friends (mostly Naidene!) and spending time with them.” 🧡

Here’s a fun fact that makes Sarah’s family extra special — she, her husband Michael, and their four children all have an ‘H’ in their names! (Sarah, Michael, Chelsey, Shantel, Chay, and Jhett!) How fun is that?

And of course, no Thanksgiving would be complete without Sarah’s favorites — a big slice of Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie! 🥧✨

Sarah recommends adding her Pecan Pie for a tasty sweet treat to your dinner this week: (Sarah prefers to buy the Pie crust)🥧

(makes one 9" pie)
3/4 C sugar
2TBSP Flour
1 Tsp Salt
1 C Dark Karo Syrup
2 Eggs
1/2 C Evaporated milk
1Tsp Vanilla
1 C Pecans

-In a large bowl cream together sugar, flour, salt, and corn syrup. 🧂
-Mix in the eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla.🥚
-Reserve a few pecans and stir the rest into the batter. Pour into unbaked pie shell.
-Add a few of the reserved pecans on top of the pie in any empty spots, to make it look pretty. Use a small spoon to cover them with batter.🥧
-Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temp to 350 degrees F and continue baking for about 50 minutes. Check the pie half way through cooking and tent a large piece of greased aluminum foil over the top of the pie. (I tent it high so it doesn't touch the pie filling).
✨You will know your pecan pie is done when you can shake it gently and it is not overly jiggly. If it jiggles a lot when shaking, continue cooking until the center is more set, 5-10 more minutes, or longer if needed. Err on the side of cooking it longer rather than shorter to ensure that the middle has set.✨

🍂 Meet Our Team – Thanksgiving Edition! 🍁

🍁 Meet Ben Mangus! 🍂

Ben has been part of the North Platte family for over 15 years — and we couldn’t be more thankful for him!

What Ben’s most thankful for:
“My family and their health.” ❤️

It’s no surprise that Thanksgiving is Ben’s favorite holiday — and he’s got some delicious favorite dishes to go with it:

Sweet: Snicker Salad 🍏🍫

Savory: Green Bean Casserole 🥘

We’re so grateful for Ben’s dedication, positivity, and the joy he brings to our team every day. Here’s to many more years (and many more helpings of Snicker Salad)!

And if you’re looking to add something extra to your Thanksgiving table, Ben recommends Marie Callender’s Yeast Rolls — you can’t go wrong with warm, buttery rolls! 🥖

Ingredients:
• 2 cups warm water (around 110°F/45°C)
• 1/2 cup white sugar, divided
• 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter/shortening)
• 5-6 cups all-purpose or bread flour

Instructions:
1 Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the warm water. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes creamy and foamy.
2 Mix Ingredients: Mix the remaining sugar, salt, and oil into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough is tacky but cleans the sides of the bowl.
3 Knead: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
4 Rise: Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it over to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
5 Shape into 2-3 in rolls and place on greased baking sheets
6 Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. An instant-read thermometer should register 195-200°F when inserted into the center.
7 Cool: Remove from pans immediately after baking and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Brushing the top with a little melted butter after removing from the oven is a common practice for a softer crust.

Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for shoulder pain, as a non-invasive approach to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility. Physical therapists evaluate the specific cause of the pain and create a personalized treatment plan. By addressing the underlying issues and encouraging proper movement patterns, physical therapy not only helps in relieving pain can also help prevent future injuries, restoring function and improving quality of life.
