Why Genoa is a Great Place to Live

Genoa Nevada is a quaint town located minutes from Lake Tahoe, Carson City and Reno. It is a magical place to live because there is a real community feeling. Everyone knows everyone else and pitches in with the town to make lots of great community events. From Saint Patrick's Day until Christmas there is always something going on.

The climate is very mild. We do get the full four seasons, but all are very manageable. Summer usually climbs up into the 90's with a dry heat and winters can get in the 30's. We do get snow, but it melts within hours if not a day or two. If anyone wants to see more snow or hit some great ski resorts Lake Tahoe is only 15 miles away.

The scenery is spectacular here. The Carson Valley has some of the best views imaginable. With the Sierra Mountain Range and the lush green pastures of the Valley any direction you look you will be impressed. There are two parks in Genoa- Mormon Station Park and the Genoa Park. Throughout the summer there are really fun concerts in the Genoa Park.
Genoa has two championship golf courses Genoa Lakes and Genoa Lakes Golf Resort. The courses are two miles apart and both offer beautiful club houses, tennis courts,restaurants, and custom & semi custom homes throughout. The Genoa Lakes Golf Resort has a newly opened recreation center with a beautiful full gym, tennis courts, swimming pool, locker rooms and a large conference/entertaining room that is available for all members to use.

Genoa really has something for everyone to enjoy. From ranches, custom homes on a couple acres, golf course homes, patio homes, historic properties and vacant land. It is a great place to raise a family or retire. We love living here and think you would also!

How to Make Gourmet Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I was looking for something to make to surprise my niece and nephew. I wanted something I can make easily and quickly, because they were going to be here shortly. They always look forward to what I make for them when they come to stay. I found a chocolate covered strawberries recipe. Most chocolate covered strawberries recipes I have tried out there are complicated and time consuming, but this one is quick and easy. If you don't believe me, you can try other gourmet chocolate covered strawberries recipes. This is your choice, but you can use paraffin or shortening. Personally I prefer shortening, but it's just me.

Ingredients:

* 16 ounces milk chocolate chips
* 2 tablespoons shortening
* 1 pound fresh strawberries with leaves.

Directions:

1. Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.
2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture.
3. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into Styrofoam for the chocolate to cool.

You can also drizzle white chocolate over the milk chocolate covered strawberries for a more beautiful look and feel. Of course, you can also make white chocolate covered strawberries, but its up to you on how you want to tweak the recipe. This recipe was so easy, I didn't have to use the oven; I just used the microwave. My niece Nicole, and nephew Nick loved it. My kids are with their Aunt for the weekend. We traded off once a month where my niece and nephew stay with me, and my kids stay with their Aunt, or my sister. You can try it for yourself. Of course if you are still not satisfied, you can watch the clip on how to make chocolate covered strawberries
