Open enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace, also known as the Exchange, opens Nov. 15, 2014, and continues until Feb. 15, 2015. Employees are likely to hear about the Exchange open enrollment and may have questions.

If your company offers affordable, minimum value health coverage, employees may still choose to enroll in a plan through the Marketplace, but they will not be eligible for premium tax credits and other savings.

Contact Alpha for more information or for access to employee education materials and information on quoting and enrollment.

Skip the marshmallows this year. This five-ingredient sweet potato casserole is low in fat and rich in flavor, and makes for a perfect side to complement your Thanksgiving meal.

2 tbsp. low-fat milk

1½ tsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

¼ cup quick cooking oats, dry

1 can low-sodium sweet potatoes, drained and chopped

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a small bowl, combine milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and oatmeal. Mix well and set aside. In a medium-sized baking pan, add the sweet potatoes so they cover the bottom of the pan. Add the oatmeal mixture on top of the sweet potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot, or refrigerate and serve cold.
