Style Magazine March 2021
I’ve always been a morning person. Something about the dawn of a new day—sitting in stillness while consuming a cup (OK, cups) of fresh-brewed coffee as the sun slowly rises—fills me with peace and positivity. But my favorite part of waking up has always been breakfast. Though some people are satisfied with a smoothie or skipping it altogether, I can’t imagine starting the day any other way. Whether it’s waffles piled high with peanut butter, a stack of syrup-drenched pancakes, overnight oats swirled with cinnamon, or a protein-packed burrito, I don’t discriminate—so long as it’s hot, hearty, and (mostly) healthy. This month’s feature, “Rise & Dine,” is a tribute to the morning meal. Turn to page 53 to read about over 30 of our favorite breakfast locales with recommendations on what to eat and drink at each. From sweet to savory, and the classics done right to more obscure offerings like Angel Food French Toast that’s as heavenly as it sounds, there’s something everyone will want to dig into. We also share the secret to making fluffy flapjacks and perfect scrambled eggs in “Ask a Chef,” and 7 breakfast in bed must-haves so you can create a memorable meal at home. And though I fully support sipping on a mimosa or Bloody Mary before noon, I’m also all about bending the rules—like enjoying a coffee-infused beer for breakfast. Check out Sip on This (page 88) for 5 recommendations that are really good...and really strong, including French Press, a dark, malty ale from Hillenbrand Farmhaus Brewery that’s made using Sacramento-based Chocolate Fish coffee. In other food news, have you hopped on the charcuterie, aka grazing board, bandwagon yet? They’re all over the Internet and have become particularly popular since the pandemic. These wondrous works of edible art are typically styled with an array of cheeses, cured meats, pickled veg, fresh or dried fruit, and other accoutrements; and are perfect for a picnic in the park, date night, or girls’ gathering. For 7 local companies crafting them, turn to “Say Cheese!” on page 78. Another reason to smile this month? Behind the Cellar Door—a wine-filled weekend in Amador County featuring tastings, food pairings, and educational opportunities—is back! Find more details on page 15. Just remember: Wine tasting on an empty stomach never ends well (trust me), so be sure to fuel up with a big breakfast beforehand. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

Los Rios colleges (American River College,<br />
Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake<br />
College, and Sacramento City College) are<br />
offering over 480 student scholarships worth<br />
$735,000, including the FLC <strong>Style</strong> Media<br />
Sharon & Digger Williams Scholarship.<br />
The deadline to apply is <strong>March</strong> 5. For more<br />

Folsom-based singersongwriter<br />
Danny<br />
Schneider is selling his<br />
new special edition,<br />
signed, nine-song<br />
album, On the Other<br />
Side of the Window,<br />
for a $100 donation to Joshua’s<br />
House Hospice—a nonprofit for the<br />
terminally ill homeless living in Sacramento<br />
that’s slated to open this spring. To order<br />
the album, visit dannyschneider.com.<br />
The Folsom Historic District<br />
Amphitheater has been renamed Zittel<br />
Family Amphitheater, in honor of the<br />
decades of service by Roger and Gail Zittel<br />
to the Folsom community. The family name<br />
is most recognizable from Zittel Farms,<br />
but Roger was also the first manager of the<br />
Folsom Chamber of Commerce and<br />
a founding member of the Folsom<br />
Athletic Association. His wife, Gail,<br />
served on the Planning Commission<br />
for seven years and assisted with the<br />
development of the city’s General Plan.<br />
Pathways Project—a partnership<br />
between the El Dorado Community<br />
Foundation, Upper Room Dining Hall,<br />
Housing El Dorado, Marshall Medical<br />
Center, and El Dorado County Sheriff ’s<br />
Office—provides winter housing for<br />
a cohort of 20 homeless individuals<br />
seven nights a week at Green Valley<br />
Community Church. To volunteer (help<br />
is needed in various capacities, including<br />
transporting clients, intake/screening,<br />
and overnight supervision) and for<br />
more info, visit housingeldorado.org.<br />
Kaiser Permanente Roseville completed<br />
a 6,000-square-foot expansion of their<br />
neonatal intensive care unit, which increases<br />
access to highly specialized care for<br />
newborns in a comforting environment. The<br />
updated space features seven new private<br />
rooms, two negative pressure isolation<br />
rooms, and a triple room with three<br />
bassinets for families with multiples, among<br />
other amenities. Last year, the medical<br />
center was recognized in Newsweek<br />
magazine’s “Best Maternity Hospitals 2020”<br />
report for providing exceptional care.<br />
Placerville Public House<br />
(placervillepublichouse.com) is relocating<br />
to the historic Hangman Saloon and<br />
Herrick Buildings at 301 and 305 Main<br />
Street in Placerville. The new, larger<br />
location will allow the restaurant to expand<br />
their current vision while offering more<br />
hospitable accommodations to customers.<br />

4 Wonder Women<br />
BY TARA MENDANHA<br />
<strong>March</strong> 8 marks International Women’s Day—a global day celebrating<br />
the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of<br />
females. Locally, we have some incredibly inspiring, hard-working<br />
women who wear multiple hats. Keep reading to learn how they<br />
overcame obstacles, achieved success, and are making the region<br />
where they reside a more positive place.<br />
Kimberly Marie Morphis<br />
Folsom, Realtor & Business Advocate<br />
Kimberly Morphis rose to small-town<br />
fame when she devised 95630 BINGO—<br />
an innovative game that benefited Twin<br />
Lakes Food Bank and 24 small businesses<br />
in Folsom. Patrons who made donations<br />
to the food bank received a bingo card<br />
that encouraged them to shop at local<br />
restaurants and retailers. Whoever checked<br />
off all 25 squares first would win $1,000. It<br />
was a novel ideal, intended to highlight the<br />
plight of struggling small businesses and<br />
rally a community together—a community<br />
that ultimately didn’t disappoint.<br />
In the end, money went to the food<br />
bank and businesses, but the cherry on<br />
top was when generous winner, Evangeline<br />
Scott, donated her entire earnings back to<br />
the community. It was a complete “winwin-win,”<br />
says Morphis, proud of the place<br />
she calls home.<br />
Folsom has been “home” to Morphis<br />
for 23 years. She grew up with a strong<br />
mother who taught her and her sister the<br />
importance of hard work, positive thinking,<br />
gratitude, and giving back. From babysitting<br />
to running a mobile bartending business,<br />
she’s come a long way, and credits her<br />
strong work ethic and family bonds for<br />
giving her the confidence to get through life.<br />
“While bartending one night, I told my first<br />
employer in commercial real estate that he<br />
was going to hire me, even though I had no<br />
clue [about the industry],” she says. Seven<br />
years later and she’s a successful realtor,<br />
championing the cause of small businesses.<br />
“Being responsive, knowledgeable of my<br />
markets, and having a very firm handshake<br />
have all helped get me to where I am today!”<br />
Q&A<br />
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?<br />
I’m the proud mother to an amazing son,<br />
Kamden James, and am motivated to show<br />
him that hard work, determination, and<br />
being of service will reward him with a<br />
fulfilling life.<br />
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL?<br />
To create a life for my son and myself where<br />
we can have a loving and structured home,<br />
be able to travel the world, learn something<br />
new each day, and give back to those in need.<br />
WHAT MANTRA/MOTTO DO YOU LIVE BY?<br />
Keep moving forward.<br />
Lexi Williams<br />
Shingle Springs, Owner of Theory Dance<br />
A professional dancer with a colorful<br />
career, Lexi Williams has performed with<br />
David Garibaldi and Zendaya, and been<br />
featured at the Festival United in the Czech<br />
Republic and at NFL halftime shows. The<br />
bubbly dancer now owns Theory Dance<br />
(theorydance.org) in Folsom and teaches<br />
hip hop to kids, in the hope that they—<br />
especially young girls—will build their<br />
confidence while learning some moves.<br />
“I’m proud of following my dream and<br />
showing these kids that anything they set<br />
their mind to can become a reality with<br />
hard work and consistency. Taking that<br />
first step is key!” she says.<br />
Always in step with her goals, Williams<br />
found herself in a tough place when the<br />
pandemic hit. Amidst preparing to teach<br />
at Russell Ranch Elementary School and<br />
planning her dream wedding, life came to a<br />
screeching halt. “I had a choice: I could wait<br />
and see what the world would do, and be<br />
sad that all my hard work went in the trash,<br />
or I could adapt to the current state of the<br />
world,” she says, choosing the latter and<br />
moving her whole dance program online<br />
in just two days. “Trying to bring joy to<br />
these kids who had everything taken away<br />
from them was my motivation.”<br />
Williams has made great strides since<br />
opening her studio in 2018. Today, she<br />
teaches 70 kids locally and even more on<br />
TikTok (her “Laffy Taffy” dance went viral last<br />
summer). Now, she’s working toward a big<br />
Covid-friendly video production. “I figured it<br />
gives the kids something to work toward.”<br />
Q&A<br />
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?<br />
I love seeing the dancers accomplish their<br />
goals and getting over their fears. I want to<br />
create a safe environment for kids and teens<br />
[where they can] support each other when<br />
they don't believe in themselves.<br />
WHAT MANTRA/MOTTO DO YOU LIVE BY?<br />
Just keep moving and stop stressing over the<br />

Failing is part of the journey and making<br />
decisions is very difficult. But moving<br />
forward, regardless of the result, is always<br />
better than playing it safe. Also, having a<br />

Cristina Mendonsa<br />
Folsom, Host of KFBK Morning News &<br />
Owner of Mendonsa Media<br />
Emmy and Edward R. Murrow awardwinning<br />
journalist and local celebrity,<br />
Cristina Mendonsa, has many feathers<br />
in her cap. Not only is she a veteran<br />
television and radio journalist, and<br />
host of KFBK Morning News (kfbk.<br />
iheart.com/featured/the-morning-news),<br />
but she’s also a female and minority<br />
business owner of Mendonsa Media<br />
(cristinamendonsa.com).<br />
The talented storyteller has contributed<br />
to the world of journalism for the past 25<br />
years and has garnered a reputation for<br />
being as direct as she is warm. Illustrious<br />
professional career aside, she’s also been<br />
an advocate for community initiatives<br />
on mental health, cancer research, and<br />
veteran services, thereby significantly<br />
impacting the community.<br />
Always the goal-getter, she’s ticked<br />
them all off one by one. “When I started<br />
my broadcast career, my goal was to be<br />
a top 20 market anchor and I’ve spent<br />
three decades doing that. My next goal<br />
was to finish my master’s degree and I did<br />
that,” she says nonchalantly. As effortless<br />
as she makes it sound, it wasn’t always<br />
smooth sailing. “It took me a long time<br />
to get through college because I was<br />
paying my own way, which also built my<br />
determination. I started a business in<br />
college to help pay tuition and learned<br />
a lot,” she shares, not discounting the<br />
support of family. “I had really good parents<br />
who encouraged me a lot. Not only did<br />
they celebrate my wins but they helped me<br />
understand my disappointments and put<br />
them into perspective.”<br />
Q&A<br />
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?<br />
I’ve always been a storyteller but<br />
more recently, I found what I really<br />
am is a connector. I get a charge out<br />
of connecting people to stories or<br />
customers to brands.<br />
WHAT MANTRA/MOTTO DO YOU LIVE BY?<br />
The United States Marine Corps slogan:<br />
improvise, adapt, and overcome.<br />
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ON YOUR<br />
JOURNEY SO FAR?<br />
The days are long, but the years are<br />
short; don’t dress rehearse tragedy; there<br />
is always time, energy, and space for a<br />
transformation; you’re not working for a<br />
boss but for an older version of yourself.<br />
Tara Taylor<br />
Roseville, Founder & Executive Director at<br />
Single Mom Strong<br />
Getting divorced at a young age lit a fire<br />
in Tara Taylor. “I vowed to ensure that my<br />
daughter had the same opportunities as a<br />
child from a two-parent home,” she says.<br />
Taylor started her first company at age 29<br />
to support her family and says, “while I<br />
was able to achieve professional success<br />
and raise a child who blossomed into<br />
a pretty incredible individual, it wasn't<br />
without its challenges, and I made note<br />
of those challenges along the way.”<br />
Enter Single Mom Strong<br />
(singlemomstrong.org), a nonprofit<br />
Taylor started after her daughter left for<br />
college with the mission to empower<br />
single mothers and their children<br />
through enrichment, encouragement,<br />
and educational programs. Taylor<br />
insists that this at-risk population needs<br />
more done for them. “Despite mothers’<br />
best efforts, statistics show that these<br />
children suffer in a variety of ways from<br />
educational deficiencies to having lower<br />
occupational status and income as<br />
adults. Single mothers are also plagued<br />
by feelings of guilt and inadequacy and<br />
are often living in poverty,” she says,<br />
stating that a single mother can be a<br />
professional success and a great parent,<br />
and not be limited by circumstances. To<br />
date, the organization has served over<br />
800 local single mothers and children,<br />
and Taylor’s been the recipient of many<br />
local awards and accolades, including<br />
special congressional recognition and<br />
community service awards.<br />
Now, she wants to duplicate her efforts<br />
in other cities. “Being a single parent is<br />
difficult and lonely but having others in<br />
similar situations to share concerns and<br />
celebrate wins with is powerful.”<br />
Q&A<br />
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?<br />
Each time I see a woman recognize her<br />
own strength or watch a child learn,<br />
grow, or feel part of a larger community,<br />
I’m inspired. Also, the opportunity to<br />
bring dignity and respect to our cause,<br />
and make my daughter proud, ensuring<br />
she sees our story being told in a way<br />
that benefits others.<br />
WHAT MANTRA/MOTTO DO YOU LIVE<br />
BY?<br />
Believe and achieve. We’re all capable of<br />
anything we put our minds to. Also, fear<br />
and worry give life to the outcome you<br />
don’t want.<br />
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ON YOUR<br />
JOURNEY SO FAR?<br />
Risk is required. Always playing it safe<br />
allows no room for growth. [I’ve also<br />
learned to be] a notorious "asker!” The<br />
worst that can happen when you ask is a<br />
negative response but the best that can<br />
happen is limitless.<br />

4 Plein Air Painters<br />
by EMILY PETER-COREY<br />
Plein air painting encourages artists to step into nature and utilize the<br />
beauty they observe amongst the landscape’s ever-changing light.<br />
The technique has been around for centuries but was made famous by<br />
French impressionists and the invention of transportable paint tubes and<br />
box easels. Those innovations, along with the desire to paint changing light,<br />
allowed people to paint en plein air, the French expression for “in the open<br />
air.” Here, we introduce you to four of our region’s finest plein air painters.<br />
Victoria Brooks<br />
Loomis, vbrooks.com<br />
What attracts you to plein air<br />
painting? It’s a way to connect<br />
directly with nature. When<br />
I’m inspired to paint a scene,<br />
I try to capture the emotional<br />
aspects I’m feeling and share<br />
those with the viewer. The<br />
challenge of “chasing the light”<br />
is exhilarating; you usually<br />
only have about two hours<br />
before your light has changed.<br />
How did you develop your<br />
artistic skills? Growing up in Portland,<br />
Oregon, there were many rainy days. My<br />
parents bought art supplies to keep [my<br />
siblings and me] busy, and I always loved to<br />
draw and paint. I went to college in Portland,<br />
received my degree in graphic design,<br />
and then had a 14-year career as a graphic<br />
designer and art director in television.<br />
I went back to school at the California<br />
Art Institute in Los Angeles and studied<br />
painting for an additional four years and<br />
have been painting full-time ever since.<br />
What is your most notable achievement?<br />
In 2005, I won first place in a show called<br />
“Plein Air Painting in Sherwood Forest”<br />
in Chico. I’ve also achieved signature<br />
status in the American Impressionist<br />
Society (AIS) and the National Oil and<br />
Acrylic Painter of America (NOAPS).<br />
Mendocino Cove<br />
Faynette Island<br />
What advice<br />
do you have for<br />
someone just<br />
starting out? Draw and paint as much<br />
as possible and take workshops from<br />
artists you admire. I learned discipline<br />
as a graphic designer, which I apply now.<br />
I never ask myself if I’m “in the mood<br />
to paint”; it’s my job, so I just do it.<br />
Where is your favorite spot to paint?<br />
Auburn at the confluence, all of Gold<br />
Country, Lake Tahoe, Hope Valley, wine<br />
country, and the Monterey Peninsula.<br />
Where can your art be found? By<br />
appointment at my Loomis studio;<br />
the Patris Studio and Art Gallery in<br />
Sacramento; Fairweather House &<br />
Gallery in Seaside, Oregon; and Wild<br />
Moon Gallery in Tillamook, Oregon.<br />
Alpenglow<br />
Barbara<br />
Noble<br />
Roseville,<br />
banoble.com<br />
What attracts<br />
you to plein<br />
air painting? I was attracted to plein<br />
air painting while living in Irvine and<br />
taking a community college course<br />
with artist Jeff Horn. Also Drawing<br />
on the Right Side of the Brain had<br />
become my favorite book and I wanted<br />
to practice the medium as much as<br />
possible. I developed a sketchbook<br />
habit and then was introduced to<br />
Urban Sketchers. Plein air drawing<br />
and painting really clears and focuses<br />
your mind and makes you more<br />
sensitive to your surroundings.<br />
How did you develop your artistic<br />
skills? For many years I painted<br />
outdoors in oil, but the equipment<br />
became too heavy for me. Now I go out<br />
with a light sketchbook, micron pen,<br />
watercolor set, camera, and folding<br />
chair. I relax and enjoy the scene and<br />
complete oil paintings in my studio<br />
from my sketches and photos.<br />
What is your most notable<br />
achievement? Nine months of the<br />
year, I sketch once a month with the<br />
Yolo Art & Ag Project, which schedules<br />
artist visits at private ranches in Yolo<br />
County. At their annual Harvest Festival,<br />
I won the Farmers Pick Award as well<br />
as numerous top 10 recognitions.<br />
What advice do you have for someone<br />
just starting out? Develop a sketchbook<br />
habit and watch your skills grow!<br />
Where is your favorite spot to paint?<br />
I love to sketch the Napa Valley and<br />
while on European vacations.<br />

What attracts you to<br />
plein air painting?<br />
My love of the great outdoors, specifically our<br />
fantastic National Parks and breathtaking Western<br />
landscape. I’ve always enjoyed travelling and<br />
hiking, and plein air painting gives me an outlet<br />
during my travels to record the beauty I’ve seen<br />
through my own eyes and painting ability.<br />
How did you develop your artistic skills? From<br />
a lot of hard work and perseverance, including<br />
practice and study with numerous master artists.<br />
What is your most notable achievement? Having<br />
an article written about my plein air paintings using<br />
a palette knife in Plein Air magazine in 2013 and<br />
being selected to show my plein air paintings in<br />
numerous prestigious galleries, art museums, and<br />
other special venues throughout the U.S., such as the<br />
Kolb Studio on the South rim of the Grand Canyon.<br />
What advice do you have for someone just starting<br />
out? Study, study, study and remember that artistic<br />
endeavors aren’t necessarily achieved by God-given<br />
talent but by hard work, perseverance, and your<br />
own desire to record a tiny bit of human history!<br />
Where is your favorite spot to paint? The<br />
Sierra Nevada Mountains south of Lake Tahoe<br />
and the California coast above Big Sur.<br />
Where can your art be found? My art<br />
is currently being shown exclusively at<br />
the New Masters Gallery in Carmel.<br />

What attracts you to plein<br />
air painting? Painting<br />
outside helps train my eyes<br />
to observe the effect of<br />
sunlight on a landscape. As I<br />
Barbie Smith<br />
Orangevale,<br />
barbiesmithstudio.com<br />
observe the scene and quickly work to mix the colors as they<br />
appear, the result is a harmonious painting. Because the light<br />
changes quickly, I’m forced to stay focused, work quickly, and<br />
trust my instincts. Being surrounded by nature also allows me<br />
to experience a scene with all my senses. I especially enjoy<br />
locations that are quiet and peaceful—except for the sound<br />
of birds singing or leaves rustling. Mornings are my favorite<br />
time because the day is fresh and new; evenings are also<br />
nice because the sun casts a beautiful warm glow over the<br />
landscape; even gray days can produce a beautiful scene where<br />
colors appear more saturated in the [dreary] atmosphere.<br />
How did you develop your artistic skills? Through instruction,<br />
consistent practice, and a desire to grow as an artist. I’ve studied<br />
under a number of professional artists, taken advantage<br />
of many videos and blogs available, and have a growing<br />
collection of books that teach and inspire. These resources—<br />
along with the practice of daily<br />
painting—have helped me to<br />
increase my abilities as an artist.<br />
What is your most notable<br />
achievement? Several years<br />
ago, I applied to participate in a<br />
[prestigious] Los Gatos plein air<br />
event and was honored to be<br />
included alongside nationally<br />
known artists from all over the<br />
U.S. It was both challenging and<br />
rewarding, but I’m glad that I<br />
didn’t let fear hold me back.<br />
What advice do you have for<br />
someone just starting out? Find<br />
a group of painters who organize<br />
regular paint outs in your area.<br />
Beyond the Rocks<br />
Plan ahead and have your gear<br />
loaded the night before so you’re<br />
not scrambling for materials at the last<br />
minute and wasting precious morning<br />
light. Don’t pressure yourself to produce<br />
a finished work of art; you can use your<br />
study back in the studio to develop another<br />
painting at a later time. Also, the glaring light makes<br />
it difficult to judge color correctly, so I find it helpful<br />
to use an umbrella or stand in a shaded area.<br />
Rainbow Bridge Reflections<br />
Rock Formations Lake Natoma<br />
Where is your favorite spot to paint?<br />
Some of my favorite local areas to<br />
paint are the rocks underneath the<br />
Rainbow Bridge, along the American<br />
River, or even my own backyard!<br />
Where can your art be found?<br />
My work is shown locally at the<br />
Gold Country Artists Gallery and<br />
Auburn Old Town Gallery.<br />

Be Kind to<br />
Your Mind<br />
DIY Mental Health Checkup<br />
BY MEGAN WISKUS<br />
Though we often keep tabs on our physical wellbeing,<br />
our mental health tends to take a backseat.<br />
Instead of waking up worrying about your weight<br />
or wondering how to fit in your daily workout, take<br />
a moment to ask yourself the self-care questions<br />
that follow. The answers may just bring you one step<br />
closer to achieving mental clarity and contentedness.<br />
What am I feeling in my body<br />
right now?<br />
Often, before we can verbalize what<br />
we’re feeling, our body beats us to the<br />
punch by reacting physically to our<br />
emotions. You might notice that your<br />
jaw is more clenched or you have a pit<br />
in your stomach when you're feeling<br />
anxious. Perhaps you feel tightness<br />
in your chest or heaviness in your<br />
shoulders when you're feeling sad.<br />
Breathe and lean into the feeling in<br />
your body for a few moments to see<br />
if you can identify what is happening<br />
emotionally.—Yasmine Binghalib, LMFT,<br />
therapywithyasmine.com<br />
What three things went well<br />
today?<br />
So many times, we have a long list of<br />
things to do in a day, which are often<br />
unrealistic. At the end of the day, it’s<br />
easy to get frustrated with yourself<br />
or anxious about getting to them the<br />
next day. Another reason we often<br />
look back at the end of our day with<br />
discouragement is if we received bad<br />

therapywithyasmine.com<br />
What self-care activity will I<br />
schedule in my day today?<br />
We often start our day jumping out of<br />
bed to the alarm, grabbing coffee, and<br />
checking emails. We forget to center<br />
ourselves and become mindful of<br />
planning our day versus letting it control<br />
us. Try to start with just a few minutes<br />
of contemplation before email, social<br />
media, or the news. Ask yourself where<br />
in your day you can fit in a 10-minute<br />
meditation, a walk outside, a phone<br />
call to a friend, or planning something<br />
to look forward to over the weekend.<br />
If you're spiritual, start the morning<br />
with a centering prayer. Watch your<br />
mood lift.— Nancy Ryan, MA, LMFT,<br />
therelationshiptherapycenter.com<br />
news: Your child is failing a class; the<br />
car repair is twice as much as expected.<br />
Rather than ending your day with "all<br />
that's wrong," make it a habit to focus<br />
on what went right. If you can list three<br />
things, your mood will shift to be more<br />
positive.— Nancy Ryan, MA, LMFT,<br />
therelationshiptherapycenter.com<br />
What impact does social media<br />
have on my life?<br />
As more people watch The Social<br />
Dilemma it becomes apparent how<br />
social media controls our thoughts<br />
and sucks up time that could be better<br />
spent engaging in self-care activities<br />
and strengthening relationships. Do the<br />
math. Look at your daily time spent on<br />
social media and multiply it by 365 to see<br />
how much time every year you give to<br />
technology. Now, imagine replacing that<br />
time with a hobby you’re passionate about<br />
and think how much you’d improve at<br />
it by the year’s end.—Christopher Taylor,<br />
MFT, christaylormft.com<br />
How am I taking care of my mind?<br />
Check in on the "landscape upstairs."<br />
Are you tuning out? Overly glued to the<br />
news, social media, or something else?<br />
Regular investment in mindful practices<br />
like meditation can help keep an eye on<br />
mental burnout and distraction. Taking<br />
up some "growth" practices—reading<br />
about new things, enrolling in an online<br />
class, or learning a language, art form, or<br />
musical instrument—can make fruitful<br />
use of tough times.—Greg Sazima, MD,<br />
gregsazimamd.com<br />
Do I really need to say "yes"<br />
to this?<br />
We often have many things in our lives<br />
that we have to do, and because of this we<br />
often lump everything into the "necessary"<br />
pile without assessing it first. Before you<br />
say "yes" on autopilot to a commitment<br />
or action, check in with yourself and<br />
determine if it's necessary. If it's not, ask<br />
yourself: “Do I want to say yes?” Learning<br />
to protect your time and boundaries<br />
Am I actively engaging<br />
negative thoughts and what<br />
emotions are those creating?<br />
Cognitive behavioral therapy is the<br />
gold standard in treating almost every<br />
psychological ailment, no matter how<br />
big or small. The first step is awareness<br />
of what your actual thoughts are and<br />
how they feed negative emotions. Once<br />
awareness is gained then you can create<br />
replacement thoughts, which, over time,<br />
will create more automatic positive<br />
thought patterns.— Christopher Taylor,<br />
MFT, christaylormft.com<br />
How am I taking care of my<br />
connections to the world?<br />
We often overlook—especially in times<br />
like a pandemic—the care and feeding<br />
of our connections to the world and<br />
relationships outside of us: family,<br />
friends, community, and beyond. Tuning<br />
regularly into whether you’re staying<br />
connected, even if virtually, will help<br />
you overcome loneliness, isolation, and<br />
helplessness. Especially potent is finding<br />
some ways to be of compassionate help:<br />
make phone calls to those in need,<br />
send letters to relatives, and Zoom into<br />
volunteer groups and meetings.—Greg<br />

WHY WE LOVE IT: Getting a dose of nature, a splash<br />

to connect to the great outdoors and California’s<br />

GOING FOR GOLD<br />
The greatest mass<br />
movement in the Western<br />
Hemisphere took root<br />
right here. Bringing over<br />
300,000 people into<br />
California, the discovery of<br />
gold stimulated massive<br />
growth and spurred the<br />
development of ports,<br />
roads, and churches.<br />
Indigenous peoples<br />
in the area suffered<br />
greatly, however, from<br />
displacement, famine,<br />
and what later became<br />
known as the California<br />
genocide when authorities<br />
encouraged attacks on<br />
native peoples. At Empire<br />
Mine State Historic Park,<br />
there’s an opportunity to<br />
step back into the past<br />
and imagine life in the<br />
Gold Rush at what was<br />
once the most profitable<br />
gold mine in the state.<br />

Neuromuscular dentistry and offers a wide<br />
variety of dental services including implants, same<br />
day crowns, Veneers, full face orthodontics, clear<br />
orthodontic trays, sleep apnea appliances, and so much more.<br />
Dr Mahal is a fellow at the prestigious LVI Institute for<br />
Neuromuscular dentistry which is an area that focuses on not<br />
only the teeth, but on the nerves, muscles and joints as they<br />
relate to the jaw. Neuromuscular dentistry concentrates on<br />
the achievement of an optimal bite and jaw alignment, which<br />
can help alleviate facial and neck pain, headaches, migraines<br />
and TMJ pain. Dr. Mahal utilizes all the latest technology<br />
like Electromyography, EMG, a technique for evaluating<br />
and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal<br />
muscles as well as the TENS unit, drug free alternative to<br />
managing pain. Myofunctional Therapy and appliances<br />
like AGGA, Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance and full<br />
face orthodontics is one of the latest procedures Dr. Mahal<br />
is current on to provide the best care for her patients. First<br />
phase is Agga, which activates growth centers in the body to<br />
stimulate bone remodeling in the entire mid-face region. 2nd<br />
phase is orthodontics, where teeth can be straightened without<br />
extracting any teeth or surgery. This not only improves facial<br />
profile but also improves airway and TMJ problems. Working<br />
with the Facial Beauty Institute, you can enhance your face to<br />
your full genetic potential.<br />

Q: HOW DOES GUT HEALTH AFFECT<br />
OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY?<br />
A: Approximately 80% of your immune<br />
system is located in your gut, so if your gut<br />
bacteria are properly balanced then your<br />
immune system will most likely function<br />
properly and help ward off illnesses. The<br />
gut is often referred to as “the second<br />
brain,” because it’s where the production<br />
of neurotransmitters, like serotonin—<br />
chemicals responsible for regulating sleep,<br />
appetite, and mood—are located. There’s<br />
a growing amount of research suggesting<br />
your gut bacteria actually influences food<br />
cravings, metabolism, and how many<br />
calories your body absorbs from the food<br />
you eat. So what foods should you eat?<br />
Plant fibers and complex carbohydrates<br />
are a good place to start. These are the<br />
preferred sources of fuel the bacteria<br />
in your gut like to munch on, and they<br />
help prevent inflammation and gut wall<br />
damage. Eating a variety of produce and<br />
unprocessed or minimally processed foods<br />
creates a good environment for gut health.<br />

The New Norm<br />
8 Hot Home Trends<br />
by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID, NKBA, CAPS<br />
We’ve all been there—interrupted Zoom meetings,<br />
daydreaming of our next home renovation, and<br />
shamelessly posting our latest culinary creation. Last<br />
year changed the way we live in and outside our homes.<br />
As we rethink our home's functionality, features we<br />
never knew we needed—such as a home gym or notouch<br />
appliances—are becoming more important than<br />
ever. The trends that follow won’t only add comfort but<br />
extra value to your home, too.<br />
1<br />
ZOOM ROOMS<br />
As people continue to receive<br />
more clarity from their employers<br />
about the ability to telecommute<br />
long-term, it’s triggering a move to<br />
homes with more space. And, as<br />
people tire of working from a kitchen<br />
table, they want a more permanent—<br />
and quiet—solution for their at-home<br />
office.<br />
2<br />
HOMECATION AMENITIES<br />
With lots of time and nowhere<br />
to go, homeowners are coming up<br />
with creative solutions to create<br />
vacation vibes at home. While pools<br />
are top of discussion, homeowners<br />
are also seeking big and small ways<br />
to create a luxury experience from<br />
the comfort of their crib, including<br />
upgrading bathroom furnishings<br />
to include spa-like soaking tubs or<br />
relaxing rain showers.<br />

SMART & SAFE TECH<br />
It’s more vital than ever that our homes<br />
stay as germ-free as possible, and smart-home<br />
technology has come to save the day, with<br />
products like touchless appliances, selfcleaning<br />
toilets, and bidets. And while a lot<br />
of these products are niche right now, they<br />
will evolve to become the standard in home<br />
design. As homeowners can start welcoming<br />
guests back inside, they’ll increasingly<br />
seek out creative solutions to keep their<br />
spaces as sanitary as possible by including<br />
voice-activated faucets, robotic vacuums,<br />
and electronic-assistant controlled lights.<br />
These features update the traditional tasks<br />
of cooking and cleaning by incorporating<br />
thoughtful innovation into home products.<br />
6<br />
HEALTH & WELLNESS<br />
People across the country quickly<br />
adapted to rapidly changing restrictions,<br />
creating fitness clubs and even massage<br />
rooms in their homes. But it’s not just<br />
physical health homeowners are prioritizing.<br />
The isolation from social activities and loved<br />
ones has increased the need for more—<br />
think “feng shui” areas—private spaces for<br />
reflection and meditation to stay mentally<br />
fit, as well.<br />
Gourmet Kitchens and Health & Wellness photos by Lindsey King Photography.<br />
3<br />
GOURMET KITCHENS<br />
The pandemic inspired people to break out of their old<br />
baking habits and start new hobbies in the kitchen, and in <strong>2021</strong>,<br />
homeowners want to level-up from their sourdough obsession to<br />
create other mouthwatering masterpieces. Requests for gourmet<br />
kitchens with bigger cabinets, island additions, and "dirty"<br />
pantries that house functional items all offer the space needed to<br />
cook gourmet meals.<br />
4<br />
Gourmet Kitchens<br />
BACKYARD OASIS<br />
Safe and functional yards have taken on renewed importance,<br />
especially with social distancing recommendations. Fire pits,<br />
outdoor kitchens, and alfresco lighting are all easy upgrades that<br />
make backyards a relaxing oasis the whole family can enjoy.<br />
7<br />
PET-FRIENDLY LIVING<br />
The flexibility of remote work has given<br />
many people the opportunity to be home<br />
all day, and in turn, made it easier to add a<br />
new best friend to their family. As people<br />
welcome more furry family members,<br />
there will be a continued demand for<br />
performance fabrics, indoor-outdoor rugs,<br />
and alfresco lounge areas.<br />
8<br />
NEW CONSTRUCTION<br />
Traffic for new construction homes has<br />
increased significantly, signaling an uptick<br />
of shoppers interested in personalizing<br />
their home’s features and living in a<br />
new, clean space. Buyers considering a<br />
newly constructed home are doing so<br />
to customize features, while others are<br />
choosing to do so to ensure everything in<br />
the home is brand new.<br />

Pancakes at Mexquite<br />
Mexquite offers both American and<br />
south-of-the-border creations,<br />
and their version of eggs<br />
benedict, Molletes, is<br />
a satisfying option<br />
for those who can’t<br />
choose. Sourdough<br />
toast is topped with<br />
refried beans, cheese,<br />
over-medium eggs,<br />
pico de gallo, green<br />
onions, queso fresco, and<br />
Molletes<br />
sour cream. But if you’re in<br />
need of something simple, nothing<br />
screams breakfast like Pancakes. Go full stack<br />
with three (or short with two); whichever you<br />
choose, they’re served with fruit and sweet<br />
maple syrup. Accompany your meal with a<br />
Mimosa and you’ll be satisfied till supper.<br />

3 0+ Best Breakfasts<br />
BY EMILY PETER-COREY, TARA MENDANHA, & MEGAN WISKUS<br />
Breakfast may be the most important—and<br />
dare we say delicious—meal of the day. But<br />
it’s also one of the most social. Something<br />
about sitting around a table savoring fluffy<br />
flapjacks smothered in syrup with your<br />
nearest and dearest makes for a memorable<br />
morning. Next time you find yourself awake<br />
and hungry for something off the beaten<br />
breakfast path, turn to this list for our top<br />
picks of where to go and what to order.<br />
Milestone in El<br />
Dorado Hills knows<br />
their stuff. They deliver<br />
creative offerings and<br />
exceptional quality.<br />
Everything is made inhouse,<br />
too, particularly<br />
their silky, delicate<br />
lemon hollandaise<br />
that brightens up their<br />
Classic Benedict. If you’re<br />
looking for something<br />
less traditional, we<br />
suggest exploring the<br />
Chorizo Rice (spicy<br />
chorizo, Spanish rice,<br />
scrambled eggs, Cubano<br />
sauce, and pico de gallo)<br />
and seasonal Pozole<br />
(spiced pork broth,<br />
braised pork shoulder,<br />
hominy, and fixings).<br />
Whatever you do, don’t<br />

or bacon and spinach) to the not-so-common<br />
Tofu Scramble and Chile Relleno Casserole<br />
(an egg soufflé with cheese, green chiles, and<br />
mild salsa), the options are endless. If you’re all<br />
egged out, try their Cheese Blintz (crêpes filled<br />
with cottage and ricotta cheese, served with<br />
sour cream, blueberries, and olallieberries)<br />
or Health Nut Pancakes (buttermilk batter<br />

fries topped with scrambled eggs, ham,<br />
bacon, Polish sausage, country sausage,<br />
onions, bell peppers, and cheddar and<br />
jack cheeses…yeah, you’ll need a napkin or<br />
two. Or try their Swedish Crêpes topped<br />
with lingonberry sauce, fresh blueberries,<br />
and a dusting of powdered sugar. Just<br />
don't forget your Mimosa! Try mango,<br />
passionfruit or even pomegranate. 6835<br />

Remember the days when we travelled abroad<br />
and marveled at how beautiful breakfasts<br />
around the world were? Us too. Thankfully, at<br />
Pho Mimi, you can get a taste of Vietnam<br />
close to home. From Mimi’s Signature Breakfast<br />
(beef, eggs, sausages, meatballs, pâté, and<br />
cilantro) to a bowl of steaming Pho (the<br />
Southeast Asian nation's preferred breakfast),<br />
there’s something for all adventurous eaters—<br />
just don’t forget to order the sweet and super<br />
strong Vietnamese Ice Condensed Milk Coffee.<br />

Diners, such as Train Station Coffee<br />
Shop, are perfect when you’re hungry for<br />
nostalgia with a side of warm, welcoming<br />
service. This Cameron Park mainstay is<br />
known for many things, but sweet cravings<br />
are certain to be satisfied after indulging<br />
in the Blueberry Cream Cheese French<br />
Toast. For something on the savory side, try<br />
the Southern Scramble (two biscuits, two<br />
sausage patties, and scrambled eggs with<br />
gravy—all served up in a skillet). Wear your<br />
stretchiest pants and start your day on the<br />
right track! 4274 Mother Lode Drive, Shingle<br />

Coffee Republic is a community staple that<br />
offers an assortment of breakfast foods, which—<br />
luckily for late risers—is served all day long.<br />
We recommend the Bistro Breakfast BLT with<br />
eggs, dill Havarti cheese, avocado, and housemade<br />
bistro sauce (in addition to the namesake<br />
ingredients) all on toasted sourdough.<br />
For those meatless munchers, we suggest<br />
the Veggie Burrito: eggs, avocado, tomatoes,<br />
potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, hummus,<br />
and salsa all wrapped cozily in a tortilla.<br />
Don’t forget to pair your sustenance with a<br />
specialty coffee or tea; the Honey Bee Latte will<br />
have you buzzing all day long. 6610 Folsom-<br />

Bennett's Kitchen Bar Market photos by Dante Fontana. Iron Horse Taven photos courtesy of Iron Horse Tavern.<br />
Corned Beef Hash, Stuffed French Toast,<br />
and Ramos Fizz<br />
Bennett’s Kitchen Bar Market<br />
has certainly made a name for itself in its<br />
relatively short time in business and for<br />
good reason: their brunch menu is a popular<br />
weekend treat. We suggest Corned Beef<br />
Hash—house-braised corned beef, smashed<br />
potatoes, red bell peppers, and onions with<br />
poached eggs. If you have a morning sweet<br />
tooth, go for the Stuffed French Toast—filled<br />
with decadent orange marmalade and<br />
cream cheese. Either option pairs well with<br />
their Ramos Fizz: a hand-shaken gin cocktail<br />
with egg whites and sweetened cream.<br />
Prepare for a full (and happy) stomach.<br />

Escape to Mario’s Early Toast and<br />
pretend you’re waking up surf-side with<br />
an order of their Maui French Toast. Thick<br />
slices of bread are dipped in a vanilla creamcinnamon<br />
egg batter then griddled to<br />
golden perfection and topped with bananas,<br />
coconut, and macadamia nuts before being<br />
bathed in warm, sticky caramel syrup. For<br />
those hungry for something healthier, the<br />
Crossfit Skillet promises to please without<br />
weighing you down (pun intended). Wash it<br />
all down with one of their myriad mimosas—<br />
our favorite is the Gummy Worm featuring<br />
mango purée and fruit punch. 8425 Sierra<br />

A new and welcome addition to Folsom is<br />
Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters. The<br />
beloved Sacramento-based café serves up a<br />
variety of espresso drinks (we recommend<br />
the White Mocha, though the hard-tofind<br />
Flat White is tasty too), fresh-roasted<br />
coffee beans, tea, and specialty toasts. The<br />
Almond Butter Toast (ask for it with “The<br />
Works”) features sourdough toast loaded<br />
with almond butter, cocoa nibs, bananas,<br />
and honey; and the Smashed Avo Toast (also<br />
with “The Works”) comes with avocado,<br />
lemon, radish, sprouts and nut dukkah on<br />
sourdough. They almost look too pretty to<br />
eat…almost. 25055 Blue Ravine Road, Folsom,<br />

Can’t decide between land or ocean for<br />
breakfast? Land Ocean has you covered<br />
with their weekend brunch. Go for the<br />
Country Fried Steak and Eggs, served<br />
with sausage gravy and a side of country<br />
potatoes, or the Crab Cake Benedict (crab<br />
cakes topped with poached eggs, mango<br />
hollandaise, and sweet pepper relish; served<br />
with country potatoes). But first, start off<br />
with Bottomless Mimosas…someone’s<br />

Before you even ask, no, you can’t have just<br />
mimosas for breakfast, but the extensive menu<br />
at Friends with Benedicts Mimosa<br />
House offers plenty of options. Spice things<br />
up with their You’re the “Juan” Skillet, which tops<br />
country potatoes with three eggs scrambled<br />
alongside chorizo, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes,<br />
pepper jack cheese, sour cream, and a side of<br />
crispy chips and salsa roja. If you think puns are<br />
fun, order The Folsom “Dam” It’s Big Benedict:<br />
a toasted English muffin topped with bacon,<br />
sausage, ham, jack and cheddar cheeses, two<br />
poached eggs, and house-made hollandaise.<br />
And with a name like that, you’re bound to<br />
order a Blushing Mimosa: a blend of orange<br />

House-made syrups and chai, smooth espresso,<br />
and ethically sourced coffee are just a sampling<br />
of the reasons Totem Coffee is a beloved<br />
breakfast pick. Locals love the Lavender Latte<br />
and Vegan Donuts (flavors change daily), but the<br />
Tofu Bahn Mi Bagel (loaded with sriracha cream<br />
cheese, smoky marinated tofu, pickled onions<br />
and carrots, sprouts, and cilantro) is equally<br />
enticing, as are the Granola Cups (organic<br />
vanilla yogurt and fresh organic berries) and<br />
fresh-baked, gluten-free Pastries. Grab a seat on<br />
their gorgeous patio and while the day away. 312<br />

Head to Goose Port Public House<br />
on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m.-2<br />

favorites like Chilaquiles Rojo. Heat up with<br />
this traditional Mexican breakfast of tortilla<br />
chips simmered in red sauce with shredded<br />
chicken, cheddar and jack cheeses, two eggs,<br />
cotija cheese, and serrano chiles. Perhaps<br />
the Boston-<strong>Style</strong> Bacon & Egg Sandwich<br />
is more your style where two eggs, crispy<br />
bacon, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and<br />
mayo are perfectly “sandwiched” between<br />
sourdough toasts. With a cocktail in hand (try<br />
Phil’s Greyhound), your weekend is bound<br />
to be wonderful. 316<br />

Fresh OJ<br />
The Sunny Tart<br />
Karen’s Bakery & Café has served our<br />
area for over 20 years with high-quality,<br />
hearty meals like the KBC Breakfast<br />

tomatoes, arugula, and browned-butter<br />

top our list as a favorite breakfast sammy.<br />
Another great option is The Sunny Tart: a<br />
puff pastry with Gruyere cheese and crème<br />

fresh chives. Both dishes are served with<br />
fresh fruit and pair perfectly with a glass<br />
of Fresh OJ. 705 Gold Lake Drive, Folsom,<br />

Don’t waffle on The Waffle Experience.<br />
They’ve got palate-pleasing options for<br />
all, like Praise the Lard—a lardon-studded<br />
herb waffle with house-braised pork belly,<br />
a fried egg, arugula, roasted tomatoes,<br />
ricotta, and cracked pepper agave syrup.<br />
And for dessert (or your main course, we<br />
won’t tell) try Smor’Tella, which tops a cacao<br />
liege waffle with Nutella, bananas, toasted<br />
marshmallows, graham cracker crumble,<br />
Nutella rum sauce, bananas foster sauce, plus<br />
a sprinkle of powdered sugar. If that’s not<br />
enough for you, opt for their Bloody Mary<br />

other things) to your cocktail. 13405 Folsom<br />

If you’re looking for a classic breakfast, Gold Miner Café will<br />
hit the spot! On the sweet side, we recommend the Cesar’s: a warm<br />
homemade cinnamon roll with raisins, walnuts, frosting, and butter.<br />
If you’re looking for something savory, try J&J’s Taco Omelet: spicy<br />
ground beef, tomatoes, onions, olives, jack and cheddar cheeses,<br />
salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and tortilla strips. You’ll hit a gold mine<br />
with either option, especially when paired with a Hibiscus (cranberry<br />

Ask a Chef<br />
How can I take advantage of leftover bacon fat?<br />
Keep a ceramic bowl next to your stovetop to collect it. I<br />
like the little bacon bits in it, but you can strain them out if<br />
you want it to last longer (refrigerating it also extends the<br />
shelf life). Use it when cooking eggs or sautéing vegetables<br />
(either alone or when starting a stew or soup) and meats like<br />
pork chops. It adds a delicious layer of flavor to just about<br />
everything!<br />
—Stephanie Hibbert, Chef, Founder, Consultant<br />
chef-stephanie.com, @chefstephanieh<br />
Do you have any tips and tricks to making perfect<br />
scrambled eggs?<br />
The trick to perfect scrambled eggs is to whip them<br />
thoroughly before cooking and not to add salt, as it will<br />
toughen them. You can also add a teaspoon of milk per<br />
egg. Cook them in a Teflon pan with a little butter over<br />
medium heat, and stir them constantly; it incorporates air<br />
and creates a nice curd. Cook till 3/4 done and remove from<br />
heat (they will keep cooking). Lastly, stir in a dollop of grassfed<br />
butter and sprinkle with a touch of kosher salt and black<br />
pepper if desired.<br />
—Syd Bailey, Chef, Dinner Parties, Group Classes, Private Lessons<br />
chefsydbailey.com, @chefsydbailey<br />
What’s the secret to fluffy flapjacks?<br />
The secret is simple! Separate your egg whites from the rest<br />
of the mixture. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.<br />
Gently fold the egg whites into the rest of the mixture as<br />
your last step before dropping them onto the skillet. This tip<br />
works great for both pancake and waffle batter.<br />

Croque Madame,<br />
Breakfast Skillet, and<br />
Pear Bellini<br />
You don’t have to travel to France to try authentic French cuisine. La<br />
Provence Restaurant & Terrace offers a brunch menu filled<br />
with French-inspired cooking, like a classic Croque Madame where ham,<br />
melted brie, and Mornay sauce fill toasted brioche with a fried egg on<br />
top (you can also go sans egg and order the Croque Monsieur). If an<br />
American breakfast is more your speed, go for the Breakfast Skillet,<br />
which includes your choice of bacon, pork sausage or ham, two eggs any<br />
style, breakfast potatoes, and cheese. For that sweet balance, sip on a<br />
Pear Bellini…or three. 110 Diamond Creek Place, Roseville, 916-789-2002,<br />

Great crêpes (and croissants…and cookies!) await at Julian’s<br />
Pâtisserie and Café. On the savory side, try the Crêpe California<br />
featuring chicken, bacon, mozzarella, avocado, and tomato. If a sweet<br />
treat is calling, the Crêpe Forest Berries—stuffed with vanilla pastry<br />
cream, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries—can’t be missed.<br />
Both pair well with a Latte (hot or iced) and while you’re at it, grab<br />
a few fresh pastries for the road; their Almond Croissant is always a<br />
crowd-pleaser. 6610 Folsom-Auburn Road, Suite 7, Folsom, 916-936-<br />

What are some hardboiled<br />
egg hacks?<br />
Start with room temperature<br />
eggs and a pot of water with<br />
1-2 tbsp. (or a heavy splash) of<br />
white vinegar. Bring the water<br />
to a simmer and gently lower in<br />
each egg, one at a time. Once<br />
in the pot, the water should just<br />
cover the eggs and continue<br />
to simmer (but not boil) as<br />
to avoid any egg-knocking or<br />
cracking. Set your timer for<br />
desired doneness (8-12 minutes). Once time is up, drain your<br />
eggs and place directly into an ice water bath. When the<br />
eggs have cooled completely, begin peeling. Chilling the<br />
eggs will make peeling a breeze so the colder they get, the<br />
easier it will be!<br />

DID YOU KNOW<br />
To Get Vaccinated<br />
or Not To Get<br />
Vaccinated?<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
Experts believe that getting a vaccine is one of the most significant ways<br />
to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Peter Barba, MD, Medical Director<br />
of Marshall Medical Foundation, oversees the distribution of COVID-19<br />
vaccines at Marshall facilities. Here, he shares answers to questions he’s<br />
received.<br />
Q: Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?<br />
A: Two reasons: First, getting vaccinated lowers your chances of getting<br />
severely ill from the virus, which spreads very easily. While we don’t<br />
yet know all of the lasting and secondary effects of COVID-19, we have<br />
seen that it can cause heart and brain damage and long-term fatigue.<br />
Secondly, getting vaccinated helps protect mankind. Let’s do everything<br />
we can to prevent COVID-19 from spreading to others—including your<br />
grandmother or someone you don’t even realize you’ve spread it to.<br />
When enough people have been vaccinated, the virus will stop spreading<br />
so quickly. We can get back to a normal life sooner, but only if enough<br />
people get the vaccine.<br />
Q: Do I still need the vaccine if I’ve had COVID-19?<br />
A: Yes. While people who get COVID-19 develop antibodies that may<br />
provide some protection, it’s not known how long antibodies last after<br />
a person recovers. You can get COVID-19 more than once. The CDC<br />
recommends getting vaccinated even after you’ve had COVID-19 to<br />
protect yourself from getting it again and to help prevent the spread.<br />
Q: Can I get COVID-19 from the vaccine?<br />
A: Absolutely not. The vaccine does not contain actual live virus. It gives our<br />
body the instructions on how to fight off the virus, but not the virus itself.<br />
There may be mild side effects a day or two after getting the vaccine. This<br />
doesn’t mean you’re sick, it just means the vaccine is working to build<br />
your immune system.<br />
Q: Once I get the vaccine, can I stop social distancing and wearing a<br />
mask?<br />
A: Not yet. For the time being, it’s important to continue social distancing,<br />
wearing a mask in public and washing your hands often. The first dose of<br />
the vaccine offers about 50-80 percent protection after a couple of weeks.<br />
The second dose offers 95 percent protection about two weeks after being<br />
administered. So we’ll need to slow the spread with other methods until<br />
more people are vaccinated and the virus is less widespread.<br />
Q: What if I have other questions?<br />
A: Consult your doctor or refer to a trusted source of medical advice, such as<br />
the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website: www.cdc.gov<br />
or www.familydoctor.org. Be careful of information that’s shared through<br />
social media. It’s hard to tell what’s true or false, and often social media<br />
posts are not based on science or evidence.<br />

High Cholesterol?<br />
Lower it with Easy<br />
Lifestyle Changes<br />
Is this the year you’ve vowed to lower those<br />
cholesterol levels that have been creeping up<br />
on you?<br />
The good news is that you can control your<br />
cholesterol by making lifestyle changes—<br />
and thereby lessen your risk of heart disease<br />
and stroke.<br />
The American Heart Association<br />
recommends you:<br />
• Check your cholesterol numbers and assess<br />
your risk.<br />
• Change your diet and lifestyle to improve<br />
your levels.<br />
• Control your cholesterol with help from your<br />
doctor if needed.<br />
What is cholesterol?<br />
While cholesterol occurs naturally in the body,<br />
it’s also introduced by foods that are high in<br />
saturated and trans fats: red meat, whole-milk<br />
dairy products, fried and processed foods, for<br />
example.<br />
There are two types of cholesterol: LDL (bad<br />
cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol). Too<br />
much of the bad kind, or not enough of the<br />
good, can lead to cholesterol building up on<br />
the inner walls of the arteries that feed the<br />
heart and brain. As the amount of cholesterol<br />
in your blood increases, so does your risk of<br />
cardiovascular diseases.<br />
Lifestyle can control risks<br />
“Heart disease is the leading cause of death<br />
in the United States, and high cholesterol is<br />
a major, but controllable, risk factor,” says<br />
Marshall Cardiologist Stanley Henjum, MD.<br />
“The earlier you start lowering your cholesterol<br />
level, the better.”<br />
Dr. Henjum recommends starting with lifestyle<br />
changes. “A healthy diet and exercise are the<br />
cornerstone of any treatment program. Lifestyle<br />
choices can either increase or decrease<br />
our cholesterol levels by as much as 20-50<br />
percent,” he says.<br />
A heart-healthy diet emphasizes fruits,<br />
vegetables, whole grains, poultry and fish, and<br />
limits foods high in saturated and trans fats.<br />
Adding an exercise program can maximize<br />
the effects of such a diet by lowering your<br />
cholesterol and high blood pressure and it<br />
often leads to beneficial weight loss. Quitting<br />
smoking also helps cholesterol levels.<br />
Medication can help<br />
If lifestyle changes don’t get your numbers in<br />
line, your doctor may prescribe medication.<br />
“Medications are often needed to treat patients<br />
with known coronary artery disease or multiple<br />
risk factors and bring their cholesterol to<br />
acceptable levels,” says Dr. Henjum. “I’ve<br />
seen a huge, positive impact on people’s lives<br />
who’ve used statins for 30 or more years.”<br />
Know your numbers<br />
Getting screened for high cholesterol can<br />
help you and your doctor determine the<br />
best steps to lower your levels and prevent<br />
heart disease. Knowing your risks and<br />
taking preventive steps—including lifestyle<br />
changes or medication—can be the keys to<br />
your good health.<br />

COVER STORY<br />
Sweet Success with<br />
Type 2 Diabetes<br />
While one in four<br />
Americans over<br />
the age of 65 has<br />
type 2 diabetes—which means<br />
their body doesn’t use insulin<br />
properly—this serious disease<br />
and its related complications can<br />
be prevented and controlled,<br />
according to experts.<br />
One way to gain control is<br />
to work with a healthcare<br />
professional to personalize a<br />
plan that helps you lower your<br />
blood sugar levels and stay on<br />
track for a healthy life.<br />
What you can do—and why<br />
When asked about her<br />
best advice as a Diabetes<br />
and Nutrition Educator,<br />
Marshall’s AJ Kenworthy,<br />
RN, says, “While the longterm<br />
complications of type 2<br />
diabetes are life threatening,<br />
it’s important to know that<br />
these threats can be avoided<br />
by managing your blood sugar<br />
levels. You can live a long,<br />
healthy life with well-controlled<br />
diabetes.”<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
Tactics for maintaining healthy<br />
blood sugar levels include<br />
making changes to your diet,<br />
increasing physical activity<br />
and losing weight.<br />
“It’s never too late to start,”<br />
Kenworthy says.<br />
4 | FOR YOUR HEALTH | www.marshallmedical.org
These moderate lifestyle changes<br />
can also help prevent or delay type 2<br />
diabetes.<br />
“Weight loss is a very effective way to<br />
lower your risk for type 2 diabetes,”<br />
says Kenworthy. “Losing just 10-15<br />
pounds can make a big difference in<br />
lowering glucose levels.”<br />
Studies have shown that losing just 7%<br />
of your body weight (15 pounds if you<br />
weigh 200 pounds) can lower your risk<br />
of diabetes by nearly 60 percent. The<br />
bonus: Weight loss also lowers your<br />
risk for heart disease and stroke and is<br />
beneficial for your blood pressure and<br />
cholesterol levels. (See stories in this<br />
issue about cholesterol control and<br />
the advantages of bariatric surgery for<br />
weight loss.)<br />
Taran Kaur, MD, a family medicine<br />
physician who specializes in diet and<br />
nutrition at Marshall Medical Center,<br />
agrees.<br />
“I encourage patients who are at<br />
risk or who have recently been<br />
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to<br />
begin making lifestyle changes and<br />
losing weight. These are ways to slow<br />
the progression of the disease,” she<br />
says, adding, “It’s important to catch it<br />
early.”<br />
Type 2 diabetes is easier to deal with<br />
at its earliest stages, according to Dr.<br />
Kaur. Early diagnosis and treatment<br />
can also help decrease the risk of<br />
developing complications related to<br />
the disease, including skin infections,<br />
kidney disease, neuropathy (nerve<br />
damage), eye complications, high<br />
blood pressure and stroke.<br />
Watch for symptoms<br />
Some people only have mild<br />
symptoms of type 2 diabetes, so<br />
It’s important to<br />
catch it early.<br />
they go unnoticed. According to<br />
the American Diabetes Association,<br />
common symptoms include:<br />
• Urinating often<br />
• Feeling very thirsty<br />
• Feeling very hungry—even though<br />
you are eating<br />
• Extreme fatigue<br />
• Blurry vision<br />
• Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal<br />
• Tingling, pain, or numbness in the<br />
hands/feet<br />
Risks associated with<br />
type 2 diabetes<br />
• Age: The older you are, the higher<br />
your risk<br />
• Family history: A parent, brother<br />
or sister with diabetes<br />
• Those with high blood pressure<br />
• People who are physically inactive<br />
• Race: Black, Hispanic/Latino,<br />
American Indian, Asian American<br />
or Pacific Islander<br />
• Overweight: Higher Body Mass<br />
Index (BMI) means higher risk<br />
• Diagnosed with gestational<br />
diabetes<br />
Source: American Diabetes Association<br />
Diagnosing diabetes<br />
Diabetes is typically diagnosed with<br />
a fasting plasma glucose test—which<br />
measures blood sugar levels after<br />
eight hours of fasting—or with a nonfasting<br />
A1C test—which measures<br />
your average blood sugar for the past<br />
two to three months. If results show<br />
that your blood sugar levels are higher<br />
than normal, your doctor will prescribe<br />
a treatment program to keep them as<br />
close to normal as possible.<br />
A test may also indicate prediabetes,<br />
where your blood sugar levels are<br />
higher than normal, but not high<br />
enough to be called diabetes. This<br />
condition puts you at risk for type 2<br />
diabetes and cardiovascular disease,<br />
so it’s important to take steps to lower<br />
your blood sugar levels.<br />
Managing the disease<br />
“People sometimes say that living with<br />
diabetes means you have to give up<br />
the good stuff. That’s simply not true.”<br />
says Kenworthy. “But it does mean<br />
cutting back on sugars and starches<br />
and eating more high-fiber, complex<br />
carbohydrates.”<br />
Sometimes, in addition to a healthy<br />
diet and an active lifestyle, your<br />
doctor may prescribe pills and/or<br />
insulin to help manage your blood<br />
sugar. “Medications are important for<br />
reducing insulin resistance in the body<br />
and slowing down the progression of<br />
diabetes,” says Dr. Kaur.<br />
“Diabetes is a chronic disease.<br />
Sticking with a treatment plan and<br />
lifestyle changes needs to be lifelong<br />
commitment,” Dr. Kaur says.<br />
Your next step<br />
Work with a healthcare professional<br />
who can help you manage your<br />
health. For personalized support<br />
by a diabetes educator, contact<br />

Education program at (530) 672-7021.<br />

Putting a Premium<br />
on Hospital Safety<br />
While the safety of<br />
patients and staff<br />
has always been<br />
a top priority at<br />
Marshall Medical<br />
Center, it’s taken on a critical significance<br />
during the pandemic.<br />
“We’re constantly<br />
working to maintain a<br />
safe environment,” says<br />
It’s also critical to keep the hospital’s<br />
environment clean and safe. While<br />
Marshall uses a germ-zapping robot in<br />
patient rooms to ensure the highest level<br />
of cleaning in between patient stays,<br />
Norris-Even says it’s the housekeeping<br />
staff that deserves the credit<br />
for maintaining high<br />
environmental standards in<br />
the hospital.<br />
MARSHALL<br />
RECOGNIZED<br />
FOR ITS HEALTH<br />
AND SAFETY<br />
COMMITMENT<br />
Marshall Medical Center<br />
recently received<br />
two honors for its<br />
extraordinary measures<br />
to ensure the health and<br />
safety of its staff and<br />
patients.<br />
Michelle Norris-Even, RN, the<br />
Executive Director of Quality and<br />
Education at Marshall. “Our<br />
safety culture starts at the<br />
top and involves everyone<br />
at Marshall, not just those<br />
who directly care for our<br />
patients.”<br />
When it comes to<br />
preventing the spread<br />
of any infection, Norris-<br />
Even says, “We follow<br />
the Center for Disease<br />
Control guidelines—which<br />
changed continuously<br />
when COVID-19 hit—to<br />
make sure we are upto-date<br />
on everything.”<br />
Examples included<br />
implementing strict health<br />
screening protocols for<br />
anyone entering any of Marshall Medical<br />
Center’s facilities, and quickly providing<br />
PPE training and COVID-19 testing for<br />
hospital staff during the pandemic’s<br />
heightened sense of urgency.<br />
During the past year, Marshall<br />
demonstrated its commitment to<br />
safety by introducing a<br />
program that encouraged<br />
staff to be on the lookout<br />
for potential safety issues.<br />
“Staff observations gave us<br />
an opportunity to identify<br />
areas for improvement,”<br />
says Norris-Even. ”In<br />
six months we saw a<br />
tremendous jump in<br />
ways our staff became<br />
involved in providing more<br />
excellent care to patients.<br />
If something needed to be<br />
adjusted, we made rapid<br />
improvements.”<br />
Marshall has received state<br />
and national recognition<br />
for its commitment to<br />
quality care and safety. “These awards<br />
show the commitment, hard work and<br />
patient-centered focus that Marshall<br />
demonstrates 24 hours a day,” says<br />
Norris-Even.<br />
• Marshall earned an “A”<br />
in the Fall 2020 Hospital<br />
Safety Grade program<br />
from The Leapfrog<br />
Group. In its nationwide<br />
evaluation of 2,600<br />
hospitals, Leapfrog<br />
recognized Marshall’s<br />
hospital providers and<br />
staff for demonstrating<br />
“a continued<br />
commitment to patient<br />
safety and the reduction<br />
of avoidable harm.”<br />
• The California<br />
Department of Public<br />
Health recognized<br />
Marshall with a<br />
bronze designation<br />
as a top performer<br />
in its Healthcare-<br />
Associated Infections<br />
Program. Marshall’s<br />
participation in the<br />
CDPH antimicrobial<br />
stewardship program<br />

Bariatric<br />
Surgery Offers<br />
a Path to<br />
Weight Loss<br />
Weight loss can be life changing. But<br />
sometimes, even with diet and exercise, it<br />
can be an elusive milestone.<br />
For those who are severely overweight and<br />
dealing with the negative health effects of obesity, weight loss<br />
surgery—known as bariatric surgery—may provide the path to<br />
good health.<br />
“Bariatric surgery can help patients achieve long-term weight<br />
loss, improve their quality of life and live longer,” says Ryan<br />
Lussenden, MD, a board certified surgeon and director of<br />
Marshall Medical Center’s Bariatric Surgery Program. “People<br />
come to us wanting to live healthier, more active lives and<br />
enjoy their children and grandchildren. It’s a happy day when<br />
they begin enjoying their new life.”<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
What are the health benefits?<br />
The many health benefits associated with weight loss<br />
following bariatric surgery include improvements in type 2<br />
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, sleep<br />
apnea, arthritis and depression.<br />
How does bariatric surgery work?<br />
One of the most common bariatric procedures is sleeve<br />
gastrectomy, where 75-80 percent of the stomach is removed<br />
laparoscopically through small incisions in the abdominal<br />
wall. The reduction of stomach volume causes the patient to<br />
feel full faster and reduces the secretion of hunger hormones.<br />
Gastric bypass is another common type of bariatric surgery.<br />
It alters the stomach, creating a small pouch that is directly<br />
connected to the small intestine.<br />
Both procedures surgically limit the amount of food a patient<br />
can eat and change the way the body absorbs nutrients.<br />
The result: Patients can lose an average of 50-80 percent of<br />
their excess body weight two years after surgery, depending<br />
on the type of surgery performed and the patient’s level of<br />
commitment to a post-surgical diet and exercise regime.<br />
Am I a candidate?<br />
Bariatric surgery candidates typically are more than 100<br />
pounds overweight. They may have a Body Mass Index (BMI)<br />
of 40 or greater, or a BMI of 35-39 along with one or more<br />
medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension that<br />
would significantly improve with weight loss.<br />
How Marshall can help<br />
“We want patients to succeed with their permanent weight<br />
loss goals and we’re here to support their commitment to diet,<br />
exercise and behavioral changes before and after surgery,” Dr.<br />
Lussenden says. Marshall’s team includes a board certified<br />
psychiatrist and a physician who specializes in diet and<br />
nutrition, as well as an certified nutritionist from Marshall’s<br />
Diabetes and Nutrition Education.<br />

new path to good health, talk with your primary care doctor<br />
or call Marshall Medical Center’s Bariatric Surgery Program at<br />

me of an East Coast fishing village but with<br />
hippies. That could be because (and this<br />
will age me) it was the setting for the early<br />
’90s TV show Murder She Wrote, which<br />
Though there are a<br />
plethora of local bed<br />
& breakfasts, as well as<br />
resorts and quaint inns,<br />
choosing the Little<br />
River Inn (littleriverinn.<br />
com) as home base was<br />
a perfect pick! This<br />
more than 80-yearold<br />
inn sits on a cliff<br />
across the legendary<br />
Pacific Coast Highway<br />
from the thundering<br />
surf. It was cold and<br />
rainy during my visit,<br />
Mendocino Headlands so the wood-burning<br />
fireplace and soaking<br />
tub were a welcome amenity. The views<br />
from the rooms are spectacular with large<br />
decks and rocking chairs to sit and listen<br />
to the sound of the sea. The food at the<br />
inn’s restaurant was fresh and amazing,<br />
too—don’t miss the Fresh Steamed Clam<br />
Chowder and any of the specials, such<br />
as Braised Short Ribs, along with a glass<br />
(or bottle) of award-winning wine from<br />
nearby Anderson Valley.<br />

Though there aren’t too many<br />

the deck at the Veranda Restaurant in front<br />
of the hotel, you can enjoy some fantastic<br />
people-watching while indulging in the<br />
typical So Cal cuisine of tapas, craft cocktails,<br />
and their famous Stuffed French Toast!<br />
I could write pages on shopping in Santa<br />
Monica, but suffice to say it’s upscale, kitschy,<br />
and elegant—all at the same time. A favorite<br />
for any stay in Santa Monica is to take a<br />
(long) walk from Santa Monica to Venice<br />
Beach, past the surfers, buff dudes on<br />
Muscle Beach, and street vendors hawking<br />
everything you just discovered you can’t live<br />
without (this included someone selling an<br />
iguana). While Northern California has the<br />
hippy vibe, the aroma along the boardwalk<br />
takes one to a “higher” level!<br />
The beaches here are wide, sandy, and<br />
warm—perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and<br />
again, people-watching. Although my visit<br />
was the same time of year as the weekend<br />
in Northern California, it seemed we were in<br />
different seasons. The weather couldn’t have<br />
been more different—warm and sunny Los<br />
Angeles, cool and rainy North Coast.<br />
Quiet, cool, laid-back Northern California;<br />
or fast, loud, and sunny Southern<br />
California where you feel like you’re in a<br />
movie wherever you go? Your choice. You<br />
can’t go wrong with either. Enjoy, dude<br />
(that’s so California!).<br />

Dining Out<br />
Oki Sushi<br />
BY LORN RANDALL // PHOTOS BY DANTE FONTANA<br />
“<br />
You’re either that crazy or<br />
that good.” My first thought<br />
when Rachel Batbayar told<br />
me they opened Oki Sushi<br />
in September of 2020. As it<br />
turns out, Rachel’s husband<br />
Jay, the sushi chef and co-owner, purchased<br />
the building in January of 2020—prior to<br />
the news of a business-killing outbreak.<br />
With all of the remodeling and shutdowns,<br />
by September Oki Sushi was ready and the<br />
virus was slowing (somewhat). So they’re not<br />
“that crazy”—just confident and optimistic.<br />
After consulting with Rachel, I placed<br />
my order over the phone and stopped<br />
by 30 minutes later to pick it up. (Dining<br />
restrictions were still in place at the time of<br />
this writing.) Even when feasting at home,<br />
I still eat my to-go orders as I would in a<br />
restaurant—appetizer first. In this instance,<br />
it was the pepper fin, featuring slices of<br />
albacore shingled across a bed of beet strings<br />
and topped with jalapeños, sesame oil,<br />
ponzu sauce, and a “spicy sauce.” Beautifully<br />
presented—even in a to-go container—and<br />
light on the palate, with a slight heat from the<br />
thinly sliced jalapeños and sauce, it made for<br />
a welcome start to the meal.<br />
The next box to open was the salad<br />
course, of course! Oki Sushi’s sunomono—<br />
sliced cucumbers in a mild vinaigrette<br />
with sesame seeds—was a refreshing palate<br />
cleanser, especially considering I went a little<br />
heavy on the wasabi and sriracha earlier.<br />
Every sushi house has its most popular<br />
roll; for Oki, it might be the Savage Roll—a<br />
deep-fried masterpiece containing spicy crab,<br />
cream cheese, red snapper, and salmon that’s<br />
torched, then topped with spicy mayo, unagi<br />
sauce, masago, and scallions. Definitely a<br />
mouthful, both literally and culinarily.<br />
On to box numbers 4, 5, 6, and 7 (it was<br />
like sushi Christmas). Box 4 was an order of<br />
the small sashimi featuring sake (salmon),<br />
hamachi (yellowtail), maguro (red tuna), and<br />
Small Sashimi<br />
“THE SASHIMI WAS ALMOST AS FRESH AS IF<br />
SOMEONE HAD CAUGHT IT THAT DAY, AND CHEF<br />
JAY’S KNIFE WORK WAS IMPECCABLE.”<br />

cold when I got to it—my fault), as was the<br />
salad, but both were pleasant and unexpected<br />
additions. The sashimi was almost as fresh as<br />
if someone had caught it that day, and Chef<br />
Jay’s knife work was impeccable.<br />
Congratulations to Jay and Rachel! You’re<br />
definitely not “that crazy,” and your food is<br />
absolutely “that good.”<br />

Say Cheese!<br />
7 Gorgeous Grazing Boards BY TARA MENDANHA<br />
Charcuterie, or grazing boards, are as beautiful as they are<br />
bountiful. Treat yourself to savory meats, sinful cheeses, sweet fruit,<br />
and so much more with these locally crafted works of art.<br />
Grazing Gouda in Sacramento offers<br />
luxury boards and tables that include<br />
locally sourced artisan cheeses, premium<br />
meats, and fresh, seasonal fruit. Their<br />
medium round board serves 8-10 and<br />
includes four cheeses, three meats, fresh<br />
and dried fruit, crackers, nuts, chocolates,<br />
honey, jam, olives, and other enticing<br />
accoutrements. We especially love the<br />
decorative fruit and flower elements in<br />
this pleasing platter. @grazinggouda<br />
PRO TIP: Don't be intimidated to try new<br />
cheeses and have fun while making<br />
your board. Include items you love and<br />
get creative by using fresh flowers or<br />
garnishes like rosemary or sage!<br />
Delicious Delights by The Dancer’s Pantry in Gold River creates thoughtfully<br />
curated and artistically designed dairy and plant-based cheese grazing experiences.<br />
Their boxes, boards, and grazing tables are filled with artisanal cheeses, crackers,<br />
jams, homemade spreads, pickles, nuts, and seasonal fruit and veg. Their medium harvest<br />
board (feeds 8-12) is particularly delightful, with custom-made pumpkin hummus<br />
and beets pickled in brown sugar, rosemary, and apple cider. thedancerspantry.com<br />
PRO TIP: Add texture. We eat with our eyes first. A variety of colors and flavors makes any<br />
board look appetizing and taste amazing.<br />
Charcutebrie in Roseville curbs those cheese cravings with deli boxes and platters<br />
that can even be custom-made. Their grand deli platter serves 8 and boasts<br />
delectable artisan cheeses, freshly cut meats, fruits, olives, nuts, honey, and a specialty<br />
jam, all served on a sustainable bamboo platter. charcutebrie.com<br />
PRO TIP: Always experiment. Combine types of cheeses that you like or haven’t tried<br />
before with prosciutto, salami, or jámon. Add dried fruits, nuts, different types of<br />
crackers, and bread. Don’t forget a nice jam and honey. When setting up your board,<br />
start with the biggest items to the smallest.<br />

Divine Charcuterie in El Dorado Hills<br />
masterfully makes boards and boxes for every<br />
occasion, from date nights to weddings. Every<br />
board is bright and bold with intentionally<br />
paired flavors. Their popular medium board<br />
is perfect for 6-8 and flaunts four different<br />
cheeses, three cured meats, and an exciting<br />
variety of fruits, spreads, sweets, and crackers.<br />
divinecharcuterie.com<br />
PRO TIP: Choose flavors that pair well together<br />
like brie and fig jam, salami and gouda, or goat<br />
cheese and honey.<br />
Cellar Door Platters in Sacramento is a<br />
long-time cheesemonger who knows their<br />
stuff. Their assortment of platter boxes and<br />
grazing tables come with rotating cheeses,<br />
signature salami roses, local honey, and<br />
seasonal accoutrements. Best part? They also<br />
offer tasting and pairing notes for their platter<br />
boxes, which have been a favorite during the<br />
pandemic. cellardoorplatters.com<br />
PRO TIP: Have variety and have fun! Cheese is<br />
fun food; it doesn't have to be so serious. Mix up<br />
types and textures of cheese—cow, goat, sheep's<br />
milk, soft, firm, and everything in between.<br />

The Grazing Grouse in Placerville creates platters, boxes, and lush grazing tables that artfully<br />
combine food and floristry, resulting in a decadent spread that’s a feast for the senses. Brimming with<br />
fresh-smoked salmon, honey-crusted oranges, stuffed brie, compote, local chocolate, and California<br />
cheeses and olives, these spreads definitely impress. thegrazinggrouse.com<br />
PRO TIP: Choose your favorites, then pick a wild card—something you’ve never tried before. <strong>Style</strong> tables<br />
and boards by starting out with focal food placement. What do you want to stand out the most? Cluster<br />
those foods together for the most visible impact.<br />
Sierra Charcuterie Co. in El Dorado Hills delivers a farm-to-fork experience by highlighting<br />
locally sourced cheeses, cured meats, olives, nuts, and honey in their tablescapes, platters, boxes,<br />
and appetizer cones and cups. Their innovative seasonal medium board incorporates local, fresh,<br />
and dried fruit; crudites; and unique accoutrements bursting with freshness and flavor. sierracharcuterie-co.business.site<br />
PRO TIP: There are no rules! Explore cheeses in hard, semi-hard, and soft varieties. Shop local<br />
farmers’ markets for seasonal pairings like fruits, crudites, nuts, honey, and olives, and finish off<br />
with fresh breads.<br />

Mom & Pop Chicken Shop // Do you ever find yourself craving the crunchy, carnivorous<br />
comfort of fried chicken but don’t want to drive through the commercialized KFC? I do. Truth be told, I’ve been<br />
on somewhat of a fried chicken sandwich mission as of late and finally found the perfect place to satiate<br />
those cravings: Mom & Pop Chicken Shop in the El Dorado Hills Town Center. I popped in on a late Sunday<br />
afternoon expecting the shop to be a little less busy, but to the contrary, folks were lined up for nuggets,<br />
sandwiches, and wings like meat bees at a picnic. Owner Nick Dedier (the guy riding the chicken on their<br />
window) shared with me that they’ve “sold 66,000 nuggets since opening in mid-November.” By the time this<br />
article comes out, those numbers could double. All of their chicken is brined, hand-cut, and breaded and<br />
fried to order—ensuring your meal is as fresh as possible. Early in the shop’s first few weeks of operation,<br />
they ran out of brined chicken pieces; Nick closed for the rest of the day. “I could have served unbrined<br />
chicken, but that’s not how I want you to try our food,” he told me. Now that’s quality control. The “Back<br />
to Basics” Chicken Sandwich was everything I’d been craving (including some delicious house-made<br />
spicy pickles), and the CHXSHP Nuggets were meaty and massive. Try some of their other offerings, too,<br />
like the fries, burgers, salads, chowder bread bowls, and donuts. 4355 Town Center Boulevard, Suite 114,<br />

Beer was known as the breakfast drink in England prior to<br />
the early 1800s. Why? Water was usually contaminated, and<br />
coffee, tea, and hot cocoa weren’t widely available; plus,<br />
beer delivered the carbs needed to power through the day.<br />
