LIFESTYLE LETTER

Summer Days Summer is the perfect time to come up with a bucket list of activities to enjoy and ways to unwind and relax. Some of the best summers spent are often not filled with constant activities and trips but are those that are slower paced with simple moments of enjoying those around us. Although the “lazy days of summer” isn’t always something we can attain with our packed schedules, it’s so refreshing to take some time to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures that remind us of our own childhoods. Some of those times might be backyard barbecues, making s’mores by a fire pit, eating ice cream on a hot summer day, or simply taking in the night sky with someone you love. And as we have featured on page 46, you don’t have to go further than your own back yard for summer fun. Dream Play Recreation can help you to build or enhance your kids’ play area, for years of making great memories. As far as beating the heat, that’s no problem with all the fun water activities around the area. Check out the Local Experiences section of this issue for some great ideas. We’ve highlighted it on page 16. Let’s also not forget to shine a light on local veterans in our community and thank them for their service in honor of the Fourth of July. We have an immense respect for the men and women who make the selfless decision to serve and protect our nation. There is no greater sacrifice than to risk your life in order to protect others. The team at City Lifestyle wants to thank all veterans, those still serving and all of their loved ones for your service. From our porch to yours may your summer days be beautiful.

Farm To Table Dinner OUTDOORS ENJOYING FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER GOOD FOOD AND DRINKS IS A GREAT WAY TO USHER IN SUMMER

Spending time outdoors and enjoying friends and family over good food and drinks is a great way to usher in summer. From the fresh flower arrangements to the locally sourced produce and herbs, this earthy spread is brimming with character and flavor. The earthy ceramic and clay vases give the perfect vessel to fill with organic cut herbs and handpicked wild flowers which includes a medley of queen Anne’s lace, mint, sage, rosemary, lavender, lamb’s ear, nigella, buddleia, oregano, dill, feverfew, and geranium to name just a few of these beautiful blooms.

We love a good home-cooked menu mixed with a signature drink. We start with an Arugula Salad with Grilled Corn, Shaved Radishes with Zucchini and Goat Cheese and served with a Creamy Lemon Vinaigrette. Buttermilk Brined Fried Chicken was a must for this outdoor party which pairs nicely with Roasted Heirloom Carrots drizzled with Hot Honey. Peach Bread Pudding with Salted Vanilla Caramel Cream rounded out for the perfect sweet treat.

BUTTERMILK BRINED FRIED CHICKEN DRIED SPICE MIX • • • • • • • • • • •

2 tablespoons white pepper 1 teaspoon ground mustard 5 teaspoons paprika 2 teaspoons fresh black pepper 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano 2 teaspoons cayenne 1 teaspoon celery salt 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 4 teaspoons onion powder Palm kosher salt

BUTTERMILK BRINE • 4 cups buttermilk • 1 bunch fresh sage • 1/2 of spice mixture

DREDGE • 2 cups flour • 1/2 cup cornstarch • 1 tablespoon baking powder • Whole cut up chicken or 2 bone-in breasts, 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks • 4 cups shortening

TO COOK: Marinate chicken in brine for up to 24 hours. Place chicken in large Ziploc bag and pour marinade over top. Add fresh sage and store in fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking rack with a sheet pan for raw chicken and one for cooked chicken. Add remaining spice mixture to flour mixture. Whisk together well. Heat shortening to 350 degrees. (Preference is cast iron Dutch oven) Pull chicken out of buttermilk mixture and let drip. Coat firmly in flour mixture and set on raw chicken rack. Complete each piece of chicken. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Place 2 or 3 pieces of chicken in oil and cook 3-5 minutes per side. Place on cooked chicken rack. Put cooked chicken in oven to complete cooking for 15 minutes. Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving!

PEACH BREAD PUDDING • 1 loaf brioche • 5 fresh peaches • 2 tablespoons sugar • 2 tablespoons butter • 2 cups milk • 1 cup heavy cream • 5 eggs • 2 teaspoons cinnamon • 2 tablespoons brown sugar • 2 teaspoons vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Dice peaches into medium dice. Place peaches, white sugar, and butter in saucepan. Cook until sugar is dissolved and peaches are soft. Mix all other ingredients together. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan and add peach mixture with brioche pieces and then add milk mixture. Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting.

SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE • 1 cup granulated sugar • 6 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature and cut into 6 pieces • 1/2 cup heavy cream • 1 teaspoon salt Heat sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn. Once sugar is completely melted, immediately add the butter. Be careful in this step because the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added. Stir the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2 minutes. If you notice the butter separating, remove from heat and vigorously whisk to combine it again. Very slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while stirring. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt. Caramel thickens as it cools. Cover tightly and store for up to one month in the refrigerator.

EL AHUMADO BY CORDIAL CRAFT“SPANISH FOR SMOKY” • 1 1/2 ounces Reposado tequila • 1/2 ounce Aperol • 3/4 ounce lime juice • 1/2 ounce agave nectar • 1/4 ounces luxardo cherry syrup • 1 spritz of Mezcal Lightly sweet, pleasantly bitter. The Mezcal adds just a hint of smoke to make a beautifully balanced, interesting cocktail. Recipes by: Sammie Laforce Beverages: Brandon Burke

Enjoy ‘Outdoor Paradise’

By Horseback

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park Offers Ozarks Beauty And History 32

M UST SE E | TR AVEL

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is an “outdoor paradise” located in Lampe, Missouri, close to Branson. This one-of-a-kind experience highlights the exceptional beauty of the Ozarks, with 10,000 acres of pristine Ozark Mountain landscape, crystal-clear trout streams, dozens of cascading waterfalls, ancient burial caves, unique handbuilt bridges, wildlife and bottomless, blue-green pools. The Park includes a fully-functioning mill, restaurant, conservation center and a treehouse built by Animal Planet's Treehouse Masters. Aside from a few amenities to make Dogwood Canyon Nature Park more accessible to guests, the rugged landscape has been left untouched. With just a little imagination, one can travel back to a time when European settlers first entered the area or, even further, to explore the mark that Native Americans left on these Missouri hills and hollows. Enjoy the 6.4-mile roundtrip tour by walking or biking on mostly level pathways, or even by Segway. If walking, plan on about 3 hours with plenty of stopping to take photos. There are great spots along the way to eat a picnic lunch. For those who aren't up to a big walk, there is a 2-hour tram tour that allow guests to ride over bridges and low-water crossings. Another way to explore the beauty and serenity of this Ozark Mountain

paradise is on horseback. No matter what skill level, this horseback riding experiences allows visitors to explore the Ozarks through the eyes of early settlers, discovering areas of the park not seen by the tram or from walking and biking trails. One can enjoy a 1-hour ride (for all-level riders) or a 2.5-hour ride that is for more experienced riders and includes a break for lunch. Before setting out, guests can visit the new Little Indian Stables with 24 stalls where they can meet the horses. Experienced wranglers guide guests on a leisurely ride, exploring ridges, hollows, old logging roads and other scenic views.

than 250 pounds and be able to ride on their own (one rider per horse). For the more adventurous, there’s the Cattle Drive, the “ultimate cowboy experience.” Riders gather and herd colorful Texas longhorns and eat a hearty meal following the round up at the chuckwagon site. There’s also a 5- to 6-hour advanced horseback ride through emerald pastures, wooded areas and Little Indian Creek with lunch provided. The mission of Dogwood Canyon, and its owner Johnny Morris—founder and CEO of Bass Pro Shops—is about conservation and education, as well as working hard to protect the land and wildlife. Operated by Dogwood Canyon Foundation, visitors enjoy a carefully maintained landscape, while learning

about conservation and interacting with nature up close. When Johnny purchased the property in 1990, he says he wanted to create a nature park where he could bring back some buffalo and elk that were native to the area and also have a place for people to fish and hike. It underwent a major cleanup after the Flood of 2017. The reconstruction of the park took a total of five months, 130 laborers, hundreds of dump trucks worth of soil and 10,000 pounds of trout. It reopened on Sept. 30, 2017. Today, 30 years later, it remains a magical place where thousands of visitors to the Branson area can experience the beauty and history of the Ozarks.

Greece: ANOTHER ONE OF MARCIE’S EXPERT TRAVEL PICKS — CRYSTAL- CLEAR NATURAL BEAUTY AND ASTONISHING DIVERSITY

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON Top destinations that garner the most requests for travel plans to Greece are often Athens, Santorini and Mykonos, says Marcie Boyle, owner of Travel Leaders Chesterfield. However, she confirms the more authentic Cycladic islands, such as Paros, Naxos, Milos, have grown in popularity. “We customize our clients' Greece-detailed itineraries based on their exact wish list," she adds.

CRETE IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER Being a family-friendly island, Crete offers many soft sandy beaches with shallow waters, such as Elafonissi, where children love the pink sand. Visitors can hike and partake in watersports. There also are educational activities, such as the CretAquarium/Thalassocosmos. As a location,

Plaka area under Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Crete is known for being an especially accommodating 365-day destination. "Crete is also romantic, so it makes for a dreamy honeymoon in Chania or Elounda," shares Marcie.

ZAKYNTHOS AND PELOPONNESE ARE UP-AND-COMERS For starters, Zakynthos is home to the worldwide famous Navagio (shipwreck) beach, making it one of the most popular Greek islands. Marcie says it has breathtaking landscapes, exotic beaches with sugar-fine sand, turquoise waters and enriched nightlife. Escape to the Peloponnese, where myths meet history through monuments, archeological sites, ancient Olympia, temples, Byzantine churches and monasteries. Located on the southern side of the country, the Peloponnese is the most popular region of the Greek mainland. It's a peninsula that is geographically shaped like a plane tree leaf. Marcie says the area also

has seaside locations, gorgeous beaches, castles and ski centers. Greece is famous for its ancient philosophers, such as Plato, Pythagoras, Socrates and Aristotle. It's known as the birthplace of democracy in the West, too, and they invented the Olympic Games and theater. Visitors need not speak the Greek language, except perhaps for their own joy. Most residents speak enough English to communicate, while many speak it fluently as a second language. Note that cash is the desired purchase transaction in this Hellenic Republic. For travel plans to Greece, email marcie@ RSVPEventsOnline.com or call 636.778.1081. By booking with locally owned Travel Leaders, Marcie says clients receive personalized itineraries with their specific budget and travel style in mind. TravelLeaders.com/STLouisMo CONTINUED >

BACKYARD SUMMER FUN DREAM PLAY RECREATION OFFERS HEALTHY, SAFE OUTDOOR PLAY

O UT D OOR A DV E N T U R E | HE ALTH + W E LLNE S S

Family-owned for 30 years, and located in Chesterfield, Dream Play Recreation offers safe, long-lasting, quality outdoor play equipment. Their mission is all about improving the health of children by getting them active and out of the house. “Especially with kids being cooped up the last two years with the pandemic, it’s important to increase their physical activity and the social interaction they’ve lost over that time,” says Tim Albers, owner. “Any outdoor play is healthy for the body and the mind. Kids need to get off their devices where they’re only seeing people online. Our outdoor play equipment not only helps develop their coordination and physical skills, but also

increases development by building confidence in their social abilities from playing together in their backyards.” In addition, “pretending” stimulates the mind and increases creativity. One of Dream Play’s best-selling playsets is the Rainbow Castle swing set, where children can be the next to blast off, rocketing to the moon. Today, kids may be the ringmaster of the circus and tomorrow, they’re pirates sailing the seven seas, searching for hidden treasures. Rainbow Play Systems offers more than 100 Castles and Clubhouses and 100-plus cedar wooden play set options and accessories from which to choose. They’re also great for unlevel yards. All their swing sets are expandable so they can be added onto as kids grow, and include a lifetime warranty. In addition, Tim says Dream Play is well-stocked with Springfree trampolines. “These trampolines are the safest in the world because they’ve eliminated product-related injuries,” he explains. Believing that kids deserve safe backyard play, Springfree representatives state its safety design gives parents peace of mind while kids enjoy the ultimate fun jumping experience. Springfree has removed the impact areas that cause injury by removing the need for springs, moving the frame to below the mat and removing all hard edges at the jumping surface. Springfree offers a 10-year warranty that covers every inch of the trampoline, from net to frame to mat. Dream Play also features Goalsetter basketball goals, which are 100% Made in the U.S.A. and known as Goalrilla Goals, or “The Toughest on the Planet.” “We will always represent the highest quality brands to be found,” adds Tim. "Since 1985, Rainbow Play Systems has offered the absolute highest quality residential play system in America. Our sets offer the sturdiest designs on the market!” Dream Play has an interactive indoor showroom at 17373 Edison Ave. in Chesterfield, which allows customers to test play on most of the products they sell to see the size and quality first hand. As safety of the children is always a priority, the flooring is covered in 3-3/4” thick rubber. For showroom hours, visit DreamPlayRec.com/contact-us.

MAYHEM ATHLETE

Online Bodyweight and Minimal Equipment Workouts

Sweaty and challenging workouts done in 30 minutes or less at home

ARTICLE BY KELSEY HARRIS AND JEN FRUDAKER

G E T ACT IV E | HEA LTH + W E LLNE S S

Bags are packed, reservations are made, and the Out of Office automatic reply is letting everyone know you have officially entered vacation mode. There’s one thing that’s lingering: how to go on vacation without pressing pause on the fitness progress you’ve made, or avoid commuting to a gym and paying drop-in fees. Mayhem Athlete provides online programming that guarantees challenging workouts which can be done in 30 minutes or less. These quick but effective workouts incorporate compound movements such as burpees, push ups and lunges. Compound movements use more than one muscle group, requiring more energy from your muscles to recover. This means you can continue to burn calories while enjoying the beach or sitting at work, long after the workout is over. The Mayhem Athlete M30 program offers two options for all fitness levels. Mayhem Bodyweight, a 30-minute format that requires no equipment, and Mayhem Minimal, a 30-minute format which only requires a couple dumbbells. Mayhem Athletes’ easy to use app, SugarWOD, provides you with a warm up, workout, accessory cool-down, and coaching video - ensuring you get the most out of your 30 minutes! You can also find video demonstrations for each movement within the app and a community of like-minded individuals who are doing the same workouts around the globe.

Just Chillin’ MY FAVORITE LOCAL FROZEN TREATS Hot summer days have arrived, and I’m excited to share my favorite local spots to hit when it’s time to cool down. From ice cream to popsicles and cocktails on the rocks, there are plenty of places in St. Louis to find some shade and enjoy a cold treat.

Hangar’s Strawberry Basil Mojito: The Hangar in Rock Hill is a great spot to enjoy a patio drink. They have a lot on their menu for snacking but their cocktails are simply divine.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream: located in the heart of Central West End, Jeni’s is known nationally, but I still consider it one of my local go-to favorites. Try the Brambleberry Crisp.

Clementine’s: simply the best in town, Clementine’s always has a unique new flavor, or your good old favorites. I never skip the hot fudge, either.

Poptimism: the cutest popsicle truck now has a location at the City Foundry, and all of their unique creations are so fun to try.

Boardwalk Waffles: now serving up their own homemade ice cream flavors, Boardwalk is a Maplewood icon sure to leave your sweet tooth happy.

Taco Buddha Frozen Margarita: the freshest tasting! On the hottest days, these are so refreshing to sip on. Come for the margs, stay for the tacos.
