In the Bag If the saying, “You are what you eat,” holds true, then Southlake is out—a lot. I say this because in a recent online poll, 87 percent of our readers said they have dinner out two or more times each week. Almost one-third (29 percent) said they eat out four or more times each week.

But before we get down on ourselves, it is nice to know that in this regard, we are no different than the rest of the country. According to the most recent statistics from the USDA, consumption of food prepared away from home represents 43.1 percent of a family’s food expenditures—this up from 25.9 percent in 1970.

We all know the reasons why: more two-income households, increased disposable incomes, hectic family schedules and of course, the pure convenience of fast food outlets.

However, this year marks the long-awaited openings of Fresh Market and Trader Joe’s— two new gourmet grocers who will bolster the already convenient array along Southlake Boulevard. In this issue we take a look at the area’s new and established specialty grocers in hopes to better integrate their fresh offerings into our homes.

And, in an effort to help get your year off to a good start, we gathered a few of Southlake’s resident advisors to motivate us to turn our resolutions into reality. If you are like most Americans, you have already resolved to lose weight, spend more time with family, save money and take up a new hobby in the year ahead. We posed the questions to our Resolution Round Table, and they have answered the call with some helpful tips.

Believe it or not, all of these resolutions can be met with the simple choice to eat more meals together at home. Preparing and eating meals creates the family time while choosing the right ingredients can spare some change and a few unnecessary calories.

Whether you prefer paper or plastic, achieving your New Year’s resolutions can literally be in the bag.

Yours in Southlake Style,

room AMERICAN SNIPER IN THEATERS JANUARY 16 Lethal Weapon Based on the autobiography of the same name, “American Sniper” tells the story of former Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Known as the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history with 150 confirmed kills, Texas native Kyle (Bradley Cooper) served four tours of duty in Iraq. Released almost two years after Kyle’s untimely death at a Stephenville, Texas, gunrange in 2013, this film is directed by Clint Eastwood. Primarily focusing on Kyle’s military service abroad, the film also explores how he juggled his service life with his family life back in the states.

SMALL MOVE, BIG CHANGE CAROLINE ARNOLD Resolution Evolution Everyone makes resolutions, but most of the things you resolve to do—just don’t get done. You may aspire to get organized or manage your money better, but for some reason, it just isn’t happening. As a managing director at a leading Wall Street investment bank, author Caroline Arnold knows a thing or two about time management, organization and setting goals. In “Small Move, Big Change” Arnold encourages readers to focus on the specifics—she calls them “microresolutions”—in order to achieve permanent change.

THE ODD COUPLE

BLACKHAT IN THEATERS JANUARY 16 Online Insecurity Given a temporary get-out-ofjail free card, Nicholas Hathaway, played by Chris Hemsworth, becomes a globetrotting arm of the law. Working with both the American and Chinese authorities, Hathaway works to track down cyber criminals in a chase that takes him from Chicago to Hong Kong. Directed

by Michael Mann, this thriller also stars Viola Davis.

Unlikely Friends Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple” comes to life on the small screen this time around. The couple, Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) and Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon)—who were friends in college—end up as roommates years later. Both are divorced, and although Oscar may have a lot going for him, when Felix moves in he quickly sees he might have made a mistake—Oscar is somewhat of a slob.

community MADISON LILLEY AWARDED ATHLETE OF THE YEAR HONORS The City of Southlake Parks and Recreation Department announced its 2014 Female Athlete of the Year. Madison Lilley, 13, was given the prestigious award by recreation coordinator Amy Bennett. Each city can select up to two (male and female) athletes to submit for the regional and state Athlete of the Year Award.

Madison is an eighth grader at St. Vincent's School in Bedford and has been swimming since she was 7 years old. She says she was very happy to have received the award given the importance of the honor. "I had never dreamed I would actually win any sort of award like this," Madison says. "It is an honor to have been given this award. It just tells me that all of my aspirations, goals, and my drive to get better have all paid off."

According to Bennett, the Athlete of the Year award is given in conjunction with the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (T.A.A.F.), and the award was established in 1996 to honor outstanding athletes for their participation in T.A.A.F., a nonprofit organization established in 1925 to promote, organize and conduct amateur athletics in the state of Texas.

DRAGON FOOTBALL SEASON FINISHES STRONG WITH 26 ALL-DISTRICT NODS The 6A Texas state playoffs matched up the Dragons against the Cedar Hill squad, and many fans expected a typical Texas-style shootout, but Carroll came up short against the Longhorns in the quarterfinal round. Fans in attendance at SMU’s Gerald J. Ford Stadium in December were not disappointed, however. The 62–42 final score was testament to how hard the Dragons fought to finish the season with a 13–1 record.

In addition to the outstanding season, 26 Dragon players and coaching staff were named to the 7-6A All-District Team. Led by District MVP Ryan Agnew, Defensive MVP King Newton and twoway star Tariq Gordon, the 2014 varsity football team dominated the inaugural 7-6A All-District Team. MVP Ryan Agnew finished the year throwing 223–335 for 3,197 yards and 22 TDs. He had an additional 533 rushing yards and seven touchdowns rushing to his impressive senior season. Defensive MVP King Newton led his team with 22 pressures while logging five sacks and 79 tackles. The first team defense also included two unanimous selections in linebackers Joel McClellan and Clark Parr. For a complete list of All-Distric Dragons, visit SouthlakeStyle.com.

CARROLL ISD EMBRACES STEAM INITIATIVES, SKYPES WITH NASA SPECIALISTS Students from Walnut Grove Elementary School, Eubanks Intermediate, Durham Intermediate School and Dawson Middle School made history at the NASA Multiscale Magnetosphere Social Event at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The Carroll ISD students were given the opportunity to ask top scientists program directors, engineers and helophysics experts via Skype questions about the mission activities, space weather, the sun and magnetism.

This is the first time any group of students was granted this rare opportunity.

"The NASA MMS Mission is scheduled to launch on March 12," said district instructional technologist Jennifer Miller, who has worked with NASA. "I was invited to NASA to view the spacecraft and cleanroom in October. I decided to take the opportunity to bring Carroll ISD students with me and was successful at connecting four campuses with mission officials at the Goddard Flight center."

LOCAL CHARITY PROVIDES LEARNING AND NURTURING PROGRAMS FOR AREA CHILDREN The programs sponsored by the Community Storehouse benefit those in the Keller, Colleyville and Southlake communities.

The charity covers more than 300 square miles and affects a large number of families and, most importantly, children. This includes events to help children improve their reading skills and a program that provides breakfast and lunch for kids during the school year.

“Community Storehouse is focused on the education and well being of the children in our community—providing the basic essentials and educational programs so children can remain and be successful in the classroom,” Stiller says. “This year we are projected to provide almost 43,000 services. We are here 365 days of the year providing educational programs to help children succeed in school.”

SOUTHLAKE BOYS CROSS COUNTRY FINISHES 19TH IN THE NATION The seven-member boys Southlake team competed against the best runners in the nation at Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) in Portland, Oregon on Dec. 6 and came away 19th in the nation.

This is the 11th year that Nike has hosted this prestigious meet for the top two boys and top two girls teams in each of the eight regions around the country.

The boy’s team entered the NXN as the South Region champions and placed 19th. Eli Canal captured 85th place, Reed Brown came in 99th, Ansel Richards crossed the line next for the Southlake boys in 117th place, Eric Karl 143rd, Michael Waugh 152nd, Johnny Kemps 169th and Timou Toure 187th.

“The Nike Cross Nationals meet is the best possible way to end the season or a high school career, and we couldn’t be more proud of the boys’ entire season,” said head coach Justin Leonard.

“Only .0008 percent of high school runners have the opportunity to compete at a meet of this magnitude. Its remarkable to think our boys team has qualified eight times and the girls team has qualified nine times out of the 11 years of its existence. It was a great season, and I can’t wait until next year.”

MIRACLE LEAGUE COACHED BY TEXAS RANGERS AT BASEBALL CLINIC Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo hosted a baseball clinic for 15 Southlake Miracle League kids at Carroll Senior High School. Steve Buechele, newly named bench coach for the Rangers, and Tanner Scheppers, Rangers pitcher, joined Shin-Soo. With a career batting average of .282, Shin-Soo is a nine-year MLB veteran who joined the Rangers as an outfielder in 2014.

During the Miracle League baseball clinic, participants received coaching on batting, throwing and fielding. In addition, each camper was given a Texas Rangers backpack, as well as a jersey, autographed baseball and a signed baseball card

by Shin-Soo, who was accompanied by his sons.

Southlake Carroll baseball players served as buddies to the Miracle League kids.

The mission of the Miracle League of Southlake is to “provide opportunities for children with disabilities to play baseball, regardless of ability; promote community support and sponsorship of Miracle Leagues; and promote the construction of special facilities that meet the unique needs of Miracle League players and their families.”

SABRE HOLDINGS MAKES LIST OF HAPPIEST COMPANIES IN AMERICA In late December, CareerBliss announced its fifth annual Happiest Companies in America list, and Sabre Holdings ranked No. 31. Led by Johnson and Johnson (No. 1), the list had other notable, local companies: Texas Instruments (No. 4) and Fidelity Investments (No. 11—they have a large training facility in Westlake.) Walt Disney Company, which is known as the happiest place on earth, ranked in the lower third, and Apple came in at No. 50.

Professionals submitted thousands of reviews in 2013 and 2014 asking them to rate their employers on eight factors affecting happiness at work. Work-life balance, the relationship with your boss, the relationship with your coworkers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities and company culture were all rated on a five-point scale. Those numbers were combined to find an average rating, and thus the companies were ranked.

Headquartered in Southlake, Sabre is a leading technology provider to the global travel and tourism industry. Their software, data, mobile and distribution solutions are used by hundreds of airlines and thousands of hotel properties to manage critical operations, such as passenger and guest reservations, revenue management, and flight, network and crew management.

LOCAL BBQ LOVERS REJOICE OVER FEEDSTORE BBQ RE-OPENING As of December, Feedstore BBQ is now open to the public after a remodel.

After their long-awaited re-entry into the finger-licking good marketplace, the restaurant is ready to serve their loyal fan base that has been waiting in the wings.

Located at 530 S. White Chapel, the restaurant’s remodel has added more space in the kitchen and a large covered patio. In addition the remodel has made way for a more efficient system of getting customers in and seated—they have revamped the serving line.

AREA GROCERS

By February, Southlake and surrounding towns will be home to a virtual cornucopia of specialty and natural foods grocers—Central Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, The Fresh Market and Sprouts. You might be tempted to think they’re all the same, but like siblings, each one has its own traits and quirks. Lucky for you, we’re here to help sort out the kale from the chard in this increasingly competitive field.

growing CHoiCES Trader Joe i s: Opens in Southlake Feb 20 I

The Gist: This California-born chain prides itself on offering high-quality gourmet and specialty goods you can’t find anywhere else—at low prices around.

Best To Shop When: You want to cheat on your go-to meals and snacks, but don’t want to feel guilty about it. With low-prices, a curated selection of delicious goods, and even a “Reduced Guilt” line of low-cal items, Trader Joe’s has you covered.

Trader Joe’s Says: “When we were founded, we started packaging innovative, hard-to-find, great-tasting foods under the ‘Trader Joe’s’ name. That cut our costs and saved you money. Still does. And that’s important, because ‘value’ is a concept we take very seriously,” says Trader Joe’s Website (Trader Joes does not comment on store openings and declined an interview).

Did You Know? Looking for something specific? If you see something that looks suspiciously similar to your favorite name-

brand item, chances are it is, in fact, that name-brand item, from the same source, but with Trader Joe’s packaging.

Special Tip: Don’t get turned off by Trader Joe’s small foot-print. What it lacks in space, it makes up for the highest amount of must-haves per square foot that we’ve ever seen. Be prepared to stock up on snacks and finger foods that you never knew existed—and had no idea how much you needed—like Cookie Butter, Almond Cocoa, Pirate’s Booty and more.

Don’t Miss: Famous for its low prices on high-quality vino, Trader Joe’s provides an excellent selection of tasty local and imported beers as well. Whatever your poison, you’re likely to find a new favorite (or three).

Can’t Live Without: Trader Joe’s ReducedGuilt Greek Yogurt Spinach Kale dip. At 40 calories a serving, never has something that tasted so unhealthy been so good for you.

Sprouts Farmer is Market — Central Market Southlake Southlake The Gist: The fastest-growing grocery chain in the United States combines the value and feel of a farmer’s market with the added convenience of traditional grocery-store aisles.

The Gist: This Texas-grown H-E-B offshoot provides everything that home chef could possibly need inside a traditional grocery store.

Best To Shop When: You recently crunched the numbers and couldn’t believe the staggering amount of money you spend on food. It’s time to cut costs, and you want a healthy, down-to-earth and friendly place to do so.

Best To Shop When: You’re ready to get out of your rut of a dinner routine, or you simply want to wow your next dinner guest with newfound culinary prowess—Central Market has your back with inspiration, information and ingredients.

Sprouts Says: “What’s unique about Sprouts is that we’re positioned at the intersection of health and value,” Donna Egan, Sprout’s director of communications, told us. “For years, healthy food has been largely unaffordable for the average grocery shopper. What Sprouts has done is offered everyday low pricing on those fresh, natural and organic items.”

Central Market Says: “Here in Southlake, we are a neighborhood grocery store,” says Heather Senter, public relations representative for Central Market. “People come here for their staples, but we’re dedicated to helping customers in being cooks. If an ingredient appears in a recipe, we’re going to have it.”

Did You Know? Sprouts is known for its produce, and prides itself on heavily sourcing from local farms, perhaps one of the reasons it keeps prices lower than competitors.

Did You Know? Central Market delivers on variety, ensuring the home chef will have plenty of options. If you haven’t experienced the Central Market cheese aisle, be prepared for an overwhelming selection of more than 400 varieties. That’s to say nothing of the 20 varieties of shrimp, 255 types of pepper and dozens of varieties of apples, just to name a few.

Special Tip: For the gluten-intolerant, Sprouts gathers all the gluten-free products into one section, rather than spreading them through the store.

Don’t Miss: Visit the Old-Tyme Butcher Shop, where real butchers will help you find the best cuts of meat—and don’t miss the over 20 varieties of in-store hand-ground sausages.

Can’t Live Without: The Bulk-Foods section. It’s not just about value in this expansive section of self-serve bins; it’s about variety—with bins for everything from gummy candies and dried fruit to quinoa and flax seed. And there’s something about measuring out your own food—and the lack of extra packaging—that makes you feel better about the purchase.

Special Tip: Tired of trips to more than one grocery store?

Here you’ll find a selection of traditional grocery store staples in addition to the specialty products.

Don’t Miss: All the home-town paraphernalia, including an outdoor playground with a Green Dragon, and of course, the sweet and tart Green Dragon apple available in the produce section.

Can’t Live Without: Love Dip, available in the dip bar. The recipe of herbs that go into this creamy dip is kept hush-hush and for good reason—love never tasted so good.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT The Fresh Market Opens in Southlake Jan 14 I

The Gist: Opening Jan. 14 in Southlake, this North Carolina–born store combines high-quality and specialty goods with every amenity taken care of—all served up with healthy slice of Southern Hospitality Best To Shop When: You’ve got a dull headache from rushing through the day, and a grocery store trip is sure to trigger a migraine. The Fresh Market’s abundant amenities, soft classical music and beautiful displays (we dare you to find an overripe piece of produce) will sooth your senses.

The Fresh Market Says: “We define ourselves as a gourmet specialty market with a focus on high quality products and customer service,” says Rachel Booker, Fresh Market new store hire coordinator. “Our stores are smaller in size. We have dimmed lights, classical music, beautiful floors and coffee samples all-day. Our stores focus more on interaction. You feel like you’ve walked into grandma’s house, and you know us, and we know you. It’s not like you walk in the store and can’t see the end of it.”

Did You Know? While you might not find the largest selection of any given item at The Fresh Market, what you will find is products of the highest quality, and a focus on locally and regionally sourced products. Be on the lookout for special tags noting products that originated within 100 miles and 300 miles of Southlake.

Special Tip: Unsure if you want to purchase something?

From produce to bags of chips, every item in the store is sample-able, just ask one of the staff to open it up for you. Are you a sample lover?

Be one of the first 1,000 customers when the store opens on Jan. 14 and snag a free gift bag of the stores best items.

Don’t Miss: From fresh cookies for kids to complementary umbrellas and grocery walk-out service, this store doesn’t miss any opportunity to make you feel well taken care of.

Can’t Live Without: Kitchen Sink Cookies. These delicious concoctions roll all your favorite cookies into one, with rolled oats, white chocolate, dark chocolate, nut and raisins rounding out the ingredient list.

Whole Foods Market Colleyville The Gist: Founded in Austin in 1980, Whole Foods came to Colleyville in July 2014. The store is considered to be the final word on what healthy and sustainable means and drives eco-friendly standards in the industry.

Best To Shop When: You’re finally ready to treat your body as the temple that it is while still honoring your taste buds—and when you really want to know exactly where your salmon came from.

Whole Foods says: “The overarching theme about Whole Foods Market that makes us different than ordinary grocers is that element of choice,” says Paul Marty, Colleyville store manager. “We started a produce-rating program and animal-welfare rating system in our meat department. Even our cleaning products have a rating system. For people to whom the eco-system is important, or for people who are are concerned about what’s in the food, it’s their choice. We don’t tell our guests what to buy, but we want to offer that choice.”

Did You Know? Want to get on the health-food train, but don’t feel like you can afford the ticket?

Be sure to check out the value tour at the store (or take a virtual value tour online), keep an eye out for their weekend sales and pick up the store’s bi-monthly value book for extra savings.

Special Tip: Whole Foods definitely goes the extra mile when it comes to convenience. Don’t want to spend your time wandering the aisles? Call the concierge desk to have the shopping done for you for a nominal charge. Need to get some shopping done sans kiddos? Head to Whole Foods at 11 a.m. on Monday during story time. The kiddos will be entertained with a reading and a snack, while you knock out your grocery list in record time.

Don’t Miss: The authentic Neopolitan Pizza Oven, which cooks pizzas at 900 degrees in 90 seconds. Each pizza is built to exacting standards set by the experts in Naples, and the pizza bakers are specially trained. Kids will love the wonder of a fast-food style pizza, and you can revel in all of its delicious flavors.

Can’t Live Without: The BBQ Bar. We regularly walk right past the gourmet salad bars and delicious ready-to-eat concoctions for what is, possibly, the most wonderful thing we’ve ever found in a grocery store—a place where we can fill our lunch pail up with mouth-watering ribs, brisket and sausage.

aking his way from room to room to see his patients, Dr. Bob takes extra time to ensure each patient gets special attention. He checks hearing aids, cochlear implants, the condition of post-surgical middle ear reconstruction and a variety of other complex ear problems. You won’t just see older adults suffering from hearing loss; you’ll also see 10-year-old Adam toting his large musical instrument cases. Otologist and neurotologist Robert (Dr. Bob) Owens, M.D., gave Adam, now a budding musician, a cochlear implant at age 3 and a half.

After his residency training at West Virginia University Hospitals, Dr. Bob went on to complete a competitive, twoyear fellowship in the management of pediatric and adult hearing disorders at the House Ear Clinic in Los Angeles.

He then entered into practice with his father at Owens Ear Center. Dr. Bob is not only a Southlake resident, but performs many of his pediatric surgeries at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Southlake. He work with both adults and children with complex ear problems, and has treated thousands of patients from all over the state, performing more than 700 ear surgeries each year.

At the time Adam’s parents discovered his hearing loss, Adam was still too young to communicate the severity of his condition, thought it was clear that it was rapidly getting worse. Hearing aids only frustrated Adam, and eventually, at age 3, he was given a cochlear implant by Dr. Bob. “When Adam needed surgery, we knew we were in the most capable hands in town,” says Adam’s father Don Chamblee. Now age 10, Adam is not only speaking normally, but also listening to music, singing, and playing viola and saxophone—all rare achievements for a cochlear implant patient.

The work Dr. Bob does with cochlear implants, specifically, is life changing, especially for the pediatric patients. “The first thing we noticed at age 2 was that she wasn't developing speech,” says Erin Ross, mother of now 3-year-old Ashling.

“She went through speech therapy and was fitted with hearing aids. However, on one of her visits to check on the hearing aids, we found that her hearing loss was progressing. It was at that time that I talked with Dr. Bob about the next step—cochlear implants.”

Three-year-old Ashling received cochlear implants in her left and right ears in 2014, and is now developing her speech and talking. “I am very thankful for Dr. Bob,” Erin says. “He has helped a lot of people, but I feel the work he does with cochlear implants is the best. He has given me my little girl’s voice.”

As a surgeon, Dr. Bob explains, you always want to do everything you can, no matter what age you are working with.

However, with a child, there are other factors that come into

Auditioning for a reality TV music competition has been Madi Davis’ dream for the past 10 years, and she wasn’t going to let ear infections, hearing loss and middle ear reconstruction surgery hold her back. Now 15 years old, Madi is writing her own music, playing guitar, singing and, that’s right, auditioning The Voice.

After unsuccessful attempts with a hearing aid, Adam Chamblee was given a cochlear implant at age 3. Now, at 10 years old, Adam is excelling musically. "He listens to music, sings, plays viola and saxophone,” said Adam’s dad, Don. “All which are rare abilities for a cochlear implant patient.”

play. “If you can fix the problem right the first time, then maybe the child won’t have a lifetime of problems with their ear condition,” Dr. Owens says. “If we can get to them first and have a very good outcome, then maybe that kid will never have to have surgery the rest of their life.”

The children Dr. Bob has helped have their whole lives ahead of them, and thanks to him they have a chance to pursue their dreams. Fifteen-year-old Madi Davis, who has been a patient of Dr. Bob for 10 years, knows a thing or two about pursuing lifelong dreams.

Sitting in front of the television watching a talent reality show at age 6, Madi Davis made the decision right then to pursue a musical career. However, Madi suffered severe hearing loss. With a history of ear complications from birth, Madi’s symptoms had only worsened. When she saw Dr. Bob, at age 5, Madi had almost complete hearing loss in both ears. After a handful of successful surgeries to remove tissue growth and repair the middle ears, Madi remembers that things finally started to turn around. “I thought I was just a bad student,” Madi recalls. “But it turns out, because I couldn’t hear the teachers, I struggled. Once my hearing improved, I excelled in school.”

And Madi didn’t just making strides as a student.

The musical ambitions she had at such an early age came to fruition. Over the years, choir led to piano, and piano led to guitar, and soon she was writing her own music. Recently, at age 15, Madi auditioned for The Voice, and she’ll be traveling to San Francisco in the coming months for her second call back. Madi is quick to attribute her successes, in part, to Dr. Bob. “I don’t think I could do any of the things I am doing now without him,” Madi says. “Simply put, I couldn’t write music if I couldn’t hear, and I wouldn’t be where I am today experiencing what I am if it weren’t for Dr. Bob.” Madi is a good example of a young patient Dr. Bob was able to help early on, who now just sees him for regular check-ups. “We like to see kids first, because we hope that what we do sets them up so that they really don’t need us the rest of their life. Sometimes, when seeing adult patients, I say to myself, ‘I wish this person would have come to me when they were 7 instead of 35. If I would’ve been able to see them as a patient earlier, maybe they wouldn’t have had this for the past 28 years.’”

“There is a great deal of satisfaction when you see a child who was not able to lead a normal life because of their hearing or ear condition, and we are able to improve that or eliminate a problem that was holding a child back.” -Dr. Robert Owens A now vibrant 3-year-old, Ashling Ross began having problems with her speech at age 2. Ashling’s mom, Erin, is an employee of Dr. Owens and recognized right away there could be a hearing problem. After cochlear implants in 2014, Ashling’s speech is improving.

FOOTBALL FANATIC A BRAVE 8-YEAR-OLD TACKLES RARE BLOOD DISORDER

T

he last day of school before summer break ended like any other. In June 2013 8-year-old Braden Allison left class and headed over to a friend’s house in his neighborhood to play outside. When Braden’s mom, Jill, picked him up, she knew something was wrong. As he tried to get into the car, Braden told his mom that his legs hurt so bad, he couldn’t move them. They returned home, where the pain of shifting positions while seated brought Braden to tears. Jill thought Braden had simply hurt himself while playing. But over the next few days, Braden began to run a fever.

After two trips to the doctor and one phone call to a pediatrician friend, Jill took Braden to Cook Children’s Hospital, where he was promptly admitted and given a course of IV antibiotics—the doctor assumed the young boy was suffering from an infection. But many tests administered over the next two weeks revealed nothing wrong. They called in another doctor for a second consult, and as Jill recalls, “I will never forget her saying, ‘I wonder if he has HLH?’” Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, or HLH, is a rare blood disease in which the immune system goes into overdrive. Cases of HLH begin with the patient fighting a normal infection or virus. The immune system begins by targeting bad cells, but eventually starts attacking the good ones, too.

“It is impossible to know when exactly this took over [Braden’s body] or what the initial illness even was,” Jill said. “But it is life-threatening if not treated.”

After a blood test and a bone-marrow test, the hematologist confirmed Braden had HLH. Meanwhile, Braden had gotten so ill he to be admitted to the ICU. They started him on chemotherapy and steroids that night. While HLH isn’t cancer, a side effect of chemotherapy treats the illness. It shuts down the immune system, which allows it to reset.

Thankfully, this treatment worked for Braden, who faced a bone-marrow transplant if it did not.

After four days in ICU, Braden started improving, and he moved to the hematology/oncology floor for the next two weeks. He spent 32 days at Cook Children’s before he was finally able to return home.

“The Cook Children’s staff saved Braden’s life,” Jill says, noting that they relied on Cook Children’s throughout the recovery process. “The staff at the Cook Children’s Hematology/Oncology clinic in Grapevine played an important role. Everyone in the clinic was so nice and accommodating from the minute we walked in. We felt like part of the family there right away.”

For Braden, the best thing about beating HLH was that he was able to watch his favorite football team play again—the Carroll Dragons. Because his immune system was compromised, Braden missed much of his second grade year, and in addition, couldn’t attend events such as football games. However, the school worked with the family to ensure Braden could become the vibrant third grader he is today—a third grader who not only gets to play his favorite sport, football, but also cheer on his favorite team.

Nine-year-old Braden Allison says that for “as long as he can remember,” he has been a Southlake Dragon fan.

“I love that they are so good at all the sports they play.”

An avid football player himself, Braden was forced to take some time off a few years ago. A rare blood disorder, HLH, landed him in the hospital in 2013, and as a result Braden underwent chemotherapy. During that time Braden was granted a wish from the Make A Wish Foundation. His wish was to travel to the big game Feb. 1, so he and his family packed up and headed to Arizona this past month to cheer on his second favorite football team.

THE LIVES WE LEAD DISTRICT-WIDE PROGRAM ASSISTS DIA

R

eading, writing and recess. Those things are on the mind of most kids during the school day. But for some, there are other things more important than who gets to the playground first.

First grader Lucas has to think about what finger he’s supposed to prick to test his blood sugar, and eighth grader Liam has to plan out his carbohydrate intake before lunch. Both have type 1 diabetes and must monitor and treat their condition while at school.

Treatment for type 1 diabetes requires regular blood-sugar checks, insulin injections and food intake monitoring. In addition, diabetics need access to water and snacks as necessary to control symptoms and possible complications. Seeing a need for this in the district, Keller ISD began the Safe in School program.

“The Safe in School program was implemented as a district policy due to the number of diabetic students in the district,” says Rhonda Hendricks, RN, of Keller Harvel Elementary—and Lucas’ school nurse.

“The policy is used as a safety measure and allows students structure and the ability to test in the classroom. It also provides trained individuals to assist in care on campus when a nurse is not available and to attend field trips and other off-campus activities when a nurse is not available.”

Although Liam’s family resides in Southlake, they are in the Keller school district zone. “We’ve dealt with Keller ISD elementary, intermediate and now middle school, and we’ve never had a problem,” says Traci Rhodes, Liam’s mom. “The school district is phenomenal. From the top down, the nurses always tell us, ‘You tell us what you need, and we will provide.’”

Melinda Baker, RN works with another diabetic student at the high school level, Taylor. Active in sports, Taylor is on the varsity golf team.

Taylor visits Nurse Baker every afternoon before golf to make sure she is in the right condition to play. If any red flags are raised, Taylor must forgo golf for the day. “I feel very comfortable with the school,” says Sarah Robinson, Taylor’s mom. “If it were not for the special training her teachers and coaches received, Taylor might not have the opportunity for a normal school life.”

But the interaction the school nurses have with these students goes above and beyond just managing their symptoms. They have the unique opportunity to help these students learn how to better manage their condition with long-term benefits. “Nurse Rhonda shows Lucas the little nuances of treating his condition, such as rotating fingers for testing,” says Gaye Montemayor, Lucas’ mom.

At such a young age, Lucas is still learning how to care for himself when it comes to his diabetes. Thanks to the trained care he receives at school, he has reached a significant milestone. Lucas knows to alert his teacher or nurse if he is not feeling well.

And lucky for Lucas, thanks to their Safe in School training, the teachers and nurses at his school know exactly what to do to help him.

For most, living with type 1 diabetes is a daily reminder that you have to do some things differently in life. You can imagine that for children, who want so badly to fit in and be “normal,” being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes can be a struggle. But thanks to a Keller ISD district-wide program, kids with type 1 diabetes can attend a mainstream school and still get the care they need. Not only can the students feel safe while at school, but they can manage their symptoms without drawing a lot of attention and most importantly to them, “fit in.”

“This program ensures safety and flexibility for the diabetic students,” says School nurse Rhonda Hicks at Keller Harvel Elementary. “Under this policy the students, with doctor and parental permission, are allowed to test their blood glucose levels outside the clinic in classrooms and other areas.

This minimizes the time missed from class and gives the student more control of their disease.”

Jenny and Bryan Whatley, co-owners of NexGen Fitness Southlake

NEXGEN FITNESS T R A N S F O R M I N G S O U T H L A K E Are you wondering why you don’t see results even after killing yourself at the gym, eating only grapefruit or protein, or following the latest “get fit quick” plan being touted in the media? The truth is there is no “one size fits all” formula for getting in shape. While we all want to be fit, the way we get there is as individual as we are, or at least it should be. Enter NexGen Fitness—personal training that provides a state-of-the-art alternative to mass-marketed fitness by designing a program that is as unique as each client.

MEET THE CO-OWNERS Bryan and Jenny Whatley, co-owners of NexGen Fitness Southlake, are no newcomers to the fitness industry. Bryan holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology, while Jenny earned her Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy, both from the University of Oklahoma. Bryan is also a certified personal trainer by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), one of the most rigorous personal training certification programs in the country. ” It’s clear that NexGen has all the right tools to help Southlake residents meet and exceed their fitness goals.

“We have handpicked the most educated and experienced trainers, and they have helped thousands of clients to reach every imaginable goal,” Bryan says. “We have a unique opportunity to impact and completely transform the lives of

our clients and our community, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.

We know the science behind what we recommend for our clients, which allows us to confidently guarantee results.”

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU The NexGen experience is nothing like what you will find at a typical gym. There are no initiation fees or monthly dues—clients only pay for sessions with their trainer. Sessions are trained in private, fully equipped personal training suites, which are never shared with a stranger. Clients are also welcome to use the cardio equipment at the facility at their convenience for free. “In addition, there’s no wait for equipment because the spots have been reserved for each individual—or for them and a friend or their spouse,” Bryan notes. “Another advantage of coming to NexGen is that you avoid the uncomfortable feeling that can be experienced at larger gyms. There is no need to feel self-conscious at NexGen. Our clients have a trainer by their side every step of the way. The trainers are always positive and very encouraging—not that they won’t challenge you, but you will have a blast and enjoy the energy here. The camaraderie we have with one another and with our clients makes it a great place to workout. Even people who’ve never enjoyed exercising like coming here. We’re just having that good of a time.”

THE NEXT GENERATION OF PERSONAL TRAINING NexGen also offers the most advanced testing in the industry and cuttingedge nutritional guidance. “We give clients all the tools necessary to be successful,” Bryan says. “First, we perform an in-depth assessment in which we

test the metabolic rate, body fat percentage, anaerobic threshold, strength, endurance and flexibility of each client. We then listen to our client’s goals and challenges, formulating all of this into a plan designed to ensure they meet their individual goals,” says Bryan.

“Whether a client’s goal is weight loss, health improvements, sports specific training or rehabbing an injury, we work with their specific situation.”

Each personalized plan will incorporate all areas needed to succeed. “Not only do our trainers provide unmatched workouts and tons of accountability, but we also provide our clients with a free personalized NexGen IGNITE™ cardio program.”

This revolutionary program was designed after a decade of study, and practical application with thousands of clients. It is designed to eliminate all guesswork and ensure results. “Our NexGen NUTRITION™ app is available on both Apple and Android devices. This app allows our trainers to customize diets and provide nutritional accountability, even when clients are not in our studio. We also offer optional meetings with a registered dietitian for those who may have allergy limitations or need additional nutritional guidance,” Bryan adds.

In addition, NexGen provides a progressive training program, which means every eight weeks clients are reassessed and programs are adjusted to accommodate improvements, thereby avoiding plateaus. “We have many checks and balances to keep clients accountable,” Bryan says. “A large part of our job is

educating our clients, and of course providing accountability. Having an appointment with a trainer holds clients accountable and keeps them consistent with their workouts.”

EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE Come experience the NexGen difference for free, with a complimentary training session. “Come try us out,” Bryan says, “no matter what your fitness goals are or where you are on your fitness journey, our targeted, custom-designed programs will get you the results you want—guaranteed!”

THE RESOLUTION

esolutions are so last year. The statistics have spoken, and they have given you no choice but to change your thinking regarding this dreaded New Year task. “Around 78 percent of resolutions are broken within the first 30 days of making them,” says Life Coach Rick Kolster of Peak Performance Group.

Rick offers a better way to get where you want to be in life—this year and beyond. He says to turn every huge resolution into a set of mini achievements.

“It is better to establish smaller goals with specific timeframes that are attainable,” Rick says. “The biggest reason that resolutions fail is that they aren’t clear enough or defined enough. Write down all you want to happen in the year, and be specific.”

The experts at our resolution roundtable all gave similar advice on how to attain your goals for the New Year. Interestingly enough, the steps they gave work well under anyone’s expertise umbrella—whether that’s health, wealth or happiness.

50

Here’s to your health Most resolution lists feature a health-focused goal— whether that is to lose pounds, clean up your diet, or alter your fitness routine. Fortunately, expert Harold Wilson, the fitness director at Impact Fitness in Southlake, offers an easy way to make those goals a reality, with a few smaller steps.

First of all, Wilson says, take a look at your nutrition habits, by resolving to keep a food log. This will give you all the information you need to decide how you want to change your diet.

“But don’t just decide to eat carrots to get skinny,” Harold says. “Plan to incorporate good eating habits on a consistent basis.”

By Amy Reisner Photography by BlueDoor Studios

Keeping track of your caloric intake is an important step as well. “Everybody wants to add up the calories they’ve burned,” Harold explains, “but it’s not as fun to count up what you consume.” When you consider how often you might eat at a restaurant, this may seem like a daunting task. However, as Harold bluntly advises, your best bet is to “stay out of restaurants.” That’s the No. 1 piece of advice he would give to changing your eating habits.

After planning your menu—best prepared at home, Harold notes—you can move onto the fitness side of the coin. If you can’t remember the last time you exercised (even if it was as far back as middle school), start out simple and focus on consistency more than anything else. “Since learning how to make exercise a consistent part of your life is paramount, find something easy— something you like: yoga, going to the gym or running laps,” he says. “The important thing is to make it stick.

Adding an exercise routine to your life needs to become habit.”

Here’s to your wealth Coming in a close second to health and wellness resolutions would be money management. For those aspiring to save more or pay off debt, we asked Mark Jones, CEO of First Finan-

cial Bank in Southlake, to share ideas for easy steps to success.

You can’t make money grow on a tree, so Jones suggests resolving to look at your current spending. “Review each of your expenses, and see where you can cut back, even just a little. Do you really need 1,000 channels on TV only to find there is still nothing on? Can you adjust your thermostat even one degree? Little savings add up.”

Next, take time to divide and conquer—your investments. “Make sure you are participating in your company’s 401K and maximizing your investment there,” Mark says, noting it’s a good way to diversify your portfolio. “Many companies match funds up to certain amounts so you double your investment immediately. Additionally, review your investment portfolio, sell your losers, rethink your strategy, and go for the long haul, not the getrich-quick scheme.”

With that being said, it can’t be all work and no —Life Coach: play, right? “Take the time to spend some money on yourself, and enjoy the fruits of your labor,” Jones says.

“Too much focus on savings can lead to frustration and a quick end to your strategy. Like dieting, think about investing for the long haul, not just as a passing fad.”

Breaking your goal into small, attainable pieces can work in the non-profit arena as well, says Shonda Schaefer, Executive Director of GRACE, a non-profit in Northeast Tarrant County.

“Start with the web,” Shonda says. “There are many neutral websites that have lists of non-profits for you to connect with. Usually, these lists features valid 501(c)(3) organizations, so you don’t have to worry about wasting your time and efforts with a non-reputable group.”

Once you find an orgaRick Kolster nization in your area that seems like a good fit, visit their website or give them a call to find out if they have orientation. “At GRACE we have sessions that give volunteers an idea of the work they can and will be doing,” Shonda says.

“Often times people are unaware that their specific talent is exactly what an organization may need,” she notes. “For example, those in corporate America may not think their talents would be of use. But maybe they really like to work with their hands—building things. At orientation they will find out exactly what opportunities there are. Don’t discount an organization just because you think you have nothing to offer.”

Which leads us to Shonda’s main message. “Think of what your passion is and give

“Around 78 percent of resolutions are broken within the first 30 days of making them.”

Here’s to helping others Many desire to spend more time volunteering, resolving in the New Year to engage in non-profit work. However, if you’ve never volunteered before or have done so intermittently, it may seem like an overwhelming goal to accomplish.

Gloria Currie: Travel Advisor

in that area. You and the organization will get so much more out of the experience if you are engaging in what you love to do.”

And here’s to seeing the world Then there’s that voice in your head telling you to enjoy the year, in addition to putting hard work into losing weight, saving money and helping others.

Vacation expert Gloria Currie of Cruise Holidays says we all deserve some time off. “Take time for yourself and get out of the office.

Spend some time with someone special, whether that is family or friends.”

Taking a trip is an

Rick Kolster: Life Coach

important way for many people to banish stress, but don’t let trip preparation details bog you down, break this one into smaller goals with the help of a professional. After all, in order to get what you really want, planning ahead is key.

You’ll get better information regarding where to stay and what to do, which can make all the difference in the world. And as far as making that travel budget goes?

“Make it something you want to do,” Gloria says. “It is not about price as it is as much about the value. The memories you will make are priceless!”

Change that tire!

In addition to the roundtable’s advice—all similar in nature—to plan and be consistent, they each had something to say about getting off track or falling or the wagon. Any way you put it, there are setbacks, and everyone with a dream or goal in mind has suffered one in their life. But our favorite analogy is one Harold shares.

“If you get a flat tire, you don’t jump out of the car and let the air out of all the others, right? You fix the flat and move on.”

Although mammography is an important screening for women, it may not be something she looks forward to. At Solis Mammography, however, everything they do is designed to make the Peace of Mind Mammogram™ as comfortable as possible. Dr. Forte not only provides women with a stress-free experience, she safeguards confidence with exceptionally accurate results.

Thaila Bratton Forte, M.D.

“The Affordable Care Act requires almost all insurance carriers to cover screening mammography with no copay regardless of deductible. In addition, a woman does not need a physician’s order to have her annual screening mammogram.”

The dedicated breast radiologists and technologists at Solis specialize only in breast imaging, making them the experts in mammography.

The staff is able to achieve accuracy through experience and the utilization of the latest technology. Solis offers 3D mammography, which has been proven to reduce “recalls,” adding additional peace of mind to the process. With these skills and techniques, it’s no wonder Solis has received the RadSite Network Imaging Certification (NIC) seal of Distinction.

Solis supports a number of philanthropic organizations, including Careity Foundation.

Preventative medicine plays an important role in monitoring and managing your health. Executive Medicine of Texas specializes in helping clients recognize this importance.

J. Mark Anderson, MD, DABFM; Walter Gaman, MD, FABFM

The goal of Executive Medicine is for you to stay young and healthy, which is achieved through a good patient physician relationship.

Dr. Gaman and Dr. Anderson know that as your doctor they must spend adequate time with you to understand your needs and serve you properly. With such a personal approach, it’s no wonder that both physicians were named Best Doctor in Texas by Newsweek.

NUTRITION/WEIGHT LOSS COUNSELING

SPECIAL SECTION

Individuals might be left wondering if going up an extra pants size is really that bad. Research shows that being overweight can have a negative effect on your health, says Jennifer McIntosh, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, of Medi-Weightloss Clinic.

Left to right: Heather McCanon, Coleen O'Neill, Jennifer McIntosh, Kathy Bright, Dylan Highfill

“Weight loss often can be too hard to do alone. If this is the case, you should reach out for help.”

Medi-Weightloss Clinic 601 E. Southlake Blvd., Ste. 200, Southlake 817.488.1956 • Mediweightloss.com/Southlake

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

If you are overweight you are at a higher risk for developing: heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, depression, infertility, liver disease and gallbladder disease. Being overweight can also affect your day-to-day life by making movement a little harder.

The extra weight can increase joint and back pain while at the same time decrease mobility, flexibility and stamina.

McIntosh encourages individuals to make a few changes and adopt a healthy lifestyle, which can help them reverse the negative side effects of being overweight. Medi-Weightloss Clinic offers a medically supervised program that has a weight loss average of 6.4 pounds the first week and 14 to 20 pounds the first month.

At Medi-Weightloss Clinic the staff is enthusiastic and positive while they help the patient lose weight and develop a healthier lifestyle. This attitude, coupled with the staff’s knowledge of nutrition and healthy habits, enhances the patient’s experience.

All in a Day’s Work Sjöberg’s Elite Professional—your garage’s newest accessory

I

Details Elite 2500 Workbench and Cupboard Combo: Price: $2730 Size: 99” by 29” Worktop size: 94” by 24” Weight: 390 pounds WoodCraft.com

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

f a man’s castle is his garage, then the workbench must be his throne. A good workbench must work hard, and look good doing it—and Sjöberg’s Elite Professional series delivers with strength, flexibility and undeniable Nordic beauty.

Designed for the most serious of weekend woodworkers, the Swedish-built Elite Professional is fully customizable and can accommodate even the most unwieldy of projects. Available in three sizes, the 1500 (59"), the 2000 (76") and the 2500 (99", pictured here), the bench offers as much, or as little, working space as you need. Several storage options, including the drawer and cabinet duo shown here, are available.

And don’t fret, southpaws, the adjustable clamps can be easily repositioned to accommodate both the right- and left-handed.

But let’s get down to some of the even better details.

Ultra-long 24-inch vises expand to hold up to 5" of material. The 2500 sports 40 dog holes, 1" in size, that run perpendicular to the clamps. The bench comes with four unbreakable steel bench dogs coated in rubber to protect materials and tools. And don’t miss out on the handy accessories, like a quick-release hold-

fast that can be inserted into any dog hole and used to clamp projects in place.

To the point, the Elite Professional adapts to your needs—no matter how large or complex they might be. And that gives us plenty of reason to love the Elite Professional, but it’s the care, quality and craftsmanship that goes into the bench that makes it a must-have item for any serious garage junkie.

The bench’s carefully selected European beechwood is handled with precision and care through all stages of the production process. After the wood is dried, it moves into a climate-controlled production facility with carefully maintained humidity levels. As the wood is fashioned into more than 100 parts, many of them made by hand, the controlled humidity ensures a perfect, precise fit. The wood is also treated with a special oil that will ensure it ages with grace.

Accessories are locally produced in Sweden, and the steel parts are hand-made by a local blacksmith. It all comes together to form a bench that is strong enough to hold 900 pounds of material—nearly half a ton— without bending or buckling. Chances are it can handle all of your most serious weekend projects with ease.

Audubon’s Menagerie AMON CARTER SHOWCASES WORK OF SCIENTIST/ARTIST

F

After John James Audubon (1785–1851), Printed by John T. Bowen (1801 ca. 1856), Bos americanus, Gmel, American Bison or Buffalo, 1845, Lithograph with applied watercolor, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas

Industrious field mice. Powerful bison. Frolicking squirrels.

Playful raccoons. The sheer number of species featured within the exhibit, as well as the detailed attention to each one, testifies to the artist’s dedication to his craft. Evoking both the friendly and frightening side of nature within his pieces, Audobon gives viewers an opportunity to see into the natural world he has captured and gain a better understanding of animals. You’ll also garner insight into Audubon’s keen sense of humor—demonstrated in prints like one depicting an ordinary mouse in a “natural” habitat—a kitchen counter—near a tempting slice of cheese.

“The Amon Carter is fortunate to have an extensive collection of works by Audubon both in book form in our library and as individual works on paper,” Adler notes. “Many places have his birds, but not many have such a rich gathering of his beasts!”

amed scientist and artist John James Audubon may be best known for his depictions of high-flying creatures, but it’s his four-legged ones that take center stage during this exhibition. Culled from the Amon Carter’s permanent collection, Audubon’s Beasts features hand-painted prints showcasing a variety of North American furry animals in their natural habitats. Don’t miss your chance to see this rare example of American artistry on display Jan. 15 through Aug. 2.

Maggie Adler, assistant curator for the Audubon’s Beasts exhibit, said the museum chose to showcase the artist’s lesser-known— but no less splendid—works for a variety of reasons. “The handcolored prints are great examples of early artistry flourishing in America, but the animals themselves are simply entertaining,” she says. “Some of these species no longer exist, and the only record of them comes to us via Audubon.”

Healthy menus, fitness activities, and a chance to change habits that might block you from realizing your resolutions are all part of the package. Although these facilities offer the same pampering amenities found at most spa retreats, the goal of a wellness destination is to provide much more than exfoliation and seaweed wraps—healing and health are top priority.

introduce expert approaches to sustaining energy and promoting longevity. In addition, guests will be instructed on which treatments are most beneficial during the season.

At Woodloch, you can also discover the healing properties of beer with their signature Royal Revival treatment. Inspired by Dogfish Head's Midas Touch, the treatment begins with a smoothing body exfoliation using hops, barley and honey followed by a tranquil soak in a beer bath. A massage using oils infused with papaya and melon completes the experience.

With only 57 guest suites at The Lodge at Woodloch, the destination experience is completed by a quiet atmosphere in which to meditate and relax. TheLodgeAtWoodloch.com

Mind, body and spirit

Go deeper with fitness and fun Located in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona, Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson helps guests to achieve their health and wellness goals through a variety of activities. The Santa Catalina Mountains serve as a majestic backdrop for the resort, which sits on more than 150 acres.

Exercise physiologists are at the center of the Canyon Ranch mission to help guests reach their fitness goals. They will create a personal plan for you, whether you are aiming for weight loss, stressrelief or relaxation. A few fitness activities to choose from include hiking, biking, swimming, yoga and golf.

Forget your typical hike down a quiet, relaxing trail—take a hike at night with provided night-vision goggles, exploring the Sabino Canyon. Or if you are more of a morning person, take a walk at daybreak, then sketch or paint what you have seen at the local DeGrazia Gallery. If you’d rather be in the water, Canyon Ranch has plenty of pools. And don’t miss out on the facility’s high ropes adventures, including a challenge course.

Accommodations are clustered together throughout the resort, with three types for you to choose from: deluxe rooms, executive rooms, and luxury suites. And for that home-away-from-home feel, there is a fourth option: the Casa Grande, a freestanding house that can accommodate up to six guests. CanyonRanch.com

Filled from wall to counter with simple wooden chairs and diner tables, there’s not much room to mingle or meander at Weinberger’s Deli.

But that’s exactly the intention. Patterned after a traditional Chicago eatery, Weinberger’s is designed for quick service with just enough space for patrons to sit down and enjoy the special sandwiches.

Located in historic downtown Grapevine, Weinberger’s seems, at first glance, to be just like any other deli. You might be looking for some character, and quite literally, you’ll find

it. There are caricatures of the people for whom many of the sandwiches are named on the walls throughout the deli.

A variety of meat, cheese, veggie and bread combinations pay homage to well-known and local celebrities. Are you in the mood for hot pastrami? Try Joe King’s Pastrami (hot pastrami, coleslaw, red onion, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese served on a toasted, seeded bun)—a favorite inspired by Southlake’s current citizen of the year. Would you rather have meatloaf? Try Don and Wanda’s Meatloaf (hot meatloaf, melt-

ed American cheese, grilled onions and ketchup served on Texas toast). The sandwich creations earn their names from being a “famous” regular’s usual order, or what owner Dan Weinberger deemed as an appropriate homage to that person.

Dan Weinberger opened his Grapevine deli in 2002 serving up hundreds of sandwich styles he either tweaked or created himself. In building his own deli, he relied on memories from his youth spent traveling around the Windy City with his father who owned five delis and sold meat. Dan describes Chicago as a melting pot, and attributes his wealth of flavor knowledge to the many restaurants he would enjoy with his father.

Those experiences, coupled with the culinary arts training he received down the line, brought about this delicious delicatessen.

The portions are generous, served up fresh and made to order with potato chips and usually a pickle spear, in a red basket. Although Weinberger’s Deli is a selfserve restaurant, you don’t feel rushed when ordering or dining. It’s a place to take a load off and enjoy your meal. Our party was small, and we only sampled two of more than 80 menu choices available.

Thoughts on the California Club: With a generous helping of turkey, bacon and cheddar cheese, you’d think there wouldn’t be any more room between the toasted multigrain ciabatta roll halves. But Weinberger’s manages to squeeze in spring mix, tomatoes, red onions and avocado—all topped with a honey Sriracha mustard. Although the sandwich was hearty, it was not heavy, and the multigrain bread was unique for a club. It was thick with a crunchy crust, but the inside was pleasantly doughy.

Thoughts on the Italian Roast Beef (hot, wet and cheesy): According to Weinberger’s, if you don’t know what that means—you shouldn’t be ordering it. So it’s a good thing the individual in our party who placed this order wasn’t a first timer. Served on a 12" wheat hoagie, the roast beef—hot, wet and cheesy—comes topped with giardiniera (pickled peppers and veggies), is dipped in au jus and served with cheese.

If these don’t sound like they’d cut it—meaning your appetite is a bit bigger—try the one of their supersized sandwiches. Served on toasted jalapeno-cheddar bread, the Oscar is made with heated mortadella, Genoa salami, pepperoni and capicola meats. Add provolone, avocado, giardiniera, mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, Italian dressing and seasoning, and you’ve got an award-winning sandwich—that is if they gave local sandwich awards.

Forget those all too common New Year’s resolutions.

You don’t always have to eat your vegetables— unless they come on a Queen of Hearts (a sandwich of artichoke hearts, crushed red and black peppers, sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, spring mix and banana peppers). You may come for the funny names, but you’ll stay for the great tastes.

Main Squeeze Eat your fruits and veggies at Pure Café Sitting among the various shops and restaurants scattered about Southlake Town Square, Pure Café may take awhile to catch your eye. But once you’ve sampled the fare, you’ll be coming back for more. Inside, the sizzling sound of the panini press fills the air, and smells of fruits and vegetables flood your senses when you enter Pure Café, a great place to stop in for a morning smoothie and an afternoon sandwich.

Everything is made fresh from scratch when you place your order. The wait time between ordering and enjoying varies. The mornings are often the busiest with patrons stopping in for a quick smoothie or breakfast sandwich fix before heading to the gym or work. The crowd that appears at lunch varies in size. If morning rush hour around Southlake Town Square is not your thing, then head back for a late afternoon casual lunch.

With a mish-mash of furniture that ranges from wooden café tables to a breakfast nook piece that would fit in at your home, the decor of the café is laid back and casual.

If the weather happens to be warm, you can enjoy your beverage or meal on the quaint patio.

Smoothies are available in 12, 16 or 20 oz. cups. When ordering a smoothie you can substitute almond or soy milk for fruit. Some interesting smoothie choices include: the PB and J (blueberries, peanut butter, dates, almond milk and low-fat yogurt); and the Coco Monkey (peanut butter, banana, chocolate almond milk and chocolate low-fat yogurt). There are plenty of additional varieties made with berries and other fruits such as mangos.

Juices have become quite popular as a smoothie alternative.

Immune Booster, Liver Cleanser and Energizer are among the names given to juices specifically made to target certain aspects of your health. Ingredients include a mixture of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Juices also are available in 12, 16 or 20 oz. cups. Pure Café sells juice cleanses for one-, three- and fiveday regimens, in addition to their daily offerings.

Ready for something more filling? If you opt for a heartier breakfast, the Spicy Southwest wrap (egg or egg whites, avocado, jalapeño, tomato, cheddar cheese, turkey bacon and salsa) makes a perfect breakfast taco substitute.

The café makes a lunch California chicken club or smoked salmon sandwich—you can choose from a wrap, flat bread, ciabatta, ezekial or gluten-free bread. Salads, organic coffees, low-fat frozen yogurt and healthy snacks, such as hummus and veggies, round out the Pure Café menu.

Mediterranean cuisine—fresh and flavorful—is what’s on the menu at Zoës Kitchen in Southlake. With a freshfrom-the-garden flare, Zoës menu offers a variety of salads, sandwiches, wraps and more, all served with Southern hospitality.

For a meal starter, try their hummus and pita—both made fresh from scratch at the restaurant. Then, for an entrée, choose one of their salads. Most include fresh mixes of greens, vegetables, orzo or pasta, and light dressings. You can add protein, such as grilled chicken or salmon, at an additional cost. For example, when you order the orzo tabouli salad, made with mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta and lemon vinaigrette, you can add two shrimp skewers. The skewers also can be enjoyed with a side salad as an entrée as well.

For a quicker bite that is a little less filling—and fewer calories—the Greek Chicken Pita (lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, feta) served with a fresh fruit salad is a great choice.

The term may be fast-casual dining, but eating at Zoës is something to be savored. After ordering at the counter, you are given a number and can be seated inside at one of their cozy booths or café tables, or, if the weather permits, outside on their patio at an umbrella-topped wrought-iron table. Although the drinks are self-serve, the food is brought to your table, where you dine with real flatware. Inside, you’ll notice the bright colors reminiscent of the Mediterranean— oranges, yellows and greens. But, bringing you back to the reality that you are, in fact, in Southlake is the a wall with art featuring phrases such as “Dragon Pride.”

Overall, expect great things from Zoës Kitchen.

It’s a treat for your taste buds without the headache of counting calories. But if managing your nutrition is something you take seriously, not to worry—a quick visit to their website gives a complete listing of calories, sugars, sodium and the rest. Approach the counter with confidence, because you will know before you go.

You may also find a complete listing of the gluten-free items available at Zoës online.

n the past, forgoing fossil fuels generally meant commuting in the far-right lane of style. Hybrid and electric cars of old played the economy game well, but as a group they lacked the luxury and performance buzz of their combustion cousins.

In 2003, ultra-entrepreneur Elon Musk founded Tesla Motors and charged the company to create an all-electric luxury vehicle. A dozen years later, the Tesla Model S is the ultimate blend of high-tech and high style.

With zero gas, zero emissions and a zero-to-60 time of 5.4 seconds, the Tesla Model S has performance worthy of elite status. The rear wheel drive electric powertrain comes in either 65kWh or 85kWh lithium-ion battery capacities. Both batteries power an electric motor, which delivers 380 horsepower and top speeds in excess of 100mph. Most importantly, the larger battery increases the car’s range to 285 miles per “tank” when driving an average of 65 mph. For those who want it all, the Model S P85D Performance has a dual-motor, all-wheel drive that delivers an astonishing 691 horses and clocks in with a zero to 60 time of 3.2 seconds—a full 2.2 seconds faster than its rear wheel drive brother. However, this level of per-

formance comes with a price—$104,500 to be exact.

Sophisticated LED lighting and an enormous 17" touchscreen infotainment and vehicle control center transmits the technology under the hood and into the cabin where plush Nappa leather seats converge with your choice of premium Obeche woods or carbon fiber accents.

Tech laden and flashy, this sporty sedan also has a safe side. The Model S has a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

With the lowest likelihood of injury to occupants, the sedan, which has eight airbags, exceeded the safety score of all SUVs and minivans in independent testing. Most impressively, the Model S comes standard with a forward-looking camera, and 360-degrees of ultrasonic sensors to keep track of road in every possible direction. The sensors can respond to real world conditions, warn of potential hazards and even get you in that parking spot—automatically.

The Tesla Model S delivers the promise of a bright, fuel-free future that includes all the spoils of luxury and performance.
