Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Slow down, relax more, and take time to enjoy every moment. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Anything physically challenging Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: Waiting in long lines Q: Are you high or low maintenance? A: I’m high maintenance when it comes to looking my best. I never leave the house without wearing makeup, get weekly massages and always have my nails painted. When I look good, I feel good.

oseville resident Shannen Park grew up in a rough part of Sacramento and was bullied mercilessly in elementary school. Needless to say, she didn’t have an easy childhood. One day, her family decided enough was enough. They enrolled her in taekwondo classes, along with her sister, two brothers and father. Park loved the chance to bond with her family and community; she was also thrilled to finally be able to discourage bullies. “I like to say that taekwondo saved me,” she says. “It teaches you a lot of things about mental and physical strength, and it shaped who I am today.” Although Park eventually became a second-degree black belt, she had to leave 12 stylergbr.com - November 2015

the sport due to her parents’ financial woes. Ten years, a husband and two children later, Park returned to taekwondo, and soon found a new goal: to become the next American Ninja Warrior. She appeared on the show earlier this year, and while she didn’t make it to the finish, she is already training for her next attempt. “I want to become the first mom to finish the qualifying course,” she shares. Park also hopes to raise awareness about bullying through her appearances on the show. “I want to show kids it’s possible to overcome it,” she attests. Recently, Park competed in the United World Taekwondo Association’s World Championships and earned her third-degree black belt and two world championship titles. “Through taekwondo, I’ve learned self-defense, self-discipline and perseverance—and I’m definitely never getting bullied again!” — Amber Foster

season’s eatings

ask the expert Q: What are some tips to stay fit throughout the holidays?

1. Be aware of holiday parties and obligations, which mean increased caloric intake and otherwise poorer dietary choices, and plan around them. 2. On the days leading up to these events, eat lesser quantities and eat clean whenever possible. 3. Increase workout intensity and frequency to create more consistency in both the workouts themselves and in better food choices. 4. Do a daily body-weight routine— preferably upon waking to avoid your busy schedule—that can be done anywhere and at any time. 5. To supplement the harder workouts and battle holiday stress, try yoga and meditation. —Rob Kram, Fitness Director California Family Fitness 5001 Foothills Boulevard, Roseville 2165 Sunset Boulevard, Rocklin californiafamilyfitness.com

WHAT’S IN

SEASON? Owari Satsuma Mandarins

lacer County grown Owari Satsuma mandarins are the perfect snack for those with a sweet tooth. The flawlessly formed, beautifully colored fruit’s skin is thin, easy to peel and completely biodegradable. Your taste buds will go into overdrive with the sweet, juicy flavor bursting in every bite. Snack time isn’t the only reason to enjoy a mandarin, however; this versatile treat is especially tasty in Chef Courtney McDonald’s recipe for Mandarin, Radish and Apple Salad with Winter Greens (to view it, visit stylergbr.com), which perfectly pairs the fruit’s sweetness with the tang of Meyer lemons and the crunchiness of walnuts.

DID YOU KNOW? Some studies have indicated that mandarins contain high levels of the phytochemical synephrine, a natural decongestant that helps relieve cold and allergy symptoms. After arriving in California during the late 1800s, the Owari Satsuma mandarin is thriving in dozens of Placer County orchards today. They’re only available for a few months out of the year, so get your fill now or at the annual Mountain Mandarin Festival from November 20-22. the moldy fruit problem! — Carol Arnold

SELECTION AND STORAGE When selecting mandarins, ask your local farmer for ones that are unblemished and heavy for their size, as those will taste the best. When storing, be sure to keep them at room temperature; if you do store in the refrigerator, put them in a fabric produce bag or even an old pillowcase so they don’t accumulate any moisture, which can keep them fresh for up to two weeks. Lastly, be sure to pat your mandarins dry to eliminate 14 stylergbr.com - November 2015

foodie find

Shave Monster

recently popped into Shave Monster after working out, because—let’s face it—after a long week and killer sweat sesh, a little bit of sweetness is deserved! This Asian version of a frozen yogurt shop specializes in snow fluff, a milkbased version of shaved ice, but also serves regular ice cream, mochi, smoothies, slushes and Thai and bubble teas. It’s frankly mind-boggling how many flavors and topping selections the swanky shop offers—the combinations are endless—but I indulged in the Honeydew Snow Fluff with Passion Fruit Boba (jelly pearls that pop in your mouth) and a Passion Fruit Bubble Tea (with more jelly pearls inside). The light, smooth texture and passion fruit jelly bombs were so worth potentially spoiling a workout over, but the most beautiful thing about snow fluff isn’t that it comes out as thin ribbons of deliciousness, but that it has all the flavor and satisfaction of regular ice cream—if not more—with less calories. There’s plenty of seating and funky island music, so it’s a great place to chill out with friends or family. When it comes to finding a sweet spot with cool treats, Shave Monster freezes out the competition. Shave Monster, 6827 Lonetree Boulevard, Suite D-106, Rocklin, 916-872-1788. — Rachel Meeker

“A piece of the infamous Walkin’ Pie at Kids Inc.—paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—is heaven on a plate. I especially love picnicking on their lawn and taking in the views and autumn colors!” kidsincapples.com

“The Caramel Apple Cider Milkshake from High Hill Ranch is so heavenly it’s practically sinful. Vanilla ice cream is blended with fresh apple cider before being poured into a caramelsauce drizzled cup and topped with whipped cream…resulting in a drool-inspiring, perfect fall treat.” highhillranch1.net

“The friendly folks at Rainbow Orchards make their delectable Apple Cider Donuts fresh— dropping the rings into the fryer right before your eyes. A brief wait (they’re worth it!) and you’re rewarded with a piping hot, cinnamon-sugar dusted donut that manages to be both soft and densely chewy. Go ahead and order a dozen— you’ll regret it if you don’t.” rainboworchards.net

“I go to Denver Dan’s every year for their delicious desserts and especially love the frozen, unbaked pies; they even add sour cream to some of them (Apple Sour Cream Pie, Berry Sour Cream Pie and Cranberry Sour Cream Pie). The convenience of taking them out of the freezer when you’re ready to serve can’t be beat, and the taste is out of this world.” denverdansapplepatch. com

Competition, Perez’s alternately delicate and rough, nature- and anime-inspired works now garner national attention. Often exploring themes of innocence and maturity, the artist’s true passion is shown in the story

Tom McClintock’s office, we were so excited. I was the first student from Granite Bay High School to take first place in the Congressional Art Show, and I was a little in shock. I got to meet McClintock at the reception, which was awesome, and later I flew to Washington, DC, to see my art in the Cannon Tunnel—where it hung next to many amazing artists from around the country. It was like a dream!

HLB: Describe your art? RP: Personally, I like to describe my art as juxtaposition between a figure and its environment. I like to always tell a story about the figure and her/his relationship to the environment or how they got there.

HLB: How’d you develop your skill? RP: I started drawing in second grade, which eventually took over my life. [The next year] I was heavily influenced by anime and drew all the time while watching it. During that time, I slowly learned anatomy as well. By the time I got to high school, I was only used to doodling and doing illustrations. The Granite Bay Art Academy introduced me to the world of acrylic painting, and my two amazing teachers and artists—Ms. Rider and Mr. Stephens— helped me build so many new techniques that turned my art into paintings I could’ve

HLB: If not an artist, what would you be? RP: I really can’t imagine myself as anything but an artist of some sort. If I really had no Yesterday choice, I would maybe be a beautician or a cosmetologist, since I’ve always loved doing my makeup.

HLB: What’s in your future? RP: From my love of character design, I really want to become a concept artist for a big company like Disney or Pixar. I’m also interested in character modeling.

seconds, please! Stock Up on These 6 Foods

ou are what you eat, so to be your healthiest self, it’s important to incorporate nutrient-rich foods into every meal. Read on as two nutrition experts from Marshall Medical Center—Amy Triplett, RD, and Tamalisa Carlson, MPH, RD—share six nutrient-dense foods that you should be eating regularly, along with quick and easy preparation tips.

1 / Blueberries “This is a wonderful antioxidant-rich food,” explains Triplett. “Antioxidants help guard against free radicals that damage cells in the body and can lead to cancer.” The berries also promote brain health, are high in fiber and contain vitamin C. Triplett recommends sticking with organic blueberries.

make a tasty Mexican dinner or serve cold in a pasta salad. Hummus—made from garbanzo beans—is a popular choice to pair with vegetables.

Preparation Tip: Steam and mash cau-

3 / Flaxseeds

5 / Garlic

The main component in this tiny food is omega-3 fatty acid, which “plays a role in decreasing certain cancerous tumors such as colon, breast, skin and lung,” Triplett says. “It also helps to reduce cholesterol, especially targeting LDL, which is the ‘bad cholesterol.’”

With antibiotic properties and vitamin C, garlic allows for protection against colds, Triplett says. It also contains vitamin B6, which promotes heart health by lowering blood pressure, triglycerides and LDL; and increasing HDL, or good cholesterol.

Preparation Tip: Ground flaxseeds provide the most health benefits and can be sprinkled on several foods, such as salads, soups and warm cereals, or added to smoothies.

Preparation Tip: Add them to smoothies, yogurt, salad or cereals to benefit from their superfood powers.

2 / Beans and Legumes Beans are a simple way to increase protein and fiber without adding fat and cholesterol to your diet, says Carlson. All beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, navy), dried peas and lentils are packed with lean protein, complex carbohydrates and B vitamins, as well as a variety of minerals such as iron, zinc, phosphorous and potassium. With canned beans, Carlson says to rinse and drain them before eating, to remove excess sodium.

Preparation Tip: Choose beans and/or legumes as a main entrée for a meatless meal at least once a week. Use them to 24 stylergbr.com - November 2015

4 / Cruciferous Vegetables Nothing packs a nutritious punch for fighting cancer like cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, collard greens, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. “They are loaded with antioxidants to protect the body’s cells from cancer and prevent tumor growth,” Carlson says. “In addition, they’re packed with B vitamins, which help with energy metabolism and keep the body functioning optimally.” Dark green vegetables are high in beta-carotene, which promotes healthy eyes, skin, hair and your immune system. “Surprisingly, a serving of broccoli has more vitamin C than an orange. With benefits like these, try eating cruciferous vegetables at least several times a week,” she says.

liflower to look like mashed potatoes or roast your favorite varieties and add to sandwiches, salads or soups.

Preparation Tip: Roast it in the oven and spread on almost anything.

6 / Orange Foods From vegetables like sweet potatoes, to fruits like tangerines, orange foods are filled with beta-carotene for healthy eyes, skin, immune function and cancer prevention. Citrus fruits also supply important vitamin C to fend off colds and keep your body strong. “Just one carrot a day will meet your body’s requirement for this necessary nutrient,” she says.

Preparation Tip: Crunchy, raw carrots make a delicious snack, and are great dipped in hummus. Try to eat one serving of o ra n g e - c o l o re d vegetables or fruit every day.

26 stylergbr.com - November 2015

Diabetic Alert Dogs (DAD): DID YOU KNOW? • Diabetic alert dogs are trained for the first six to 18 months of their lives—beginning on the day they’re born. • They must be able to detect both high and low blood sugar, as well as pass all the rigorous challenges that standard assist dogs must pass, including behavior in public spaces and obedience. • The average working life of a DAD is 10 years (then they are retired from service). • The part of a dog’s brain that detects smell is 40 times larger than that of humans, meaning a dog can smell one teaspoon of sugar in one million gallons of water. • Because of the extensive training needed for diabetic alert dogs, the average cost for one dog is $25,000.

evin Cameron started Alpha K9 because of his brother, who was suffering from severe PTSD. Cameron came home one day to find him with a gun in his mouth. He talked his brother out of it and got him help. The doctors suggested a service dog, but as Cameron researched, he saw a lot of for-profit companies taking advantage of a need. “People were selling their homes to get $20,000 or $50,000 for a dog, and waiting up to four years for it,” Cameron says. “My brother didn’t have that kind of money…or time.” Fortunately, during Cameron’s military career—he’s a highly decorated combat veteran who served his country for almost 28 stylergbr.com - November 2015

14 years and received a Purple Heart, before enemy fire ended his vocation in 2011—he was involved in training dogs for the Military Working Dog program. No stranger to PTSD or the emotional struggles returning ve t e ra n s e n d u re d a i l y, Cameron founded Alpha K9 to help other veterans, as well as first responders, crime and trauma victims—anyone with “emotional disabilities” whose life might be saved by a service dog. Remarkably, he provides dogs for free—getting them Dasko from rescue shelters all around the country—and because of his military experience, can get them trained and placed in about three months. So far he’s

The nonprofit gets generous sponsorship from Tuscan Natural, which donates all the dog food Alpha K9 needs, along with support from Western Feed & Pet Supply, HATE Project, Cisco, Archangel Ammunition and other sponsors. From there, they rely on volunteer support, charitable donations and fund-raisers, such as this month’s Monte Carlo Night on November 13 where every penny raised goes back to the program. “We hope people will come out and support us,” Cameron says. “There are good people out there just trying to create a future for themselves and their families, and we want to help them do that.” It certainly worked for Cameron’s brother, who today is happily married, has a beautiful daughter and is going to school.

flexibility or risk losing it,” says Noelle Ritter, ATC, CSCS, MES, certified athletic trainer at Roseville Health & Wellness Center. “For a low-impact workout, begin with multi-joint functional movements such as chair squats, modified floor push-ups and alternating lunges, then complete the workout with some basic yoga poses.” Ritter recommends this routine to stretch the muscles and gain long-term flexibility, which will help to build overall postural strength.

3 / TRX TRX Suspension Training is a small-group workout that’s low impact and beneficial for all ages. “A TRX is a nylon strap with handles that allow you to perform hundreds of different exercises using your own body weight and gravity,” explains Lisa Packheiser, ATC, fitness director at Johnson Ranch Racquet Club in Roseville (a Spare Time Club). “We offer classes that consist of retirees who are looking to get and stay strong overall, work on their balance, flexibility, stability and core strength, and TRX can do all of that.” The workout is beginner friendly and it’s easy to modify exercises to your own comfort level.

4 / Group Fitness

1 / Hatha Yoga Yoga fulfills all of the categories of good exercise, combining endurance with stretches, strength training and balance. Hatha yoga typically describes a gentle, basic yoga routine with no flow between poses. Classes include slow-paced stretching with simple breathing exercises, perhaps seated meditation, and poses that can range from a “seated forward bend” to “warrior I,” which builds up power in the legs and hips. Don’t forget the final “relaxation” pose, a great stress-buster in which you lie down turn off your thoughts.

2 / Strength Training Circuit Followed by Yoga Cool Down “As adults age, they must actively maintain their strength and

These classes fit the bill for many people who enjoy interaction and camaraderie while exercising. Melissa Thomas, group fitness director at California Family Fitness, recommends the club’s Young at Heart programs. “These low-impact workouts combine cardio, strength training, balance and stretching,” Thomas explains. “In just 50 minutes, members who participate in this musical aerobics class increase functional movement and overall fitness while having fun and meeting new people.”

5 / Qigong Qigong is a practice that’s similar to tai chi with numerous health benefits, according to Alex Tuggle, LAc, a second-generation licensed acupuncturist, certified qigong practitioner and instructor in the Eight Treasures qigong of the Ni family lineage, at Golden Wellness Center in Placerville. “The energy-building aspect of qigong is different than any other type of exercise,” he says. “With gentle core-building exercises and deep-breathing techniques, you create a mind-body connection that facilitates your body’s ability to heal and regenerate. [What’s more], the exercises can be adjusted to various physical abilities and fitness levels in order to strengthen your core and [increase] lower body strength.” Qigong practices are easy to learn and can aid in the treatment of anxiety, depression, diabetes, neuropathies and other health issues. Tuggle says his classes “balance the mental, physical and emotional aspects for complete wholeness, wellness and health.”

ctive adults are always looking for new ways to stay fit. They know that as they age, regular exercise is essential for maintaining strength and optimum health. Here in our corner of California, the mild winter weather usually allows for a daily walk or game of golf, but now is also a good time to enjoy a variety of indoor workouts. Read on for five, low-impact recommendations that are varied enough to keep you coming back for more. Remember: Check with your doctor before you start any new exercise regimen.

EXPERIENCE DEEP SLEEP AGAIN!

leep is essential for a person’s health and well-being, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Most of us are built for 16 hours of wakefulness a day and need an average of 8 hours of sleep per day. Of course this can vary a bit, based on individual needs. However, it is of the utmost importance for each of us to sleep well and allow our bodies and minds to rest. You’ve followed the usual tips for getting enough sleep — sleeping on a regular schedule, avoiding caffeine and daytime naps, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Still, it’s been weeks and a good night’s sleep remains elusive. Is it time for an over-the-counter sleep aid? Most over-the-counter sleep aids can be effective for an occasional sleepless night, however, there are a few caveats. Most over-the-counter sleep aids contain antihistamines. Tolerance to the sedative effects of antihistamines can develop quickly — so the longer you take them, the less likely they are to make you sleepy. In addition, some over-thecounter sleep aids can leave you feeling groggy and unwell the next day. Now, at Innovative Compounding Pharmacy, we offer an over the counter sleep aid like never before, Kavinace® and Kavinace ultra PM. Kavinace® is NeuroScience’s most calming product. Unlike traditional GABA supplementation, the ingredient, 4-amino-3-phenylbutyric acid, easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts like a GABA agonist. Kavinace Ultra PM is uniquely designed to promote sleep by promoting healthy levels of the primary neurotransmitters and hormones involved in sleep. It is also frequently recommended A D V E R T I S E M E N T

for patients with elevated levels of glutamate and PEA, and may be beneficial in some individuals with elevated epinephrine and norepinephrine.

ing Pharmacy, so try it yourself and experience the deep sleep again! We work with our patients and their physicians and customize each person’s care.

Kavinace® and Kavinace Ultra PM are the most effective overthe-counter sleep aids we have personally tried and have the most positive feedback from the customers that have tried it as well. It is now available at Innovative Compound-

host with the most 7 Steps to Party Perfection

by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID

1 / Generate the Guest List The most obvious first step to hosting holiday guests is to, well, invite them. Because we want this to be a casual cocktail party, think about inviting people you wouldn’t mind rubbing elbows with for a few hours. Cocktail parties are generally more intimate, so create a guest list full of friends and family that you’d be happy to introduce to each other.

Balance your menu by pairing sweet and savory bites for a broad range of flavors. Try small, flavorful hors d’oeuvres for the first round of cocktails, and slowly ease into the sugary treats as the evening winds down. Serve them on fanciful silver or gold platters with fresh sprigs from the yard, or cinnamon sticks for a warm, holiday feel.

4 / Deck the Halls Should you go shabby chic and spring for some festive glassware? How about cool

glassware for a rustic look, or keep it uniform and elegant with contemporarystyle glasses.

6 / Simple Signage Avoid having to answer, “What is that?” every couple of minutes when guests go to grab a bite. Create small signs that name the food and drinks, or list a cocktail pairing or two that complements the appetizers. If something contains soy, dairy, nuts or other allergy-associated foods, make it known. Signs are also a great way to emphasize décor and reinforce the theme.

2 / Just Right Invites

7 / Details, Details, Details

We love decorative invitations, especially for the holidays. Take a cue from the interior design and fashion trends of simple and organic details by creating an invitation with soft, scribbled calligraphy and a sprig or two of rosemary or pine. Use warm colors like red and brown to communicate a low-key gathering or black and white for a more sophisticated vibe. If you’re going the social media route, make the invite welcoming with as many details as possible.

Make your guests feel welcome by going the extra mile on tiny nuances, such as linens instead of paper napkins or unique glassware in lieu of plastic cups. Just because the party is meant to be casual, doesn’t mean the details don’t count. and contemporary with an all black-andwhite-themed evening, or rustic with fresh pine nettles and wood elements sprinkled throughout? The options are endless and up to you!

3 / Master the Menu

5 / Be Liberal with Libations

As long as you follow this simple guide, you can anticipate a holiday party to remember. All rules aside, though, don’t forget to enjoy your party too! Mingle with guests, have a drink and some appetizers, and remember the reason for the season.

To eliminate the need to hire a server, create a self-serve cocktail bar. Your guests will be more likely to choose a drink that they actually want and won’t feel the pressure to ask for another. Stock the area with one festive-themed cocktail (already prepared in a pretty pitcher), a deep bowl filled with ice to cool down beers, a bottle of white wine, a few red wine options, and of course flutes for bubbles. Mix up

hen it comes to holiday feasting, we all crave the classics—buttery mashed potatoes, moist turkey, tart cranberry sauce with a hint of sweetness, and decadent desserts that’ll put the entire family into a food coma—but sometimes Stove Top doesn’t cut it. To ensure this year’s meal is a megahit, Style went straight to the experts—local chefs—to ask for the recipes that have their guests asking for seconds. Warning: Leftovers not guaranteed.

• 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes • 8 oz. butter • 8 oz. sour cream • Salt and pepper, to taste In a large pot, add potatoes and enough salt so the water tastes salty. Bring to a boil and back off heat to a slow boil. Potatoes are done when a knife passes halfway through with little resistance. When done, drain potatoes and let steam dry for 5 minutes. Break up the potatoes using a potato masher or mixer fixed with a paddle. Add the butter and cream. Mix until only small lumps are visible. Be careful not to over mix, as Yukons will get gummy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Q: Being forced to spend

A:To establish good intentions and a grateful attitude for the holidays, consider your values as a guide for coping with challenging family members. By modeling your values, you’ll shift your perspective in a positive direction, which may influence other family members to do the same. Be careful with assumptions. Anticipating what might happen this year based on the past may cause excessive worry that will do more harm than good. Differentiate between venting and complaining. Make conversations about preparing for family situations constructive; consider talking to your partner before the holidays so you’ll be on the same page. Be attentive to how you’re managing conflict in front of your children and be careful not to burden them with adult issues. Bringing up problems at family functions is not likely to be productive; while appropriately addressing conflict is healthy, Thanksgiving dinner is not the best place or time. —Mandi Oliphant, LMFT, Registered Art Therapist, Owner Mosaic Therapy and Wellness 507 Natoma Street, Folsom 916-934-2385 mosaictherapyandwellness.com

Turkey, neck and giblets removed 1 tbsp. coarse sea salt 1 tbsp. ground chili powder 1 tsp. ground black pepper 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth or homemade turkey broth, divided • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

38 stylergbr.com - November 2015

Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking, allowing grill temperature to reach 500-degrees Fahrenheit; pat turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine salt, chili powder and pepper. Loosen skin over turkey breast meat with your fingers and work a little of the salt mixture under the skin and over the meat; smooth skin back in place. Sprinkle remaining mixture over skin and in turkey cavity. Tie legs together with kitchen twine and tuck wings under body. Place on a rack set in a large roasting pan. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking by turning off one of the burners or by arranging hot coals on one side of the grill. Place turkey in the roasting pan over the burner that is off and turn remaining burners to medium (keeping grill temperature at 350-to 375-degrees Fahrenheit). If using a charcoal grill, replenish coals as necessary to maintain a steady temperature. Cover the grill and cook turkey, adding 1-1/2 cups of the broth to the roasting pan after 1 hour and again after 2 hours, for 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours total, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh, without touching bone, reads 165-degrees Fahrenheit (about 13 minutes per pound). Transfer turkey to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes before carving (while preparing gravy). Pour drippings from the roasting pan through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass measuring cup and let sit for 1 minute; spoon off any fat that floats to the surface. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour and cook until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups of broth and pan drippings and whisk constantly until smooth. Cook, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Carve turkey, transfer to a platter and serve with gravy. Serves 14 with leftovers.

Melt butter, add onion, mushrooms, parsley and innards (if you use them) and cook until onion is tender. Add spinach and chard; cook until wilted. Place in large bowl and mix all other ingredients.

5 TIPS FOR A HEALTHIER THANKSGIVING Submitted by Dr. Kristi Tompkins, ND, at El Dorado Naturopathic Medicine, 7563 Green Valley Road Placerville, 530-622-2323; 512 Riley Street, Folsom, 916-985-4516, doctorkristi.com

Prepare ahead for pre-dinner snacks. Cut out the high-calorie chips and cheese, and create a nutritious and colorful veggie tray with dips like guacamole and hummus.

Go green. Skip the heavier salads and sides, and instead choose a dark, leafy green salad using nourishing and lowcalorie greens like kale, arugula, chard and spinach.

Pass the potatoes. Mashed “potatoes” made with 1/2 sweet potatoes, 1/2 cauliflower and coconut oil contains more vitamins, fiber and flavor than the standard white potato recipes.

Let the dinner rolls roll by. Instead of carb loading on bread, opt out. You’ll make room in your belly for tastier and leaner foods like turkey.

Save room for dessert. No need to deprive yourself from the coveted pumpkin pie. Indulge in the filling, which is the best part anyway, and toss the crust.

If so, adding pheasant feathers brings in an interesting texture, along with height and drama. Using metallic bronze gives an elegant feel, and finding accords or candleholders is easy this time of year.

If you enjoy making personal pieces from items in your yard or gathered on a fall walk, then a “characteristic” design that’s ImaginativeArtistic is your style. Using pumpkins, burlap, corn and written messages or name tags, this style is appreciated by all and especially fun for children to participate in.

Keep it simple with a Farmhouse Modern feel, which allows for plenty of food and drink to be placed on the table. Incorporate autumn hues and a pop of color in the plates and napkins, or add simple nametags for a personal touch. The use of gourds, artichokes, pears and apples bring a food-focused harvest essence.

• 2 cups raw almonds, soaked in purified water for 8-12 hours, rinsed and drained  • 1 pear, diced or 1 apple, diced  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced  • 4 stalks celery, diced  • 2 tbsp. golden flaxseed, ground  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil  • 1 tbsp. coconut aminos  or 2 tsp. gluten-free tamari  • 1/2-1 tsp. Himalayan sea salt  • 2 tbsp. poultry seasoning

Combine all ingredients in a food processor outfitted with an “S blade.” Pulse until well combined, breaking up almonds but not so much that your stuffing is a paste (think texture!). You can serve at room temperature, or use a dehydrator and crumble onto dehydrator trays lined with ParaFlexx sheets. Dehydrate for 6 hours at 105-degrees Fahrenheit until a slight crust is formed. If you don’t have a dehydrator, turn your oven to 100 degrees and allow a crust to form, about 4 hours. The oven method won’t give you a raw result, but it will produce a delicious glutenfree, plant-based stuffing.

8 THANKSGIVING FOODS NOT TO FEED FIDO Submitted by Dr. Brad Cahoon, owner of Veterinary Healing Center, 120 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 4, Folsom, 916-889-7387, vethealingfolsom.com; 2222 Francisco Drive, Suite 150, 916-933-6030, vethealingeldoradohills.com 1/Turkey Skin Eating turkey skin can lead to gastroenteritis and pancreatitis, which are harmful (and sometimes deadly) inflammatory conditions of the digestive system. 2/Bones When ingested, bones can splinter off inside the digestive tract. Minimally, they can cause digestive upsets;

more seriously, they can cause lifethreatening punctures or blockages in the stomach and intestines. 3/Nutmeg Nutmeg causes central nervous system concerns such as seizures (or worse)—even in very small amounts. 4/Sage An oil found in this herb that’s commonly used in turkey marinades

and stuffing is known to cause stomach upset in pets. 5/Onions and Garlic Both of these foods contain sulfides, which can cause blood disorders that lead to anemia in pets. Note: Cooking does not decrease their toxicity. 6/Nuts Macadamia nuts and walnuts can cause a toxicity known as

“macadamia nut toxicosis,” a condition that can lead to shock and potential death. 7/Chocolate, dough and batter You’ve likely already heard that chocolate is “paws off,” but dough and batter are also concerns, due to the risk of salmonella from raw eggs. Dough even has the potential to rise

inside your pet’s stomach causing pain and bloating. 8/Alcohol Alcohol in any form is toxic, but the hops in beer are particularly toxic. Ingesting them can cause a condition called malignant hyperthermia, in which the body temperature rises uncontrollably.

2 cups whipping cream (no substitutes) 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 cup canned pumpkin 1/3 cup sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/4 cup sugar

Photo by Dante Fontana.

In a medium saucepan, heat whipping cream over medium heat until just bubbly. Remove from heat; set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, eggs, pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Beat with a wire whisk or rotary beater until just combined. Slowly whisk the hot whipping cream into the spiced pumpkin mixture. Place six, 6-ounce custard cups in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

Divide the custard mixture evenly among the cups. Place the baking pan on the oven rack. Pour enough boiling water into the baking pan to reach halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake the custards in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes or until centers appear set when carefully shaken. Gently remove pan from oven. Remove dishes from water; cool custards on a wire rack. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours. Before serving, let custards stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. To caramelize sugar: In an 8-inch heavy skillet, heat 1/4 cup sugar over medium-high heat until sugar begins to melt, shaking skillet occasionally to heat sugar evenly. Don’t stir. Once sugar starts to melt, reduce heat to low; cook 3-5 minutes more or until golden, stirring as needed with a wooden spoon. Quickly drizzle caramelized sugar over the custards. (If sugar hardens in the skillet, return to heat, stirring until melted.) Serve custards immediately. Makes 6 servings.

’m the kind of person who’s in line at Starbucks the moment I find out pumpkin spice lattes are back, so you can imagine my delight when I heard that The Window Box Café serves pumpkin spice pancakes. Tucked away off Highway 65 is the cheery café, dressed in vibrant yellow with floral curtains and tables graced with eclectically mismatched tablecloths. My husband and I settled into a cozy booth and perused the ample offerings while coffee and water were delivered swiftly.

My pancakes arrived piping hot and chewy with an indulgent cream cheese frosting, toasted pecans and flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg that danced playfully on my palate. I’m always a little worried about getting coffee at Mom and Pop joints (you never know when you’ll be paying Starbucks prices for burnt and stale Folgers), but the coffee really hit the spot. The lineup offered everything from an impressive kids’ menu (the Mouse Cakes, complete with Mickey ears, are a favorite) to classics like waffles, steak and eggs, crepes, three-egg omelettes, and both regular and flavored pancakes. Pumpkin Spice Pancakes Despite my aforementioned love for pumpkin spice, I was almost lured away by the Reese’s Peanut Butter Swirl—a chocolate pancake topped with peanut butter sauce and pieces of the delectable candy, but I couldn’t quite sway from my first love. My husband opted for the corned beef hash and eggs, which came atop a mound of delicious home-fried potatoes with zesty 50 stylergbr.com - November 2015

I can’t even say how many restaurants have corned beef that ends up being an overcooked, dry, salty, stringy mess, but the folks at Window Box have concocted the perfect peppery spice blend and fall-apart tender texture. My pancakes arrived piping hot and chewy with an indulgent cream cheese frosting, toasted pecans and flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg that danced playfully on my palate—resulting in a perfect bite of

autumn. The combo came with eggs and bacon, sausage or ham (I opted for the generously portioned and juicy sausage links), which was more than enough food for even the hungriest of diners. With those deliciously flavored flapjacks, I may have just found my new favorite fall treat—and my new favorite diner.

taste CREAMY APPLE PARSNIP SOUP Soup for Syria: Recipes to Celebrate Our Shared Humanity Recipes compiled by Barbara Abdeni Massaad. Featured recipe by local resident Carolyn Kumpe. (Interlink Publishing Group, 2015, $30)

Heat the oil and butter in a large soup pot on medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Add the leeks or onions with a pinch of salt. Sauté on low until the leeks or onions are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the honey, bay leaf, and herb sprig. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the stock. Add the parsnips, potatoes and apples. Cover the pan, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the fruits and vegetables are tender. Remove and discard the bay leaf and herb sprig. Allow the soup to cool. Purée the cooled soup with a stick blender, food processor or blender. Return to the saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cider or juice. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes. 54 stylergbr.com - November 2015

WOODCHUCK HARD CIDER’S OAK AGED APPLE “WINTER CHILL” Woodchuck Hard Cider, a branch of Vermont Hard Cider Company (producers of Magners Irish Cider, Hornsby’s Cider and others), introduced the U.S. to craft cider 24 years ago. The company currently handcrafts and manages all levels of quality control in their state-of-the-art cidery in Middlebury, Vermont, where they produce a variety of year-round, seasonal, small-batch, private reserve and “out on a limb” varieties (Chocolate Raspberry and Cheeky Cherry, to name a few). With a commitment to innovation, the environment and supporting the local community, it should come as no surprise that Woodchuck has won numerous awards. Woodchuck Hard Cider’s Oak Aged Apple “Winter Chill” is homemade with apples from the company’s orchard partners in Vermont using a centuries-old technique, resulting in a cider that’s light, crisp and semi-dry with tremendous depth. Aged in premium French and traditional American oak gives it great complexity and broad characteristics that neither style could produce on its own. Starting with an attractive oak taste and finishing with a touch of vanilla, it’s medium-bodied, moderately carbonated and overall a nice, balanced cider that pairs effortlessly with holiday dishes, including this month’s Creamy Apple Parsnip Soup. —Christina Leyva Events Manager, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

JIM AND STEPHANIE SUTHERLIN, WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS Roseville 530-308-3534 stephaniesutherlin.com

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? My business is real estate sales; it’s all about helping clients find their dream home. It was just about 25 years ago when real estate found me. We were looking to find a new home, and I was amazed by the “ins and outs” of the real estate process. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? It all started with photography. Opening my own photo development business taught me all about business and great customer service. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? My proudest achievements all come from a common source: my clients. I feel so accomplished when I help my clients achieve their goals, whether it’s selling or buying a home. Where do you go when the going gets tough? When I have too much on my plate, the gym is my happy place. What’s your hidden talent? Patience is key. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? We love taking bike rides on the local trails. What’s your favorite childhood memory? Going out for ice cream with the family. What’s your favorite local event that you go to? Apple Hill What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Whole Foods Market If you could be in any other profession, what would it be? There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing. And finally, customer service is…? What my job is all about.

Photos by Dante Fontana.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Wedding photography sort of found us. We’ve both loved taking pictures since we were kids, but we didn’t start a business until we were asked to shoot some advertising photos for the venue where we were married. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? My very first job was sweeping metal chips at my family’s machine shop. I was probably six, and my parents wanted my brother and me to know that the way you get what you want in life is to work hard for it. Why is your staff the best in the business? My husband and I make up the staff. We work amazingly together. It’s not always that way when couples work together, but I call what we do “dancing.” We know each other’s steps and have a rhythm that works for us. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? We’ve been to all 50 states together. Where do you go when the going gets tough? My place of solitude is found reading a book. There’s no better place to escape the real world. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? La Fornaretta in Newcastle—best pizza in the area, hands down! What’s your favorite local event that you go to? We love the farmers’ markets. What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Bloom Coffee & Tea What is your opinion of Style Magazine? We love Style! Aside from that fact that our dog was on the cover, I always pick up a copy to find upcoming events, new restaurants, and articles on things that actually apply to our area. And finally, customer service is…? The one thing that can make or break your business; my mom always told me to treat people the way you want to be treated and that’s the philosophy we apply to our business.

what’s in a number? 8 Reasons Why Lists Are Listless by Tom Mailey

ey, Internet list-makers. Enough! Every time I log on, there’s a link to another list: “26 Underrated Shows You Aren’t Watching Right Now”…“15 Struggles of Being Clueless in the Kitchen”…“23 Times André 3000’s Style Was ‘Swoon Worthy.” Please, will you just stop…please? I’ll give you eight reasons why. 8 / We know what you’re doing. Making a list is just a blatant attempt to get people to click on your website. Clicks add up, and the more you get, the more you can charge Ad Choices to post some stupid pop-up like, “1 Weird Trick to Powering Your Home on Belly Fat.”

6/They demonstrate a needless overthinking of things. “13 Ways to Make Your Bed More Comfy“? Really? I have three: blanket, pillow, me.

FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES AND...

WHAT’S COMING NEXT MONTH? DON’T MISS STYLE’S HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE, PLUS MUCH MORE, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM.

5/Your food suggestions are more unappealing than you think. Like, “19 Delicious Homemade Snacks That Put Bagged Chips to Shame.” First of all, nothing puts lime-flavored Tostitos to shame. N othing . Secondly, that photo you included of your baked Parmesan zucchini chips? They look like something that might have flaked off the back of a mangy dog’s neck.

66 stylergbr.com - November 2015

4/They waste enormous amounts of time at work. Sure, it may only take a few minutes to click through “25 Reasons Bill Nye Was Your Best Teacher Ever.” I may even agree with a few of them (he does kind of look like a pre-beard Abraham Lincoln). But these damned lists—they’re like lime-flavored Tostitos: Once I get started, I can’t stop. So after Bill Nye, I’m clicking “14 Reasons Your Cat Owns You” (they really do seem to have the power of mind control), “24 Times Full House Was Perfect” and…dang, is it 5 o’clock already? 3/Overuse of the adverb “ever.” “Ever” is highly subjective: Say you compose a list of the “19 Worst People Ever,“ and your #1 is Adolf Hitler. Well, sure. We would agree on that. But at #18 you put Alan Thicke? Why?! Too good for Growing Pains? You know, for some people his Tahiti Village infomercials really did lead to a second honeymoon in Vegas. Secondarily, grown-ups should refrain as often as possible from ending any sentence with the word “ever.” In fact, it should really only be used by those under

10, and then only in reference to ice cream, rides at theme parks and/or the latest movie from Pixar. 2/Sometimes they’re so dumb, they make me mad. I’m looking at you, “10 Dumbest Things of All Time.” Yes, that’s an actual list. It includes “toilet roll hats,” “diet water” and—to be fair—“this list.” 1/They still suck me in. I know they won’t help me grow as a person. I know there are better things I could be doing with my time. I know it’s my turn on Words with Friends. Still, if I’m swiping through the screen on my mobile phone and I see “24 Struggles No One Understands About Working in a Call Center”…I’m sorry. I’ll be back in five minutes…and probably with a great new way for using belly fat to make my bed more comfy.

Illustration by David Norby.

7/Lists say more about their writers than anything else. Honestly, your list is “29 Times Dragons Had a Better Sex Life Than You“? Just the fact that you’ve thought about a dragon’s sex life at all...and then researched it (at least I hope you had to research it) means you probably played way too much Dungeons & Dragons as a kid. Should have gone outside more often, dweeb.
