R O C K L I N

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Januar y. Part of me finds the hush after the holiday rush to be slightly melancholy. Decorations are put away, vacations come to a halt, bank accounts are bleak, and it seems there’s little to look forward to. To make matters worse, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February” (ahem, January), the air is still bone-chilling cold, and maybe it’s just me, but the glow of winter seems to lose a little of its gleam. The “love” side of me, however, sees it as a month of newness—a chance to wipe the slate clean, reflect on the previous 365 days (what worked, what didn’t) and take a moment to set some goals and put energy toward what I hope the coming year will bring. Whether you loathe or love January, we’re here to help. In this month’s feature, “Chill Out: 50+ Ways to Beat the Winter Blues” (page 35), Sharon Penny presents fun ways to turn that post-Christmas frown upside down. From “pretending it’s summer” by eating ice cream and swimming in a (heated) pool; to going somewhere sunny (our picks might just “Surround yourself have you packing your with the dreamers bags before you finish and the doers, reading); warming up the believers and with hot soup, a stiff thinkers, but most cocktail, or mug of cocoa; of all, surround embracing the outdoors yourself with courtesy of a hike, bike those who see ride, or trip to the slopes; the greatness and chasing the (natural) within you, even light at one of our region’s when you don’t sun-soaked museums or see it yourself.”— restaurants, you might Edmund Lee find yourself loving winter just a little more. To ensure you don’t fall sick, we even have tips from medical pros on how to boost your immunity (Hint: Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night). Consider it your guide to help you survive, and thrive, this month—and the rest of 2018. Speaking of staying healthy, in Swag (page 30), Sabrina Gonzalez helps you gear up with “14 Workout Essentials,” because we all know that looking fit helps inspire us to get fit; in The 10 Spot (page 16), Tara Mendanha gives us a rundown of her favorite figure-friendly (but still flavor-packed) foods from area eateries, so you can dine out and still stick to that diet; and, finally, flip to The Hot List (page 54) for the top salad bars in town, because who doesn’t love being in charge of what gets put on their plate? In writing this month’s note, I learned a fun fact about January—the name is thought to have originated from Janus, the Roman god of new beginnings and endings, who was usually depicted with two faces, one looking into the past and the other looking toward the future. As you welcome 2018, I hope you hold the memories from 2017 dear to your heart, and face the new year with compassion, hope, and happiness. Cheers!

ewly appointed Rocklin and Lincoln Fire Chief Bill Hack has been working in fire service for over two decades, but he didn’t always know this was the path he wanted to take. As a young man working as an environmental consultant, he was secretly drawn to the model of service set by his father, a police officer. “He was a man of few words, but I learned professionalism, honor, and integrity from him,” Hack reminisces. When a friend encouraged him to give the fire service a try, he barely gave it a second thought. As a former college football player, he was drawn to the athleticism of the job, not to mention

the chance to follow in his father’s footsteps as a public servant. Chief Hack comes to the region after working his way up the ranks for over two decades with the Chico Fire Department. During last year’s wildfire season, the Rocklin and Lincoln departments sent apparatus and personnel to the hardest-hit areas, to help out wherever there was a need. He’s also active on numerous local and state boards— including the American Cancer Society Northern California Leadership Council—and is the area director for the California Fire Chiefs Association. As a father of two young boys, he aims to pass down the same values he learned from his own father. “I try to teach them honor and integrity.” —Amber Foster

CITRUS

NUTRITION // Citrus, which provides a punch of vitamin C and antioxidants, is a great way to put sunshine on your plate this time of year. Numerous types are fresh right now and can be found at farmers’ markets, including blood oranges, pomelos, and kumquats. The blood orange is a variety of orange with a distinctive, crimson flesh, which develops when the fruit matures at low temperatures during the night, due to a particular antioxidant pigment. Blood oranges have a bit of a raspberry-like flavor, in addition to the usual citrus notes and are great as a fresh-squeezed juice, or eaten as is. Pomelos are a large citrus fruit, often pale green to yellow when ripe, with a sweet, fragrant, grapefruit-like flavor and very little of the grapefruit bitterness. The flesh tends to be drier than a grapefruit or orange, so it can easily be added to a dish, and is great with firm fish, like swordfish. The hardy little kumquat is an olive-sized, oval-shaped mini orange. The whole fruit is edible, with a quick burst of sweet and sour flavor, but it also makes a great marmalade and is a nice, colorful addition to green salads. DID YOU KNOW? // Buddha’s hand, or fingered citron, is an alien-looking fruit with finger-like sections. With no juice or pulp, the fruit is prized for its form and aroma. The lemon blossom fragrance is fantastic when infused in alcohols, such as vodka and gin. Since the whole fruit can be used, it’s also perfect for candying.

Citrus Fennel Whole Roasted Fish

For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat, and local products, visit placergrown.org.

SELECTION AND STORAGE // It’s important to note that citrus is picked at optimal ripeness, and will not ripen further on the counter. Knowing that, you should look for fruit with clear, blemish-free rinds that feel heavy. Avoid citrus with soft, tender spots or wrinkled skin. Smell the citrus and choose the ones with a strong, sweet smell. You can always ask the grower FOR THE RECIPE TO MAKE CITRUS FENNEL WHOLE ROASTED FISH, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM.

CATCH

ALL

Celebrate National Blood Donor Month As the season of giving comes to a close, we often get back into the swing of things without thinking that help is still needed in a big way. When it comes to giving blood, donations typically drop at the start of a new year, hence why January is National Blood Donor Month. "Every two seconds, someone needs blood, and there is no artificial substitute—only another person can give this gift," explains BloodSource Communications Manager Vicki Wolfe. "Blood is a perishable product with a shelf life of only 42 days, so the blood supply must constantly be replenished to help meet the needs of patients," adds Christine Welch, communications manager for American Red Cross California Blood Services Region. If you're hesitant to give blood, keep in mind that even the possibility of saving lives is worth a slight pinch. Bring along a book or music, and relax—donor center volunteers are there to help you feel comfortable. Less than four out of 10 people are able to donate blood at any given time, making it imperative that eligible donors set aside time to help. Those unable to donate can still help, however. According to Wolfe, "People can volunteer with BloodSource, be ambassadors for a safe and plentiful blood supply, or accompany friends and family members to a donor center." Welch also encourages individuals to set up a “SleevesUp” virtual blood drive (redcrossblood. org/sleevesup) through the American Red Cross, where you can invite friends and family to donate and set collection goals in your name or the name of a loved one. —Emily Peter For more information, visit bloodsource.org or redcross.org/give-blood.

for a sample, too! Store some on the counter, and the rest in a cool, dry location. Make sure to throw out any fruit that starts to rot, so it doesn’t spread throughout your citrus.

ASK THE Expert

What are the advantages of assisted living?

Assisted living is an option for older adults who aren’t only seeking safety and security, but also a life-enriching experience. It’s an opportunity for individuals to enhance the quality of their lives through social, educational, and experiential opportunities. It’s been proven that loneliness can reduce an older adult’s life expectancy; in fact, people who are active and socializing with others tend to be healthier and happier. Health issues, such as high blood pressure and other conditions, can be minimized in an environment where

ranite Bay native Ali Futrell graduated with a degree in painting and a minor in design and technology from San Francisco Art Institute. Now back in Placer County, she continues to produce vibrant, large-scale, mixed media paintings in her Midtown Sacramento art studio, as well as murals for various public projects, including Hemlock Alley in San Francisco, Climb Real Estate in Walnut Creek, and an installation for Music Tastes Good, a festival in Long Beach. Futrell is also the creative event coordinator at the Arts Council of Placer County, the owner of a henna body art business, and has started providing mobile paint parties and events to teach all ages. “I love being able to continuously involve Mural at 7-Eleven: Day and Night

multiple mediums in my practice,” shares Futrell. “There’s never a dull moment!”

Human Nature

HLB: DESCRIBE SOME OF YOUR MORE RECENT WORKS AND THEIR MEANING. AF: My last series—themed around ideas of beauty, gender, and the inner ego—were rooted from my experience attending San Francisco Art Institute. [It was there when] I first started searching for a concept in a city I was unfamiliar with, finding that I could expand on something I was most familiar with—my own body. I was able to create a 10-piece, large-scale oil painting series that had a relative foundation. The content involved complex compositions and narratives by using life-sized figures, party props, performance, and dramatic color—the latter of which I used to enhance the story and seduce the viewer through rich pigments and saturated hues. Themes of beauty, gender, and the inner ego are included through these performative female figures and celebrate confidence, self-acceptance, and glamour, provoking stereotypes around female identity.

HLB: WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCES? AF: My grandfather, Larry Welden, who was a watercolor artist and well-loved art teacher at Sacramento City College. He gave me my first art lessons as a toddler and although he has passed, to this day I try to channel his energy and talents, as he is a huge part of my artistic motivation. HLB: ARE THERE ANY CHALLENGES IN CREATING LARGE-SCALE WORKS? AF: My professors encouraged me to create large work—feeling my ideas and images should be brought to life through a life-sized approach. After attempting this method for the first time, I fell in love with the scale. Everything about it felt right—the size of the brushes, the brushstroke gestures, and the January 20-February 3 – Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! lack of attention to small details. The two downsides I’ve This energetic, educational, and fast-paced musical— found, so far, are the higher cost and the transportation, presented by Roseville which becomes quite difficult; other than that, I love the Theatre Arts Academy— features zany, loveable challenges.

artbeat

characters, catchy melodies, upbeat dancing, and witty banter. Show times vary. rosevilletheatreartsacademy. com

HLB: WHY IS ART SO VITAL IN TODAY’S WORLD? AF: Not only is it an outlet for humans to express their emotions, feelings, and opinions, but it can also be used as a tool to share meaningful messages, educate about cultures, and draw attention to the beauty in our world. I think that with creativity and resourcefulness, like-minded artists can achieve great things. alifutrell.com

Material World 5 Kitchen Countertops

very kitchen has countertops, yet oftentimes, not much thought goes into the vast array of materials available. As the workhorses

Quartz

of the kitchen, they should be able to stand up to wear and tear beyond their aesthetics. When making a selection, it’s important to consider the different characteristics of each material, how you’ll be using them in your own kitchen, how durable they need to be, and if you’re OK with a natural patina. To determine which countertop best suits you and your needs, weigh the pros and cons of these options.

QUARTZ  Quartz countertops are created from a compound to your exact specifications, using a resin and particles of very finely ground quartz, and can be polished to a high shine and mimic the look of marble. Since it’s manufactured, you can get any color, pattern, texture, and finish imaginable. It’s also very durable; is resistant to scratches, chips, and breaks; won’t need to be sealed; and is non-porous, so it’s stain- and bacteria-resistant. Keep in mind, however, that quartz tends to be more expensive, and is not as heat-resisGranite

GRANITE   Granite is a natural stone that’s quarried from all over the world. It goes through an extensive polishing process to get shiny but can also be honed for a matte finish, and is considered one of the most beautiful countertop materials. Available in limited colors and natural patterns, you’ll likely search for the perfect slab to fit your home. Granite is eco-friendly—since it’s naturally harvested—has excellent durability, and is heat- and stain-resistant (if you take proper care of it). The major con is the sealing needed to maintain it. If it’s improperly sealed or you don’t reseal it when needed, it can become porous, which can lead to staining, bacteria, and possibly breaking. The maintenance is similar to that of marble, which also tends to be just as expensive as granite.   Price: $$$$

WOOD Butcher block is the most common and popular form of wood countertops, and is sometimes mixed with quartz or granite throughout the kitchen, like on the prep island or near the oven. Wood countertops can be made from reclaimed wood or bamboo for an eco-friendly option, add a warm and beautiful touch to any kitchen, and work well for those who enjoy baking and will be doing a lot of food preparation. You can also count on it being one of the least expensive countertop options. Wood tops do have to be sealed quite often to keep water out, as it can warp and pull apart the wood as well as hold bacteria in and stain. Price: $$

CONCRETE  Usually one thinks of concrete as being heavy and cumbersome, but new materials make it a light yet durable and trendy choice. Durability is, in fact, one of the biggest pros of concrete, as well as shape and size customization. You can also etch, stain, or press tiles into it. Concrete countertops require about as much sealing and maintenance as granite or marble, and can be expensive to install. Price: $$$

SOLID SURFACE  Solid surface countertops are becoming extremely popular. Made from a synthetic material, like acrylic, you can get them in nearly any color, so they remain the most versatile and durable product out there. They can be patterned to mimic granite or quartz and yet don’t need the maintenance of those materials. They’re not porous and therefore won’t stain or hold bacteria; plus, they’re more affordable than their stone counterparts. You may find they’re not as heat-resistant as quartz and may scratch occasionally, but that can be fixed easily. While they don’t provide the same high shine and luxe look as stone, they do fit in well with a modern or

traditional look.   Price: $$ photo of Kerrie L. Kelly by DANTE FONTANA

HIT THE SLOPES

If you’re looking for heritage, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows has it— after all, they hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics. Squaw has a reputation for being an extreme-skier mecca, and it’s a huge place (6,000 acres of skiing and riding), but don’t let that shy you away—there’s plenty of room for beginners and moderate skiers here as well. And if you don’t ski, that’s OK: Ride the aerial tram and take in the spectacular view! 1960 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley, 800-403-0206, squawalpine.com Northstar California has a well-earned reputation for being a glitzy family-friendly resort, and it shares a lot in common with Disneyland— kids love it, adults love it, but it’ll definitely clean out your pockets. Extreme-skiers tend to flock elsewhere, so you’ll find the pace here pretty easygoing. Plus, they have great snowmaking facilities, so there’s always powder—no matter what the weather’s doing. 5001 Northstar Drive, Truckee, 800-466-6784, northstarcalifornia.com A step down from the hugeness of Squaw and Northstar, Sierra-atTahoe takes things a little easier than their larger neighbors. There’s no resort here, for one thing—it’s all about the skiing. The overall vibe is family-friendly and it’s less expensive, which helps put a smile on parents’ faces. Sierra-at-Tahoe is also ideal for beginners, and the laid-back atmosphere provides a nice confidence booster for shy skiers who get intimidated by big crowds. 1111 Sierra at Tahoe Road, Twin Bridges, 530659-7453, sierraattahoe.com JANUARY 2018 // stylergbr.com

Remember the days when skiing wasn’t glitzy and fancy? That’s Homewood Mountain Resort. Things are down-to-earth here, and they let the spectacular views do all the talking. In other words, you won’t find any scenesters here, just scenery. There are better places to go for beginners, but if you already know your way around the slopes and you hate the vibe of bigger resorts, Homewood might just be the place for you. 5145 West Lake Boulevard, Homewood, 530-525-2992, skihomewood.com

EMBRACE THE OUTDOORS

Little shade and lots of exposure during summer makes Miner’s Ravine Trail in Roseville the perfect place to take a stroll (or go for a bike ride) in winter. It’s a paved, out-and-back trail that’s roughly eight miles, so you can pick your distance. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, family-friendly, and suits whatever pace you’re setting, whether on two feet or two wheels. alltrails.com/trail/us/ california/miners-ravine-trail Have some fresh air fun in your own backyard at Rocklin’s Whitney Oaks Trails.

GO SOMEWHERE SUNNY Oceanside

Don’t overlook San Diego’s smaller, less expensive, and closer-to-getto-but-just-as-sunny sister city, Oceanside, as your winter vacation spot. The temperature doesn’t get much below 65, so while it’s not tropical, it’s warm enough to walk around in a T-shirt. Gorgeous wide sandy beaches, a picturesque harbor that’s perfect for sea kayaking, an emerging arts and culture scene, and great craft beer (try Bagby Beer Company and Breakwater Brewing) and food (the burger at 608—featuring dry-aged beef, melty cheddar, pickles, crispy onions, and a chili aioli that’s scratch-made using house-fermented chiles—is seriously to die for) make it an ideal destination for couples and families alike. Book an “ocean-side” room at the surf-inspired SpringHill Suites by Marriott Oceanside for easy access to the above-mentioned activities and a killer continental breakfast.

Las Vegas

Roll the dice on Vegas this winter. Since the daytime average high is in the 60s, you can go out of doors during the day and not burst into flames, which means if you’re not a gambler, there’s even more to do and see! Take advantage of that mild January desert weather and book a tour at the Neon Museum. Tip: The museum offers combo ticket packages with the latest Vegas newcomer, The Mob Museum, so you can check out two great Vegas attractions. There’s great sightseeing to be had in the area, too—take a drive and see the Hoover Dam, a breathtaking monument to engineering that’s just 40 minutes away from Vegas by car, or take in a show like Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil at Mandalay Bay.

SEDONA

STAY HEALTHY

Shideh Chinichian, MD, a family medicine physician with Mercy Medical Group in El Dorado Hills, recommends the following tips to boost your immune system during winter months:

Lake Havasu City

With its proximity to Southern California, Las Vegas and Phoenix, Lake Havasu City is an undiscovered destination that promises good (warm) times for the whole family. Featuring more than 300 days of sunshine a year, 400 miles of stunning coastline, and 60 miles of navigable waterways, Western Arizona’s desert playground is not to be missed. Book a stay at Heat Hotel (we recommend the Inferno Suite, featuring an oversized shower and color-changing LED lights), a super cool boutique property on the shores of Lake Havasu with unparalleled views of the water and London Bridge (an aqueduct built in the 1830s that formerly spanned the River Thames in London) plus a lakefront lounge and complimentary continental breakfast. Golfing, hot air balloon adventures, scenic hiking trails, and water sports are all a stone’s throw away.

Sedona

If you’re more serious about the desert experience this winter, get your bohemian lifestyle on and go full desert in Sedona where high temperatures range in the 60s during January. Rent a yurt (airbnb. com/rooms/15807158) or a geodesic dome (airbnb.com/rooms/578314) or take advantage of the low-priced hotel accommodations in the area. And since Sedona is located roughly 100 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, it’s a great time of year to see one of our great natural wonders sans crowd.

Miami

Make like the sunbirds and fly down to Miami, where the average temps this month range in the 70s, and plenty of nightlife, sightseeing, and food (so much food!) await. Indulge in a café con leche, a Cuban sandwich, and a frita (a spicy hamburger topped with matchstick deep-fried potatoes); fill your belly full of delicious stone crab; chow down on good swamp food like gator bites or frogs legs; or savor Jamaican, West Indian, and Venezuelan food…I could go on (cue Willy Wonka’s “World of Pure Imagination” song).

Kihei

Located on the Southwest shore of Maui, not far from Wailea, Kihei is a great pick for “under the radar” affordable accommodations; and weather-wise, the temperature averages a balmy 80 degrees. Since it’s located on the leeward (sheltered) side of the island, you’ll also find there’s less rain. Kihei is located close to the stunningly picturesque Road to Hana and Haleakalā volcano, so you can plan some great bike rides or hikes. What’s more, January is prime whale time, so make sure you schedule a whale-watching trip!

• Keep a healthy lifestyle by managing your stress! Sleep, diet, and exercise can all influence your stress levels, so keep a close eye on those factors. Maintaining a healthy weight can also help your immune system stay healthy and high functioning. • Take supplements with immune-boosting nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, omega 3, and probiotics. • Incorporate foods that can boost your immune function, like garlic, ginger, onion, black pepper, turmeric, and green tea. • Drink plenty of water and keep well hydrated. Amandeep Bajwa, MD, a family medicine physician with Mercy Medical Group in Rocklin, says the secrets to boost one’s immunity during the winter months are surprisingly simple. Dr. Bajwa suggests you: • Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night. • Eliminate processed foods as often as possible, and opt for a balanced diet full of colorful fruits and vegetables, and protein. • Exercise, even when it’s cold outside, as frequent physical activity will help boost your immunity. • Receive the influenza vaccine (flu shot). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone over the age of six months should get the vaccine once a year ahead of flu season, which lasts from October to May.

DINING SPOTLIGHT

Pink Martini Bar and Bistro Shaking Things Up

Brick Chicken

martini bar in Rocklin is remarkable enough, but add to that a name fitting an episode of Sex and the City, and you get a sense of the Oliver brothers’ (Kyle and Matthew from House of Oliver) vision for their new venue: Pink Martini. Located in Rocklin’s Blue Oaks Town Center, the bar and bistro has a hip, nightclub-like vibe—even on a Sunday afternoon, when I arrived for a late brunch dressed

tragically unhip. Concrete floors, grey walls, and a black bar highlighted by neon pink bar lights reinforce the sensation of having never left last night’s fun and festivities. The spacious outdoor patio provides a respite for those seeking to improve their levels of vitamin D and O2; and for the rest of us…ahem, you, a Bloody Mary of soon-to-be legendary status. “The Remedy,” as it’s billed, is a chimney glass filled with their

ALSO ON THE DINNER MENU IS THE APTLY NAMED BRICK CHICKEN, A HALF - CHICKEN GRILLED UNDER A BRICK —

Clockwise starting top left: Chicken and Waffle, Smoked Salmon Crepe, Lime Meringue Tart, “The Remedy,” and Chardonnay Mussels

ENSURING THE BIRD COOKS EVENLY AND QUICKLY, AND THE SKIN IS CRISPY AND DELICIOUS. THE LUCKY FOWL IS THEN SMOTHERED IN SUMPTUOUS CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND A DECADENT CHICKEN JUS AND SERVED WITH STEAMED VEGETABLES.

house-made Bloody Mary mix, ice and the appropriate clear spirit, topped with a skewered shrimp, and drum roll please, a chicken and waffle sandwich with bacon (because, why not?). Now that’s the way to start a Sunday brunch…or any brunch, or any Sunday for that matter. The chicken and waffle portion of this behemoth can be ordered as a separate brunch item and includes a fried chicken breast with house-made hot sauce, a Belgium waffle, and rich maple syrup. If you’re not feeling the need for a “Remedy,” you might want to start with the Smoked Salmon Crepe. The salmon is hot-smoked—vs. cold-smoked lox style—and wrapped in a thin, golden pancake that has a tinge of sweetness, with briny capers, and a creamy sauce on top.

If you’re planning on an appetizer before dinner, try the Chardonnay Mussels. The sweet, tender mollusks and white wine, garlic, and shallot-infused broth beg to be slurped from the bowl (I told you I was unhip!). Also on the dinner menu is the aptly named Brick Chicken, a half-chicken grilled under a brick—ensuring the bird cooks evenly and quickly, and the skin is crispy and delicious. The lucky fowl is then smothered in sumptuous chanterelle mushrooms and a decadent chicken jus and served with steamed vegetables. When it comes to dessert, the Lime Meringue Tart—a perfectly tart lime curd crowned with torched meringue and served in a martini glass with a shortbread cookie—is a playful take on the classic pie, and one of many musts at Pink Martini.

Messy’s Tacos and Treats // On first glance, Messy’s looked like a simple roadside taco stand, but one look at the menu

convinced me otherwise. In addition to classic Mexican favorites, hungry guests can also enjoy breakfast burritos (chorizo, bacon, or sweet potato and black bean), a cheddar-and-green-chili stuffed churro, and even sundaes and milkshakes—making the decision-making process nearly impossible. I was here for the tacos, but the chef recommended their carne asada nachos, to which I curiously obliged—crossing my fingers that they wouldn’t include fake cheese sauce. With a blue raspberry Italian soda in hand (refreshing and pretty), I was in for a real “treat” as the piping hot nachos arrived. The dish began with some of the tastiest homemade chips I’ve had—fresh but not greasy, and quite sturdy to hold up to all the toppings. I was thrilled to find them smothered in a creamy, homemade queso sauce, followed by a layer of black beans covered with smoky salsa, cool sour cream, creamy guac (additional charge), and a generous portion of thinly sliced, tender carne asada. Finished with a sprinkling of queso fresco, tomatoes, and green onions, it tasted as good as it looked. I would’ve liked cilantro instead of green onions, but can you really get picky when you’re diving into a plate of perfectly loaded nachos?

THE HOT LIST

Favorite Salad Bars compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA

All hail the salad bar! A little of this, a little of that—they give diners total creative freedom to make a meal that meets their taste buds’ standards. Luckily, we have some pretty satisfying options in our backyard. Lettuce introduce you to a few of our faves. In no particular order…

“Food fast doesn’t have to be fast food.

Nugget Markets’ salad bar always gives me a healthy alternative to anything from a drive-through. It’s fresh, reasonably priced (around $8.99 per pound), and loaded with veggies, proteins, toppings, homemade dressings, and several pasta and grain salads. You can’t beat it—plus it’s prepared by the person I trust most: me!” nuggetmarket.com

“The build-your-own salads at Jack’s Urban Eats are like a (healthy) choose your own adventure. Pick your lettuce, dressing, and six toppings, then wait for the staff to perfectly mix everything, as the flavors meld together in perfect salad harmony. My go-to is mixed greens with roasted beets, blue cheese, mapleglazed walnuts, quinoa, Fuji apples, and sundried cranberries with house-made balsamic vinaigrette. But no salad from Jack’s is complete without a side of Urban Fries—crisp French fries topped with spicy chili oil, blue cheese, and chili flakes.” jacksurbaneats.com

stylergbr.com // JANUARY 2018 //

“Buttercup Pantry Restaurant in Placerville has offered their classic, no-fuss salad bar for years. Whether you want to make-your-own side salad in addition to ordering a regular entrée ($7.99 for one trip) or choose it as your meal ($9.75 for all-you-can-eat), the variety of fresh fruits and veggies, selection of side salads, freshbaked breads (the cornbread muffins are to die for) and piping hot soups (all made inhouse) always satisfy. The best part? The set price means you can pile it as high as you want—weight be damned!” 530-621-1320

“Whether you’re craving pork carnitas, kung pao chicken, pizza and pasta, or pastries aplenty, Waterfall Buffet at Red Hawk Casino delivers. But it’s their salad bar that always turns my hangry frown upside down. Full of a seasonal fruit display, assorted cheeses, prepared salads like cranberry-apple with candied walnuts, plus an impressive assortment of condiments and dressings, it’s an easy way to pack in your daily dose of produce. Just don’t forget to come hungry and wear stretch pants!” redhawkcasino.com/ dining/waterfall-buffet

“Though I go to Raku Sushi for the made-to-order, all-you-can eat rolls, nigiri, maki, and seriously addicting (still warm) donuts, their salad bar is not to be missed. While waiting for the main event (i.e., the sushi), I always load up on edamame, seasoned cucumbers, seaweed salad, salsa-topped mussels, cabbage slaw, and perfectly al dente green beans. Talk about a tasty way to begin a gluttonous feast.” rakurestaurant.com

“Every time I step foot in Whole Foods Market I’m like a kid in a candy store. For a vegan, their salad bar is a dream come true. With offerings like sesame tofu that my meat-loving husband also loves, plus a rainbow of organic, fresh-picked produce—all precisely sliced and diced—nuts aplenty, and a mouthwatering lemony avocado dressing, it’s the ultimate in next-level lunching.” wholefoodsmarket.com

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Cream granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and butter extract; beat until combined. Mix in baking powder, salt, and flour. Stir in sprinkles.

Press into prepared pan (dough is sticky; spray your hands with cooking spray to avoid it sticking to your hands). Bake for about 22-24 minutes. They’ll be slightly golden, but still have the slightest jiggle in the center, and will set as they cool. Cool completely before frosting.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

I opened my practice because I’ve always loved working with older adults.As the population ages, families need advocates who understand cognitive and emotional changes in their loved ones. It can be difficult to face the transitions that come with retirement, loss of physical function, memory decline, loss of independence, and other stresses. It’s rewarding to help families navigate these changes through treatment planning that incorporates biological, psychological, and social approaches.

I offer unique crystals from around the world that have been charged with the power of the vortex to help you have positive transformations. No matter what’s blocking you, my crystals will help you become balanced. They’re great for transforming any stagnant energy that has been lingering around or even help make movement in your office to bring in more prosperity. I've been working with crystals for over 30 years and chosen only the highest quality ones with high vibrations, then personally charged them again just for you. Each crystal has such powerful energy, and they’re waiting for you to be the first to touch them and take home. When purchasing a crystal, you get guidance on which one is best for you and a free lesson on how to use the one you pick. Crystal shops are becoming quite popular and—thanks to my customers—I finally decided to open a shop of my own.

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? My first job out of college was a clerical position at the Over 60 Health Center in Berkeley. Working there, I decided I wanted to do more for the aging community, so I applied for medical school and was accepted to UC Irvine.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I recently participated in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's and the Seniors First event in Loomis. I’ve also spoken at caregiver support groups and surround myself with others who share the same passion for making a difference in the lives of older adults.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Having an amazing husband and family. They support everything I do; without them, I would have failed.

What’s your hidden talent? Knowing people’s paths in life and being intuitive—it’s a great gift!

What’s your biggest job perk?

To the gym! Disneyland is too far.

Seeing transformation in people’s lives when their chakras become unblocked and they become balanced.

What’s your hidden talent?

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

I used to tap dance competitively. I’ve also developed a love for body combat and recently became a certified instructor.

Zocalo.

What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

A park, the woods, or the lake.

My second Friday of the month wine-sharing group.

And finally, customer service is…?

Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

And finally, customer service is…? Priority!

Meeting my patients and families where they are while acting as an educator and advocate; treating them as individuals and not chart numbers.
