A
| editor’s letter | s my two-and-a-half-year-old begins to grasp the excitement surrounding the season (she’s been belting out “Jingle Bells” for months and begging to wear her candy cane pajamas since summertime…), it makes the holidays even more magical. When I first asked what she wanted for Christmas, I was worried it might be something unattainable (a unicorn? a giant sandbox?), but instead, she answered, without hesitation: “Cookies!” The more I think about it, the more it makes sense (she’s always had an insatiable appetite) and the more relieved I am. It’s a request I’m fairly certain can be fulfilled—and without doing much damage to my wallet. In fact, in this month’s Taste department, “Sweeten the Season” (page 86), local bakers share their most coveted cookie recipes—from peppermint shortbread to classic chocolate chip to gingerbread—so there’s no excuse not to make my little lady’s wish come true. If your loved ones are hoping for something more than just sweet treats come Christmas morning, you’re in luck. In our “Holiday Gift Guide” (page 57), we present over 50 fabulous finds—toys, clothes, garden goods, home décor, jewelry, and more—from our favorite mom-and-pop places. Organized by price, there’s something for every budget, every age, and every interest. Forget shopping on Amazon (and all the unnecessary packaging and shipping costs—not to mention delays—incurred with it, too), and spend your bucks locally—at the bevy of boutiques, bookshops, and other innovative, independent businesses that make our main (and surrounding) streets shine. “ Yo u c a n t e l l But the holiday hoopla doesn’t stop there. In Arts a lot about & Culture (page 26), Bella Nolen shares a roundup of the month’s most festive shows, including a familya person friendly performance full of merry music, song, and by the way dance (A Hawkins Holiday from December 4-5); in The 10 Spot (page 18), Tara Mendanha tells you 10 wonderful they handle ways to celebrate the season—from tree farms to craft three things: fairs to holiday home tours; and in Sip on This (page 84), learn how to make five buzzworthy cocktails a rainy day, that ’ ll keep your “spirits” bright. Finally, if you’re lost luggage, looking to give to those less fortunate but unsure where or how to help, flip to “Make it Merry” (page and tangled 22) for a list of local toy and clothing drives. Many Christmas are part of larger events, too, so you can follow your good deed with some good fun (wine tasting anyone?). tree lights.” Clean out your kids’ coat closets, grab an extra toy or two on your next shopping spree (Wit & Whimsy is full —Maya Angelou of fantastical finds), and make someone’s Christmas a little bit brighter and a whole lot warmer. Happy holidays, dear readers! Here’s hoping yours is filled with love, laughter, and copious amounts of cookies. See you in 2022!

There are many ways to do the latter, the easiest being contributing to toy and clothing drives in the area. These drives are essential to the community in providing people (mostly children) with the joy and warmth (literally) of the holiday season. Make like Mr. or Mrs. Claus, find a cause close to you, and consider making someone’s Christmas merry and bright.

Under the Weather 7 WI N T E R W E L L NE SS TIPS 1
Winter has come and with it, gray skies and days shrouded in gloom. We asked local experts for advice on how to get through the season with our mental and physical health intact. Here’s what they said.
34
stylemg.com
| DECEMBER 2021 |
Remember the trifecta. Exercise. Any form of physical activity during winter helps reduce stress and
anxiety, enhances mood, and boosts your immune system. It also releases happiness hormones and will lift your spirits and energy levels like nothing else. So, don’t talk yourself out of it: Schedule a workout and get it done!
Hydration. One of the best things you can do for your health is to drink optimal amounts of water every day. Water plays a big role in your health, including increased metabolism, skin hydration, and immune health. Your body is mostly made of water, so making sure you stay hydrated will help keep you healthy. Diet. Allowing yourself sweet treats, in moderation, can keep you from feeling
deprived. Finding a healthy balance is key, however, as poor nutrition can harm your immune system, contribute to lower energy levels, and increase your vulnerability to infections. Balance the indulgences with a healthy, seasonal diet, and eat foods high in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids to give your body the essentials it needs to function. —Lisa Robinson, General Manager; Mark Cavallaro, Head Personal Trainer; and Heather Crivellone, Nutritionist & Personal Trainer, Roseville Health & Wellness Center, rosevillehwc.com

3 Simplify this season.

4 Laugh about it.
Is humor a healthy habit? Absolutely! A silly, sunny attitude will shift any situation. Using humor in your self-talk is a big boost to positive energy. Just keep it simple. If you’re stuck or stressed, ask yourself, “If this was a comical scenario, what could I laugh about?” Welcome the levity and be willing to giggle at yourself. Another way to boost your mood is to activate your creativity, whether it’s through conversations, eating and cooking, making something, or problemsolving. Imagine you’re driving through winter with a perpetually full tank, and all you must do is not take yourself so seriously (humor) and honor yourself with what matters most (creativity). —Jenifer Novak Landers Life Coach Coaching, Creativity, Children’s Books, fullyexpressedpotential.com
5 Maintain your mental health.
Here are some healthy practices you can utilize when seasonal affective disorder, compassion fatigue, or just plain burnout is causing you to feel down. • Take a mental health day. If you’re
36
stylemg.com
| DECEMBER 2021 |
experiencing changes in sleep patterns, eating patterns, difficulties completing small tasks, feeling stressed and fatigued, becoming more disorganized and apathetic about things that once brought you joy—you need a mental health day. Many people feel guilty about taking one, but give yourself permission anyway— that is the antidote. It may look like a relaxing day in bed with a book or lunch with a dear friend; if it’s soothing to your soul and relaxing to your mind, consider it a success! • Every morning—before your feet hit the floor, you reach for any electronics, or you cater to the needs of anyone else—start your day with intention by doing the following: 1. Ask yourself what you want to achieve, how you want to achieve it, and with what attitude. 2. Choose how you want to feel and experience situations throughout the day and how you want want to respond versus react. By setting these intentions, you’re more likely to create your circumstances rather than react to them, and ultimately feel more centered and grounded. —Kelly Bazzani, My Resilience Coach, myresiliencecoach.com
6 Experiment with elixirs.
This Fire Cider recipe, courtesy of herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, is amazing for preventing (or combating) colds and the flu. The catch is it takes four weeks to make, so get brewing! In a quart jar labeled with the date, add: • ¼ cup sliced horseradish (a top herb for combating sinus congestion and headaches)
/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags
• ¼ cup sliced ginger root (a warming circulatory herb that helps fight infection) • 1 head garlic cloves, peeled and chopped (poor man's penicillin) • 1 small onion, chopped (good for colds and the flu) • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (great cardiovascular herb) • Apple cider vinegar, enough to cover all ingredients (great digestive aid) • ¼ cup honey (soothing for inflamed tissues and organs) Mix ingredients, except honey, and let sit out for four weeks before straining. Add honey and stir. Stored in the refrigerator, it should last about three months. Use 1 teaspoon four times a day if you’re sick and 1 teaspoon daily for prevention. You can also add some olive oil to it and drizzle on top of salad. —Deborahe Prock, Naturopathic Practitioner, Dr. Deb’s Herbals, drdebsherbals.com
7 Create a well-oiled machine.
The key to optimal health is balance between your adrenals, thyroid, sex hormones, GI system, cardiovascular system, blood sugar, and lifestyle. Healthy adrenals maintain a strong immune system, and B vitamins help stabilize them. Adrenals and thyroid compensate for each other, while your sex hormones play a vital role in assisting your immune system. You have sex hormone receptors in your GI tract, and a healthy GI system is vital in keeping your immune system intact. Eating colored foods will provide you the phytonutrients needed to keep your cardiovascular system and blood sugar stable. —Denise R. Bogard, MD, FAARFM, ABAARM, Well Aging Med, bogardhealth.com

The holiday season creates a shift in routines and can bring on stress and the feeling of busyness, but there are ways to keep your mental and emotional health on track. Simplicity and maintaining healthy boundaries by not overcommitting yourself can improve your outlook. By taking charge of your schedule, you have more time to pause and stay present. If you find that this time of year is more challenging, consider seeking support from emotionally safe individuals in your life or professional support from a counselor or therapist.

Take a Hike
Browns Ravine South Shore Trail by RYAN MARTINEZ
LOCATED IN:
El Dorado Hills. DISTANCE:
13.1 miles out and back. DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
Moderate; heavily trafficked. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
This is a popular biking trail, so be aware of cyclists. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed. Also, there is lots of poison oak (and yes, it will still cause a rash even when the leaves are gone). Folsom Lake State Recreation Area charges a fee ($12) to enter. WHY WE LOVE IT:
Picture-perfect views of Folsom Lake and some serious but not terribly strenuous mileage to keep you moving through winter makes this a not-too-far-away favorite. When snow abounds and temps dip down in the Sierra, this hike is a great way to keep active. TRAIL NOTES:
Respect the trail and practice Leave No Trace ethics.

Morgan Oaks Eternal Preserve 421 Fleming Rd. • Lincoln 833-667-4266 • morganoaksgreenburial.com
reen burial is a meaningful, affordable and sustainable way of interment. Set amongst the rolling foothills of Placer County, a 160-acre nature preserve is home to meandering trails and old oaks. This is Morgan Oaks Eternal Preserve, a serene area for green burials, complete with exquisite natural beauty to honor a loved one’s memory.
G
Green burial has been a popular alternative to conventional burial that allows you or your loved one to return to the earth naturally after passing. “Although an age-old tradition, it has become better known for reducing the use of toxic materials and preservatives that may pollute the earth”, says Mark Heintz, co-founder of Morgan Oaks. “Our green burial services include full-body interment, cremation remains burial, remains scattering and memorial tress so we can meet the needs of all those that are environmentally conscious.” Morgan Oaks doesn’t look like a traditional cemetery. Visitors won’t see rows of tombstones but rather Interment Gardens surrounded by walking trails, oak trees and riparian areas throughout the preserve. As you move along through this deeply personal journey, we at Morgan Oaks want you to know that we’re here every step of the way. For more information visit https://www.morganoaksgreenburial.com.

Q: WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD BEGIN SWIM LESSONS?
RIBS
A: Teaching kids to swim should be a top priority for every family, as drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4. The earlier the better when introducing your child to the water. Getting water on their face and head in the bathtub or shower is a great place to start. With that said, students as young as three months old can take swim lessons (with a parent in the water, too). ©Monkey Business stock.adobe.com.

let it
shine by MEGAN WISKUS
ighting is one of the most important features in a home. Besides the obvious purposes of security and enabling you to see, it helps create warmth, mood, drama, and dimension—both in and outside the house—taking a space from ordinary to extraordinary. What’s the best way to achieve a well-lit home? Keep reading for some top tips from area pros.
L
RULE OF THREE According to Kathy McDavid, lighting consultant at Lighting Unlimited (lightingu.com), you should aim to have at least three sources of light in family rooms and bedrooms to create a comfortable mood—a goal that “can be achieved with bedside table lamps, a chandelier, and can lighting.” LIGHT-BULB MOMENT The color of light (how yellow or blue a bulb appears to be) is measured by kelvins (K), while

Top Lighting Tips
lumens, on the other hand, measure how bright a bulb is. Jane Reed, designer and co-owner of Brush Strokes Inc. Unique Remodeling and Design (uniquebrushstrokes. com), recommends “keeping the color of light the same in each room without going higher than 3,000K or investing in smart bulbs, since you can change the color and brightness to suit your mood and experiment with different effects.” Tammi Rollins, designer and owner of Hinge & Stone (hingeandstone.com), agrees that the bulbs you buy is imperative. “To help avoid glare, ambient lighting in a living room or dining room should be at least 1,500-3,000 lumens, whereas task lighting should be 400 lumens.”
MAKE A STATEMENT “Statement lights are great for entryways, dining rooms, or even above a bathtub,” says McDavid. “There are so many beautiful art-style fixtures—the choices are limitless.” In addition, she says there are no rules saying your cabinet hardware, faucets, and lighting finishes all need to be the same color or material, as “mixed metals are all the rage.”
A HEAD FOR HEIGHTS While good lighting creates depth and height in a home, Rollins says it’s important to choose proper fixtures based on the existing ceiling height. Another detail to keep in mind is lighting placement. “Hanging chandeliers or pendants too low is a big no-no. As a general rule of thumb, they should be six feet from the floor or three feet from the top of the table,” advises Rollins.
BRIGHTEN THE BATHROOM For an easy update to a bathroom’s aesthetic, replace overhead vanities with sconces. Shares McDavid: “It gives the bathroom a more modern look and brings the light down to illuminate your face, since overhead light creates shadows.” Rollins agrees that adding ample lighting over bathroom mirrors is a quick but effective way to brighten bathrooms.
THE KITCHEN IS KEY When it comes to illuminating a kitchen, Reed suggests task lighting for preparation and cooking (undercounter or hood lights) and a good overall light (canned lights). Open shelves and glass-fronted cabinets should also be lit to highlight anything on display and create impact, while pendants over a counter provide both light and add to the space’s overall aesthetic.

DIM IT DOWN All three designers concur that being able to adjust the brightness in a room by adding a dimmer switch is an easy way to add ambiance and create a mood. Says Reed, “You may need bright lights for a particular task, like cooking, but when that task is finished, you can use a dimmer to make the lighting more subtle.”
LET THE (NATURAL) LIGHT SHINE IN As important as the artificial light you bring into a home is, natural light shouldn’t be overlooked either. Whether it’s through big windows, light-colored window treatments, skylights, or white, bright interior paint, “incorporating natural light helps improve overall mood, health, and well-being,” says Rollins—plus it saves energy!

f you’ve been feeling down or nervous lately and if you’re wondering if you should pursue therapy, your primary care provider can help. “Mild depression and anxiety are very common and can be easily treated with low doses of medications that your primary care provider can prescribe,” explains David Santellan, NP, of Marshall Sierra Primary Medicine in Placerville. They can even help get you started on bipolar medications.

Feelings of anxiety don’t have to be as extreme such as having a panic attack or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after serving in combat. If you experience any three of the following symptoms, your doctor can help you manage your anxiety with medication:

“Your primary care provider has tools and the two of you can work together to identify if you might have depression or generalized anxiety disorder. They can prescribe medication to help get it under control,” says David. Starting with the lowest and safest dosage, your provider will make adjustments over the course of four to six weeks until you’re feeling better. If the dosage reaches a point where there may be adverse effects or interactions with other supplements or medications you take, they will refer you to a psychiatrist. Make an appointment with your Marshall primary care provider today to get relief from your mild depression or anxiety.

Marshall Earns Straight A’s from the Lown Institute
Marshall Recognized by American Heart Association
Marshall Medical Center has made the grade for several key performance indicators from the Lown Institute, Hospital Index. Marshall received A grades for:
The American Heart Association recently recognized Marshall Medical Center for its continued success using the Get With the Guidelines® program, earning the Stroke Gold Plus with Honor Roll Elite.
• National Social Responsibility • National Patient Outcomes • National Value of Care • National Clinical Outcomes • National Patient Safety • National Cost Efficiency • National Avoiding Overuse Marshall has demonstrated continued dedication to quality and patient safety. Providers and staff are encouraged, and recently, incentivized to submit reports of potential safety risks in order for leadership to correct processes before errors and adverse events occur. In fact, one of Marshall’s organizational goals is to increase reporting of risks by 10% each year. “Achieving these awards during a pandemic is something we’re especially proud of,” states Michelle NorrisEven, RN, Executive Director of Quality and Education for Marshall. “It’s an indication that we’ve taken extra steps to provide the highest level of care we can to our patients in the face of additional challenges.”
The stroke achievement marks 24 consecutive months that Marshall has met multiple measures for quality stroke treatment. Marshall Medical Center’s Emergency Department is a Stroke Center, certified by The Joint Commission. The dedicated stroke team includes a physician, registered nurse, phlebotomist, and CT technician and stands at the ready to respond to all potential stroke patients. Following protocols and national standards, Marshall’s Stroke Team upholds a high standard of care. Seconds matter when it comes to stroke treatment. Depending on the type of stroke, healthcare professionals may administer clot-busting or hemorrhaging-reduction medication to reverse the stroke. Emergency surgery may also be necessary to stop bleeding into the brain. “Every minute counts,” explains Scott Vasconcellos, MD, of Marshall Cardiology. “There is a short window of three hours from the first symptoms to combat permanent effects.”

COVER STORY
Crossing the Finish Line to Good Health
O
livier Dapremont, PhD, crossed the finish line at the Gold Country 5k presented by Marshall Medical Center with flying colors. But his was no ordinary victory. It also marked his graduation from Marshall’s cardiac rehabilitation program. And it was hard fought.
SPECIAL AD SECTION
Olivier leads a high stress life. He is an executive director at a pharmaceutical company and also coaches his son’s under 12 competitive soccer team. He has a family history of coronary artery diseasehis father passed away at the early age of 60 from a heart attack - “I have always been very aware of my elevated risk,” says Olivier. According to his labs and vital signs, Olivier was not yet at risk, but recently, with cholesterol numbers and blood pressure creeping up he was getting concerned, especially given the amount

of stress he had been feeling. He began taking blood pressure medication. He also requested a stress test, which came back normal. Recognizing that diabetes and heart disease are also closely linked, “I changed my diet towards more plant based food (with the occasional burger) and was able to lose about 40 pounds over the course of two years.” Regardless of the progress he made, he pushed his doctors to dig deeper and asked for a CT scan followed by an angiogram to assess further his health, knowing that the biggest risk factor for heart disease remains family history. As a result of the angiogram his doctors agreed he needed two stents placed to help return his body to normal functioning.
He then set a goal to run the Gold Country 5k on September 19. Olivier traveled from his home in Cameron Park to Placerville twice a week to work with Reggie Higashi, an exercise physiologist with Marshall Cardiac Rehabilitation. At Marshall he trained on the treadmill while keeping up with home workouts and running with his son’s soccer team. Under the watchful eye of Reggie and the Cardiac Rehab team, Olivier worked his way up to faster speeds and greater inclines. The weather on the day of the race was perfect for late summer, allowing Olivier to complete the 5k in 26.5 minutes, beating his goal of 30 minutes. Not only did Olivier reach his goal to finish the 5k, he is now burning ten times the calories than at rest. He’s been able to reduce his beta blockers and is off blood pressure medications. He lowered his body fat from 27% to 23%, and most importantly, “my mind is much more at ease knowing that I have a better chance to watch my son grow up.”
Marshall Medical Center is a leader in the cardiac rehab field and now offers Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehab virtually so you can do it from home or even on vacation. Patients receive a tablet with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, scale, pulse oximeter, automated blood pressure cuff, and heart rate monitor. The patient enters the data into their personal, private dashboard on the tablet and the staff at Marshall Cardiac Rehab can monitor their statistics to ensure they are remaining in a safe range during their exercise session. Patients get all the benefits of Marshall’s expert care from the comfort of home. Still want an in person experience?

39 Years Ago, Marshall Hospital Changed Our Lives
R
ecently, my now adult son, Kurtis asked, “I’ve been wondering, why would you adopt someone like me, with all my problems and disabilities? I’ve been so much work for you.”
Why, indeed, would someone adopt a severely abused child? As a toddler, Kurtis had been abandoned by his birth parents and adopted by his biological aunt and uncle, from whom he suffered horrible abuse. Kurtis was less than two years old when he moved into my heart in 1978. There are so many answers to Kurtis’ question; naiveté, arrogance, desperation, fear, compassion, love, but Kurtis wanted facts. I explained the process of adoptions in the 70s and how we trusted God to give us the child He had planned.
SPECIAL AD SECTION
In spite of my nursing background, Kurtis’ needs were overwhelming. He needed home teachers, physical, speech and occupational therapy, almost daily doctor appointments, and surgeries, which threatened to pull my usually organized self down in an undertow of activity.
6
But the day we walked into the late Dr. Gregory Dixon’s office at Marshall Medical Center, so tired that I began to cry, I knew I had found the help we needed. Dr. Dixon saw us right away — a weeping mother and her physically and developmentally disabled child. The compassion continued with the care we received at Marshall Hospital during Kurtis’ many stays there. We were consistently treated with empathy and understanding. No one ever treated us like we were |

lesser for having MediCal. There was never any hassle over charges, copays, deductibles, or fees. Some friends suggested I take Kurtis to a big name hospital in the valley for his surgery. They could not possibly know the trust and faith we had in Marshall. Marshall knew Kurtis, his story, and they loved him. It showed. I am now in a position to give back. Kurtis and I have discussed what should be done with my estate after it provides for us until the end of his life. We decided to give one million dollars to Marshall Foundation for Community Health, and hope that it will allow Marshall Hospital to continue their tradition of compassion and hope. —Mason K.

Where’s the Beef? What’s Really in Your Meat Substitute Burgers
“these products can be fairly high in carbohydrates” and if you’re using them to replace a burger, the bun adds even more carbs. Not only that, she adds, “this is a highly processed food product, which means it can contain a lot of sodium,” so people looking to maintain a heart healthy diet should look for other alternatives.
What’s the recommendation?
What’s in it?
Depending on the brand, meat substitutes can be soy-based, gluten-based, or made from pea protein. They are made to have the look, taste, and texture of meat
and have hit the markets to help meet the growing demand for sustainable foods to minimize the effect of animal products on the environment.
Are they good for you?
“It all depends on your goal,” explains Natalie. “If your goal is to be vegan or to simply lower your cholesterol, these alternatives are viable options.” However, if you’re looking to avoid genetically modified foods (GMOs), you may want to steer clear. Meat substitutes are commonly made with corn and soy, which are high on the GMO foods list. Natalie also warns that unlike meat,

ou’ve seen the commercials. You’ve noticed them on grocery store shelves. Your next door neighbor brought them to your last cookout. Meatless burger patties are suddenly everywhere. Natalie Patterson, a registered dietitian with Marshall Medical Center’s Diabetes and Nutrition Education Department, explains more about these mystery “meat” products.
Natalie reiterates that it all depends on your goal, whether it’s to be vegan, heart healthy, or just eating better food. She recommends replacing your 80/20 ground beef with a 93/7 blend to reduce the fat, or better yet, try using lean ground turkey. If you really want that “beef” f lavor, try using half lean ground beef and half lean ground poultry meat. If you want to avoid animal products completely, try looking for a homemade veggie patty recipe online using beans and whole grains so you can control the amount of salt you’re consuming. Not looking to do all that work? Simply grill or broil a portobello mushroom. They’re meaty, juicy, and have very few carbs.

esolutions. You make them every year and you’re lucky if you’re still keeping them by the time February rolls around. What can you do differently this year to be successful? Think SMART.
You may have heard of SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) goals for business, but the same acronym and philosophy can be applied to your New Year’s Resolutions. Specific – Instead of setting a vague goal to lose weight or eat more vegetables, get granular. How many pounds would you like to lose? Which vegetables and how many servings per day will you eat? Measurable – Make sure your goal has a numeric value that you can either increase or decrease. Achievable – Be realistic when you make your resolution. If veggies currently make an appearance on your plate once a month, a goal to eat five servings a day once January 1 hits may be a bit ambitious. Relevant – Make sure you’re setting a goal to make a change that you really care about, that’s personal to you. If you don’t care whether you lose weight, don’t make that your resolution. Focus on something you care about, like being able to chase your kids around at the park by increasing your daily physical activity. Time-bound – Give yourself a deadline, but make sure that’s realistic too. Your chances of losing 20 pounds in one month are slim, but losing a pound a week is a reasonable benchmark to work toward. Whatever you resolve to change in 2022, make sure you build in some healthy rewards along the way. If your goal is to run a marathon in December, give yourself a treat once you’re able to run five miles, then ten, and so on. Get a massage, buy a new snazzy pair of running shoes, or order that new cookbook you’ve had your eye on. Can’t think of rewards that don’t involve food? You’re not alone. A simple search online will provide you with hundreds of ideas you never would have thought of.

here was a bit of déjàvu as I stepped through the door of Flame & Fire at the Palladio. After all, I had been to this exact spot almost three years ago to the day for a review of a Brazilian steakhouse. I was struck with a sense of familiarity—a beautiful, sizeable space, pleasant music, and an inviting bar with patrons drinking wine, sangria, and creative cocktails. Beyond that was the bountiful market table, and from just out of view came the perfume of something primal and addicting: fire-roasted meat. I digress… Yes, there’s a new (Folsom’s only, in fact) Brazilian steakhouse in town—Flame & Fire, the sister to Roseville‘s restaurant of the same name. And you don’t have to be a carnivore to love this place. The market table is a vegetarian’s delight, and I made it a point to spend as much of my feasting capital at this side of the restaurant (it’s a buffet, by the way) before I sat down for the main event: Caligula’s party of meat on a skewer. Not that I don’t love roasted meat on a sword being sliced tableside…I could eat it until I explode. The market table on the night of my visit provided, among many other things, hearts of palm, roasted beets, asparagus, charcuterie, deviled eggs, seasonal gourmet salads, smoked salmon, cheeses, Brazilian specialties, and all the makings for a fresh green salad, including dressings and sauces (I loved the chimichurri) aplenty. A banquet for everyone! But the reason most of us come to a Brazilian steakhouse is obviously for the meat. And at Flame & Fire, there is no shortage of succulent proteins. But first, and worth mentioning, came their soft, warm cheese bread rolls: pão de queijo. I then sampled bacon-wrapped chicken, parmesan-crusted pork, pork ribs, leg of lamb, sirloin, Brazilian sausage (linguiça), tri-tip with cheese, and their delicious beef rib—all expertly carved by the restaurant’s gauchos. Most of the meats were seasoned with a salt mix that paired well with the roasting process. There were also delicious, house-made desserts on the menu (if you can manage another bite), including brigadeirao, (flourless chocolate cake), Brazilian-style flan, cheesecake, crème brûlée, and passion fruit mousse. The true test came a week later when I returned and a woman I met was waiting for her Brazilian friends to join her. We exchanged numbers, as I wanted to hear her friend’s comments about their experience. Turns out, they raved about it, which is testimony enough for me!

I’ve heard a lot of talk lately about “the best fried chicken” and the “best fried chicken sandwich.” I have a contender, maybe a winner…I’ll let you decide. I can tell you this; I arrived at Roostarz at 11 a.m. on a Monday and by 11:15 a.m. their sliders and nuggets were flying out the door. This isn’t over-breaded, roof-of-your-mouth-torturing-greasy-chicken parts. It’s lightly coated, juicy, chicken breast tenders with a nice crunch and big flavor. Roostarz’ menu is small—sliders, tenders, kale slaw (don’t be afraid of the “K” word—it’s delicious), and fries—but boasts plenty of options. I had the Jungle Fries, featuring two crispy chicken tenders (chopped) over cheese fries topped with “Starz” sauce; and Combo #2—a slider with kale slaw and cheese, a tender with pickles (on bread), and fries. The chicken on everything I ordered was so good I didn’t want to stop and take notes! They also have a side called Kale-N-Rooz (again, don’t be deterred by the “K” word) that I’ll order next time (two chopped crispy chicken tenders over kale slaw and served with pickles and Starz sauce). There’s a menu staring at you as soon as you enter with a huge thermometer on it, allowing you to choose your level of spice: no heat, mild, medium, hot, and the reaper! I believe I had medium, which was plenty hot but still allowed me to taste what I was eating. Fresh food, family-owned and operated, friendly service? You can’t go wrong here. Winner, winner (Roostarz) chicken dinner!

Sweeten the Season 5 Must-Make Christmas Cookies
| eat & drink | Taste
by MEGAN WISKUS
’Tis the season for baking cookies! If you’re looking for some new treats to try, keep reading. The recipes that follow are guaranteed to spread holiday cheer. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and spices. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high for 2 minutes until it’s light and fluffy. Add the egg and molasses and beat on medium until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. (The dough will be quite thick.) Divide the dough into thirds, form each third into a ball, flatten, and wrap with plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight. Remove from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Place one of the thirds of dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough until it’s ¼-inch thick. Cut the dough using cookie cutters and transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until slightly crisp but not darker in color. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

| DECEMBER 2021 |
¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature ½ cup dark brown sugar 1 large egg, room temperature ½ cup molasses
Whisk the icing ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until the mixture is smooth. The mixture should slowly drip, but not run, when poured from a spoon. If it’s too runny, add a little more sugar; if it’s too thick, add a little more milk. Spoon the icing into a piping bag or a plastic squeeze bottle and pipe onto the cookies. (You can also use a thick plastic bag with one corner of the bag cut off.)
FOR THE ICING
1 cup powdered sugar 1 ½ tbsp. milk ⅛ tsp. vanilla extract

Gingerbread Cookies
Cinnamon Sugar Cookies Recipe by Sweetz By Veez, 323-394-2013, sweetzbyveez.com, @sweetz_by_veez 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. salt 2 sticks salted butter, room temperature but not melted 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 tbsp. agave nectar 1 large egg, room temperature *Available at most grocery stores or online.
1 tsp. Mexican vanilla extract (standard vanilla works, too) *Cinnadust FOR THE ICING
4 cups powdered sugar 3 tbsp. meringue powder 10 tbsp. water 1 tsp. vanilla extract Food coloring
Make the icing. Mix powdered sugar and meringue powder in a standing mixer using the paddle attachment on low. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while mixing on low. Once fully combined add vanilla and turn up the speed to medium. Mix until icing becomes thick (about 3 minutes). Store in an airtight container to avoid the icing from getting hard. Add food coloring of your choice. Make the cookies. In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt with a whisk; set aside. In a standing mixer, combine butter, sugar, and agave nectar with the paddle attachment on medium until creamed together and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (You may also use a hand mixer but be sure not to overmix.) Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined and fluffy. Add dry ingredients to the bowl one cup at a time on low. Your dough is ready once it pulls away from the bowl. Roll dough between parchment paper and allow to chill for 1-2 hours before baking.

Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Pour a little Cinnadust on a small plate. Cut your cookies out and cover with Cinnadust before placing on your cookie sheet. Continue this process until your sheet is full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until you see a slight browning on the bottom of the cookies. Cool cookies before decorating. Yvette Ramirez started her cookie business after she moved to the area—simply to make friends and meet new people. Currently, she specializes in custom-decorated cookies but is slowly branching out to cakes and other treats. What’s more, she makes a conscious effort to shop small and support local as often as possible.
Peppermint Shortbread Cookies Recipe by Cookie Drop Co., 916-671-0061, cookiedropco.com, @cookiedropco 1 cup salted butter, softened ½ cup vegetable oil 1 ½ cups powdered sugar 2 tsp. peppermint extract 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour ¼ tsp. salt ½ cup crushed peppermint candy TOPPINGS
½ cup milk, dark, or white chocolate ½ cup crushed peppermint candy Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat butter and oil together, then add powdered sugar and peppermint extract. Mix until smooth, then add in the flour and salt. Mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Then add in the crushed peppermint candy and mix until incorporated evenly. Scoop into 2 tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on your cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers. Bake for 7-9 minutes until edges start to turn light golden brown. When cookies come out of the oven, use a wide mouth canning jar ring to carefully round the edges by moving in a circular motion around each cookie. Once the cookies are cooled, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until smooth, stirring each time. Drizzle melted chocolate over your cookies and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy. Cookie Drop Co.—a cottage bakery based in Folsom—was started by Elizabeth Rivers in 2020. Now, she and her husband, Scott, operate it together, releasing new and creative cookie flavors each week that are delivered right to customers’ doorsteps.

Snickerdoodles 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 ½ cups sugar 2 large eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 2 ¾ cup flour 1 ½ tsp. cream of tartar 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt CINNAMON-SUGAR MIXTURE
1/4 cup sugar 1 ½-2 tbsp. cinnamon Preheat oven to 350F. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, then add sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla; mix until combined. Add dry ingredients until combined, being careful not to overmix. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. Refrigerate dough for 15-20 minutes or 10 minutes in freezer till firm. Roll into small balls, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated well. Put rolled balls back in fridge or freezer. Depending how firm dough is (firmer dough will result in taller cookies), bake for 9-11 minutes (for firmer dough, cook for about 14 minutes). Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before removing from the pan and cooling on wire rack.
Comfort Cookies Recipe by California Flour, 530-497-0772, californiaflour.com, @californiaflour 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 egg + 1 yolk 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a cookie sheet with butter, not parchment. Cream butter and sugars together for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and mix until no flour shows. Once combined, mix in the entire bag of chocolate chips. Using a 3-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop 6 cookies onto your prepared cookie sheet (or roll into balls a little bit bigger than a golf ball). Bake 14 minutes; halfway through, rotate pans front to back, top to bottom, and tap on oven rack to flatten cookies. When cookies are golden brown, tap the cookie sheet again on the oven rack and then let cool on a wire rack.
