’ll never look at the number “2020” the same again. What once wa s the na me of my favorite Friday night show (“This is 20/20…”) will forever be associated with the year face masks became a must-have accessory, parties were avoided like the plague, and weekends became wide open. Certainly, I’m not alone in these sentiments either. The events of 2020 were trying and unlike anything any of us—even my 100-yearold grandma—have ever experienced. On the bright side, it’s the hard times, hard years, that force us to press pause and often where the greatest lessons are learned. When all is said and done, we will (hopefully) emerge from this experience stronger and more compassionate—with a few new hobbies and better hygiene! No doubt the year ahead is going to present its own set of challenges, but it’s a new year nonetheless, and a prime time to hit the reset button. And what better way to do so than in true New Year’s fashion by setting some health-related resolutions? Turn to page 28 for 15 ways to make 2021 your healthiest year yet. From “knowing your numbers” by getting bloodwork done, to taking a daily probiotic, and practicing mindfulness meditation, the underlying theme of each suggestion is the same: Self-care is health care. Speaking of healthy habits, in this issue’s Editor’s Picks (page 42) we share 16 feel-better finds to prevent you from getting sick or help you heal. All the products are sold at small businesses too, so with every purchase you’ll also help our community recover. Other im mun it y-boosting editoria l? Must-tr y mocktails (“Sober but Spirited”; page 72) healthy midday meals that’ll put a pep, and some protein, in your workfrom-home step (“Lunch Break ”; page 70) and a closeto-home hike the whole family will love (page 32). We also profile five elite athletes (“Peak Performers”; page 16) whose stories are so inspiring that you just might find yourself jonesing to go for a jog. Finally, in our feature story, “Winter Wonderland” (page 54), we share places to go and things to see and savor this season, from “souper” soups to the (literal) hottest patios in town—ensuring a warm, wonderful winter for all. As we journey into these next 365 days, uncertain of what lies ahead, let’s take this newfound resilience and resourcefulness and make 2021 our most positive and productive year yet. Cheers!

“When something bad happens, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it strengthen you.”—Dr. Seuss

If you could be an Olympic athlete, what sport would you compete in? “Definitely rock climbing! This year was supposed to be its Olympic debut.” —Ryan Martinez

“Is there an Olympic sport for killing flies? I rarely miss! In all seriousness though, it would be figure skating. I love dancing, so it's almost the same—great music, awesome moves—just more dangerous…and cold.” —Debra Linn

“It's new to the lineup, but rock climbing is (finally) an official event! I would love to throw myself at some Olympic-level rocks.”—Ray Burgess

In this month’s “The Road Beat” column, auto aficionado and local resident Mitchell Weitzman takes the 2021 Genesis G90 5.0 Ultimate for a spin and shares his honest review. “From the oversized pentagonal grille, to the sharp yet somehow cosseting creases, and the saucer-like wheels ready to serve you crackers and brie, it has a demeanor that exhilarates the senses like no other sedan under a hundred grand” is just a sneak peak of what he has to say about it.

PEAK PERFORMERS Need some inspiration for those lofty fitness goals you’ve set for 2021? These five all-star athletes will inspire you with their stories of determination, hard work, and success.

Husband-and-wife-team Seth and Lauren Totten are bonded over their mutual love of running. Lauren first discovered her passion for it while playing soccer and ended up starting her high school’s first cross-country program—which still exists today. Her first “magical” marathon experience was in 2014 at Grandma’s Marathon, where she ran a 2:35. However, her most special of accomplishments was running a half marathon mid-pack at six months pregnant. “I surprised myself and ran a 1:44; my personal record is 1:12,” she says proudly. Seth started running in order to become a better baseball player but realized the sport he actually needed to pursue was running. He ran collegiately, eventually finding the sport

of triathlon, and turned to marathons after marrying Lauren. “I love running because of the grind; to show up, work hard, and run fast…it’s part of my core,” he says. His best was running 2:14 and taking fourth place at the Dublin Marathon. “[It] really ignited a fire in me to continue pursuing the sport at the highest level,” he says, adding, “I still believe I have a much faster marathon in me.” With races being cancelled due to the pandemic both Lauren and Seth’s days are now looking different—especially with infant son Lachlan added to the mix. They’re both keen on showing him the joys of running and the great outdoors. “I’m able to help my son explore [and] that fills me to the brim,” beams Lauren.

FAVORITES

Seth and Lauren Totten, Professional Marathoners, Folsom

Workout snack: (Lauren) Pre-workout: buttered toast or toast with nut butter and lots of coffee; post-workout: a smoothie. (Seth) Same, although I also have a bowl of oatmeal or muesli along with my smoothie. Gear/gadget: We both run for Rabbit (a running apparel company) and can’t say enough about their comfy clothes! We also enjoy COROS watches and AfterShokz headphones. Athlete/role model: (Lauren) I’m impressed and motivated by other moms who are getting out and running fast, like Sara Vaughn and Keira D’amato. I’m also a huge Courtney Dauwalter fan. Quote/mantra: (Lauren) Job 37:6: He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’

Aspen Kohl Ladd, MMA Fighter, Pollock Pines Twenty-five-year-old Aspen Kohl Ladd says she used to be “a shy kid who needed something to do.” So, when she was 14, her father took her and her brother to an MMA gym. “I realized in the first week of training that this was what I wanted to do when I turned 18,” she recalls. Fast forward to today, and the accomplished MMA fighter for the UFC currently ranks third in the world for her weight class. “I love the competitive nature of the sport and the freedom fighting has given me,” she says. A lot of her time is spent in grueling training sessions—6-8 hours a day, five days a week. And when Ladd actually competes around three times a year, there’s an added 8-12-week “fight camp” to ramp up training. She’s now focused on building the business aspect of her career—during some downtime she gained due to a recent injury—with a website launch (aspenladd.com), seven-part docuseries, hiking vlog, and spokesperson gigs with companies like AllTrails and ESP Fitness. Despite the new opportunities, Ladd is eager to get back to fighting once she heals and hopes to have the title of “world champion” one day. In the meantime, she wants to “enjoy and embrace whatever this crazy ride brings.” Workout snack: I drink 1-2 gallons of water with 4-5 scoops of Optimum Nutrition’s BCAA and eat 4-6 times a day. Gear/gadget: Onx gloves for anything fighting-related and the AllTrails app. Athlete/role model: I admire success in general [along with] work ethic, commitment, integrity, and humility. Quote/mantra: Just show up and give 100% of what you have. Each day you keep showing up you will find that your 100% looks different than it did the day before.

Amitis Pourarian, Taekwondo Master and Former USA Taekwondo Team Member, Granite Bay Amitis Pourarian remembers a family friend taking her to Folsom Taekwondo Center in the ’90s (it still exists today!) and introducing her to the art of taekwondo. “I loved that it was an individual sport and you could be as good as you wanted to be. No one had to pass you the ball to make the shot; it was up to you how good you could get,” she says of the intricate sport. The four-time national champion and former USA Taekwondo team member also happens to be a seventh-degree black belt and the highest-ranking female in the United World Taekwondo Association. Preparing for her eighth-degree testing in 2023, Pourarian’s ultimate goal is to be a ninth-degree black belt. A lot of hard work goes into her success, including 100 push-ups every day and consistent training, along with the cardio kickboxing and taekwondo classes she teaches at her studio in Roseville, THE STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness. And through her training, she’s seen it all—a torn hamstring and a broken wrist and nose—but says it’s all part of the game. “The only thing I would call a failure would be to not [compete]. When you compete—win or lose—it’s an experience, and we all learn from experiences,” she says.

FAVORITES

Shadrack Kiptoo Biwott had humble beginnings. “Growing up in rural Kenya I had to run [miles] to and from school each day,” he says. Then, at 14, he asked his older brothers for a pair of running shoes—something he’d never owned. “My brothers were professional runners and they agreed to share their shoes with me on the condition that I go for a run with them. Foolishly, I agreed and ended up 10 miles from home, exhausted…[but] I ran every day after that,” he says. Biwott usually runs two or more marathons per year plus a few half marathons and has come in third and fourth in the Boston Marathon, as well as fifth and seventh in the New York City Marathon. His ultimate goal is to win a major marathon, which is not an easy feat. “On more than one occasion I’ve trained diligently for my race only to find myself too injured to compete on race day,” he says of the highs and lows of competing. But in the end, it’s the exhilarating feeling running gives him that keeps him going. “The wind in my face and the ground passing beneath my feet…to me running represents a sense of freedom.”

Workout snack: A peanut butter and banana sandwich before any competition! Workout gear/gadget: Muscle floss bands. Athlete/role model: I strive to be my own role model. If I wouldn’t want to follow me than I need to change my ways. Quote/mantra: If it can be done, why not by you?

New Year, New You 15 Healthy Tips for 2021 BY MEGAN WISKUS

IF GETTING, OR STAYING, HEALTHY IS ON YOUR 2021 TO-DO LIST, WE HAVE 15 EASY WAYS TO HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Get personal. Hiring a personal 3 trainer at a small studio—so you can maintain social distancing and get in a great workout—is an easy, effective way to stay safe and get fit.—Amitis Pourarian, Owner, THE STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness, trainatthestudio.com

more whole-food, plant-based one. An abundance of research has shown numerous advantages to this type of eating, including [decreased risk of] heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, kidney disease, dementia, and digestive problems, while also promoting a longer, better quality of life, increased feelings of fullness, and a healthier environment.—Kirsten Ransbury, MS, RD, CDE, Lead Registered Dietitian, Kaiser Permanente Roseville, sacramento.kaiserpermanente.org/ our-facilities/roseville

Know your numbers. Getting 1 yearly lab work done is a great way to keep tabs on any lifestyle changes you’re thinking of making. Labs don't lie, and modern science allows you to monitor everything—from lipid particles, nutrient status, and hormone levels, to neurotransmitters, telomeres, and more. If you shop around, the labs don’t have to cost ridiculous amounts of money either. Once you have a baseline of objective data, use that information to create an individual plan for diet, exercise, stress management, and medication/supplementation. Another benefit? You can re-test later in the year to make sure your body is responding

according to your goals.—Michele Raithel, ND, Revolutions Naturopathics, revolutionsdocs.com

Hit the sack. Getting abundant, 2 restful sleep is one of the best ways to improve your physical health and emotional well-being. As you slumber, your body may seem inert when in fact it’s actively engaging in many processes to repair and renew itself—ultimately creating homeostasis (the tendency to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment).—Tammie Fairchild, Owner, Serenity Spa | Soul Yoga, serenityspaonline.com

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

Any movement matters. Don’t 5 discount the cardio benefit of house chores! Activities like mopping, vacuuming, making a bed, or washing your car all involve repetitive, purposeful movements, just like exercise, and provide comparable advantages. The most important thing to remember is to keep moving. A sedentary lifestyle is toxic to your health—sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were programmed and meant to move, and any movement is better than no movement at all.—Felicia K.

Take a Hike

Beeks Bight Nature Area: Jedi Trail by RYAN MARTINEZ

IF THE SHOE FITS: HOW TO CHOOSE HIKING BOOTS When choosing hiking boots, there are two important factors: type and materials.

TYPE Hiking Shoes • These are low-cut, lowweight shoes with good traction. Great for day hikes on established trails. Day Hiking Boots • Mid- to high-cut, these provide ankle support and are more flexible and easily broken in than backpacking boots. Backpacking Boots • These are always high-cut and meant for taking on heavier loads. Stiffer but longer lasting and great for off-trail adventures.

MATERIALS

Located In: Granite Bay. Distance: 5 miles, out and back. Difficulty Level: Easy. Know Before You Go: This is a local favorite for mountain bikers, so expect to share the trail. Parking in Folsom Lake SRA is $12. There are many different trails to choose from that can be added on for more mileage.

Fuel Up: Grab a delicious craft brew, New Glory Tots, or cleverly topped, IPA-infused pizza on the picture-perfect, pup-friendly patio at New Glory Eatery & Taproom (newglorybeer. com/taproom). Why We Love It: Close to home, lake access, accessible year-round, and boulders to climb… what’s not to love? This

trail is perfect for a quick half-day hike or full day hanging at the lake. Trail Notes: Like many trails in Folsom Lake SRA, there’s tons of poison oak. Make sure you know how to identify and avoid this troublesome herbage. As always, practice Leave No Trace ethics and go prepared with adequate clothing, footwear, and water.

BOGARD HEALTH - WELL AGING MED ANTI - AGING MEDICINE PRACTICE

508 Gibson Dr., Ste 290 // Roseville 916-781-4300 bogardhealth.com

r. Bogard has a long history in the health field. From an RN to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost 40 years in the operating room. She was exposed to critical care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on call hours and sleepless nights. As she entered her 50's she found her own health starting to decline and sought out a healthy aging physician. After experiencing the benefits she sought out the fellowship of regenerative and healthy aging through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow and expand her knowledge into this evolving field of medicine. Rather than prescribing medications and bandaging diseases she looks for the "root causes" and integrates each system in the body together. She also looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid and adrenal optimization, GI healing, testing for heavy metals and IV nutrition and chelation, advanced lipid testing, and advanced blood sugar testing.

Kids that play music get better grades in school. Q: WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST ACUPUNCTURE VISIT? A: First, the acupuncturist will sit down and have an initial consultation where they’ll discuss your immediate health concerns, look at your full health history, answer any questions, and provide a general understanding of how acupuncture and Chinese medicine may be beneficial. They’ll also provide an overall understanding of what to expect during the first session (length of time and what the needles are doing). Once prepped and ready to begin, they’ll look at your tongue and pulse, which is a typical part of a Chinese medical exam and may provide additional insight to one's overall health and the issue/s at hand. Next, approximately 10-15 needles will be inserted and retained for 30-40 minutes. During this time, the acupuncturist leaves the room, turns on calming music, and you’re encouraged to relax; some people even fall asleep. The entire process often lasts 60-75 minutes. —Bradley Cimino, LAC, DNBAO ProActive Acupuncture 151 North Sunrise Avenue, Suite 1308, Roseville, 916-755-4930; 2401 Capitol Avenue, Suite 100, Sacramento, 916-444-6407, proactiveacupuncture.org

Clean Slate

STEP 1: Focus on High-Traffic Areas While your attic might seem neglected, that specific area often goes unseen by guests. Since we’re just closing out the holiday season, it’s best to focus your cleaning energy on parts of the house that get the most activity: entryways, hallways, living areas, the dining room, kitchen, and maybe an outdoor patio. Once you map out these spaces, the hard part is over, and you can get down to dust-busting.

4 Easy Housekeeping Hacks The new year is (finally!) here, which means it’s a prime time to spruce up your space. Similar to spring cleaning, a quick run-through of your house helps keep it tidy and shiny for the next series of homebound happenings. So, get ready, get set, and let’s clean.

STEP 3: Deep Clean Here’s where the fun truly begins. Start in a space that’s likely the center of your daily activities: the kitchen. Since you’ve already decluttered, you can probably see which corners have been neglected since your last bout of cleaning. Grab your duster, vacuum, mop, and cleaning products and tackle the

STEP 4: Go Beyond the Basics After the above, the last thing you want to do is continue scrubbing. However, once you’ve tackled the majority of the clutter and dustbusting, you’re nearly done. This last step is simply a reminder to check spaces and corners that we don’t often pay attention to or assume never get dirty, such as: • Light fixtures. Ceiling-mounted lighting and table lamps acquire dust over time and may go unnoticed when they’re not in use. A quick wipe down should do the trick. • Grout. This is especially important if you have any light-colored grout; scrubbing with your favorite kitchen cleaner will have it sparkling clean in no time. • Hidden bathroom spaces. Chances are your future guests will need to use the restroom once or twice during their visit. With this in mind, clean like you have a particularly nosey guest—checking inside drawers, dusting windowsills, and scrubbing the tub. When’s the last time you’ve done a deep clean? What are some of your favorite ways to cut dust and grime and prepare for the new year?

Do this for each room in your house. Pro tip: Teamwork makes the dream work. Recruit other members of the household to help speed up the process.

Cold weather and hot soup are the perfect winter pairing. Lucky for us, our region is overflowing with bowls from every corner of the globe that’ll please all palates. Fukumi in Japanese means “feel” “mood” and the tonkotsu ramen from Fukumi Ramen definitely qualifies as feel-good food. Their broth is boiled for 72 hours to achieve a fantastic umami and makes their Kara-Miso Ramen especially good, with thick noodles in an original miso spice blend topped with pork belly, a perfectly seasoned egg, green onions, corn, and sprouts. 10271 Fairway Drive, Suite 120, Roseville, 916-474-5748, fukumiramen.com

Did you know? Tonkotsu ramen originated in Fukuoka on the Kyushu island of Japan. Its broth consists mainly of pork bones boiled for several hours resulting in a creamy, rich flavor.

As the name suggests, Tom Yum Koong from Thai Paradise is all kinds of “yum”my. Prawns, white mushrooms, and fragrant Thai herbs like lemongrass swim in this hot and sour soup. Since the soup is broth-based and not coconut milk-based, it’s fewer in Tom Yum Koong at Thai Paradise

The word “tom” refers to the boiling process and “yam” means “mixed” in Thai. The base of this soup is traditionally made by grilling chilies, shallots, and garlic on a charcoal fire.

The aptly named Pho Mimi Special at Pho Mimi is a pho-vorite of ours. Chockful of high-quality flank, fat brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatballs, along with tender rice noodles in a clear yet flavorful broth, you’ll want to order the extra-large serving of this one! 25004 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 121, Folsom, 916-542-7913, phomimi.com

Did you know? Pho (pronounced “fuh”) is a relatively new food—having existed only within the last century or so. It was originally sold at dawn and dusk by vendors in Vietnam, who shouldered mobile kitchens on carrying poles from which hung two wooden cabinets: one housing a cauldron over a wood fire; the other storing noodles, spices, cookware, and space to prepare a bowl of pho.

Perfect for winter, this comfort food is hearty, earthy, and pleasing to the palate. 7160 Douglas Boulevard, Granite Bay, 916-780-0888, vaianotrattoria.com

Did you know? Tuscan cuisine has peasant origins and is quite simple, often relying on legumes, bread, cheese, vegetables, and fresh fruit for a meal.

Try the Rasam at Sanskrit in Folsom if you’re looking for bright, bold flavors. This peppery South Indian soup, rightly

Rasam at Sanskrit

called “fire broth,” is a piquant blend of tomato, tamarind, black pepper, and cilantro. The sour and spicy vegetable stock can be eaten with piping hot white rice on its own or following a meal. 2776 East Bidwell Street, Suite 300,

Folsom, 916-817-4356, sanskritindian.com Did you know? Rasam is often used as a remedy for colds and the flu and is a good pick for weight loss. It’s also rich in minerals and aids in digestion, which is why it’s normally had at the end of a meal.

You know what lobster bisque is, but have you tasted the Sherry-Infused Lobster Bisque at Placerville’s Heyday Café? It’s the best in town, bar none. Rich, creamy, and flavorful, it’s an “I-couldlick-the-bowl-it’s-that-good” kinda soup. Dunk some of their garlic bread in it and you’ll be oohing and aahing all week long. 325 Main Street, Placerville, 530-6269700, heydaycafe.com

Did you know? This French-origin soup is based on a strained broth of crustaceans like lobster, crab, or shrimp and its name is thought to have been derived from the Bay of Biscay along the western coast of France.

French Onion Soup at La Provence

chili-spiced, and pork-laden delight on weekends, Mexico Lindo’s is served daily…guaranteeing you can get your fill seven days a week. 3375 Bass Lake Road, Suite 100, 916-941-5941, El Dorado Hills, mexicolindoedh.com

Did you know? Pozole means soup or stew. Hominy—a prime ingredient in pozole—is an ancient ingredient that’s been used to make beverages, grits, soup, dough, and sweet porridge.

La Provence in Roseville makes the most perfect French Onion Soup. Loaded with onions (just how we like it) this fragrant soup is obviously made with care and lots of love. A little sweet, a little salty, and a lot scrumptious, you’ll be slurping down this cheesy goodness in no time. 110 Diamond Creek Place, Suite 150, Roseville, 916-789-2002, laprovenceroseville.com Did you know? Ancient in origin, this soup saw a revival in the ’60s due to a great interest in French cuisine in America— something we suspect Julia Child contributed to.

The most authentic pairing to a Greek salad would likely be a Greek soup, wouldn’t you think? Well, Petra Greek in Folsom makes a divine one that’s Wor Won Ton Soup at Fat's Asia Bistro

Avgolemono Soup at Petra Greek

straight from the (Greek) Gods. Their silky Avgolemono Soup is made from an egg-lemon base along with rice and chicken. It checks all the comfort food boxes for us. 230 Palladio Parkway, Suite 1213, Folsom, 916-693-6397, petragreek.com

Did you know? Although known as part of Greek cuisine, avgolemono, or egg-lemon sauce, is originally from Sephardic Jewish cuisine and is found in Italian, Arabic, Turkish, and Balkan cuisines as well.

Banana cream pie is what you have at Fat’s Asia Bistro when it’s celebration time, and the Wor Won Ton Soup is what you have when it’s hunker-downfor-the-winter time. Delicate shrimp and pork wontons are accompanied by chicken, shrimp, barbecued pork, and tons of veggies in a savory broth—what more could you possibly want? 1500

Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-787-3287; 2585 Iron Point Road, Folsom, 916-9831133, fatsasiabistro.com

Did you know? "Wor" is the Chinese word for everything, so "wor" won ton soup has a little bit of anything and everything in it. Finish it off with a drizzle of sesame oil or hot chili oil, and you have the recipe for soup success!

WINTER SPORT SAFETY DURING COVID - 19 COURTESY OF THE CITY OF COLFAX

While each resort in the Tahoe and Reno area are handling their operations a bit differently, keep these general changes in mind.

Northstar California Resort Tahoe Adventure Company

Online Reservations Most resorts are not selling same-day on-site ski passes. Be sure to purchase your pass in advance.

Limited Numbers on the Slopes Ski and snow play areas are reducing numbers and spreading people out to allow for social distancing. Translate: demand may exceed space available.

Outdoor and Tailgate Dining To avoid crowded lodges, many ski destinations are offering takeout options for outdoor and tailgate dining.

Household Members Only on Chair Lifts Depending on where you ski or board, be prepared for household members only on chair lifts.

Private or Limited Group Lessons

Contactless Lift Entry RFID gates are being used more frequently at chair lifts, which allows for contactless lift ticket entry.

Plan Ahead, Stay Over, Arrive Early Now more than ever, getting to the snow early has great importance. If you’re planning a Tahoe-Reno ski holiday this winter or early spring, plan ahead and consider adding a conservative and COVID-sensitive stop on the way in less-touristy locales like Colfax, Placerville, or Hope Valley.

'm spitballing here, but this is how I imagine the thought process went for the brain trust behind Historic Folsom's J. Wild's Livery & Feed. “We could convert one of our successful pizza restaurants (Chicago Fire) into a BBQ house and provide diners some historical context for its location.” Pretty sound reasoning from over here in my saddle. Ownership has transformed the Sutter Street space into a top-notch smokehouse with some fresh décor, too, including murals and pictures of turn-ofthe-century Folsom. I hitched my iron horse up to where the original livery (aka stable) once stood and

Thai Express // If you’re looking for a quick Thai fix in the Galleria area—try Thai Express! After my inaugural visit a few months back, I’ve been dining in (actually, outside) and picking up takeout ever since. And it’s not just the food—owner Thuy Tran is so effervescent and friendly you’ll feel like you’ve made a new friend within seconds of her greeting. I ordered online last time (Thuy “scolded” me for not calling and saving money), as we were once again on the cusp of indoor dining restrictions, and I decided not to chance it. My green curry with chicken was ready in minutes; the kitchen is fast, frenetic, fresh, and because it’s entirely family-run—very friendly. They consistently ask, “How is your food?” and always with a smile. The curry was mild, as per my request (I probably would go at least medium next time), and the vegetables had snap, indicating they were freshly cut and cooked. I also ordered shrimp spring rolls: maybe the easiest way to eat a healthy salad on the run. The rice paper wrap was bursting at the seams with lettuce, carrots, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, shrimp, and house-made peanut sauce. Call Thuy, order online (her scolding is the friendliest ever), or dine on the premises when possible for a fast, fresh Thai fix. 1132 Galleria Boulevard, Suite 120, Roseville, 916-772-8002, thaiexpressfood.com —Lorn Randall

*Cook chicken. In a pot large enough for the chicken to be covered with water and fully submerged by 2 inches, cover the bottom with oil and bring to medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onions; season with salt and pepper, stir, and cook until onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add the whole chicken and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Turn heat to high and reduce to a simmer once it starts boiling. Cook for 1 1/2-2 hours or until internal temperature is 165°. Remove chicken from the liquid and set on a cooling rack to rest. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat. Strain the liquid and return to the pot, reduce by half. Store chicken stock in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge and use it to make sauces, or to moisten the meat if it gets too dry. To assemble, spread beans on a tostada, followed by chicken, avocado, cheese, and salsa. Repeat with the remaining tostada shells and eat promptly. *Chicken can be made ahead of time.
