El Dorado County_Foothills_Style Magazine - November 2018
Food is more than just fuel. It’s a social centerpiece and provides a foundation for some of our fondest, funniest, and most-talked about memories. And in this month’s issue, we have plenty of pieces focused around it, beginning with our feature, Top Chefs (page 29), where Luna Anona introduces you to 10 of our region’s culinary tastemakers—each with their own signature cooking style and skill set. Though the types of cuisine they dish out vastly vary, all of them share a passion for preparing mouthwatering plates. Learn all about them, including their food philosophies, favorite restaurants, top cooking tips, and how they rose to the top, then stop by their respective eateries to taste the fruits of their labor. Whatever your calendar looks like these next 30 days, I hope it’s filled with good friends, good food, and good times. Cheers!

16 Holiday Survival Tips<br />
by KOURTNEY JASON<br />
Not to sound like the Grinch, but everyone<br />
knows the holidays aren’t without a bit of<br />
stress. Thankfully, whether induced by<br />
family, finances, or falling off track with<br />
your health goals, there is a light at the end<br />
of the tunnel. Stay on track with these helpful tips from<br />
local experts on how to survive the holidays.<br />
MENTAL<br />
HEALTH<br />
Don’t Do It All<br />
1 “Simplify any area of your<br />
life that you can and let go of<br />
the idea that you have to be a<br />
superhuman. You don’t have<br />
to do it all and be everything<br />
to everyone.”—Donna Webb,<br />
Instructor, THE STUDIO Martial<br />
Arts & Fitness<br />
A Gift to Cheers<br />
2 “I usually buy mediumpriced<br />
bottles of wine by the<br />
case, decorate them festively<br />
and inexpensively, and gift<br />
them to friends and neighbors<br />
along with a handwritten note<br />
telling them why they’re so<br />
special to me.”—Renae Linder,<br />
MSW, LCSW, Vice President and<br />
Owner, Linder Psychiatric Group<br />
Top Traditions<br />
3 “Make a 'must-do' list of the<br />
activities, events, and traditions<br />
that mean the most to you and<br />
your family and ensure everyone<br />
gets something they enjoy on<br />
the calendar. Then schedule<br />
those events now while you<br />
have control of your calendar.<br />
As other activities and events<br />
pop up, only participate if your<br />
personal and family schedule<br />
allows.”—Ann Vezey, Corporate<br />
Group Exercise Director, Spare<br />
Time Clubs<br />
Moments of Self-Care<br />
4 “Self-care is important<br />
at any time, but even more so<br />
during the holidays, so go to the<br />
gym, read a book, or take a bath.<br />
The possibilities are endless!”—<br />
Kayle Torres, MA, LMFT<br />
Love Your People<br />
5 “Take a moment to remind<br />
yourself that the most important<br />
part of the holidays is the coming<br />
together with the people who<br />
matter the most to you and how<br />
lucky we are to have that gift.”—<br />
Donna Webb, Instructor, THE<br />
STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness<br />
SPIRITUAL<br />
Press Pause<br />
6 “Take some time for<br />
mindfulness. Sit down<br />
occasionally, close your eyes,<br />
do some deep breathing, and<br />
let your mind drift without<br />
demanding any direction or<br />
response. Everything can be go,<br />
go, go, so stepping back once in<br />
awhile can be very helpful.”—<br />
Cary Nosler, Host, “Forever<br />
Young” on SiriusXM Radio<br />
The True Meaning<br />
7 “Lean in to the deeper<br />
part of what the holiday<br />
means, usually it’s based on<br />
something that means peace,<br />
joy, or blessing—which we all<br />
need more of.”—Lance Hahn,<br />
Senior Pastor, Bridgeway<br />
Christian Church<br />
