Style Magazine November 2019
‘Tis the season to reflect on what we’re thankful for. And though it’s easy to take our blessings for granted, November’s a prime time to recall the people, places, and things that bring us joy. Plus, studies show that giving thanks makes a person happier and healthier. Are you looking for ways to grow gratitude? This month’s issue is full of ideas—starting with The 10 Spot on page 20, featuring easy things everyone can do to give back—from picking up trash and assisting area food banks, to paying for the person’s coffee behind you. After all, helping others helps you and is a surefire way to cultivate contentment. Practicing mindfulness—by being aware and appreciative of the present moment—is another quick ticket to bliss. Do just that by venturing out of doors and soaking in some fresh fall air. In Take a Hike (page 22) we have the perfect trail to elevate your endorphins and mood. Up the fun factor by inviting a coworker, long-lost pal, or your pup along, too, and stopping for a pre- or post-hike pint (our region’s bevy of craft breweries is yet another reason to smile this season). Indulging in a memorable meal may quite possibly be the most obvious ingredient to happiness. In the pages that follow, we have a bounty of ways to satisfy your belly and soul, from five “souper” soups in town (page 87) to myriad recipes for one-pot dinners (page 88) and autumn-inspired sides (page 45) that are best shared amongst family and friends. As you savor the comfort food, comfortable clothes, and company of loved ones this month, remember to press pause and recognize all the positivity that surrounds us all each and every day. Cheers!

| editor’s letter |<br />
One baby, two paranoid visits to the pediatrician, and zero restful nights<br />
later, and I’m back!<br />
On June 22 at 3:59 a.m., I became a mom and, as cliché as it sounds,<br />
am forever changed. It’s as emotional, exhausting, and exhilarating<br />
as everyone warned me, but even more incredible than I imagined.<br />
Despite the diaper<br />
blowouts, middle-of-the-night wake-up<br />
calls, and inconsolable crying fits where I<br />
sometimes end up crying too, my heart’s<br />
never been happier. I’ve also never been<br />
as grateful to have a hands-on, helpful<br />
husband; gracious grandparents; and<br />
competent coworkers who stepped up amid<br />
my absence. Yep, childrearing really does<br />
take a village…and a lot of coffee.<br />
Speaking of gratefulness, ‘tis the season<br />
to reflect on what we’re thankful for. And<br />
though it’s easy to take our blessings for<br />
granted, <strong>November</strong>’s a prime time to recall<br />
the people, places, and things that bring us<br />
joy. Plus, studies show that giving thanks<br />
makes a person happier and healthier.<br />

gratitude? This month’s issue is full of ideas—starting with<br />

the present moment—is another quick ticket to bliss. Do just<br />

to count your<br />
blessings while<br />
others are<br />

WHAT’S YOUR<br />
FAVORITE<br />
THANKSGIVING<br />
FOOD?<br />
“With turkey being a super close<br />
second, I can’t resist piling my plate<br />
with stuffing and then going back<br />
for more. Between the texture of<br />
the breadcrumbs, and the savory,<br />
salty combo of those festive herbs<br />
and spices, my addiction is real.”<br />
—Gary Zsigo<br />
“Stuffing! Vegan, of course.”<br />
—Taylor Gillespie<br />
“Sweet potato pie with whipped<br />
cream on top.”—Sidney Dorris<br />
“My mom's homemade potato rolls.<br />
They incorporate mashed potatoes<br />
into the dough, which create a<br />
taste unlike any other! Top that<br />
with butter and ohmigod(!)—hello,<br />
happy belly.”—Tara Harbert<br />
“Mashed potatoes and rolls; I’m all<br />
about the carbs.”—Julie Ryan<br />
“Pecan pie!”—Reg Holliday<br />
“Does a dinner roll filled with<br />
stuffing, cranberry sauce, and<br />
gravy count as one food? I love all<br />
the classics!”—Emily Peter<br />
“Making sweet potato pancakes<br />
with the leftover sweet potato<br />
casserole. They’re always a Black<br />
Friday favorite!”—Lorn Randall<br />

Firas Nassif, DMD<br />
Granite Bay resident Firas Nassif, DMD—<br />
who’s practiced dentistry since 2001 in<br />
Roseville—insists he isn’t into numbers,<br />
but he set this year’s fundraising record<br />
for the Greater Sacramento Chapter of<br />
the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s<br />
(LLS) Man & Woman of the Year<br />
campaign—earning him the title of <strong>2019</strong><br />
Man of the Year. Over the course of the<br />
10-week philanthropic competition, he<br />
and his teammates raised $200,000—<br />
money that will help LLS with their<br />
mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma,<br />
Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma; and<br />
improve the quality of life for patients<br />
and their families. “Eighty cents of every<br />
dollar donated goes to the actual cause,”<br />
Dr. Nassif says.<br />
A leukemia survivor himself, Dr. Nassif<br />
says maintaining a positive attitude<br />
daily and not getting mired in negativity<br />
helps yourself and those around you,<br />
too. “Through faith and learning that<br />
bad things are a test of our strength...[it]<br />
helps us to overcome [them],” he says.<br />
Married for 14 years, the Nassifs have<br />
three children. “Every day when I wake<br />
up, I count my blessing(s) and strive for<br />
my daily purpose. It’s my family that tops<br />
that list.” —Domino Soleil<br />

Give Where You Live<br />
By Megan Wiskus<br />
In the spirit of the impending holiday season, we compiled a list<br />
of 10 easy ways to give back. From volunteering for a cause you<br />
care about, to random acts of kindness, there’s a need you can<br />
certainly feed. Ready, set, serve!<br />
Beautify your backyard by heading to<br />
a local park or nearby trail and filling a<br />
plastic bag with litter.<br />
Visit a senior center and play games,<br />
read books, or simply converse with<br />
lonely residents.<br />
Play with puppies. Animal<br />
shelters are always in need<br />
of assistance—from dog<br />
walking and kennel<br />
cleanup to caring<br />
for kitties.<br />
Assist area food banks in myriad<br />
ways—whether it’s sorting, packaging,<br />
and distributing food; or donating<br />
hygiene kits, canned goods, and other<br />
items to the organization.<br />
Be a good neighbor by baking and<br />
delivering cookies to someone’s<br />
doorstep, rolling in their recycling, or<br />
sharing excess produce from your<br />
garden.<br />
Be book smart. Libraries are a prime<br />
place to lend a helping hand. Tasks<br />
like tutoring kids and shelving books<br />
are typically in demand.<br />
Help the homeless. Drop off a bagged<br />
lunch, leftovers, warm blankets, or a<br />
pair of socks to someone in need.<br />
Pay it backwards. Next time you’re<br />
in line for your morning cup of coffee,<br />
pay for the patron’s order behind you.<br />
Give blood. According to givingblood.<br />
org, blood is needed every two<br />
seconds. Find a blood bank near you<br />
at aabb.org/tm/donation/pages/<br />
blood-bank-locator.aspx.<br />
Lights, camera, action! Have<br />
a passion for performing arts?<br />
Check with your local theater for<br />
current needs, which might include<br />
ushering, marketing, set design, or<br />
administrative duties.<br />

ask the experts<br />
Q: ARE WINDOW TREATMENTS<br />
NECESSARY IN NEWER HOMES?<br />
A: As technologies change,<br />
modern building materials have<br />
become more energy efficient<br />
and many windows have extra<br />
protection for energy savings<br />
and UV protection, but they’re<br />
rarely a substitute for window<br />
coverings. The protection you<br />
receive from window treatments<br />
can be experienced year-round.<br />
In winter, when your home loses<br />
heat through exposed glass,<br />
interior window shades act as a<br />
buffer to keep the heat in and the<br />
cold out; come summer, the heat<br />
and harmful ultraviolet (fading<br />
rays) can be blocked with quality<br />
window treatments. What’s more,<br />
they add to your home’s value and<br />
interior beauty, too.<br />

Do you have a favorite trail in the<br />
region you’d like to see featured? Tell us<br />
all about it at info@stylemg.com.<br />
LOCATED IN: Folsom; search “Pioneer Express Trail” in<br />
Google Maps.<br />
DISTANCE: Fourteen miles point to point; minimal<br />
elevation gain.<br />
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate.<br />
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Dog-friendly (must be<br />
leashed); no biking allowed; parking is $12.<br />
FUEL UP: Dominick’s Italian Market & Deli (8621<br />
Folsom-Auburn Road, Granite Bay) offers sandwiches,<br />
soups, salads, pizzas, and more in relaxed environs.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT: Follows Folsom Lake; provides lake<br />
and forest views; option to hike as much or little as you<br />
like; fairly flat; well-maintained; can be accessed at<br />
multiple points between Folsom and Auburn.<br />
Trail Notes: Wear shoes with traction, dress in layers, bring<br />
extra water and snacks, remember sun protection (hat,<br />
sunscreen), and, as always, pack out what you pack in.<br />
Remember to keep to the right, and that horses have the<br />
right of way over hikers.<br />

CALIFORNIA/PIONEER-EXPRESS-TRAIL.<br />
Q: WHAT TYPE OF KITCHEN<br />
LAYOUT IS THE MOST<br />
FUNCTIONAL?<br />
A: It’s really about how you use<br />
your kitchen. Most pro chefs<br />
I know love a galley kitchen,<br />
because it eliminates the amount<br />
of steps needed to be efficient.<br />
With today’s kitchens being the<br />
“hub” of the house, however,<br />
they’ve become a gathering space,<br />
so an “L” shape with an island<br />
provides a similar efficiency and<br />
tend to be the most functional.<br />
They allow for a workflow around<br />
the island—especially if you have<br />
multiple cooks—and give more<br />
space for appliances, a sink, or<br />
extra counter space.<br />

Rise Against<br />
Hunger<br />
Feeding a Global Need<br />
by SUSAN WALLACE<br />
Jim Quinney has traveled to<br />
Haiti four times and can tell<br />
you firsthand where the food<br />
packaged by local volunteers<br />
goes. How does he know these details? He<br />
works for Rise Against Hunger as their<br />
community engagement manager—a<br />
stark contrast from his former career<br />
in the insurance industry—and loves it.<br />
He began as a volunteer about five years<br />
ago and recently celebrated his one-year<br />
anniversary as a member of the team.<br />
“Rise Against Hunger, an international<br />
relief organization, aims to show the world<br />
that it is, in fact, possible to end hunger<br />
by the year 2030” (<strong>2019</strong> Fact Sheet). They<br />
hope to accomplish this goal by enlisting<br />
myriad volunteers who essentially find a<br />
room; set up assembly lines; and spend<br />
time measuring, weighing, and packaging<br />
rice, soy-based products, dehydrated<br />
vegetables, and other protein sources for<br />
easy transport and cooking to countries<br />
in need. The packages are then saved in<br />
a warehouse; when 285,000 meals are<br />
ready, a shipping container leaves for its<br />
destination across the ocean.<br />
The nonprofit has served in 74<br />
different countries and currently works<br />
in 34 countries, in addition to locations<br />
experiencing sudden and ongoing<br />
crises, such as the Bahamas after being<br />
impacted by Hurricane Dorian. The<br />
packages—which are boxed to include<br />
36 bags—can feed one child 216 meals<br />
wich will sustain a child for a full school<br />
year. According to Quinney, this may be<br />
the only food the child has access to in<br />
countries such as Haiti.<br />
“I love sharing my experiences [and<br />
stories of success with the community,<br />
churches, and civic clubs] and transforming<br />
people [while changing their] perception<br />
and how they view ending hunger,” says<br />
Quinney, who shares that “8,000 or more<br />
children die every day from malnutrition.”<br />
This program can help decrease, if not end,<br />
that fact.<br />
In addition to the packaged meals, Rise<br />
Against Hunger also helps communities<br />
build small gardens to assist with<br />
improving access to healthy food. An<br />
example of success in Cambodia—where<br />
mushroom farms have been established—<br />
allows farmers to sell the produce and<br />

Another success in Vietnam includes<br />
opportunities for women to start<br />
businesses with “micro grants,”<br />
which gives them money to launch<br />
their chance for independence. “We<br />
empower communities by increasing<br />
self-sufficiency through the promotion<br />
of agriculture development, business<br />
skills training, and market access” (<strong>2019</strong><br />
Fact Sheet).<br />
Quinney shares his passion about this work. “It’s big, but it’s not unsolvable…if we<br />
collectively get there by not tolerating that level of suffering, saying no to hunger, and<br />
deciding for ourselves that we’re going to do something.” Rise Against Hunger strives<br />
to meet a three-year goal set in 2018 of increasing the number of meals sent, as well as<br />
assisting in breaking the cycle of poverty, and they’re well on their way.<br />

El Dorado Hills’-based rock band Sparrow consists of high<br />
school students Brandon Bagley on rhythm guitar and<br />
vocals, Sam Kallan on lead guitar, Chad Vogan on bass,<br />
Owen Schumacher on piano, and Gavin Verandez on drums. Playing<br />
together now for a little over a year, the group has rocked local<br />
venues such as El Dorado Saloon & Grill, The Boardwalk, Holy Diver,<br />
and The Silver Orange. Influenced by classics such as Guns N’ Roses,<br />
Green Day, 311, Weezer, and Nirvana, Sparrow is wary of pigeonholing<br />
themselves into just one genre. “We want people to hear something<br />
passionate...something they’ve never heard before that reminds them<br />
of the artists and bands they love and remember.”<br />

HLN: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR<br />
SOUND?<br />
SPARROW: Each of us come from different<br />
backgrounds: everything from punk and pop, to<br />
metal, reggae, and [more]. We kind of mix [all these<br />
sounds] together to come up with something new.<br />
What makes us stand out is the fact that we really<br />
don’t pick a genre or style—we play whatever we’re<br />
passionate about. When we write our songs together,<br />
we start with a riff, a melody, or even a concept; from<br />
there, they start to expand and take shape on their<br />
own.<br />
HLN: AS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, HOW<br />
DO YOU FIND THE TIME TO CREATE MUSIC<br />
AND REHEARSE TOGETHER?<br />
SPARROW: When asked this, we often joke,<br />
“It just depends how much you care about your<br />
grades.” In all honesty, it’s definitely a busy lifestyle,<br />
but somehow we’ve managed to find a balance that<br />
works for us.<br />
HLN: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT<br />
YOUR COMMUNITY?<br />
SPARROW: What we really love about living in El<br />
Dorado Hills is that the community is super [close].<br />
All we need is a place to play, and the people [come<br />
to support] us.<br />
HLN: WHAT<br />
DO YOU LOVE<br />
MOST ABOUT<br />
PERFORMING?<br />
SPARROW:<br />
Live shows are<br />
our favorite part<br />
of being in a<br />
band; we all love<br />
to move when<br />
we play and like<br />
seeing that energy spill from the stage to the crowd.<br />
We want to share our music with as many people as<br />
possible and love making music that makes people<br />
want to get up and dance.<br />
HLN: WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE GOALS?<br />
SPARROW: It’s all of our dreams to turn music<br />
into a career one day; for now, we want to [continue<br />
making] passionate music.<br />
HLN: ANY ADVICE FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS<br />
STARTING OUT?<br />
SPARROW: Play with many [different] people<br />
and as often as possible; practice is the first step to<br />
everything.<br />

Brussels Sprouts with<br />
Bacon, Balsamic Reduction,<br />
and Goat Cheese<br />
Submitted by Executive Chef<br />
Paul Thompson, Sienna Roseville,<br />
1480 Eureka Road, Roseville,<br />
916-771-4700; 3909 Park<br />
Drive, El Dorado Hills, 916-<br />
941-9694, siennarestaurants.com<br />
• 5 cups vegetable oil<br />
• 4 cups Brussels sprouts, cut<br />
into quarters<br />
• 1 tbsp. butter<br />
• 4 tbsp. bacon, rendered and<br />
chopped<br />
• Salt and pepper, to taste<br />
• 1 tsp. balsamic reduction<br />
(can be store-bought)<br />
• 1 tbsp. goat cheese, crumbled<br />
Heat vegetable oil in a deep<br />
pot to 350 degrees. Blanch<br />
Brussels sprouts in boiling<br />
water for 4 minutes. Strain<br />
and shock in ice water. Once<br />
cooled, strain till dry and<br />
drop into the fryer. Cook 2-4<br />
minutes, until the Brussels<br />
sprouts start to turn dark<br />
golden brown.<br />
Heat a sauté pan on medium<br />
heat and add butter. Once the<br />
butter has melted, add in the<br />
Brussels sprouts, bacon, salt,<br />
and pepper. Toss ingredients<br />
together and plate with goat<br />
cheese and balsamic reduction.<br />
PRO TIP: To make your own<br />
balsamic reduction, bring 1<br />
cup of high-quality balsamic<br />
vinegar to a boil on mediumhigh<br />
heat. Reduce flame and<br />
let simmer for 5-7 minutes.<br />
Stir occasionally. Remove from<br />
heat, cool, and serve or store in<br />
the fridge.<br />

“SHOP-YOUR-YARD”<br />
THANKSGIVING DÉCOR<br />
When we moved into our home a few<br />
years ago, I was surprised to find so<br />
many different plants on our little patch<br />
of property—several varieties of roses,<br />
a flaming pink crepe myrtle, bright<br />
yellow daffodils, and others I can’t name.<br />
I’ve added my own plants to the mix,<br />
too—citrus trees, some sweet peas, and<br />
different annuals in the front window box.<br />
I soon started taking cuttings of some<br />
of the plants and sticking them in a big<br />
white pitcher on our table. This year, I’m<br />
taking that concept of “shopping our<br />
yard” and designing a simple but elegant<br />
tablescape for Thanksgiving using some<br />
of the plants in my yard (and a neighbor’s<br />
yard—she has a mandarin tree!).<br />
To ground my Thanksgiving table<br />
décor, I found some sparkly gold<br />
wrapping paper and used it as a table<br />
runner. On top of that is a river of<br />
redwood and mandarin branches—the<br />
more the better. Pinecones bring an<br />
element of fall without going overboard.<br />
In the center is my white pitcher.<br />
Within the branches, I have simple<br />
white candles and glass votives to bring<br />
some ambiance. For each place setting, I<br />
kept it simple: a gold charger with white<br />
plates and a mandarin with a pretty<br />
green paper leaf and the guest’s name<br />
(attached with a pushpin)—finished off<br />
with cut crystal plastic cups and cutlery.<br />
I also designed a “thankful” printable<br />
(downloadable at heyletsmakestuff.com)<br />
with the mandarin orange theme, which<br />
is a great way to have your guests reflect<br />
on the things that really matter.<br />
This Thanksgiving table is so easy to<br />
create that I can focus on what really<br />
makes Thanksgiving special: the food…I<br />
mean, family. OK, it’s a tie!<br />

1-inch pieces. Boil or steam until<br />
fully cooked, where a fork easily<br />
pierces through them. Drain, but<br />
don’t cool.<br />
Place into a food processor. Add<br />
cream and salt. Process for about<br />
15 seconds until potatoes are<br />
completely smooth. Add the<br />
butter and continue to process<br />
for another 15 seconds. Add the<br />
miso and mix for another few<br />
seconds until it’s incorporated.<br />
Serve immediately.<br />
PRO TIP: Japanese sweet potatoes<br />
are white on the inside rather<br />
than the orange or yellow centers<br />
of regular sweet potatoes and are<br />
available at Asian markets.<br />

La Provence Restaurant &<br />
Terrace, 110 Diamond Creek<br />
Place, Roseville, 916-789-<br />
2002, laprovenceroseville.com<br />
• 3 oz. organic baby spinach<br />
• 2 oz. Fuyu persimmons,<br />
peeled and sliced<br />
• 2 oz. pomegranate<br />
vinaigrette (recipe below)<br />
• 1/2 oz. candied walnuts<br />
(recipe below)<br />
• 1 tbsp. pomegranate seeds<br />
• 2 tbsp. ricotta cheese<br />
*Individual serving<br />
Pomegranate Vinaigrette<br />
• 3/4 cup pomegranate seeds<br />
or purée<br />
• 2 cups grapeseed oil<br />
• 1/4 cup honey<br />
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice<br />
• 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar<br />
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard<br />
• Pinch of sea salt<br />
Put all ingredients except<br />
oil in a Vitamix (or other<br />
high-powered blender) and<br />
blend on low speed, gradually<br />
increasing to high while<br />
slowly adding oil. Continue<br />
blending on high for 30-<br />
60 seconds or until your<br />
dressing is smooth and all the<br />
pomegranate seeds have been<br />
blended.<br />
Candied Walnuts<br />
• 4 oz. unsalted butter<br />
• 4 oz. honey<br />
• 1 lb. walnuts<br />
Melt butter and stir in honey<br />
over medium-low heat. Add<br />
walnuts, then reduce heat to<br />
low. Simmer for 3-5 minutes<br />
and let cool before assembling<br />
salad and adding to it.<br />
PRO TIP: This is the season<br />
for persimmons. Pick the<br />
Fuyu variety that can be<br />
eaten raw. Look for smooth,<br />
blemish-free skin with a bit<br />
of give. The green cap should<br />
still be attached and fresh in<br />
appearance.<br />

Apple Berry Crisp<br />
Submitted by Chefs Brian Bennett and Nicole Wright,<br />
Bennett’s Kitchen Bar Market, 1595 Eureka Road,<br />
Roseville, 916-750-5150, bennettskitchen.com<br />
• 10 cups Granny Smith apples (about 12 medium)<br />
• 2 cups blackberries or blueberries<br />
• 1 1/2 cups sugar<br />
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon<br />
• 1/2 cup lemon juice<br />
• 1/2 cup bourbon<br />
• 3 tbsp. cornstarch<br />
Crisp Topping<br />
• 3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
• 3/4 cup sugar<br />
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt<br />
• 1 tsp. fresh nutmeg<br />
• 1 1/2 tbsp. ground cinnamon<br />
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts<br />
• 1 cup oatmeal<br />
• 1 cup cold, unsalted butter, diced (keep cold)<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13x2-inch<br />
baking dish. Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1-inch<br />
chunks. Toss apples and berries in lemon juice and<br />
bourbon; combine sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch<br />
and mix in with the fruit. Pour into baking dish.<br />
To make the topping, combine sugars, flour, salt,<br />
nutmeg, cinnamon, nuts, oatmeal, and cold butter in<br />
the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle<br />
attachment. Mix on low speed until the mixture is<br />
crumbly and the butter is the size of peas. Scatter<br />
evenly over the apple berry mixture. Do not over mix.<br />
Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for 1<br />
hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly.<br />
Serve warm and top with ice cream or whipped cream.<br />
PRO TIP: Gluten-free preference: Replace all-purpose<br />
flour with Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free baking<br />
flour. Vegan preference: Replace butter with margarine.<br />
Teetotalers: Omit the bourbon.<br />

Stop the Itch:<br />
Allergies 101<br />
Does your dog keep you awake at night with<br />
constant scratching, licking, and chewing at<br />
their skin? Just like humans, dogs can develop<br />
allergies when their immune systems acquire<br />
sensitivities to environmental allergens, such<br />
as plant pollens, mold spores, dust mites,<br />
cat dander, food ingredients, fleabites, and<br />
certain shampoos or perfumes. Allergens can<br />
be problematic when inhaled, ingested, or when<br />
they come into contact with your dog’s skin.<br />
How are allergies treated in dogs?<br />
Traditional first-line therapies often include<br />
medications, such as antibiotics and<br />
cortisone, which are necessary to treat an<br />
active inflammatory skin process but don’t<br />
offer prolonged relief and oftentimes have<br />
undesirable side effects—especially if used<br />
long-term.<br />
Improved therapies are now available for<br />
longer, safer, and more effective management,<br />
including Apoquel (oral tablet) and Cytopoint<br />
(injectable solution). These newer treatment<br />
options work to break the itching cycle by<br />
blocking receptors in the body that react to<br />
proteins called cytokines, or by binding up<br />
specific cytokines that trigger itching with<br />
a class of substances called monoclonal<br />
antibodies. Both medications are generally well<br />
tolerated, have minimal side effects, and almost<br />
no interactions with other medications.<br />
Utilizing these newer medications, in<br />
addition to approaching the management<br />
of allergic skin disease with<br />
diet therapy, Eastern<br />
medicine, topical<br />
treatments, and<br />
supplements<br />

Bone Appétit: The<br />
Great Grain Debate<br />
There has been significant discussion in the pet<br />
world over the question of grain-free pet food and<br />
its potential to influence a heart condition called<br />
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Historically, this<br />
condition was found predominantly in specific, largebreed<br />
dogs. From 2014-2017, there were seven reported<br />
cases of this malady.<br />
The issue is a contentious one, pitting several groups<br />
against each other. Most holistic veterinarians have<br />
dismissed the concern, while many traditional Western<br />
veterinarians have trumpeted it.<br />
In June, the FDA took the unusual step of publicizing<br />
some, but not all, of the brands of dog food that were<br />
mentioned in a small number of case reports. The<br />
bizarre announcement was troubling—given that in<br />
the same statement they were clear they hadn’t found<br />
actual causation between DCM and any specific brand<br />
or ingredients; they also recommended that people<br />
don’t switch pet foods.<br />
Pet food is a $91 billion global marketplace, which is<br />
now dominated by Mars Petcare and Nestlé Purina Petcare,<br />
whom account for 70% of domestic pet food sales. Needless<br />
to say, influencing purchasing decisions is a big dollar<br />
game. Mars has emerged as the top corporate owner of<br />
veterinary practices, including ownership of Banfield,<br />
BluePearl, Pet Partners, and—most recently—VCA, which<br />
they purchased for $9.1 billion in September 2017.<br />
The FDA’s move has increased percolating concerns<br />
among independent canine nutritionists who wonder<br />
whether pet food goliaths are using their overwhelming<br />
market positions to influence fear among dog owners.<br />
A conclusion to the investigation is expected to be<br />
released next month. Whether the results show a<br />
correlation between pet food diets, simply the effects<br />
of over-breeding, or some other reason, your local pet<br />
food businesses stand prepared to inform you with the<br />
most current information possible. In the meantime,<br />
you’ll find healthy, grain-in and grain-free options for<br />
your pet at various local pet stores.<br />

Holiday Hearth Safety Tips<br />
by KERRIE L. KELLY<br />
Tis the season for gathering<br />
with loved ones while<br />
taking stock of life’s<br />
blessings—and to eat lots<br />
of turkey. Once the feast is<br />
devoured and the guests<br />
have gone, our thoughts<br />
quickly turn to garland,<br />
Christmas trees, hanging<br />
lights, and decking the halls.<br />
If you’re lucky enough<br />
to have a fireplace, you<br />
understand it’s the ultimate<br />
focal point during holiday time. However, when decorating<br />
around it, it’s imperative to think safety first. Check out the<br />
following five tips to ensure a beautiful but safe holiday<br />
celebration.

Vegas, Baby!<br />
It’s a Girls’ Weekend<br />
BY SONJA RAYNE LEE<br />
Terrace View at The Cosmopolitan<br />
Every now and then, it’s necessary to get out of<br />
town. Don’t you agree? What better way to do it<br />
then with a trip to Sin City with your gal pals for<br />
some partying, relaxing, and reconnecting?<br />
For our girls’ weekend getaway, we hopped on a quick Southwest flight and<br />
jetted to The Cosmopolitan (cosmopolitanlasvegas.com), the ultimate luxury<br />
resort on the Las Vegas Strip.<br />
The moment we walked into the lobby, we knew we were going to be<br />
spoiled. The property exudes luxury and sophistication with a touch of<br />
sexiness (and dare we say a little naughtiness?), a place where you can lose<br />
yourself in a whole lot of fun.<br />
The main center point that caught our eyes—just past the lobby—was<br />
The Chandelier Lounge, which is split into three different levels, providing<br />
a captivating visual experience. The stunning beaded curtains of lights were<br />
alluring, too—making us feel as if we’d stepped into a scene of Lifestyles of<br />
the Rich and Famous. Surrounding the lounge were the magnificent sounds<br />
and flashing lights of the slot machines with all the classic casino table<br />
games. (“I have to admit that my favorite slot machine is Wheel of Fortune,<br />
and—while Lady Luck didn’t smile on me during this trip—there’s something<br />
exhilarating about playing a few rounds with Pat and Vanna!” said one of<br />
the girls.) Tucked away in the far corner was a Starbucks, which, of course,<br />
became the staple for our morning coffee; be prepared to wait in line<br />
though—it’s a pretty popular place!<br />

For this trip, we decided to splurge and<br />
chose the Terrace One Bedroom Fountain<br />
View in the Boulevard Tower, and boy was it<br />
worth it! Stepping off the elevator onto our<br />
floor, we were greeted with a seductive wall<br />
hanging of a woman wearing a black lace<br />
mask with bunny ears that instantly put us all<br />
in a feel-good mood. The dim lighting in the<br />
hallway set a tone of relaxation as we walked<br />
to our room. Entering the one-bedroom<br />
suite, I immediately felt a rush of excitement;<br />
this room was to die for: alluring artwork, a<br />
cozy couch, spacious dressing area, and a<br />
room with a king-sized bed adorned with<br />
sumptuous linens. The bathroom looked<br />
like it was straight out of Architectural<br />
Digest—complete with a private toilet room,<br />
vanity sinks, a huge shower, and a step-up<br />
Jacuzzi with a view of the strip. The pièce de<br />
résistance, however, was the huge balcony<br />
with sliding doors that overlooked the<br />
fountains of the Bellagio, Paris Las Vegas, and<br />
the strip.<br />

The Boulevard Pool<br />
Photo by Wendy Sipple.<br />
Day one meant poolside drinks, of course!<br />
The Cosmopolitan offers three different<br />
pools to choose from: The Boulevard, The<br />
Chelsea, and Marquee Dayclub. If you want<br />
the ultimate club experience, then the<br />
Marquee is your scene—complete with an<br />
extension of a nightclub in the evening. Both<br />
The Boulevard and Chelsea offer cabana and<br />
daybed reservations, which can be made<br />
ahead of time on The Cosmopolitan’s website.<br />
We opted for The Boulevard, considering it<br />
was conveniently located in the same tower<br />
as our room. Poolside dining included a<br />
variety of fresh and fried deliciousness and<br />
drinks aplenty, including frozen margaritas.<br />
Pro tip: Arrive early to get the best lounge<br />
chairs, as the pool fills up quickly. Poolside<br />
cabanas and daybeds are also available, but<br />
need to be reserved in advance and have food<br />
and drink minimums.<br />
After soaking up some rays and enjoying<br />
our good eats and drinks, we were ready<br />

to freshen up and hit the strip for some<br />
evening excitement. If you’re not certain<br />
what you want your evening plans to<br />
entail, then send Rose—The Cosmpolitan’s<br />
“Resident Mischief-Maker and Digital<br />
Concierge”—a text; she’ll provide you with<br />
restaurant recommendations and show<br />
suggestions.<br />
Las Vegas offers a plethora of activities,<br />
from concerts, dancing, and gambling, to<br />
zip lining on Fremont Street, or soaring<br />
550 feet above the center of the strip on<br />
Linq’s High Roller Observation Wheel<br />
(caesars.com/linq/high-roller). Our group<br />
opted for the latter: the world’s tallest<br />
Ferris wheel with 360-degree views of the<br />
Las Vegas Valley and The Strip. We chose<br />
the Happy Half Hour ticket (available from<br />
noon-1 a.m.), which meant an open bar in<br />
the sky. Pro tip: Going at night provides<br />
the best views of the city and gives you<br />
District Donuts<br />
more of a Happy Hour party vibe.<br />
Having stayed out into the wee hours<br />
of the morning, it was time to indulge<br />
in some pampering. I strongly suggest<br />
booking a penthouse suite for you and<br />
Knowing there would be a fair amount of<br />
adult beverages consumed during this<br />
trip, I put together survival bags for all the<br />
girls and recommend you do the same.<br />
GIRLS’ GETAWAY<br />
SURVIVAL BAGS<br />
• Shout Wipes<br />
• Purell Hand Sanitizing Wipes<br />
• Earplugs<br />
• Lip balm<br />
• Altoids<br />
• Emergen-C<br />
• Advil…and<br />
lots of it!<br />
your girls at The Cosmpolitan’s Sahra Spa,<br />
Salon & Hammam. Words can’t explain<br />
this beautiful desert-like oasis. Our host<br />
Kimesha provided us the ultimate royal<br />
treatment with the perfect amount of<br />
attention and privacy. With room for up<br />
to 10 guests for four hours, the penthouse<br />
suite provided our group with an indulgent<br />
retreat to hang out, relax, and<br />
gab. Kimesha greeted<br />
us with Champagne<br />
and refreshments, and<br />
when we were done oohing<br />
and aahing over the suite’s<br />
private living and treatment areas,<br />
were able to avail of two whirlpool tubs,<br />
a eucalyptus steam room, showers, and a<br />
vanity area. Several of the girls opted for<br />
individually hosted treatments, including<br />
massages, facials, and mani/pedis. We spent<br />
a good portion of our day in the private<br />
retreat unwinding and relaxing. On our<br />
next trip, we’ll definitely be booking a<br />
treatment at the hammam (a ritual space<br />
that contains a heated motherstone slab,<br />
two whirlpools, steam rooms, and stone<br />
loungers that can be used privately or<br />
with up to three people).<br />

The Cosmopolitan are abundant and<br />
impressive. From all-day breakfast spot<br />
Eggslut and comfort food favorite District:<br />
Donuts. Sliders. Brew., Block 16 Urban<br />
Food Hall, to Spanish tapas at Jaleo, and<br />
Zuma, a high-end Japanese restaurant<br />
with an izakaya-inspired menu, there’s<br />
something for everyone. We checked in<br />
with Rose, our trusty mischief-maker for<br />
advice, and decided on Wicked Spoon:<br />
a multicultural, high-end buffet. The<br />
array of dishes from around the world<br />
was a feast for the senses, complete with<br />
amazing visual displays, invigorating<br />
smells, sizzling sounds, and satisfying<br />
tastes. Pro tip: Make reservations in<br />
advance for groups of eight or more and<br />
opt for the Bottomless Beverages package.<br />
No trip to Vegas is complete without a<br />
show, and we opted for Voss Events’ Drag<br />
Brunch at Señor Frogs (dragbrunch.<br />
com), featuring Vegas' finest female<br />
impersonators. Admittedly, this show isn’t<br />
for prudes, nor are you going for the food<br />
really, but it’s pure entertainment. These<br />
fabulous divas know how to put on a show<br />
and work the room. It lives up to all the<br />
hype and is a guaranteed good time. I even<br />
got on stage with a bunch of other ladies<br />
in a dance contest to show what we nonprofessionals<br />
had going for us. Be prepared<br />
to be picked on (if you’re lucky) and to be<br />
impressed by the divas’ talents. Pro tip: Opt<br />
for the VIP package for premium, reserved<br />
seating, a full open bar, and to meet the<br />
performers after the show. Oh, and bring<br />
lots of singles (the performers dance<br />
throughout the room, and you can’t help<br />
but want to reward them!).<br />
With easy flight access from<br />
Sacramento, Las Vegas is the perfect<br />
choice for a girls’ getaway. And, thank<br />
goodness what happens in Vegas stays in<br />
Vegas. Pro tip: Make your girl tribe do a<br />
pinkie swear to reiterate, just in case!<br />

Chillibajji<br />
Spicy Dosa<br />
Ineed new friends—or at least friends with a<br />
broader palate who have the ability to drop<br />
whatever they’re doing and join me for lunch<br />
at previously unknown (to me), untested<br />
restaurants. And they should have a robust knowledge<br />
of Indian food too, because it’s frustrating trying to get<br />
someone to join me for a steamy bowl of aloo gobi or<br />
korma. Piqued your interest?<br />
One of those formerly foreign destinations on<br />
my radar was Curry Bowl in Folsom. As I entered, I<br />
was shown the buffet table—which looked fresh and<br />
ample—but opted to order from their menu instead. I<br />
followed my instinct as I selected chillibajji (basically<br />
a battered and fried chili pepper). As to the type of<br />
pepper, research tells me it’s a mirchi—two to three<br />
inches long and somewhat similar to a Japanese shiso.<br />
Cut into pieces after being battered and fried, it was<br />
served with a slightly<br />
sweet tamarind<br />
“TEARING PIECES OF THE<br />
chutney and a savory<br />
DELICATE, FIERY DOSA mint-chili chutney. As<br />

LEFT ME LONGING<br />
Next, I stayed in the<br />
FOR MORE.”<br />
spice lane with the<br />
very, very large, Curry<br />
Bowl special: spicy<br />
dosa. This flaming<br />
rice crepe—its insides lightly covered in chili paste and<br />
stuffed with potato curry—lapped over both sides of the<br />
serving plate. Tearing pieces of the delicate, fiery dosa<br />
off and plunging them into one of the accompanying,<br />
cooling chutneys left me longing for more.<br />
At this point, I deviated and went all in on chicken<br />
tikka masala and garlic naan. Sometimes sticking with<br />
the “norm” has its dividends. This is the combination all<br />
entry-level Indian food newbies should start with. The<br />
tikka masala “gravy” was a succulent, mouthwatering<br />
amalgamation of garlic, ginger, turmeric, and garam<br />
masala in a creamy tomato-based sauce. Paired with<br />
the fragrant garlic naan, it’s unimaginable that anyone<br />
could pass up an opportunity to enjoy one of the<br />
world’s most popular Indian dishes.<br />
As I considered the wisdom of finishing with a<br />
homemade dessert (I couldn’t possibly though; I didn’t<br />
even have room for a mint), I once again pondered the<br />
folly of my reluctant friends. Spice is the variety of life…<br />
don’t miss out.<br />

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream // You know the saying, “Life is short, eat dessert first”? Well, my<br />
10-year-old daughter and I did just that, and it was a great parenting decision. Who needs dinner when you can go to Handel’s?<br />
Here’s the “scoop” on Folsom’s latest sweet spot: Their ice cream—available in over 50 flavors (including fat free and no-sugaradded<br />
options) is made fresh daily in-house. Whether you pick a hand-packed quart or pint, pop (like a cake pop, but with ice<br />
cream), sundae, milkshake, cone, cup, or “hurricane,” expect friendly staff, cheery décor, and rows of ice cream freezers. My<br />
daughter went with an Oreo Dough Milkshake and said it was really good, but I had to make sure. And she was right:<br />
creamy, cold, and perfect. Lucky for me, they have something called the 4-Scoop Sampler, which I’m assuming is for<br />
indecisive people…or people who simply want four different flavors (I went with Salty Caramel Truffle, Chocolate<br />
Peanut Butter Ripple, Vanilla Caramel Brownie, and Brownie Dough). Next time you need an idea for “dinner,”<br />
Handel’s can help! 1011 East Bidwell Street, Suite 123, Folsom, 916-597-3815, @handelsfolsom —Julie Ryan<br />

Easy Corn Chowder<br />
Submitted by Genevieve Jerome, Folsom-based<br />
blogger @fittyfoodlicious, fittyfoodlicious.com<br />
• 6-8 strips bacon, cut<br />
into small pieces<br />
• 1 red onion,<br />
chopped<br />
• 4 russet potatoes<br />
cut into small cubes<br />
• 1 package fresh<br />
beef or chicken<br />
bone broth<br />
• 2 tsp. cornstarch<br />
(for thickening)<br />
• 2 cups heavy cream<br />
• *3-4 cups fresh<br />
corn<br />
• 3 cups shredded<br />
cheddar cheese<br />
• Chives, sea salt,<br />
and black pepper,<br />
for garnish<br />
1. Simmer the bacon pieces in a Dutch oven<br />
on low heat for 8-10 minutes. Once cooked<br />
through, remove from the pot, leaving the bacon<br />
grease.<br />
2. Simmer the chopped red onion in the bacon<br />
grease until translucent. Add the diced russet<br />
potatoes and bone broth and bring to a boil.<br />
Simmer the potatoes for about 15 minutes<br />
until tender.<br />
3. Whisk in the cornstarch and add the heavy<br />
cream, fresh corn, and shredded cheese and<br />
simmer for another 10 minutes. During the last<br />
two minutes of cooking, add half of the bacon.<br />
4. Garnish with the remaining bacon bits,<br />
more shredded cheese, chives, sea salt, and<br />
black pepper.<br />
*I recommend purchasing sweet corn from<br />
Davis Ranch Produce in Sloughhouse (typically<br />
available through <strong>November</strong>).<br />

diced onion in olive oil for about 3 minutes; stir in the<br />
mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes; stir in the<br />
zucchini, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, Italian<br />
seasoning, and sugar.<br />
2. Add the vegetable broth and stir well. Taste for<br />
seasoning; add salt and pepper accordingly.<br />
3. Turn the heat to high, cover pot, and bring soup to<br />
a boil. Add in the broken lasagna noodles and boil for<br />

instructions).<br />
4. Once noodles are done, turn off heat, and stir in the<br />

New Orleans Jambalaya<br />
Submitted by Denay DeGuzman, Sacramento-based<br />
blogger @confettiandbliss, confettiandbliss.com<br />
• 4 tbsp. olive oil, divided<br />
• 2 ribs of celery, chopped<br />
• 1 medium red onion, diced<br />
• 3 small bell peppers<br />
(combination of green, red,<br />
yellow, orange), chopped<br />
• 1 jalapeño, cored, seeded,<br />
and diced<br />
• 4 cloves of garlic, pressed<br />
or minced<br />
• 2 boneless/skinless<br />
chicken breasts, cut into<br />
bite-sized pieces<br />
• Salt and pepper, to taste<br />
Cajun Spice Blend<br />
• 1 tsp. paprika<br />
• 1 + 1/2 tsp. sea salt<br />
• 1 tsp. black pepper<br />
• 1 tsp. dried oregano<br />
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme<br />
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder<br />
• 14 oz. package Eckrich<br />
Smoked Sausage, sliced<br />
• 3 cups chicken broth<br />
• 28-ounce can crushed<br />
tomatoes<br />
• 2 cups long-grain rice<br />
• *Cajun spice blend (see<br />
below)<br />
• 2 bay leaves<br />
• 1 lb. raw shrimp, deveined<br />
and tail removed<br />
• 1 1/4 cup okra<br />
• Green onions and fresh<br />
parsley leaves, for garnish<br />
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder<br />
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (or<br />
less if you don’t like spicy<br />
foods!)<br />
Mix all ingredients together<br />
1. In a large, heavy pan with a lid, add 2 tablespoons<br />
of olive oil. Add in the celery, bell peppers, onions,<br />
jalapeño, and garlic. Sauté the veggies over mediumhigh<br />
heat until tender, about 4 minutes.<br />
2. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add<br />
another 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan with the<br />
veggies. Fold in the chicken and sausage. Continue to<br />
sauté everything until the chicken is almost cooked and<br />
no longer pink.<br />
3. Add in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, rice,<br />
and Cajun spice blend. Mix with a wooden spoon to<br />
combine all ingredients and add bay leaves. Cover and<br />
lower the heat to medium-low. Allow the jambalaya to<br />
simmer until the rice is fully cooked and tender, about 25<br />
minutes. While simmering, stir the ingredients every 4-5<br />
minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom<br />
of the pan and burning.<br />
4. Fold in the shrimp and okra. Cover and allow the<br />
shrimp to cook until done. Once done, remove the bay<br />
leaves. Do a taste test; add additional salt and pepper or<br />
cayenne pepper, as needed. Garnish with green onions<br />
and fresh parsley leaves.<br />

Turkey droppings tell a<br />
bird’s sex and age. Male<br />
droppings are j-shaped;<br />
female droppings are<br />
spiral-shaped. The larger the<br />
diameter, the older the bird.<br />
An adult turkey has<br />
5,000-6,000 feathers—count<br />
them!<br />
Enough with gobble,<br />
gobble; turkeys also cluck<br />
and purr.<br />
Young turkeys—called<br />
poults—scarf down insects<br />
like candy. Poults develop<br />
more of a taste for plants<br />
after they’re four weeks old.<br />

the wild turkey a “bird of<br />
courage” and thought it<br />
