Much of my daughter’s first three 

months were spent swaying, 

swaddling, swinging, and 

shushing her. But when the 

sobbing wouldn’t stop, and even 

the best baby whisperers didn’t 

know what to do, our saving grace was, and still is, the 

great outdoors. The moment that first rush of fresh 

air touches her chubby cheeks, an immediate sense 

of calm overcomes her. 

Eight months later and not much has changed. 

She still prefers sunshine over screens and birds 

over blocks. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, I 

suppose. Whenever I get into a “funk ” and can’t figure 

out why, nature is my antidote. Whether it’s going for 

a hike, bike ride, or simply sitting outside, there’s no 

better, or more immediate, mood booster. 

Luckily, this month’s magazine focuses on myriad ways to soak up the springtime 

sunshine. Freelance writer, photographer, and former wilderness guide, 

Ryan Martinez, takes us through some of his favorite alfresco activities— 

mountain biking, backpacking, bouldering, etc.—in our cover story, 

“Your (Local) Guide to the Great Outdoors” (page 43), with some top 

spots to try each adventure, “know before you go” tips, must-have 

apps, and more. After perusing the incredible pictures and reading 

his recommendations, I definitely feel inspired and more prepared 

to explore more. 

All that activity means hunger is bound to hit. In “Eat & Drink,” we 

share a plethora of places you can post up pre- or post-outing, including 

a new Oaxacan eatery in Folsom (page 80) and a woodfired 

pizzeria in Roseville that makes both classic and 

“Nature has creatively crafted pies (page 82). And if you’re wanting to 

dine out of doors, fret not. Starting on page 83, we share all 

been for me, 

the gear, gadgets, and grub you need for “A Perfect Picnic,” 

for as long as including portable recipes that even rookie cooks can 

create, six stellar sandwiches available at area eateries, 

I remember, a the best places to post up, and other must-pack provisions 

(like canned wine, of course!). 

source of solace, 

One downside of spring in our area is allergies. But 

inspiration, don’t let itchy eyes keep you cooped up. In Health & 

Wellness (page 66), learn why hay fever strikes and ways 

adventure, and to ease the sneeze; then turn to Editor’s Picks (page 60) 

for “11 Allergy Season Essentials,” including locally made 

delight; a home, 

honey, essential oils, and a treatment at Serenity Spa | Soul 

a teacher, a Yoga that promises to help heal your sinuses. 

According to a study last summer by Scientific 

companion.” Reports, “spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature 

is associated with good health and well-being,” so put

WHAT’S 

YOUR 

FAVORITE 

FLOWER? 

“Hydrangeas are big, colorful, and 

make me happy!”—Julie Ryan 

“The lotus. It represents 

growth, transformation, and 

enlightenment!” 

—Taylor Gillespie 

“Peonies signify a special time of 

year and complement any space 

with their cabbage-like casual 

aesthetic in shades of pink.” 

—Kerrie L. Kelly 

“Stargazer lilies. I love their vibrant 

color and aromatic fragrance; 

what’s more, they’re a traditional 

gift from my daughter on Mother’s 

Day and my birthday.” 

—Jami Areia 

“Calla lilies, because of their elegance 

and simplicity. Although subtle, 

they’re strong, influential, and 

friendly. Being from New Mexico, I 

was always inspired by the works 

of Georgia O’Keeffe, and this flower 

brings me close to home.” 

—Ryan Martinez 

“I’m fascinated by tulip magnolias. 

They're so striking and gorgeous! 

I just wished they didn't disappear 

almost immediately after 

blooming.”—Tara Harbert

10 TEENS 

MAKING THEIR MARK 

BY TARA MENDANHA 

In this year’s roundup of youthful visionaries, we spotlight 

some of the region’s best, brightest, and most inspiring 

students. In no particular order… 

Kate MacPherson 

What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? 

Being selected to represent my school at the Northern 

California Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Conference (HOBY 

NorCal) in June 2019. 

What are your hobbies and involvements in school? 

I’ve been on the varsity volleyball team since my freshman 

year and was selected as a co-captain and given all-league 

honors during my sophomore and junior years. Aside from 

volleyball, I serve as one of our editors-in-chief, head of 

sports, and the social media manager for the Oakmont 

student media publication, Norse Notes. 

What’s one thing not many people know about you? 

I once memorized every capital to every country in the world.

Angel Alonzo 

18, OAKMONT HIGH SCHOOL 

What accomplishment are you most proud of and 

why? 

Raising $1,500 for my school music program to use 

for purchasing new instruments, sheet music, and 

equipment. Over the course of more than a year, I 

prepared the 10 hardest pieces I’d learned throughout 

my piano career and successfully performed them for 

an audience of over 100 in October 2019. 


I’m the president and current team captain of the 

Science Bowl Club at Vista, and I coach the Science 

Bowl Team at Folsom Middle School. I also help run 

the Computer Science Club at Vista, which my friends 

and I founded this year; and I’m co-president of Vista’s 

Robotics Club. I participated in orchestra last year as a 

pianist and violinist and still help out. I also play varsity 

tennis on the school team. 

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? 

Japan. It has such a different culture from the U.S., 

along with a unique history and is one of the leading 

countries in terms of developing cutting-edge 

technology.

E-sports league, working out, and doing yard 

work. I’ve also been involved in our school’s 

student government program for all four years, 

where I’m able to make a difference on our 

campus with events and fundraisers. 

What’s one thing that not many people know 

about you? 

I’m generally a quiet person but enjoy hanging 

out with large groups, which is why I like student 

government so much. 

What are your plans for the future? 

Join the Navy and begin a medical career.

17, EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL 

What accomplishment are you most proud of 

and why? 

Being the youth volunteer director for El Dorado 

County’s Empty Bowls fundraiser last year, where 

I was recruited to provide training, organization, 

and leadership to 100 volunteer students. The 

event raised $37,000 to reduce hunger and 

malnutrition in our community and throughout 

the world. I’m also proud of being asked to attend 

the March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C.—a lifechanging 

event that led me to become a strong 

advocate for stricter gun regulations. 

What are your hobbies and involvement in 

school? 

I’ve played high school soccer for the last three 

years and ran both track and cross-country 

my freshmen and sophomore year. I’m also

17, PONDEROSA HIGH 

SCHOOL 


why? 

Receiving a full-ride merit scholarship to the 

University of Notre Dame. I’ll never forget the look 

on my mom’s face when I told her. My parents 

made a lot of sacrifices leaving their home country 

of Mexico to give their children a better education. 

When I told my mom I got the scholarship, she 

cried, hugged me, and said: “Everything has been 

worth it.” 


school? 

I’m a student in the International Baccalaureate 

(IB) Diploma Program at Oakmont and have 

been the president of the Multicultural and 

CREATE Clubs all four years. I’m also the founder 

and president of the Viking CAST Club, which is 

focused around creativity, activity, and service; 

and the SUN Club, an environmental awareness 

and protection club. In addition, I’m the captain of 

Oakmont’s all-girls League of Legends e-sports 

team. Throughout the past four years, I’ve 

volunteered by mentoring freshmen and tutoring 

students in math, French, world studies, Spanish, 

and English-learning. 

What’s one thing not many people know about 

you? 

English was my second language, and I wasn’t 

considered fluent until fourth grade. 


why? 

Being the section leader in my high school marching 

band. It took a lot of courage to step out of my comfort 

zone and try out for this position. 


This will be my third year as a member of the California 

Scholarship Federation, where I currently serve as a 

public relations officer in my school’s chapter; and my 

fourth year as part of the Campus Light Club where 

Christians gather every Monday at lunch. 


I was adopted, which helps fuel my desire to support 

causes such as pro-life and organizations that work to 

end human trafficking.

What accomplishment are you most proud of

My track team’s 4 x 1600 relay first-place finish at 

the prestigious Arcadia Invitational in April 2019 

where we set a national mark with a total time 

of 20:20.82. Our team entered the race unknown 

and ended up beating several nationally ranked 

teams. Also, qualifying for the 2019 Footlocker 

Cross Country Nationals (only 40 girls across the 

U.S. qualify). 


school? 

Skiing, baking, traveling, and running. At school, 

I enjoy challenging myself academically (I have a 

4.3 GPA) and am a member of two clubs and the 

California Scholarship Federation. 

Who is your role model? 

My teammate: Izzy Fauria. She’s not only an 

accomplished runner but is also very inspirational,

our team. She was my mentor prior to arriving at 

St. Francis and is an amazing training partner who 

keeps me motivated.

Q: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE 

BETWEEN COSMETIC 

SURGERY AND PLASTIC 

SURGERY? 

A: Plastic surgery is a specialty 

some doctors enter after 

medical school, so they can 

offer both reconstructive 

surgeries, which return injured 

body parts back to normal, 

and cosmetic surgeries, which 

take normal body parts and 

enhance them. An example 

of reconstructive surgery 

would be the creation of a 

new breast for a woman who 

had a mastectomy, whereas 

cosmetic surgery would be 

a woman who had a breast 

augmentation to enhance her 

shape and appearance. The 

same comparisons apply to 

the face and rest of the body. 

Some plastic surgeons offer 

both, whereas some only offer 

cosmetic surgery, due to its 

profitability and popularity. It’s 

important to note that for the 

same reasons, many non-plastic 

surgeons offer and perform 

cosmetic surgery. When 

looking for a doctor, do your 

research online, gather as much 

information as you can, ask 

questions, get referrals, and of 

course, meet the doctor.

Not OK Project 

by 

Helping Our Heroes 

LINDA HOLDERNESS // photos by DANTE FONTANA 

The Not OK Project 

has a message for 

first responders who 

experience trauma 

in the line of duty: It’s OK to 

not be OK. These heroic men 

and women, who may be injured 

physically or psychologically 

as they aid disaster victims, 

are often timid when reaching 

out for help due to the stigma 

surrounding it and the fear of 

appearing weak, says the project’s 

founder and president, Eric Meier. 

Their bravado is a mask, Meier 

says, and the fallout could be 

tragic. 

First responders—police, 

firefighters, correctional officers, 

9-1-1 dispatchers, EMTs, anyone 

dealing with suffering—commit 

suicide at higher rates than the 

general population; the data is 

likely under-reported, but one 

survey estimates as much as 

10 times higher. That shouldn’t 

be the case, Meier says. First 

responders face repeated danger 

and witness trauma over the 

course of long careers. “The 

effect is cumulative,” Meier says. 

“The stress keeps piling on and 

may not be realized for a few 

years. There has to be a release 

somewhere.” And that release 

sometimes leads to suicide. 

The Not OK Project strives 

to prevent these suicides by 

“bringing first responders out 

of the dark” through shared 

activities like fishing, camping, 

music, sports, even yoga—done 

outdoors whenever possible. 

According to studies, Meier 

says, outdoor and, even better, 


wilderness activity helps traumatized people reconnect with their sense of well-being more 

effectively than medication alone. To that end, the group, formed a year ago, is planning its 

first three-day retreat at Hume Lake, deep in the Sequoia National Forest, for the weekend of 

November 13. “It’s completely off the map up there,” Meier says, “a complete disconnection. 

It’s a time to forget about everything, focus on themselves and each other, and have a blast.” 

Participants will attend sessions dealing with trauma and get physical with activities like 

fishing, hiking, archery, and even axe throwing. In an earlier outing on August 2, the group will 

attend a River Cats game honoring first responders. 

The idea to form the Not OK Project arose from Meier’s own experiences with trauma. 

A deputy with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department for 10 years, he lost friends to 

shootings, was involved in the traumatic shootout involving Sacramento police officer, Tara 

O’Sullivan, had to be hospitalized “a few 

times” and, worst of all, was not able 

to save a days-old baby on whom he 

performed CPR. “I would continually 

tell my wife ‘I’m OK,’” he says, “but I 

was not OK.” Meier formed the Not OK 

Project after the shooting death of a 

law-enforcement colleague “sent me to 

a dark place,” he says. There are other 

organizations that help first responders 

but so far as he knows, the project, which 

partners with licensed professionals and 

local businesses, is the only organization 

in California offering hands-on help for 

this vulnerable population and their 

families, providing them with specific 

activities to tackle PTSD and stress. 

If you’re a first responder or family 

member dealing with trauma, you can 

find more information at notokproject. 

com or by calling 916-573-4233. All

Spotlight on 

Dawn Blanchfield 

by HEATHER L. NELSON 

Multifaceted artist Dawn Blanchfield has lived in Lincoln the past 15 years, loving the trees 

and green open spaces that remind her of childhood in Michigan–where she first began 

painting, drawing, and taking classes. The quintessential creative, Blanchfield works in 

a variety of mediums: pen and ink, printmaking, acrylics, collage, encaustic, watercolor, 

ceramics, fiber, and digital art—most recently adding sewing and jewelry to her arsenal. “I may look 

like a mild-mannered mom from the suburbs, but at heart I’m an old punk rocker from Detroit,” 

shares Blanchfield. “I love The Clash, David Bowie, all things gritty and dark, bold black and white 

graphics of woodcuts, religious iconography, symbolism, folklore, graphic novels, etc.” Narrative in 

nature, the honest, authentic artist expresses her emotions and experiences into her diverse works— 

whose themes range from skeletons and skulls, to ravens, wolves, life, death, mythology, and more.

HLN: WHAT INSPIRES YOU? 

DB: I tend to live in the moment, so what I’m creating 

is often influenced by what’s happening in my life. After 

some oral surgery last year, I made a graphic ink drawing 

of a skull with long teeth. A character from a video game 

has shown up in another drawing and a watercolor. The 

music I’m listening to also influences what I’m doing. 

Lyrics show up in paintings or titles all the time. I also 

love going to museums and galleries to see the work of 

other artists. When I’m stuck, I always go back to pencil 

on paper and draw faces or hands.

7 

HLN: YOU’RE A SELF-PROFESSED "TECHNIQUES 

ADDICT." HOW SO? 

DB: My friends started teasing and calling me the 

“Techniques Queen,” because I’m always taking 

workshops and classes. I have a bit of a monkey mind 

and really do jump from medium to medium. I love 

learning new things and have often said I could easily 

be a lifelong university student. New skills are just more 

tools. Of course, that also means I have many actual 

toolboxes full of various art supplies. I’d say I could stop 

anytime, but that would be a lie.

HLN: WHAT WOULD YOU TELL YOUR 

YOUNGER SELF? 

DB: Don’t be so quick to say no to things you think you 

can’t do. I dismissed the idea of going into commercial/ 

graphic art in college, because I didn’t think I could work 

with deadlines or someone else’s idea—yet I’ve found that 

I work really well with a challenge or when forced out of 

my comfort zone. I might complain a lot while I’m doing 

it but am usually happy with the end result. 

9 

HLN: WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE 

GOALS? 

DB: I’ve spent the last year working on 

getting my Etsy shop up and running. I’d 

like to grow that while continuing to show 

work in galleries throughout the area. In the 

“dream big or go home” department, I hope 

to get my own printing press someday. Maybe 

I’ll also learn how to weld.

Guide to the 

Great Outdoors 

WORDS & PHOTOGRAPHY BY RYAN MARTINEZ 

Deer Park Creek / Rocklin Quarry 

Simply put, our region offers world-class outdoor activities. Hiking, backpacking, camping, 

rock climbing, and mountain biking are just some of the true cornerstones of adventure, and 

we have it all right here in our backyard. The outdoors just called, and they want to see you. 


HIKING 

TAKE A WALK ON THE SCENIC SIDE 

South Fork American River Trail, 

Cronan Ranch 

MUST-HAVE APP 

All Trails, 

provides you 

with access info, 

mileage, and GPS 

tracking so you 

know where to 

go (and where 

you are). The app 

also offers social 

sharing, ratings, 

and allows you to 

record your trails. 

Hike on! 

Monument 

Trail 

This heavily trafficked, moderate hike leads 

to a beautiful waterfall with options to loop 

in other trails for added mileage. 

4 // South Fork American River Trail 

Where: El Dorado Hills 

Parking: Skunk Hollow Trailhead, $10 

Distance: 12.3 miles 

This out-and-back trail weaves around the 

edge of the South Fork of the American 

River. Turn around at the start of the West 

Ridge Trail, or continue on to Cronan Ranch 

for an added 5.2 miles (17.5 total) 

5 // Echo Lakes Trail 

Where: Turn off of Highway 50 on Johnson 

Pass Road 

Parking: Stay left to arrive at parking 

area just beneath Lower Echo Lake 


This moderate, 5.3-mile trail takes you 

out and back to the lower and upper 

Echo Lakes with beautiful mountain views, 

including views of Lake Tahoe (head straight 

past the “horse path” sign at the beginning 

of the trail). 

As humans, we need to feel the crisp air 

on our face, the soft dirt beneath our feet, 

the mystery of unexplored paths that 

ramble around rivers and mountaintops. 

Thankfully, we live in one of the most 

privileged places on the planet to get 

our dose of nature, with hundreds of 

hiking trails leading to rivers, lakes, 

and panoramic views of the amazing 

landscape we call home. 

5 MUST-TRY TRAILS 

1 // Jenkinson Lake Loop Trail 

Where: Pollock Pines, south of highway 50 

off of the Sly Park exit 

Parking: Free parking just outside the gates; 

$10 parking fee inside the park 

Distance: 7.6-mile loop around Jenkinson 

Lake 

Lush forests, lakeside beaches, and 

abundant wildlife characterize this 

moderate hike. There’s very little elevation 

gain and multiple access points, which 

makes it an ideal hike for the whole family. 

A large waterfall marks the approximate 

halfway point, just past a nature center 

where you’ll learn about the ladybug 

migrations, the role of bats in our 

ecosystem, and how to spot the nests of the 

numerous bald eagles that frequent the 

area. Note: This hike can be abbreviated as 

needed. 

2 // Monument Trail to Monroe Ridge 

Where: Coloma 

Parking: $8/car 

Distance: Monument Trail: .5 miles; Monroe 

Ridge: 2.5 miles; total: 3-mile loop 

One event here led to the greatest mass 

movement in the Western Hemisphere: 

the discovery of gold. Monument Trail 

meanders through the natural and 

historical backdrop of our home and can 

be connected to the Monroe Ridge trail for a 

longer hike, looping back to the monument. 

If you want a moderate, scenic hike and a bit 

of history up in the mix, don’t miss this! 

3 // Hidden Falls 

Where: Hidden Falls Regional Park, Auburn 

Parking: $8/full day; $4/half day; must visit 

the Hidden Falls Regional Park website for 

parking reservations on weekends and 

holidays 

Distance: 3.2-mile loop 

Hidden Falls 


FIRST AID 

Blisters: Prevention is key. Place 

moleskin on any “hot spot” before 

the blister forms, and feel that ohso-sweet 

relief prior to feeling the 

pain! In a bind? Use athletic tape, 

Band-Aids, or even a piece of duct 

tape because, well…duct tape fixes 

everything. 

Rattlesnake Bites: We know they’reout 

there, and there are a lot of myths 

as to what to do. Sorry Billy Crystal, 

the old “cut and suck” method is 

a no go. According to the National 

Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), 

this is what to do: 

1. Check the Scene. Don’t create 

more victims by getting all riled up. 

Look around and make sure it’s safe 

to stop to administer first-aid. 

2. Stay Calm. Sometimes a rattlesnake 

bite is “dry” and may not 

mean envenomation. At least remind 

yourself of that to help calm you 

down, because the calmer you are 

the lower your heart rate will be, 

meaning you will slow down the flow 

of the venom. 

3. Immobilize the limb. Avoid compressing 

or restricting blood flow. 

The old Boy Scout tourniquet is a big 

no! Remove any jewelry or restrictive 

clothing to allow maximum blood 

flow and keep the limb immobile, if 

possible. 

4. Get to a hospital. If you need to 

hike out, do so calmly. Remember: 

Keep that heart rate low. Don’t get 

hasty and add a twisted ankle to the 

dilemma. 

5. Document the progression of 

symptoms. The clearer you are about 

the succession of events, the better 

your physician will be able to provide 

health care. 

MOUNTAIN BIKING 

JUST KEEP SPINNING 

When it comes to adventure sports, 

especially mountain biking, “we have it all 

at our fingertips,” says Erin Gorrell, owner 

of Folsom Bike. Mountain biking offers 

the chance to explore vast areas of our 

natural landscape quickly while getting in 

shape and having fun. From pure scenic 

trails for a mellow ride with the fam, to a 

daunting downhill single track to satisfy 

the even the boldest adrenaline junkie, 

we’ve got you covered.. 

WHERE TO RIDE

3 // El Dorado Hills 

Explore the newly developing “Dirt Beatty” 

bike trails for some new routes and serious 

downhill potential; use Strava for info. 

MUST-HAVE APP 

Strava, for 

runners and 

cyclists allows 

you to view and 

record trails, join 

challenges, follow 

users, and monitor 

your progress. 

4 // Granite Bay 

“Granite Bay is probably the best bet for 

beginners,” says Gorrell. “There are trails 

there that have minimal hills, roots, and 

rocks. There are even some ‘whoopdywhoop’ 

sections where you get some 

downhill speed and fun turns without being 

too intimidating.” Look up Granite Bay bike 

trails on Strava to get started. 

5 // Folsom 

With more than 50 miles of paved trails, 

exploring Folsom’s bike trails is a must. Get 

the map at folsom.ca.us. 

HOW TO REPAIR A FLAT 

(AFTER REMOVING TIRE) 

1. Remove all the air from your tire’s 

tube 

2. Place tire lever between your tire 

and the rim 

3. Push lever down and attach to 

one of the spokes 

4. Use other lever to slide around the 

tire to remove only one bead from 

the rim 

5. Remove tube and keep in place, 

carefully slide hand through the 

inside of the tire to identify debris/ 

cause of the leak 

6. Replace tube; patch if necessary 

7. Inflate tire tube enough for tube to 

take shape 

8. Place tube inside tire above rim, 

ensuring it’s properly seated 

9. Replace the removed bead on the 

rim and ensure it’s properly seated 

10. Inflate tube slowly to ensure 

proper seating of the bead 

11. Continue riding 


Granite Arch 

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO 

THE GEAR 

Climbing shoes: these are specially 

adapted to adhere to the rock 

Climbing harness: connects to 

the rope (gyms often have special 

harnesses for the little ones) 

Rope: keeps you from falling to the 

ground 

Belay device: creates friction on the 

rope to prevent a climber from falling 

Chalk: keeps those mits dry 

Chalk bag: take your chalk with you 

CLIMBING VS. BOULDERING 

While climbing requires the use of 

ropes and belay devices for safety, 

bouldering is done without the use 

of ropes at much lower heights with 

thick pads beneath you, allowing 

you to forfeit the need for a belay 

device, rope, and harness. You only 

need you and some shoes to boulder 

(that chalk we recommended earlier; 

definitely still recommended) and a 

“spotter” to help protect you on the 

falls. While the technique is very similar 

to climbing, bouldering tends to 

be more about power where climbing 

is geared more toward endurance. 

Both are amazing and worth doing to 

become a well-rounded climber. 

GRADES OF DIFFICULTY 

Climbing routes in the U.S. are symbolized 

by “5.”something (e.g., 5.5 all 

the way up to 5.15). 5.6 is going to be 

much easier than 5.10. For your first 

time out, play around between the 

5.6-5.9 range. 

ROCK CLIMBING 

ASCENDING IS TRENDING 

While climbing isn’t without its moments of fear, it provides one of the deepest feelings 

of accomplishment you can possibly feel. Though an inherently dangerous sport, using 

proper safety measures and creating redundant safety checks and backups can largely 

eliminate some of them. Always seek proper instruction before heading out and either 

start at an indoor climbing gym to meet experienced climbers (more on that below), hire 

an AMGA-certified climbing guide, or take a course (our local REI stores offer them) where 

you’ll learn proper technique and safety tools. 

Bouldering “problems” are symbolized 

with a “V”something. V-easy is 

the easiest going all the way up to 

V16. Play in the V-easy to V2 range 

for a first-time outing. 

HAVE FUN! 

Remember to climb safe, breathe, 

enjoy the experience, and don’t be 

hard on yourself; it’s about challenging 

yourself and having a good time! 


Deer Park Creek / 

Rocklin Quarry 

4 LOCAL CRAGS 

WE LOVE 

1 // Auburn Quarry 

Situated a short 40-minute 

hike from Highway 49 and the 

North Fork of the American 

River, this is a great place for 

a beginning lead climber to 

practice their lead climbing 

skills. There are plenty of 

easy to moderate routes 

with good protection. We 

recommend starting out 

on the first wall you see 

on your left side as you 

approach the crag, known 

as “scale wall.” It can also be 

accessed from the top to 

easily set up a top rope. 

Favorite climbs on the “scale 

wall:” M+M (5.8), Scooby 

Snacks (5.9), and Scale Wall 

(5.10) 

2 // Sugarloaf 

Sitting just across Highway 

50 in Kyburz, Sugarloaf 

offers traditional and sport 

climbing routes on smooth, 350-foot-tall 

granite. Park on the south side of Highway 

50 and start across the street toward the 

phone company building. A steep approach 

leads you to Sugarloaf, the most prominent 

formation on the hillside. You can’t miss it. 

3 // Deer Park Creek/Rocklin Quarry 

With over 70 boulder problems ranging 

TOP TIPS 

1. Use your feet. 

The key to becoming 

good at climbing 

is trusting your 

feet and your legs 

to push you up the wall, while only 

using your arms to keep you on the 

wall. 

2. Straighten your arms. By keeping 

your arms straight and relaxed when 

possible, you’ll save much-needed 

energy to get you to the top. 

3. Keep your hips close. This will help 

keep your center of gravity close to 

the wall and, more importantly, over 

your feet where you should have 

most of your weight (see “Tip #1). 

4. Climb smarter, not harder. Climbing 

is as much a mental activity as it is 

physical. If something is feeling really 

hard, sit back for a few minutes and 

think about the best way to climb up. 

It’s more like solving a puzzle than it 

is about brute strength. 

from V easy to V10, Deer Park Creek 

(or the Rocklin Quarry) is a great 

option for a quick climbing escape. 

Situated alongside Pacific Street, 

accessing this old granite quarry is 

as easy as it comes. Bring a “crash 

pad,” some chalk, and high vibes for 

an awesome outing on some short 

but quality rocks. 

Hop on “The Warm Up” (V0), 

“Desperado” (V2), “Nemesis”(V3), and 

“Thin Traverse” (V4) for an epic day. 

4 // Lover’s Leap 

“The leap” is one of the best trad 

climbing areas in the state, and 

by far the best local spot if you’re 

looking for some real exposure. 

With the cliffs rising 

up to 600 feet, to 

say that this is a 

bold adventure 

is understating it. 

There are very few 

“sport” routes, mostly 

above 5.10+. 

If you’re new to trad 

climbing, start on 

“Hog’s Back,” which 

has routes from 

5.5 for you to learn 

to place gear and 

become comfortable 

with the systems. For 

those who are already 

comfortable leading 

traditional routes, 

some of the classics 

are “Bear’s Reach” (5.7), 

“Corrugation Corner” 

(5.7), “Haystack” (5.8), 

and “The Line” (5.9). 

MUST-HAVE APP 

Mountain Project, Climbers use this app to 

share information on climbing areas and how to 

access them, route information and grades, and 

“beta,” or specific route information helping 

climbers find key holds, protection points, and 

anchors. 

INDOOR 

CLIMBING GYMS: 

PREPARE FOR 

THE GREAT OUTDOORS 

The growth of indoor rock 

climbing has quickly become 

the fastest-growing market 

in the fitness industry, and for 

good reason. Climbing is an 

incredibly complete training 

incorporating strength, 

flexibility, endurance, and 

mental focus into a single 

activity. For the first time 

in history, a climbing film 

won an Oscar for best 

documentary (Free Solo) and 

the sport is even making its 

debut in this year’s Summer 

Olympics. Indoor climbing 

gyms are the best place to 

learn important skills and 

meet experienced climbers 

before venturing outdoors. 

What’s even better, they’re 

accessible to the entire 

family, even the little ones!

Aeropress coffee maker. Place 

Aeropress on top of your favorite 

camp mug. 

3. Add a bit of hot water and stir to 

evenly wet the grounds, then fill to 

the top. 

4. Coffee will drip into cup. Leave 

sitting for around 15-20 seconds

HELLO 

HAY FEVER 

Understanding Allergies 

by KOURTNEY JASON 

Seasonal hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, is extremely 

common in the U.S., affecting approximately 10-15% 

of the population. “That is somewhere around 30-40 

million people,” says Matthew S. Bowdish, MD, FAAAAI, 

FACAAI, allergist and immunologist at The Allergy Center at 

Sacramento ENT. 

Allergic rhinitis is inflammation in the nose when an 

immune system overreacts to allergens in the air, explains 

Binita Mandal, MD, allergist and immunologist at Dignity 

Health Mercy Medical Group. Yet, seasonal hay fever is 

just one type of allergy affecting us. “There are several 

types of allergies, including environmental, drug, 

stinging insect (bees, venoms), foods, and chemicals 

causing dermatologic reactions. The most 

common of these is seasonal allergies; in the 

Sacramento area, tree and grass pollen 

season can stretch from February 

through June or longer.” 

What are the allergic agents 

around you? Jennifer Niemeyer, 

DAOM, LAc, of The Root 

Wellness, says, “People [are 

allergic to a] variety of things, 

including grasses, dust, 

mold, flower pollen, and 

tree pollen.” According to 

Ali Amirzadeh, MD, allergist 

and immunologist at Dignity 

Health Mercy Medical 

Group, common symptoms 

of a seasonal allergy 

attack include a runny 

and stuffy nose, sneezing, 

itchy and red eyes, and 

breathing problems such 

as wheezing, shortness 

of breath, and chest 

tightness, while skin 

symptoms can include 

hives and swelling. 

Photo ©Pixel-Shot - stock.adobe.com. 


Jamie Brinkley, ND, at Revolutions Naturopathic, further 

explains why the body responds with these reactions. “Our 

immune system interacts with the environment on a daily basis 

assessing if something is ‘self’ or ‘other’ and ‘threat’ or ‘not a threat,’” 

she says. “We get allergies when that system has decided this 

particle is harmful and an inflammatory response is warranted.” 

As allergy season is officially upon us, sufferers can do their 

part to help remedy their symptoms. Dr. Bowdish recommends 

checking local pollen counts for your specific area. “Just Google 

the term ‘pollen count’ with your city name, and you should 

be able to get a general idea of what pollens are most active at 

that time,” he says. “Some allergy practices will also hand count 

pollens throughout the season, which can be the most accurate 

pollen counts since they’ll be individualized for your area rather 

than based upon weather patterns.” 

Troy Scribner, MD, an allergy specialist in the Department 

of Allergy & Immunology at Kaiser Permanente Roseville, says 

the primary treatments for allergies tend to be medication that 

can be obtained easily, including oral antihistamines, such as 

diphenhydramine, cetirizine, fexofenadine, and loratadine. “For 

individuals who have moderate to severe symptoms or persistent 

symptoms, the use of a steroid nasal spray tends to be the most 

effective treatment,” he says. “Steroid nasal sprays help to prevent 

the inflammation that leads to allergy symptoms and work best 

when used consistently. Both the steroid nasal sprays and the 

antihistamines can be used together for better results.” 

Dr. Brinkley suggests eating a low-histamine diet during the 

worst of your allergy season, which “includes a diet rich in fresh 

meat and freshly caught fish; non-citrus fruits; eggs; glutenfree 

grains, such as quinoa and rice; dairy substitutes, such as 

coconut milk and almond milk; fresh vegetables (except tomatoes, 

avocados, spinach, and eggplant); and cooking oils, such as olive 

oil,” she says. “There are many herbs and supplements that can be 

helpful during allergy season, too. My current favorite is freezedried 

stinging nettle leaf.” She also suggests allergy sufferers use 

a HEPA air filter in their bedroom when they sleep; shower at 

night so that outdoor pollen is removed before it can deposit 

into your bed; and use a daily sinus rinses or neti pot with 

saline to help remove allergens from nasal passages and 

keep sinuses clear. 

Another way to treat allergies is with allergenspecific 

immunotherapy (SIT), Dr. Bowdish says. 

“Immunotherapy changes the body’s immune system 

by toning down the allergic response over time and 

better controlling the overactive inflammatory 

pathways,” he says. “Immunotherapy can be given 

either via a subcutaneous injection or with 

sublingual tablets or drops. The limitation with 

immunotherapy is that it takes several months 

before the treatment protocol kicks in.” 

If you require multiple treatments to get relief, there 

may be additional treatment options, including some that are 

more long-term. “Talk to your doctor to discuss a plan that will 

work best for you,” Dr. Scribner says.

Party Hardy 

The Ultimate Shed Shindig 

by KERRIE L. KELLY 

We've all heard of parties on patios, barbecues in backyards, and 

open-air fiestas, but what about shed shindigs? A little party 

tip: The outdoor shed is the perfect place to house smaller 

celebrations. With rising real estate prices and space in some 

cities a treasured commodity, the backyard shed is a hidden space just waiting 

to be utilized. Whether it’s a compact man cave for watching the big game in, or 

a Sunday afternoon tea spot, the shed is a blank canvas just waiting to be used. 

Hang décor, add tables and seating, and invite your guests to take a seat and enjoy 

your cool and contemporary party place. 

BEFORE BREAKING GROUND 

The beauty of backyard sheds is their 

ability to add more living space in a 

quick construction time frame or easy 

prefab build. First, consult your local 

county, as many have requirements for 

what can be allowed square-footage 

wise without a permit and how far away 

it should be placed from the property 

line. Prefabricated sheds are great 

options for less hassle, less construction 

time, and for those wanting a quick 

addition to their backyard without the 

need for in-depth professional help. 

For homeowners looking to add a 

custom space that’s fit specifically for 

their needs, a custom shed is an ideal 

choice, where curated finishes, layouts, 

and unique applications like hidden 

storage or a kitchenette can all be added. 

No matter what, be sure to do your 

homework on requirements before 

getting started. 

CELEBRATE IN STYLE 

What’s the point of having an 

entertaining shed without some festive 

décor? Your new space is the perfect 

excuse for getting some exciting items 

that show off your favorite trends and 

shades. It’s also a great way to have fun 

with those patterned pillows or funky 

pieces of art you might not have room 

for in your main living spaces. A fun 

bar cart is a compact way to move the 

party indoors or out, while a charming 

pendant or chandelier hung over a small 

seating area is a sure way to have your 

guests in awe. A shed is also a perfect 

candidate for space-saving furniture: 

think upholstery with a hidden nook for 

stowing away winter throws, chests that 

can be used as both storage and bench 

seating, a bar cabinet that doubles as a 

bar and for holding festive dishware, and 

open-mounted shelving to store all your 

entertaining needs. 

BRING SOME “AWE” TO THE OUTSIDE 

Use your new shed as a way to show 

off your unique style! Whether your 

prefabricated shed is begging for a 

bright, bold paint job or your custom 

one is in need of a few shutters to round 

out the exterior, use it as an extension 

of your home and take advantage of 

surrounding outdoor space by adding 

some fun design elements. A blank wall 

is a great place for metal artwork, while 

an adjoining patio is ideal for a cute 

bistro table or larger entertainment set. 

Lastly, don’t forget lighting. String some 

market lights overhead or go for solarpowered 

staked lighting to surround the 

exterior and provide your shed soiree 

with proper lighting all night long. 

Let’s get the party started! What are you 

planning to put into your celebratory 

shed?

Santa Cruz 

Spring’s sprung, which means it’s time to avail of longer, light-filled days with a sun and fun-filled 

holiday. For those itching to get away without going terribly far away, we have a destination for 

you. Read on for our top picks of where to go, stay, and play this season. 

IF YOU HAVE TWO DAYS… 

NORTH LAKE TAHOE 

Kiss those cold weather blues away with a 

visit to Lake Tahoe. Regardless if it’s your first 

or fiftieth time, the lake and surrounding 

scenery always impress. And though winter 

and summer beckon travelers looking to 

partake in season-specific activities, spring 

is equally enticing, thanks to fewer folks, 

discounted room rates, and milder temps. 

CHECK IN Whether the tots are in tow or 

you’re on a romantic getaway, The Ritz- 

Carlton, Lake Tahoe, is a prime pick for 

luxury lodging. Sited midmountain, 

amongst the 

slopes of Northstar, this 

high-end-without-beinghoity-toity 

hotel is the 

stuff Tahoe dreams are 

made of: floor-to-ceiling 

windows with 

unobstructed views of 

Sierra Nevada’s pine-filled 

forest, in-room fireplaces, and easy 

access to an array of activities, plus 

family-friendly programs like Ritz Kids, 

where little ones can discover the 

destination via supervised, hands-on arts, 

crafts, and adventures. 

On-property amenities run the gamut from 

fine dining (Manzanita’s lodge-inspired 

space with artfully crafted cuisine is a must 

for breakfast, lunch, or dinner to slope-side 

spa treatments (we recommend “Journey 

Through the Forest” or “Tahoe Tree of Life”), 

and Marshmology (complimentary s’mores 

featuring house-made marshmallows at 

the fire pit). 

CHECK OUT If you manage to peel 

yourself away from the plush 

premises, then take advantage of 

the resort’s intermountain gondola, 

which transports you to the Village at 

Northstar for shopping, entertainment, 

and dining options aplenty. Speaking of the 

latter, you’d be remiss to miss Bourbon 

Pub, the village’s newest eatery from 

beloved Bay Area restaurateur Michael 

Mina. Serving elevated pub grub with a 

playful twist (the Double Cheeseburger with 

Spa at The Ritz-Carlton

Santa Cruz 

Dream Inn 

Santa Cruz 

Bourbon Pub 

Alibi Ale Works 

Charlie Hong Kong 

American cheese, caramelized and raw 

onions, and secret sauce is akin to In-N-Out 

but umpteen times better), alongside craft 

cocktails and plenty of local brews, it’s a 

perfect place to grab a bite noon or night. 

Just a stone’s throw away 

sits Truckee, which 

boasts a bevy 

of breweries, 

boutiques, and 

foodie finds. Stop by 

Alibi Ale Works for 

an experimental sour 

and plate of Thai chicken 

nachos, Bespoke for oneof-a-kind, 

handmade goods from 

independent artisans, and Riverside 

Studios to peruse or purchase 

works by five locally based artists. 

The beauty of a springtime escape 

here is, depending on Mother Nature’s 

plans, you can take advantage of freshly 

fallen snow with a sledding, snowshoe, or 

downhill skiing adventure; or bask in the 

blue skies and blooming wildflowers by 

heading out on a hike (we recommend the 

five-mile, heavily trafficked, out-and-back 

Five Lakes Trail). 

Did You Know? 

The water in Lake Tahoe is 99.7% pure, 

about the same as distilled water. It’s so 

clear that a white dinner plate can be seen 

at approximately 70 feet below the surface. 

IF YOU HAVE THREE DAYS… 

SANTA CRUZ 

Cruising into Santa Cruz, you’ll feel your 

worries wash away, as the town’s laid-back 

beach vibes take over. From catching 

waves and killer sunsets, to strolling the 

laid-back but still buzzing downtown 

district, or exploring the 14-plus state 

parks, there’s an adventure for all in this 

slice of California paradise. 

CHECK IN The aptly named Dream 

Inn Santa Cruz is indeed dreamy. 

Between the beachfront setting (all 

rooms offer oceanfront views), 

mid-century modern decor, and 

thoughtful amenities, it checks all 

the boxes—and more. Light, 

bright, and oozing with 

comfort, the surfinspired 

space is a 

breath of fresh ocean 

air. Swim in the heated 

pool just steps from the 

sand, relax in a plush, 

pillow-lined cabana bed 

(fruit-forward cocktail in hand, 

of course), borrow one of the 

complimentary bikes, or book a 

reservation at Jack O’Neill Restaurant for 

a steaming bowl of bouillabaisse or crispy 

calamari with a side of live music 

(Thursday-Saturday). 

CHECK OUT Sure, the beach is always a 

sure bet—and with 29 miles of scenic 

coastline you’re bound to find one that 

floats your boat—but there’s plenty more 

Humble Sea Brewery 

in store, too. Head into 

Midtown for five walkable 

blocks brimming with 

boutiques, cafés, and eateries (try Charlie 

Hong Kong for organic, Asian-inspired 

noodle and rice dishes in a funky space); 

or Capitola, the Pacific Coast’s oldest 

seaside town that’s famed for its pastelsplashed 

facades and breezy, 

Mediterranean-esque flair. 

Pint-sized visitors will go gaga at the 

beloved Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, 

which boasts over 40 rides and 

attractions, or one of myriad kid-friendly 

museums, including the Seymour 

Marine Discovery Center where 

visitors can touch a friendly shark and 

dive into a world of ocean exploration; 

while big kids who want to indulge in 

an actual pint can avail of a bevy of 

microbreweries, including the cool-asthey-come 

Humble Sea Brewery. 

Did You Know? 

Santa Cruz is the birthplace of mainland 

surfing. Using boards fashioned from 

redwood planks, three Hawaiian princes 

showed locals how to hang ten in 1885.

Di Beppe 

Fairmont Hotel Vancourver 

IF YOU HAVE FOUR DAYS… 

VANCOUVER 

Is the coast calling? Or maybe the 

mountains? When visiting Vancouver, you 

can experience both. Our neighbor to the 

north is worth introducing yourself to. 

Friendly, easy on the eyes, with a spirited 

food scene, every time’s a good time 

to come to British Columbia’s largest 

metropolis. A direct, two-hour flight on 

Air Canada means you can start exploring 

the bustling seaport city after minimal 

travel time. And don’t worry about renting 

a car; there’s plenty to do in downtown 

proper, and it’s all within walking, biking, or 

rideshare distance. 

CHECK IN Go big or go home. In this case, 

we recommend the former, with a stay at 

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Fresh off a $75 

million dollar facelift, the 

“Castle in the City” has been 

welcoming guests with its 

warm hospitality and 

opulent 

accommodations since 

1939. Book a Fairmont 

Gold Room for access to 

elevated amenities that 

Notch8 Restaurant + Bar 

Vancouver 

include private check-in and entrance to the 

Fairmont Gold Lounge, which boasts a 

breakfast of champions, afternoon scones 

and snacks, evening hors d’oeuvres, and latenight 

sweet treats. 

After experiencing the top-tier afternoon 

tea and decadent dining options at Notch8 

Restaurant + Bar and browsing the lobby’s 

chic shops (like Louis Vuitton, Dior, and 

Omega), you’ll be eager to extend your stay. 

CHECK OUT A long weekend means 

ample time to explore. Start by hopping on 

a mini tugboat ferry to Granville Island 

and follow your nose to the indoor public 

market that’s filled with a surplus of stalls 

selling everything from just-caught 

seafood to fresh-made baked goods, 

including fan favorite Lee’s Donuts (the 

melt-in-your-mouth, hand-cut “honey dip” 

is pastry perfection). 

Stanley Park is another must. 

In addition to the über 

impressive Vancouver 

Aquarium and nine 

towering totem poles, 

the 1,000-acre urban oasis 

also offers visitors scenic 

Minami 

Stanley Park 

views of the sea, skyline, and mountains 

along its 13,123-step “seawall”—the world’s 

longest uninterrupted waterfront path that 

winds around the park’s perimeter. 

When hunger hits, you’re in luck: diverse 

dishes made with sustainable ingredients 

are at the forefront of almost every meal. 

For Japanese food, journey to Minami for 

their flame-seared sushi that’s eaten sans 

soy sauce; if you’re hankering for housemade 

pastas in cozy, eclectic environs, Di 

Beppe—”a young restaurant with an old 

soul”—is a prime pick (plus, it’s sited next to 

Gastown, Vancouver’s oldest, cobblestone 

street-studded neighborhood); and when 

the craving for modern Canadian cuisine in 

a convivial atmosphere comes, Nightingale 

is where it’s at (the buttermilk fried chicken 

with spiced maple syrup, sumac, and pickles 

is worth the trip in itself). 

Did You Know? 

According to the Mercer Quality of Living 

survey, Vancouver is the third most “livable 

place in the world,” along with being one of 

the cleanest and safest.

Mezcalito 

Oaxacan 

Cuisine 

BY LORN RANDALL 

PHOTOS BY MENKA BELGAL 

Sopa Puerto Escondido 


Kahlúa Cake 

Those of us who have 

been fans of Rocklin’s 

Mezcalito knew it 

wouldn’t be long until 

the best little Oaxacan 

restaurant in our area 

expanded. Fortunately 

for Folsomites, you’re about to find out what 

Placer County residents have been trying 

(unsuccessfully) to keep secret. 

Last November, owners Ruben and 

Francisco opened a second, much larger 

location in Folsom. The menu retains many of 

the same dishes diners at the Rocklin locale 

love, with a few more welcome additions 

(including cochinita pibil, pollo a la crema, and 

a prawn picante buritto). 

I started with chips and fresh salsa and then 

fortified my appetizer craving with their queso 

fundido. Soft, gooey, melted Monterey Jack 

cheese with slices of roasted pasilla pepper, 

caramelized onions, and the kicker: chorizo. 

My companion commented (and I was already 

Chicken Chilli Relleno 

sizing it up) how you could put it in a 

tortilla, add an egg, and call it breakfast 

(with a Michelada, too...maybe?). 

Since I’ve previously reviewed 

portions of their menu, I strayed from 

my go-to items and tested the chicken 

chili relleno. I’m not usually a fan of 

things fried in egg batter, but this was a 

pleasant surprise. Lightly battered mild 

pasilla pepper, shredded chicken, and 

some surprise additions of raisins and 

almonds (Oaxacan-style) in a tomato 

broth resulted in a definite upgrade to 

the typical chili-cheese rendition and 

was good enough to make an egg batter 

convert out of me. 

I just happened to be craving a 

savory bowl of soup when I spotted the 

sopa Puerto Escondido heading out 

to another diner’s table. In a matter of 

minutes, I had my own steaming vessel 

of “hidden harbor soup” in front of me 

with all its seaworthy mates—tender 

cod, mussels, wild prawns, salmon, and 

vegetables—in a chipotle-plum, tomatobased 

broth. Slightly spicy and hearty but 

not too heavy—like it’s French or Italian 

cousins can be—it hit the mark. 

Finally came the dessert round, and 

once again, I eschewed my favorites 

(churros and ice cream) and opted for 

something I hadn’t tried before, the 

Kahlúa cake—a decadent, pyramidshaped 

sphere of chocolate ganache 

blanketing a velvety treasure of Kahlúainfused 

mousse with an espresso dulce de 

leche drizzle. “Two forks please,” I said to 

my server, “I can’t do this alone!” 

Well Folsom, the secret’s out—now go 

out and try it for yourself. 

“IN A MATTER 

OF MINUTES, I 

HAD MY OWN 

STEAMING 

VESSEL OF 

‘HIDDEN HARBOR 

SOUP’ IN FRONT 

OF ME WITH ALL 

ITS SEAWORTHY 

MATES—TENDER

Flour Dust Pizza // Pizza is one of the most perfect, mouthwatering meals. But when a chef travels to Italy to learn from 

the finest, then opens a catering service and subsequently a restaurant in Roseville, you know you’re getting the best of the best. Flour 

Dust Pizza makes their delicious pies with imported “OO” flour and San Marzano tomatoes from Italy, which adds to their authenticity 

(and deliciousness). I went with the Terri, which didn’t actually have tomatoes, but didn’t need them either. Smoked salmon, smoked 

Gouda, shaved Parmesan, arugula, oven-charred lemons, roasted leeks, and pesto made this pizza original and very, very good. The 

flavors complemented each other perfectly, and it was a nice variation from your run-of-the-mill pepperoni. My husband went with 

the Kami, featuring spicy feta sauce, fresh mozzarella, house-made Italian sausage, red onion shavings, Parmesan cheese, and a 

drizzle of Calabrian pepper purée. They have several other unique pizzas that all sound scrumptious and also serve a Caesar salad (and 

a spicy variation of it with fried salami crisps!), a shaved apple salad, and a beet salad, as well as hand-pulled mozzarella, made with 

caramelized onions and sweet peppers. No meal is complete without dessert, right? Choose from cannoli, affogato (ice cream, pistachios, 

and a shot of espresso) or the magnificent and impressive s’more calzone. It’s big, as good as it sounds, and definitely shareable. I won’t 

judge you if you don’t share, though. 5080 Foothills Boulevard, Suite 5, Roseville, 916-773-5080, flourdustpizza.com —Julie Ryan

MUST-MAKE Recipes 

COMPILED BY MEGAN WISKUS 

Impress your pals by making one (or all!) of the following recipes that are 

portable, easy to prepare, and best served with sunshine. 

Pasta Salad 

Recipe by Sonya Keister of The Rustic Fork, Folsom, 

therusticfork.com 

• 8 oz. (2 cups) elbow macaroni 

• ½ cup mayonnaise 

• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 

• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard 

• ½ tsp. sea salt 

• 2 cloves garlic, diced 

• 1, 5 oz. package diced pancetta 

• *1 small Fresno pepper, diced 

• 2 tbsp. olive oil 

• 1 cup fava beans** (shelled and 

blanched) or edamame 

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. While cooking, 

whisk the mayonnaise, cheese, mustard, and salt together in 

a large bowl. Once the pasta is cooked to al dente, drain and 

immediately toss with the mayonnaise mixture. (The noodles will 

soak up the mixture better if they’re hot.) 

In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil for 

about 30 seconds. Add the pancetta and cook low and slow until 

crisp and all the fat is rendered. Add in the pepper and garlic, and 

cook for 30-60 seconds. 

Remove from heat and pour mixture, including the oil, over the pasta. 

Fold in the fava beans or edamame and taste for seasoning. Refrigerate 

until ready to serve. Note: Salad can be made up to one day ahead of 

time to let flavors meld. 

*Can be substituted with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. 

**About 1 lb. of fresh fava beans. Remove from their pods then blanch in 

simmering water. Drain, cool, and remove the beans from their shells.

Sun’s out buns out! We mean the doughy kind. Looking for the perfect picnic 

food? Look no further than the simple sandwich—it’s compact AND packed 

LIST with flavor. Take a bite out of some of our favorites below. 

Stellar Sandwiches 

THE 

Hot 

By Tara Mendanha and Tara Harbert // Photos by Dante Fontana 

Sometimes simple is best, especially when dining al 

fresco, which is why our pick of the Chicken Panini 

at Bennett’s Kitchen Bar Market in Roseville makes 

total sense. This dainty sandwich offers a sweet 

and salty medley of tender chicken, apples, Brie, 

and caramelized onions on sourdough bread. The 

flavors are light on the palate and on the stomach— 

leaving you satisfied and ready to take on the day. 

bennettskitchen.com 

You know that Coffee Republic in Folsom is famed 

for their sandwiches, so it comes as no surprise that 

they’re on this list. Their Pesto Turkey Melt is perfect 

for this weather—not too heavy and just indulgent 

enough. Wrapped in their heavenly focaccia bread, 

ample turkey and bacon are paired with tomatoes, red 

onions, Swiss cheese, and a house-made pesto that’s 

par excellence. coffeerepublicfolsom.com 

Who doesn’t love a good Pastrami sandwich? 

It’s packed with one of the yummiest meats and 

is pretty portable. Lucille’s Coffee, Hops & Vine 

in Folsom makes a mean one with plenty of meat 

that’s held together with peppery horseradish, 

white cheddar cheese, pickled onions, and a 

creamy dijonnaise on toasted rye sourdough. 

lucillescoffeehopsvine.com 

Timmy’s Brown Bag Café in Placerville makes their 

food an experience. With a menu that changes 

daily, you never know what you’ll find. What we can 

guarantee are combinations you won’t forget like the 

Cajun Fettuccine Alfredo, featuring a Texas kielbasa 

in alfredo sauce, buttered bay shrimp with fettuccine, 

parmesan crisps, kewpie mayo arugula, and a sweet 

Jamaican Pickapeppa sauce on a ciabatta roll. 

timmysbrownbag.com 

A BLT is always a tried-and-true crowd favorite. 

So when we heard that Farmer’s Delicateessen 

and Bakery in Cameron Park serves it on their 

house-made rosemary focaccia, we had to tell 

you about it. Along with their bread upgrade on 

this traditional sandwich, it’s stacked with fresh 

lettuce and tomato, mayo, and two layers of 

applewood-smoked bacon. This BLT is truly GR8.
