This holiday season, BUY LOCAL, so the money comes back to our community! The holidays are the perfect time for us to band together, to help ourselves and the beautiful, locally owned places where we live. Why not buy your employees, friends, and family members gift cards to local restaurants and stores? Purchases like these not only help with taxes, but they keep our friends and neighbors employed—and positively employed people spend more locally. Of course, there will be items that you may need to go online for; however, did you know that when you buy from Walmart or Target online but pick the order up at your local store, the tax dollars stay here? We’re all in this together, and your buying decisions this holiday season are more important than ever. — Terry & Wendy

Local sales tax makes a huge difference to all of us.<br />
This holiday season, BUY LOCAL, so the money<br />
comes back to our community!<br />
Since mid-March, when we all went into the<br />
COVID-19 period, local businesses have seen a huge<br />
decrease in sales, and while they’re working hard to<br />
maintain their companies, the hidden story is that<br />
with the loss in revenue, and our huge appetite for buying online, local<br />
sales taxes have plummeted, which isn’t good for anyone.<br />
Local sales tax is what our cities<br />
and towns rely on to provide the<br />
services we all expect and take<br />
for granted: police, fire, parks and<br />
recreation, road maintenance,<br />
hiking and biking trails, waste<br />
collection, and more. When taxes<br />
decrease, it affects these services<br />
and more, and this affects each of<br />
us and the way of life we’ve become<br />
accustomed to.<br />
We’re talking about MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars in tax<br />
revenue that our cities are losing. Make no mistake about it, this impacts<br />
each and every one of us, and we need<br />
to take action. What action can we<br />

What’s your<br />
favorite<br />
holiday<br />
movie?<br />
“Christmas Vacation. You can’t<br />
beat the slapstick comedy<br />
delivered by Clark Griswold<br />
and the rest of the family.”<br />
—Gary Zsigo<br />
“The Holiday and Love Actually<br />
always bring the perfect<br />
amount of laughter and a<br />
couple of nostalgic tears to the<br />
holiday season.”<br />
—Kerrie L. Kelly<br />
“I look forward to watching Rudolph<br />
the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty<br />
the Snowman, and all the other<br />
Christmas TV classics every<br />
season. They instantly transport<br />
me to my childhood, and if Burl<br />
Ives singing “Rudolph the Red<br />
Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty<br />
the Snowman,” doesn’t get you in<br />
the Christmas spirit, nothing will.”<br />
—Wendy Sipple<br />
“Though it's a bit dated now,<br />
Home Alone is one of the<br />
funniest movies I’ve ever seen.<br />
I laugh so hard I cry.”<br />
—Reg Holliday<br />
“Tim Burton’s holiday-themed<br />
artwork in The Nightmare<br />
Before Christmas is hard to<br />
beat.”—Dante Fontana<br />
“Die Hard. I know it’s a debatable<br />
choice, but the story’s backdrop<br />
is a Christmas office party; plus,<br />
in my opinion, it has some of<br />
the best action scenes in movie<br />
history.”—Bettie Grijalva<br />

mid-size people hauler that’s the best<br />
looking, best driving, and best finished<br />
vehicle in its class” is just a sneak peak<br />
of what he has to say about it.<br />

GIVING BACK<br />
31 WAYS<br />
TO SPREAD<br />
HOLIDAY CHEER<br />
BY TARA MENDANHA<br />
you’re at it, how about turning your car into<br />
a red-nosed reindeer this year?<br />
5 Channel Santa and donate to a toy<br />
drive. The Folsom Toy Drive is<br />
accepting donations until <strong>December</strong> 4<br />
(folsomtoydrive.com); alternatively, bring a<br />
new, unwrapped toy to Placer Wine Trail’s<br />
Holidays in the Hills event on <strong>December</strong> 5<br />
and 6 (placerwine.com/plan-your-visit/<br />
events/holidays-in-the-hills)—where, in<br />
addition to benefitting Toys for Tots, you’ll<br />
receive discounts on wine, including 10% off<br />
your first bottle at each winery.<br />
Let’s end <strong>2020</strong> on a high note, shall we? We’ve got 31 things—that’s<br />
right, one for each day of <strong>December</strong>—to help spread some muchneeded<br />
holiday cheer. Read, do, repeat!<br />
2<br />
1 Bake cookies (for 5<br />
simple and scrumptious<br />
recipes, turn to page 78)<br />
and gift them to family,<br />
friends, or neighbors. If<br />
you’re not adept at baking,<br />
send them a cookiedecorating<br />
kit from Frank<br />
Vilt’s Cakes (frankviltscakes.<br />
com), instead.<br />
Carry spare change when you go out<br />
in case you bump into the Salvation<br />
Army or someone down on their luck.<br />
3 Corral a bunch of your friends and<br />
family and go caroling in your<br />
neighborhood. We could all use a song or<br />
two.<br />
4 Decorate the inside<br />
and outside of your<br />
home. Check out this<br />
month’s holiday gift<br />
guide (page 51) for some<br />
décor ideas. And while<br />
Holidays in the Hills<br />
6 Volunteer at a homeless shelter<br />
during the coldest and possibly most<br />
difficult time of year to be without a home.<br />
Hart of Folsom (hartoffolsom.org) assists the<br />
homeless during winter months, as does<br />
The Gathering Inn (thegatheringinn.com) in<br />
Roseville, and Only Kindness (onlykindness.<br />
net) in Placerville.<br />
7 Show some appreciation for your<br />
delivery person, teacher, mail carrier,<br />
garbage collector, gardener, or house cleaner<br />
with gift cards to local restaurants,<br />
stationery, hand sanitizer, warm gloves,<br />
holiday sweets, etc.<br />
8 Donate to a food bank. We’ve<br />
profiled many great organizations in<br />
STYLE. Check out stylemg.com for more on<br />
what they do. A simple Google search in<br />
your area should also point you in the right<br />
direction.<br />
9 Greet or compliment a stranger. A<br />
simple “Happy Holidays” or “Merry<br />
Christmas” could make someone’s day. As<br />
could: “I love your face mask!”<br />
10 Phone your parents, grandparents,<br />
aunts, uncles, or long-lost friends that<br />
you haven’t spoken to in a while. And no,<br />
texting doesn’t count.<br />
11 Alternatively, you could snail mail<br />
them holiday cards (with a personal<br />
note) or handwritten letters. Once you’ve<br />
done that, venture out and sign up for a pen<br />
pal at PenPal World (penpalworld.com) or<br />
Snail Mail Penpals (snailmailpenpals.net).<br />
12 Perform random acts of kindness:<br />
put away someone’s shopping cart, hold<br />
the door for someone, pay for the person<br />

GIVING BACK<br />
behind you at the coffee shop…<br />
if the opportunity presents<br />
itself, make the most of it.<br />
13<br />
Tip generously.<br />
14 Donate blood. One pint<br />
of blood can save up to<br />
three lives. Look for your<br />
nearest Vitalant Blood<br />
Donation Center (vitalant.org/<br />
home.aspx) and make an<br />
appointment ASAP.<br />
15 Send a care package to<br />
someone in the military.<br />
Pick up free military care<br />
package kits from the USPS. If<br />
you don’t know a service<br />
member, visit anysoldier.org to<br />
find a name and overseas<br />
mailing address.<br />
16 Send someone flowers.<br />
You could also pick up a<br />
potted plant and drop it off for<br />
someone special. Aside from<br />
the popular poinsettias,<br />
Christmas cactus, orchids, and<br />
even potted rosemary make<br />
great green holiday gifts.<br />
17 Donate money to a<br />
cause you haven’t thought<br />
of donating to before. Whether<br />
it’s history, nature, the arts, or a<br />
specific disease, someone can<br />
definitely use your donation, no<br />
matter the amount.<br />
18 Donate to animal<br />
shelters. It can be old<br />
items like blankets and towels<br />
or tennis balls and other play<br />
things; or even pet food and<br />
cleaning supplies. Money helps,<br />
too!<br />
19 Use your magic words:<br />
“please,” “thank you,”<br />
“excuse me,” “I’m sorry,” and<br />
“you’re welcome.” No matter<br />
how busy or stressed you are<br />
when you’re out and about, a<br />
little courtesy goes a long way.<br />
20 Go plogging on your<br />
next walk, hike or run.<br />
Plogging is the Swedish trend<br />
that combines jogging with<br />
picking up litter along the way.<br />
Carry gloves and trash or poop<br />
bags.<br />
21 Offer to pick up<br />
groceries for a neighbor<br />
or friend. Whether it’s an<br />
elderly neighbor or a mom of<br />
four neck-deep in diapers, you<br />
could help check one thing off<br />
their list.<br />
22 Put away the<br />
electronics for some<br />
quality time with the fam. Talk,<br />
play board games, go for a<br />
walk, watch a holiday movie<br />
sans cell phones, and make<br />
some merry memories.<br />
Donate blood<br />
23 Dress up. Whether<br />
it’s a crazy Christmas<br />
sweater or a holiday<br />
headband, spread some cheer<br />
with your holiday gear.<br />
24 Show first responders<br />
gratitude. Know a<br />
firefighter, nurse, or<br />
paramedic? Gift cards to one<br />
of our many local restaurants<br />
and coffee shops are a great<br />
way to say ‘thank you.’<br />
25 Practice patience.<br />
Whether it’s to withstand<br />
a three-hour plane ride with a<br />
crying baby behind you, or<br />
wait behind someone with an<br />
overloaded cart at checkout, it<br />
doesn’t hurt to be patient. OK,<br />
it might hurt a little, but you<br />
can do it!<br />
26 Have a virtual Secret<br />
Santa with colleagues you<br />
haven’t seen in a while (hello,<br />
work-from-home) or extended<br />
family. Gather names and wish<br />
lists, pick a budget, draw names<br />
using an app like Elfster or<br />
Giftster and pick a date. Mail<br />
gifts out and open them over<br />
video chat.<br />
27 Shop local. You’ll not<br />
only find some unique<br />
gifts but you’ll also contribute<br />
to the community and local<br />
economy. Don’t forget to leave<br />
positive reviews online!<br />
28 Be nice online. Keep<br />
social media comments<br />
polite and friendly. And while<br />
you’re online, share anything<br />
that’s helpful or will put a smile<br />
on someone’s face.<br />
29 Do drive-by greetings for<br />
Christmas, Hannukah, New<br />
Year’s, and everything in between.<br />
Keep chalk markers, poster<br />
boards, and sharpies at the ready.<br />
30 Spread cheer not germs!<br />
Maintain good hygiene, get<br />
your flu shot, get tested for<br />
COVID-19 if you need to, eat<br />
healthy, and exercise (after you’ve<br />
inhaled all that holiday food).<br />
31 Set New Year’s<br />
resolutions. Bonus points<br />
if they involve spreading cheer<br />
throughout 2021!<br />

Local G allery Roundup<br />
by EMILY PETER-COREY<br />
Local art is imperative to building a diverse and cultured community, and now<br />
more than ever galleries need your support. We spoke with several to see how<br />
they’ve pivoted amid the pandemic and reimagined how art can be shared.<br />
Blue Line Arts<br />
Harvest Shindig by Martha Jones<br />
Art League of Lincoln’s Art Center<br />
Located in the heart of Downtown<br />
Roseville, Blue Line Arts has been<br />
around since 1966 and through name and<br />
location changes their original vision has<br />
held true: to support the arts. In addition<br />
to showcasing various artists’ works, Blue<br />
Line Arts offers youth and adult programs<br />
and is home to the Roseville Mural Project.<br />
Currently, the gallery accepts reservations<br />
for both self-guided and docent-guided<br />
tours, as long as the group is 10 or less.<br />
Masks and social distancing are required.<br />
405 Vernon Street, Suite 100, Roseville, 916-<br />
783-4117, bluelinearts.org, @bluelinearts<br />
Though shut down for a time, the<br />
Gallery at 48 Natoma has reopened<br />
with welcome arms. Free, self-guided<br />
tours on a variety of days are being<br />
offered for individuals and groups<br />
of up to 10 people, but a reservation<br />
is required. “The gallery is following<br />
current public health guidelines; all<br />
visitors and staff are required to wear a<br />
face covering while inside the building<br />
and maintain social distancing at all<br />
times,” shares Director Cindy Abraham.<br />
The current exhibit running through<br />
January 14, 2021, is Tea Time, which<br />
showcases tea-themed oil paintings,<br />
mosaics, and a selection of teapots. 48<br />

The Art League of Lincoln’s Art<br />
Center is currently open Wednesday<br />
through Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.<br />
after being closed from March through<br />
September. This month’s exhibit, Seasons<br />
Imagined, runs through <strong>December</strong> 19,<br />
and 2021 programs include high-level art<br />
classes, full shows, their annual Clay Day<br />
event, and more. Treasurer and Operations<br />
Manager, Dotti May, shares a few ways<br />
you can support the center, including<br />
“buying artwork at the gift shop or ‘Online<br />
Gallery Store,’ visiting, and becoming a<br />
member of the Art League of Lincoln.”<br />
Current safety precautions include taking<br />
temperatures upon entering, requiring<br />
masks, and limiting the number of guests.<br />

Auburn Old Town Gallery may<br />
have to cancel events for now, but they’ve<br />
worked hard to safely reopen six days<br />
a week. “Supporting local businesses<br />
is critical to overcoming the financial<br />
impacts caused by the pandemic.<br />
Shopping for unique gifts created by<br />
local artists at our gallery helps us keep<br />
the doors open. Wearing masks and<br />
adhering to the safety protocol set in<br />
place by the CDC helps ensure the safe<br />
reopening of all businesses,” explains<br />
Publicity Chair Susan Stoll. In addition<br />
to featuring fine art and unique gifts,<br />
the gallery also includes a feature wall<br />
showcasing various themes throughout<br />
the year (this month’s is “Gifts for the<br />
Season” and features art under $50).<br />
They’ve also launched an online shop<br />
(aotgshop.com) full of work in various<br />
mediums. 218 Washington Street, Auburn,<br />

7 Tips for<br />
a Stress-<br />
Free<br />
Season<br />
BY KOURTNEY JASON<br />
Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is right around the corner.<br />
While it’s a joyful time of year, it’s also stressful, as we try to<br />
make time for family and friends, find the perfect present,<br />
and be present in each moment. We turned to local experts<br />
to explain why the holidays can feel overwhelming, as well<br />
as share tips on how to manage stress during the most<br />
wonderful time of the year.<br />
Gretta Smith, yoga teacher and owner of Ohana Moon Yoga, says the<br />
holidays tend to be a stressful time because we defy the natural rhythms<br />
of nature. “Winter is a season of hibernation with fewer hours of sunlight<br />
and more hours of night, which should be devoted to more sleep,” she says.<br />
“People fight these primal instincts with caffeine and overstimulation,<br />
including overeating, overspending, and overexerting. A lack of sleep plus overstimulation<br />
equals stress.”<br />
A lot of the pressures we feel around the holidays stem from our own<br />
internal expectations. “We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to do it all,” says<br />
Joy Arnold, a 500 E-RYT yoga teacher, reiki master, and holistic health coach.<br />
“We need to let go of the image we have in our heads of what the ‘perfect’<br />
holiday is and what we ‘should’ be doing during this time. Instead, we need<br />
to allow ourselves to be in the moment and enjoy the true meaning of the<br />
holidays: spending time with those you love and appreciating all we have.”<br />
Here are seven suggestions on ways to minimize holiday stress and put the<br />
focus back on feeling grateful and enjoying each moment.<br />

WORK IT OUT<br />
“Stress starts in the mind; however, we<br />
feel it everywhere,” Smith says. “Yoga is a<br />
practice that helps connect mind, body, and<br />
spirit. When we go into active and passive<br />
yoga poses to feel sensation in the body with<br />
conscious breath, we’re able to quiet the<br />
busy, loud, anxious mind and relieve stress.<br />
As we close out an especially stressful year, I<br />
recommend practicing yin or gentle yoga to<br />
help ground your nervous system and calm<br />
your mind. The combination of stillness and<br />
slow, mindful breathing helps relieve physical,<br />
mental, and emotional tension.”<br />
Amitis Pourarian, owner of THE STUDIO<br />
Martial Arts & Fitness, says exercise is a huge<br />
stress reducer, as it provides a break from<br />
having to deal with issues and an outlet for<br />
stress. “What’s more, there are endorphins<br />
released in the brain as a by-product of exercise,<br />
which uplift our mood and our sense of wellbeing,”<br />
she shares.<br />
2<br />
MAKE A BUDGET<br />
“Make a budget and stay within it,”<br />
Arnold recommends. “No one enjoys giving or<br />
can relish the holiday season when they know<br />
they’ve overspent and will have to face it come<br />
January. The gift of giving is not about a dollar<br />
amount; it’s the intention and energy behind<br />
what we give.” Homemade presents never<br />
go out of style. Who wouldn’t be grateful to<br />
open a framed family picture, recipe book<br />
filled with time-tested dishes, or a calendar of<br />
birthdays with photos?<br />
3<br />
GIVE BACK<br />
“Take time for yourself during the<br />
holidays to break off and do things that<br />
ground you and bring you joy,” Pourarian says.<br />
“Creating space to be of service to others who<br />
are less fortunate is a great stress reliever.”<br />
Turn to page 22 for a list of ways you can be of<br />
service this season.<br />
4<br />
CHOOSE AN INTENTION<br />
“Take some quiet time to choose a word<br />
or sentence for the holiday experience you<br />
want and let it drive your commitment to a<br />
stress-free holiday,” suggests Jenifer Novak<br />
Landers, a professional certified coach at<br />
Fully Expressed Potential. “For example, my<br />
word is ‘resilience.’ I visualize myself in ease<br />
and joy, being fully present to the magic of<br />
every single holiday moment. When things get<br />
messy or off track, (because they WILL!) I can<br />
return to my word, resilience, and remember<br />
to allow myself to practice it, rather than<br />
pushing on my stress or fear, which only<br />
makes it worse.”<br />
5<br />
JUST BREATHE<br />
“When we’re stressed, our breath tends<br />
to be shallow, erratic, and in the chest. This<br />
actually causes the body to release more<br />
stressor hormones, ultimately causing us to<br />
be more stressed,” Arnold says. “No matter<br />
where you are, try this. Close your eyes, sit up<br />
tall, relax your shoulders, take a deep breath<br />
in through your nose and sigh it out your<br />
mouth, emptying your lungs completely. Now,<br />
bring awareness to the belly, begin to sip the<br />
air in through your nose to a count of five,<br />
pause the breath, then exhale through the<br />
nose slowly to a count of five.”<br />
6<br />
REFRAME & RESET<br />
“Being aware of what thoughts or stories<br />
you’re telling yourself about the holidays<br />
will give you the option to choose a different<br />
thought—or to at least think yourself into<br />
a neutral place,” Novak Landers says. “You<br />
can shift how you feel by choosing thoughts<br />
that are more positive. In your mind, change<br />
an anxious story into a relaxed one. When<br />
the feeling of stress creeps in, ask yourself:<br />
‘What do I need right now to feel loving about<br />
myself?’ Or, ‘How can I be loving to ME right<br />
now?’ And then do it. You’ll notice a big shift in<br />
your energy. For example, old thought: I won’t<br />
have time or energy for everything I want to<br />
do. New thought: Even though my time is short,<br />
I’m excited to be fully present with all I can do.<br />
This is also a great opportunity to schedule<br />
follow up time with people in 2021.” As you<br />
navigate the extra stresses of COVID-19 during<br />
the holidays, remember this. “Even though<br />
the negativity of surrounding the pandemic<br />
completely changes this year's holiday season,<br />
choose to look for love in the smallest, simplest<br />
things, especially within yourself. Love is<br />
something you can focus on.”<br />
7<br />
TAKE TIME FOR YOU<br />
“It can be 10 minutes in the morning, 10<br />
minutes at night, or both! Better yet, make it<br />
30 minutes,” Arnold says. “What you do during<br />
this time is your choice, so long as it helps<br />
you to feel at ease, calm, and grounded. Maybe<br />
you go for a run, jump on your yoga mat, or<br />
sip a cup of coffee outside and just be. The<br />
important thing is that you take the time to<br />
nourish and recharge yourself. Then, you’ll<br />
have the energy and stamina to be present for<br />
family, friends, and all the hustle and bustle of<br />
the season.”<br />

Take a Hike<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ<br />
WHERE THE WILD<br />
THINGS ARE:<br />
5 WAYS TO MAKE<br />
A POSITIVE<br />
ENVIRONMENTAL<br />
IMPACT<br />
1. Pack an extra bag for<br />
litter. You should already be<br />
properly storing your own<br />
trash when out on the trail,<br />
but picking up a can or protein<br />
bar wrapper makes a huge<br />
difference over time.<br />
2. Always use reusable<br />
water bottles. Bring a water<br />
filter if needed.<br />
3. If camping, camp away<br />
from water sources<br />
like lakes and streams to<br />
help reduce the influx of<br />
contaminants.<br />
4. Use established trails<br />
and camp spots to minimize<br />
your impact to fragile<br />
ecosystems.<br />
Confluence +<br />
Clementine Loop Trail<br />
5. Never use open flames in<br />
non-designated areas. One<br />
misstep can destroy hundreds<br />
of thousands of acres of<br />
natural areas. Research the<br />
area you’re visiting to make<br />
sure you know the rules and<br />
regulations before you enter<br />
the wilderness.<br />
Located In: Auburn.<br />
Distance: 6.4-miles.<br />
Difficulty Level: Moderate.<br />
Know Before You Go: Arrive<br />
early for parking ($10 at ranger<br />
station). This area gets crowded on<br />
weekends, so expect to see lots of<br />
people in certain sections. A part<br />
of the trail borders the road.<br />
Fuel Up: Hit up Royal<br />
Indian Cuisine<br />
(cuisineroyalindian.<br />
wixsite.com/mysite)<br />
in Downtown Auburn<br />
for a flavor-packed,<br />
post-workout meal in<br />
casual, cozy environs.<br />
The authentic, freshmade<br />
fare (including ample<br />
vegetarian options) serves as the<br />
perfect winter warmer.<br />
Why We Love It: This hike<br />
offers amazing views of the<br />
American River, Clementine Dam,<br />
and California’s tallest bridge: the<br />
Foresthill Bridge, which stands<br />
at a stately 730 feet. It’s scenic,<br />
moderately long, and great for<br />
wintertime when temperatures<br />
dip down.<br />
Trail Notes: Bring plenty of water<br />
and wear shoes with traction.<br />
Please, practice Leave No Trace<br />
ethics and protect our spaces.<br />

SPECIAL AD SECTION
DID YOU KNOW<br />
Tips to Improve<br />
Your Emergency<br />
Department Visit<br />
Atrip to the emergency<br />
department can be<br />
stressful, whether<br />
you’re there<br />
for yourself or<br />
accompanying a loved one. There’s a<br />
stigma of long wait times associated<br />
with ERs and it’s understandable<br />
to want to get in and out as fast as<br />
possible. With this in mind, the<br />
Marshall Medical Center Emergency<br />
Department staff has a few tips to help<br />
you through the process.<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
• Arrive with your insurance card,<br />
medical history, list of medications,<br />
allergies and names of doctors who’ve<br />
provided you care in the past. If<br />
possible, provide a list and timeline<br />
of your symptoms to help the staff<br />
understand what brought you to the<br />
point of needing emergency care. Your<br />
health history is the most significant<br />
tool the staff has to help make the<br />
most accurate diagnosis.<br />
• Bring a health partner with you.<br />
A health partner can help give the<br />
medical history if you’re too ill, take<br />
notes, ask questions and help you<br />
follow discharge instructions. They<br />
can also be your ride home.<br />
• Use any wait time to make phone<br />
calls to coordinate a ride home if<br />
you’ll need one, ask a friend to care<br />
for pets or pick up children from<br />
school or day care and let your<br />
doctor’s office know you’re in the<br />
emergency department.<br />
• It’s easy to let healthcare<br />
professionals drive the conversation,<br />
especially in such a tense, busy<br />
environment. But make sure you<br />
speak up and advocate for yourself—<br />
tell the doctor or nurse everything—<br />
even if it’s embarrassing—and make<br />
sure to ask all your questions before<br />
they discharge you.<br />
• Before you use the restroom, ask<br />
the staff if they think they’ll need a<br />
urine sample. This simple step could<br />
save you time and several bottles of<br />
water later in your visit.<br />
• When you’re discharged, ask for copies<br />
of any tests or results so you can share<br />
with your primary care provider.<br />
• Do not leave until you fully<br />
understand any test results, diagnoses<br />
and discharge instructions.<br />
The amount of time you spend waiting<br />
in the Emergency Department will vary<br />
based on what you’re there for, how<br />
many other patients are there and the<br />
severity of the cases. Those with risks<br />
to life or limb are attended to first. Rest<br />
assured the doctors, nurses and support<br />
staff are doing everything they can to<br />
move things along quickly.<br />

Up In Smoke:<br />
How Smoking or Vaping<br />
Impacts Your Risk of COVID-19<br />
The dangers of smoking and vaping are<br />
well documented. But how, specifically, do<br />
these habits change your risk of contracting<br />
COVID-19? And if you do become ill, how<br />
will your experience differ from that of a<br />
non-smoker or non-vaper? Ravi Chopra, MD,<br />
of Marshall Pulmonology has answers to<br />
common questions.<br />
Q: If I smoke or vape, am I more likely to catch<br />
COVID-19?<br />
A: Not surprisingly, studies have shown that<br />
those who smoke or vape are at a higher risk for<br />
catching COVID-19. In fact, people who vape are<br />
five to seven times more likely to catch it than<br />
those who don’t smoke or vape. This higher risk<br />
is due to an increased number of receptors in the<br />
lungs where the virus attaches, which happens<br />
when lung tissue is exposed to nicotine.<br />
Q: If I do come down with COVID-19, will it be<br />
worse for me than for a person who doesn’t<br />
smoke or vape?<br />
A: Once a person who smokes or vapes contracts<br />
COVID-19, the respiratory symptoms will be more<br />
severe and the damage to the lungs greater than<br />
in non-smokers. They’ll have more complications<br />
and will take longer to recover. Lung tissue is<br />
very fragile; membranes are thin enough for<br />
oxygen molecules to pass through into the blood<br />
stream. Some of the symptoms of COVID-19<br />
can cause scarring in the lungs, which is worse<br />
for those who smoke or vape. This scarring<br />
can cause coughing, shortness of breath and<br />
reduce oxygenation of the blood, requiring the<br />
use of supplemental oxygen. While some of this<br />
scarring will heal over time, for some the need for<br />
supplemental oxygen could be lifelong.<br />
Q: Since I’ve already done the damage to my<br />
lungs, will quitting now provide any benefits?<br />
A: If you smoke or vape, you may think the<br />
damage has already been done and there’s<br />
no use quitting now. But with every cigarette<br />
smoked, the cycle of inflammation in the lungs<br />
restarts. It’s never too late to quit smoking or<br />
vaping and see the immediate and long term<br />
health benefits it brings.<br />
If you need help to quit smoking or vaping,<br />
there are lots of free resources online. Over-thecounter<br />
aids such as nicotine gums, lozenges<br />
and patches will ease the cravings as you try<br />
to change your habits. You can also make<br />
an appointment with a Marshall primary care<br />
provider, who can prescribe medications to help<br />
you quit. To find a doctor, visit marshallmedical.<br />

COVER STORY<br />
Taking It to<br />
the Streets:<br />
How Marshall<br />
is Working with<br />
Vulnerable<br />
Populations<br />
It’s Tuesday afternoon at Upper Room<br />
Dining Hall in Placerville. Jim, a local<br />
man who is currently without a home<br />
or shelter, has come for a hot meal<br />
before he faces a night out in the<br />
cold. What’s different about this visit is that<br />
Shaunda Crane, RN, from Marshall Medical<br />
Center is there. Shaunda helps clients in the<br />
Upper Room with wound care assistance,<br />
a common condition for many homeless.<br />
Jim has an infected wound and appreciates<br />
instruction on how to care for himself. During<br />
their conversation, Jim is able to open up<br />
about some of his other health concerns.<br />
He’s also diabetic and is having trouble<br />
controlling his blood sugar on the street,<br />
which lands him in the ER on occasion for<br />
treatment. Shaunda is able to help him with<br />
this before he takes his dinner to go. She<br />
hopes to see him next week to check in with<br />

who meet certain requirements are<br />
provided with temporary housing at a<br />
motel in Pollock Pines. Phase three is<br />
where people work on obtaining basic<br />
necessities in order to find a permanent<br />
home and employment, such as a<br />
driver’s license, social security card, food<br />
stamps, and a cell phone.<br />
The program is goal-oriented, with each<br />
person provided a check list or care plan<br />
form to keep track of their tasks and to<br />
know what comes next. The program<br />
also teaches life skills in addition to<br />
addressing health issues that may<br />
be thwarting the ability to obtain safe,<br />
stable housing. It’s been so successful<br />
that other California counties look to El<br />
Dorado County as an example for their<br />
own programs.<br />
him and to talk to him about his goals<br />
for obtaining permanent or temporary<br />
housing.<br />
This weekly check in at Upper Room is<br />
how Marshall’s Care Coordination for<br />
Vulnerable Populations program started.<br />
Conversations open up opportunities<br />
to discuss health issues and other<br />
challenges. Working closely with El<br />
Dorado County’s Homeless Outreach<br />
Team (HOT) and other assistance<br />
organizations, Shaunda expanded<br />
outreach efforts to include HOT’s<br />
Trailer Days, where people can get<br />
haircuts, laundry services, food, clothes<br />
and more, as well as regular check<br />
ins throughout the county to provide<br />
medical support. It encompasses<br />
many vulnerable populations, including<br />
unsheltered, elderly, at-risk women and<br />
the Latino community.<br />
When the pandemic hit, Martin Entwistle,<br />
Executive Director of Population Health<br />
at Marshall, saw a need to help find<br />
services for the county’s most vulnerable.<br />
The effort dovetailed with Governor<br />
Gavin Newsom’s Project Roomkey, an<br />
executive order mandating California<br />
Health and Human Services Agency<br />
and Office of Emergency Services to<br />
make hotels available as temporary<br />
residences to quarantine and treat<br />
individuals who have tested positive for<br />
COVID-19. Many local organizations and<br />
agencies, including Health and Human<br />
Services, the El Dorado County Sheriff<br />
and Placerville Police Departments,<br />
the Public Health Department, and<br />
Community Health Center, as well as<br />
Snowline Hospice, Barton Hospital,<br />
Veteran’s Services and more are working<br />
together to coordinate the Navigation<br />
Program, a three- phased program to<br />
help address the needs of the homeless<br />
community. Phase one of the program<br />
is to address acute, immediate medical<br />
needs including wound care, mental<br />
health and addiction, blood sugar and<br />
blood pressure management. Phase two<br />
is Project Roomkey, where individuals<br />
In a related effort, Marshall has<br />
established the Multi-Visit Patient<br />
(MVP) Program to address utilization<br />
of health services in areas such as the<br />
Emergency Department (ED). This is<br />
a prime example of health services<br />
that are misused and over-used by the<br />
unsheltered, who tend to use the ED<br />
for primary care. Due to the stigma that<br />
surrounds homelessness, many are<br />
hesitant to visit a primary care provider<br />
out of fear of judgement so they wait<br />
until they’re very sick and end up in the<br />
ED. The goal of the MVP Program is to<br />
treat chronic health problems so they are<br />
more manageable and reduce some of<br />
the burden on the ED.<br />
These are examples of the programs<br />
Marshall is taking part into assist and<br />
improve the health and wellbeing of the<br />
vulnerable. Marshall has a long tradition<br />
of collaborating with the community.<br />
Creating a culture of partnership with<br />
organizations has earned Marshall<br />
national recognition for civic leadership<br />
in addition to patient outcomes and<br />
value of care.<br />

Donations Made<br />
Virtual Visits a Reality<br />
said Maia Schneider, Executive Director<br />
of Business Development for Marshall<br />
Medical Center.<br />
Although the initial surge of COVID-19<br />
did not lead to the patient volume<br />
Marshall Medical Center was prepared<br />
for, they continue to watch the current<br />
viral spread with caution, and Marshall<br />
Foundation for Community Health<br />
remains at the ready to help where<br />

The COVID-19 pandemic<br />
has changed our lives.<br />
How we shop, attend<br />
school, and how we visit<br />
the doctor are all different<br />
than they were just months ago.<br />
Prior to this crisis, Marshall had already<br />
been researching the possibility of<br />
virtual visits, but suddenly the need<br />
was urgent, Marshall Foundation for<br />
Community Health jumped into action.<br />
The COVID-19 Emergency Response<br />
Fund was created in March <strong>2020</strong>, and<br />
the community came through with<br />
donations. Within weeks, more than<br />
$64,000 was raised to support the<br />
impact of the virus on local healthcare<br />
needs. At the top of the list of needs<br />
was the ability for providers to care for<br />
patients virtually, allowing for patient<br />
appointments from the safety of home.<br />
Thanks to many generous donors,<br />
Marshall Foundation for Community<br />
Health was able to procure 70 iPads<br />
for physician use, making telehealth<br />
for Marshall possible in a few short<br />
weeks. “Since the deployment of the<br />
iPads, telehealth has been widely<br />
accepted and embraced by patients.<br />
Virtual visits are vital to ensuring that<br />
our patients, especially those with<br />
chronic or acute issues, are treated in<br />
a timely manner. ICU patients are also<br />
able to communicate with their families,<br />
alleviating their anxiety and isolation,”<br />

announce the James Whipple<br />

Screening by<br />
the Numbers<br />
It’s easy these days to let routine<br />
healthcare lapse. Especially during<br />
these times, it’s important to keep up<br />
with your regular health screenings.<br />
Regular screenings lead to earlier<br />
detection of medical issues including<br />
certain types of cancer as well as chronic<br />
health issues like diabetes and heart<br />
conditions. Earlier detection in turn<br />
results in to better outcomes and easier<br />
disease management. Many screenings<br />
are age specific. Here’s a guide to help<br />
you determine what annual screenings<br />
you’ll need and when.<br />
Beginning at Ages 18 – 39<br />
• Cholesterol – a cholesterol check<br />
should be completed in your<br />
twenties and then every five to<br />
ten years once you turn 35.<br />
• For women – a pap smear every<br />
three years starting at age 21<br />
Beginning at Ages 40 – 64<br />
• Fasting blood sugar levels – to<br />
check for signs of diabetes if<br />
you’re obese<br />
• Colonoscopy – at age 50 and every<br />
three to ten years thereafter<br />
• For women – mammograms every<br />
other year starting at age 40 - 50<br />
(earlier if you have a family history<br />
of breast cancer)<br />
• For men – annual prostate<br />
screenings beginning at age 50<br />
(earlier if you are high-risk) if you<br />
choose<br />
Age 65 and older<br />
• Bone density study – starting at<br />
age 65 every two to five years, or<br />
age 60 if you’re high-risk<br />
• Pneumococcal and shingles<br />
vaccines<br />
• Height and weight – shrinking<br />
could be a sign of osteoporosis<br />
Many of these and other screenings<br />
can be done during your annual<br />
physical with a Marshall doctor. During<br />
this visit, your doctor will also likely<br />
order routine blood work to screen<br />
for other common issues like vitamin<br />
deficiencies and cancer markers. To<br />
make an appointment with a Marshall<br />
doctor at any of our five convenient<br />
locations throughout El Dorado<br />
County, call 530-622-1441 or visit<br />

This pandemic has gone on longer<br />
than any of us could have guessed it<br />
would. We seem to have settled into<br />
this new normal of wearing a mask<br />
everywhere, not shaking hands<br />
when we meet someone new, and<br />
social distancing. Another aspect<br />
of this new normal is distance learning for our kids. It<br />
appears that the days of limiting screen time are long<br />
gone now that the majority of the school day is spent in<br />
front of a screen.<br />
Keeping kids physically active is just as important a<br />
component of their school day as math and reading.<br />
Some might go for a family walk with the dog each<br />
morning, or maybe the kids kick the soccer ball around<br />
the yard for a bit before dinner. If you’re out of ideas for<br />
being active, here are a few ideas to get you out of that rut:<br />
“On the weekends, we like to hike and look for critters.<br />
When we can’t get to a hiking location, the kids take their<br />
magnifying glass to the trees and yard to look for bugs.”<br />
—Ashley<br />
“Swimming, hide and seek, scavenger hunts, random fitness<br />
challenges (do twenty jumping jacks in thirty seconds!)”<br />
—Erin G.<br />
“We have laundry sorting parties, where I take my monster<br />
pile of clean laundry, have the boys stand by a basket in the<br />
living room, and throw their clothes to them. They try to<br />
catch someone else’s clothes and keep their own in their own<br />
basket.” —Vicki<br />
“I pour out our bin of colorful plastic play balls and the girls<br />
surf across the floor on boogey boards. Then they clean it all<br />
up in exchange for a small chocolatey treat.” —Kathy<br />
Whatever your kids are doing to stay active, try joining them.<br />
After all, it’s important for adults to stay active too.<br />

Q: WHAT ROLE DOES MENTAL<br />
HEALTH PLAY WHEN STARTING A<br />
WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY?<br />
A: It’s not breaking news that many<br />
people start and stop weight loss<br />
programs or exercise routines over and<br />
over throughout their lifetime. Does<br />
this mean they were never successful<br />
or couldn’t stay focused? Of course not.<br />
Did life get in the way and health goals<br />
get put on the back burner? Most likely.<br />
Perhaps it’s time for a mental health<br />
check. I teach our patients, “What gets<br />
measured, gets managed.” In other<br />
words, write down the negative obstacles<br />
keeping you from your goals, how you<br />
can overcome them, and what positive<br />
changes you can make to start your<br />
journey right and be successful. Consider<br />
things such as setting reasonable goals,<br />
time-management, and not being so<br />
hard on yourself. Continue measuring<br />
your successes and setbacks throughout<br />
your journey. Focus on what a wonderful<br />
journey it will be, which is the true<br />
healing, both mentally and physically.<br />
Stay strong, keep writing, and be patient<br />
with yourself.<br />

curated gift box. Gift recipients will go gaga<br />
over the six cleverly curated, mouthwatering<br />

dessert most people love<br />
to eat but loathe to make.<br />
Thanks to this kit, you can have deep-fried<br />
happiness on demand. Simply reheat the 13,<br />
pre-made, chilled churros; fill them with your<br />
flavor of choice (options include dulce de<br />
leche, Nutella, sweet cream, and raspberry);<br />
and chow down.<br />

16 YEARS IN A ROW!<br />
Visconti’s is a family owned full service<br />
restaurant in Folsom where we do our<br />
best to make you feel at home each time<br />

generations of our family in Southern Italy, from<br />
the regions of Calabria and Sicily. We are proud to<br />
use only the freshest ingredients, imported meat,<br />
cheese and wine. When you dine with our family<br />
you feel at home where the flavors are savory, the<br />
atmosphere is filled with love, and the ambiance is<br />
old world traditional Italian life.<br />
If you are wondering where to eat, we welcome<br />
parties of any size no matter what the occasion!<br />
We are a family friendly restaurant that is a perfect<br />
place to celebrate anniversaries, weddings, and<br />
birthdays. We can also host business meetings and<br />
private parties. Open Tuesday through Saturday for<br />
lunch and dinner, and Sundays for dinner only. We<br />
are so proud of our rich traditions and history and<br />
that pride goes into every dish we serve.<br />
Thanks also for making Visconti’s Restaurant<br />

Virtual Learning Done Right<br />
by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID<br />
LET THE SUN SHINE IN<br />
According to the CDC, children ages 3-17<br />
need at least 60 minutes of physical activity<br />
per day. Ask your kids what they liked to<br />
do in school and try to reinvent the time at<br />
home, whether it’s doing an exercise video<br />
together outside or with their friends via<br />
Zoom, or going on a family bike ride or hike.<br />
Recently my nephew went back to school, but only two<br />
days a week, so plans needed to be made for the remaining<br />
three days. One of my clients has three kids at home with<br />
remote learning as the only option. With so much time<br />
spent at home and inside, it’s more important now than<br />
ever for kids to get movement and natural light as much as<br />
possible. And why not? We live in California where we can<br />
enjoy the outdoors 90% of the time. Outdoor learning offers<br />
stimulating experiences and opportunities to connect with<br />
nature. To inspire parents and kids, especially after months<br />
on lockdown, we rounded up a few tips on how to introduce<br />
outdoor learning to your kids at home.<br />
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS<br />
When wintry weather beckons little<br />
learners inside, it’s imperative to keep them<br />
motivated by creating a space that’s light,<br />
bright, organized, and inviting. Our learnfrom-home<br />
must-haves?<br />
• An ergonomic chair that will keep<br />
kids productive for hours<br />
• Natural light and fresh air coming<br />
through a window<br />
• Layered lighting for great Zoom calls<br />
• Personal items to inspire throughout<br />
the day<br />
• Plenty of storage to tuck everything<br />
away in an organized fashion each<br />
night<br />
• A perfect playlist that’ll add<br />
background inspiration<br />
OUTDOOR ED<br />
Consider bringing a few “classes” outside,<br />
not only to get some natural light but also<br />
to provide a change of scenery and help<br />

| home & garden |<br />
motivate the kids. Whether it’s the front<br />
porch, back patio, or side yard, it will be<br />
a welcome environment for enhanced<br />
learning opportunities. Have the whole<br />
family choose fun, alfresco furniture<br />
they can’t wait to sit on and accessorize<br />
with outdoor throws and pillows. Class is<br />
now in session—outside.<br />
KEEP IT FUN & CREATIVE<br />
Stock up on arts and crafts that might<br />
be too messy for inside, from outdoor<br />
painting and chalk art, to tie-dying or leaf<br />
painting. If you feel low on inspiration,<br />
Pinterest has plenty of ideas when it<br />
comes to pumping up the creative.<br />
PARK IT<br />
Our local parks offer plenty of space to<br />
socially distance while taking in a whole<br />
new view. Take an hour break and go<br />
for a walk with the kids to the park for a<br />
picnic and/or meditative moment. Bring<br />
a blanket, yoga mats, and basket full of<br />
snacks to allow your kids some exercise<br />
and time to reset. Even though the jungle<br />
gym might be off limits, they can play<br />
fetch with Rover and run around the<br />
grassy areas to burn off some steam<br />
before heading back to their studies.<br />
With parents looking to keep kids active<br />
and entertained, new traditions have<br />
started to take shape that offer families<br />
a way to spend more time together—<br />
and the backyard is center stage, with<br />
nearly one-third of moms ranking time<br />
outdoors as a top new tradition for their<br />
family. How will you bring in the fresh<br />
air and these fresh ideas to your at-home<br />
classroom?<br />

105 Noshery<br />
PHOTOS<br />
BY LORN RANDALL<br />
BY DANTE FONTANA<br />
“THE APTLY NAMED ‘CEDAR<br />
PLANK SALMON, WITH THE<br />
FEAR OF BECOMING BORING,<br />
THE FLAVORS CHANGE<br />
WEEKLY’ WAS LITERALLY<br />
A MOUTHFUL—ONE OF<br />
THE BEST (AND BIGGEST)<br />
SALMON DISHES I’VE HAD IN<br />
RECENT MEMORY.”<br />
Cedar Plank Salmon<br />
Randy Peters came home late one night a year or so ago. Lisa, his wife<br />
and business partner, somewhat dismayed, asked him where he had<br />
been. Before he could volunteer his excuse, Lisa fired back at him.<br />
“You’ve been driving up and down Vernon Street looking for a vacancy<br />
again, haven’t you?”<br />
And so it is for the restauranteurs/caterers—not out carousing<br />
after hours but searching for the perfect location to open their newest<br />
endeavor: 105 Noshery. And find it they did, not so coincidentally, at 105 Vernon Street where<br />
the Peters and their crew are bringing locally sourced food and beverages—alongside a<br />
wealth of expertise—to the region.<br />
I arrived a few minutes early for my 7 p.m. reservation and was seated at the bar. Indoor<br />

New York Steak<br />
Garlic Shrimp<br />
Better Than Brittle Mud Pie<br />
seating was at a premium, especially during opening week and with<br />
occupancy limitations, but I’m always comfortable sitting at a bar—<br />
especially one that has over a dozen local beers on tap, an impressive<br />
cocktail menu, and a well-thought-out wine list.<br />
To start, I ordered the cast iron skillet-seared garlic shrimp,<br />
featuring crumb-coated prawns bathed in a buttery broth. Dunking<br />
the accompanying toast in said sauce made the appetizer even more<br />
enjoyable.<br />
Next up was the 16-ounce bone-in New York steak. Cooked perfectly<br />
medium-rare—as were all of the proteins I sampled in three visits—<br />
alongside Brussels sprouts sautéed with bourbon and bacon, the entrée<br />
could’ve benefited from a bit of pan sauce, but the lardons combined<br />
with the sprouts still made the dish a standout.<br />
Save the best for last? Yes, definitely. The aptly named “Cedar Plank<br />
Salmon, with the Fear of Becoming Boring, the Flavors Change Weekly”<br />
was literally a mouthful—one of the best (and biggest) salmon dishes<br />
I’ve had in recent memory. On this visit, the “weekly flavor” was lemon,<br />
butter, and garlic. The chef, once again, executed the medium-rare<br />
preparation to perfection. Paired with sautéed garlic spinach (I added a<br />
squeeze of lemon) made for a winning combination.<br />
105 Noshery is a welcome addition to the Vernon Street dining scene,<br />
which has gained momentum over the past few years, and is a great<br />
place to gather with friends morning (they also serve breakfast!), noon,<br />
or night.<br />

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters // Strange name for a coffee shop, right, Chocolate Fish?<br />
Here’s the explanation. “A chocolate fish is a fish-shaped confection indigenous to New Zealand given out as a ‘thank<br />
you’ for a good deed.” The upshot of the unique name is that the owners, Edie and Andy Baker—who relocated here<br />
from New Zealand over a decade ago—brought the Kiwi culture with them in their brewing style and philosophy. After<br />
scanning the beverage menu—which includes down under favorites like a perfectly poured flat white and “fluffy”—I<br />
ordered my standard Mocha (coffee purists, please don’t hate), which was to my standards—not too sweet with full<br />
java flavor. And, of particular importance to many, it had the requisite presentation of latte art. Since I arrived during<br />
weekend lunch hour, the pastry case had already been pillaged, so I moved my attention to the menu board and had<br />
a eureka moment: Smashed Avo Toast with extra virgin olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper, and “the works” (thinly<br />
sliced radish, micro basil, and dukkah (an Egyptian spice blend of nuts, cumin, and coriander). I also ordered the<br />
locally roasted Almond Butter Toast with extra virgin olive oil, flaked salt, and “the works” (banana,<br />
honey from The Bee Box, and ground cocoa nibs). All of their toasts—designed specifically for Chocolate<br />

• 1 1/4 cups cornstarch<br />
• 1 cup all-purpose flour<br />
• 1 tsp. baking powder<br />
• Pinch of salt<br />
• 1/2 cup unsalted<br />
butter<br />
• 3/4 cup sugar<br />
• 2 egg yolks<br />
• 3 tbsp. milk<br />
Filling & Decoration<br />
• 1 can dulce de leche<br />
• Powdered sugar, for<br />
dusting<br />
• Fine shredded<br />
coconut or chopped<br />
nuts, optional<br />
Put cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and<br />
pinch of salt in a bowl and sift.<br />
In another bowl, mix butter and sugar at<br />
medium speed until creamy. Add yolks and<br />
mix until incorporated. Add dry mix and milk.<br />
Cover with plastic and chill in refrigerator for<br />
20-30 minutes.<br />
Preheat oven to 325 and cover a sheet pan<br />
with parchment paper.<br />
With a rolling pin, roll the dough on a lightly<br />
floured surface until you have a thickness<br />
of 1/8”. Cut 2” circles or any desired shape,<br />
and place on sheet pan. Bake for about 10<br />
minutes. Note: Cookies should be pale in<br />
color and not golden brown. Cool completely.<br />
Spread about two teaspoons of dulce<br />
de leche on the flat part of the cookie.<br />
Sandwich together with another cookie,<br />
roll the sides on the shredded coconut or<br />
chopped nuts, and dust with powdered<br />
sugar.<br />
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour,<br />
cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda,<br />
espresso (if using), and salt. Set aside.<br />
In a bowl with a stand mixer (or using a<br />
hand mixer), combine the butter and sugar<br />
on medium-high until light and fluffy, 2-3<br />
minutes. Add the egg and peppermint<br />
extract. Beat until combined, about 1<br />
minute, scraping the side of the bowl as<br />
needed. With the mixer on low, slowly<br />
add the flour mixture and stir until just<br />
incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.<br />
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough<br />
and roll into a ball. Slightly flatten it and<br />
press the top into crushed candy cane bits.<br />
Repeat with remaining dough and place on<br />
prepared cookie sheet 1 ½ inches apart.<br />
Bake 10-12 minutes, until edges are firm and<br />
the center is still soft. Let cool on the cookie<br />
sheets 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire<br />
rack to cool completely.<br />
*The flour can be substituted with a glutenfree<br />
flour mix, almond flour, or coconut<br />
flour.<br />

Cream together the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla,<br />
and peppermint extract for about 5 minutes<br />
on low and 10 minutes on medium, scraping<br />
the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the<br />
egg and mix for about 1 minute on low and 3<br />
minutes on medium.<br />
In a separate bowl, sift togehter the flour,<br />
cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder.<br />
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture<br />
and stir together, being careful not to<br />
overmix.<br />
Separate your dough into 2 equal parts, put<br />
them in separate mixing bowls, and stir in the<br />
red food coloring to one of the bowls. Keep<br />
both bowls covered with a bread towel or<br />
baking paper.<br />
Preheat oven to 375. Roll the dough into<br />
portioned balls, about the size of a walnut or<br />
tablespoon, depending on how big you want<br />
your candy canes to be. Next, roll them into<br />
ropes, keeping the dough you aren’t using<br />
covered. Place 1 red and 1 white rope side by<br />
side; press together lightly and twist until it<br />
has a candy cane shape. Place on a baking<br />
sheet 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack<br />
for about 12 minutes, turning the tray halfway<br />
through. Let cookies cool on baking sheet.<br />
*If you don’t like the flavor of peppermint,<br />
vanilla or almond extract works, too.<br />
