| editor’s letter |

We cover food in every issue of STYLE—and for good reason. Our

readers have made it clear that food needs to be one of the most

important parts of our editorial. Here’s an interesting fact: Local

area residents in the STYLE Magazine regions eat out more than

seven times each week, which include dining at a restaurant or

fast-food chain as well as take out, etc. Our choices have not only

grown immensely but the quality of food and the restaurants

have as well.

I first moved to this area in

late 1988 and remember all the

great local area restaurants very

clearly—that’s because there were

very, very few. As one might expect,

the dining landscape has changed

drastically over the past 30+ years

and mostly for the good. Something

that does stand out are the number

of breakfast spots that dot our

landscape. Add to that the eateries

that have found life in offering

Sunday or weekend brunch menus

and we find ourselves in brunch

Shangri-La. Our hope is that our “Let’s Do Brunch!” feature (page 53) and its stunning

photos will motivate you to try something new—including the “brunch in a glass” you

see on the cover!

Don’t miss “Taste of the Town,” a special section in

great places to eat are plentiful and delicious.

may truly be one of the most outstanding resources

—Matt Basile

offered to you and your family. From books (bound,

digital, and audible) and videos, to story times for

kids and 3-D printers, all this and more—along with

the amazing librarians and staff that make our libraries a fun and educational

community—are resources you should be using!

Our calendar of events, notes on new and existing businesses, people, art, fashion,

and more have made STYLE the region’s best publication for the past 19 years. As

publishers of this magazine, we constantly strive to produce a publication you enjoy

that helps guide you through all the wonderful things our communities have to offer.

Thank you for reading over the past two decades. Should you have and ideas,

criticism’s or anything else you would like to share with us, feel free to get in touch.

We look forward to hearing from you! All the Best!

People & Places

in the News

Folsom Lake College (flc.losrios.

edu) has been selected to participate

in the Military Articulation

Platform (MAP) 2022 Cohort. The

program ensures all U.S. military

veterans and active-duty service

members receive college transfer

credit for the rigorous training and

coursework completed during active

duty. They can also receive up to one

year of Folsom Lake College credit

towards academic programs leading

to graduation, transfer to a four-year

university, and numerous careers.

The Arts Council of Placer County

announced their 2021-22 grant

recipients who received roughly

$95,000 for their contribution

of art throughout Placer County.

Recipients included Art League

Did you know that “tree topping”—the

indiscriminate cutting of trunks and

branches back to stubs—increases long

term risks, permanently disfigures and

stresses trees, and can lead to higher

maintenance costs? In Folsom, ‘topping’

a protected tree (including residential

trees within 12.5 feet from a sidewalk

or street) can result in fines and

corrective action. Pruning protected

trees requires a tree permit and you

can get more advice from your local

arborist and folsom.ca.us/arboristfaq.

The El Dorado Hills Community

Services District has a new AI

English or Spanish, work towards a

high school diploma, explore career

options, prepare for college, and

develop digital and financial literacy.

Homesteading

Locals Who Live Off the Land

by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH

Homesteading is living self-sufficiently by way of growing your own food, raising

animals for meat or other food products like milk and eggs, and making your own

home supplies. You may have caught a glimpse of the concept on shows such

as Alaska: The Last Frontier, but did you know that some of your neighbors are

homesteaders, too? We’ve profiled four locals who embody this unique lifestyle.

Flicker Farm,

Placerville

When difficult events and a run-ofthe-mill

lifestyle weren’t bringing

joy, Nicole Wilkey, her husband

Brian, and daughter Elle (10)

decided it was time for a change.

“While living in the suburbs through

traumatic events, your perspective

changes,” says Nicole. “Brian and

I would only see each other in

passing because he’s a firefighter

and I was working at an OR,” she

recalls. “We wanted to raise our

only child more sustainably and in

less of the rat race.”

Nowadays, the Wilkeys own 64

chickens, seven pigs, one donkey,

six goats, and about 20 rabbits.

With so many animals—many of

which are used as food sources

for the family—Nicole’s passion

for meat education runs deep.

“It’s disappointing to me how our

society as a whole views food and

where it comes from,” she shares,

recounting the time a preschool

tour came to the farm. “Many of

the kids loved bacon but didn’t

know that it came from an animal.

I think it’s incredibly important to

love all animals and treat them

well while they’re here,” says

Nicole. “I just want people to be

more connected to their food and

educate themselves on where it’s

coming from.”

Check out @flickerfarm on

Instagram. To purchase goat milk

soap, lotion, and herbal salves,

visit flickerfarm.etsy.com. Be on

the lookout for their truck which

occasionally sells flower bouquets

around town.

The Lyttge Farmette,

Shingle Springs

For Wyatte Lyttge, her husband, and their four

children, the homesteading lifestyle has proven to

be a blessing over the past two years.

“We have two kids with special needs (autism

and epilepsy) and the desire to build them a

safe haven really tugged at us,” she shares.

“We closed on our home at the beginning of the

pandemic and were so glad to try something

different. Being resourceful and learning new

things surrounded by beauty has gotten us

through the chaos.”

The Lyttge family owns everything from alpacas

to pigs. Wyatte especially finds the relationship

with animals most rewarding about this lifestyle.

“There’s something so magical about watching

life begin,” she says. “We care deeply for all of

Aside from raising animals, The Lyttge Farmette produces

lots of goods to sell—including turkeys, ducks, chickens,

and quail eggs, as well as baked goods like hand pies and

chocolate brownies, canned items, soaps, and bath salts.

“We hope to be able to find others to collaborate with in

their Instagram presence has flourished in the four years

they’ve lived this lifestyle. “I’m from the Bay Area and did not

even own a dog growing up,” says Christina. “I started the

platform (Instagram) to document our home build but also to

connect with other homesteaders.” She recalls the time they

got goats and struggled to raise them. “[The goats] were

really mean! I started to ask questions on Instagram and

[began getting] advice on how to handle them.”

Nowadays, Christina is the one dishing out advice and tips

about the homesteading life—especially on DIY projects, like

a dupe for a pricey Studio McGee bed frame. “Hopefully, my

Instagram can help inspire others,” she says.

Follow their journey on Instagram @thermaland.oaks, and be

on the lookout for a YouTube channel coming later this year.

Christina and Trevor Heinritz take the term “DIY” to a

whole new level.

“After graduating from Chico State and wanting out of the

college scene, we closed escrow on a 10-acre lot that was

raw land…there was poison oak and brush with not even

a driveway or a septic well!” says Christina, adding, “who,

fresh out of college, can afford to build a house?”

Instead of hiring contractors for everything, their budget

propelled them into the do-it-yourself spirit. “We literally

built our house from the ground up,” she says. Aside from

a growing family (Frankie is two and Georgie is an infant),

Michelle Kwek is living proof that anyone can have a green

thumb—even if you don’t live on sprawling farmland.

Michelle first started gardening as a passion project. “I have

this lemon tree and during the pandemic, I wanted to be

able to share, so I put out a little stand [of lemons] outside

my driveway for free.” Now, Michelle has eight fruit trees in

her front yard, along with raised beds and items in pots. “I

have kids (Ellery (12), Camille (10), and Amaya (7)), so it’s

a multi-purpose backyard,” she says. “There’s a lot you can

do with a relatively small space. It’s overwhelming to do it all

at once so for those who want to try growing on their own,

plan out incremental phases and give yourself grace,” she

recommends.

Michelle also plays with garden space at the Twin Lakes Food

Bank in Folsom where she’s the Gardening Coordinator. “I get

to manage a quarter acre garden here,” she shares. “I think

it’s really important that we’re able to give people access to

fresh, homegrown produce.”

Unique Library Programs

by NELLY KISLYANKA

“Books are just the tip

of the library iceberg,”

according to the

California State Library

(CSL). In fact, California’s

public libraries provide

435,000 programs

with over 10.6 million

attendees a year. Book

clubs, workshops,

parenting resources,

literacy classes–these

are just a sampling of

how public libraries

facilitate exploration,

lifelong learning,

connection, and fun.

Why are these

programs vital for

communities? “Public

libraries are community

hubs that bring people

together and close the

opportunity gap by

connecting people to

essential services and

resources,” states the

CSL. Read on to learn

about some of the

programs and resources

offered at public

libraries in our region.

Folsom Public Library

Folsom Public Library offers youth and

adult Health & Wellness Kits that are

available for a three-week checkout. Each

kit is curated around a particular mental

health topic. For adults, topics include

Alzheimer’s disease, postpartum depression,

stress reduction, and more. Kits for youth

help them navigate emotions such as worry,

confidence, and anger. Health & Wellness

Kits may contain books, activities, resource

lists, and/or toys relating to the designated

topic—all stored in a tote bag for adults

or a backpack for youth. Most bags also

contain a discussion guide to encourage

and help individuals talk to someone on the

topic.

The library has partnered with GetSetUp

to provide adults aged 55 and older with

Folsom Public Library Health & Wellness Kits

free Well-being Classes. The interactive

online classes cover health, fitness, mental

health, the arts, and more. Participants

can connect with others who share similar

interests while discovering new hobbies.

Folsom Library’s patrons also have

access to thousands of online classes to

learn new vocational and educational skills,

Spotlight on

Mixed-Media Artists

by BELLA NOLEN

Mixed media allows artists to play with

multiple materials without the fear of

boundaries. Whether it’s paint, glass,

metal, or cloth, this art form encourages

imagination and creativity by utilizing

several elements. Meet some of our area’s

accomplished mixed-media artists here.

The Clearing

viewer and that the message

is somewhat obscured [and]

requires rumination.

How did you develop your

artistic skills?

I took some workshops with

Anne Bradley (a fellow-gallery

member) and loved it! I’ve also

taken a few online courses,

learned repousse (a metal

technique), and continue to

study composition and the

work of other artists.

What advice would you give

to someone just starting out?

Stop making sense! (I

borrowed this from the band

Talking Heads). I had to stop

making “sense” of everything

in order to do abstract art.

Pay attention to composition,

colors, and values, and work

with textures and mediums

that you have fun with. This

journey is all about fun!

Where is your favorite place

to create?

In my studio. It’s hard to bring

all that stuff anywhere else to

paint.

Where can your art be

found?

What attracts you to mixed

media?

I’m in love with textures and

the abstract expression of art.

Textures consume me— they are

rich, varied, and found in nature.

When I first started art, I didn’t

“get” abstract art. Now, I love that

it’s open for interpretation by the

Dangling Conversation

State Theater

What attracts you to

mixed media?

I like the idea of being

able to use anything in an

art piece. The objective

is communicating

something with the

artwork—and using

anything that will assist in

that communication. Using

imagination is a large

factor just because it’s fun!

How did you develop your

artistic skills?

I made a collage by taping

magazine pieces to the

recessed panel of a door in

my apartment. At the time,

I’d never heard the term

“collage” and didn’t know

what it was. I just wanted to

brighten up my apartment

and do something fun.

I’ve also done hundreds of

hours of individual study

which still continues today.

With YouTube, you can

learn all sorts of interesting

techniques which you can

make your own.

What advice would you

give to someone just

starting out?

Hold nothing back. Every

piece might not end up

being exactly what you

were hoping for, but

every piece teaches you

something that you can

carry forward in future art

works. Use anything and

everything that inspires or

moves you.

Where is your favorite

place to create?

In my little studio which I

set up in a bedroom.

What attracts you to

The freedom to create

with no boundaries—

there is no right or

wrong. It’s all about

improvisation and

figuring out how each

media interacts with

the other to create the

finished product.

How did you develop

your artistic skills?

Trial and error. I am selftaught

and come from

a very talented family.

We were always involved

in DIY projects—from

creating sceneries,

props, and costumes for

theatrical productions

to artwork for our home.

My parents always reused

and recycled. One of

my favorite childhood

memories is a birthday

made circus animals

for each attendee. We all

spent hours sitting in

our boxes.

What advice would you

give to someone just

Be bold. Let your

creativity be your guide.

If someone tells you

“that will never work”

or “that can’t be done,”

experiment anyway.

Where is your favorite

place to create?

In my studio. I’m

surrounded with things

that inspire me and I

have the freedom to be

messy and experiment.

Longevity

Rules

24 HOURS TO A

LONGER LIFE

by KOURTNEY JASON

Living a healthier life doesn’t have to be hard.

Every day we consciously (and unconsciously)

make choices that can either hurt or help our

overall well-being—from what we choose to

eat and drink to postponing the day’s workout

to staying up past your bedtime. Since we’re

all given 24 hours in a day, we’ve asked

local experts to share easy, healthy habits to

incorporate into your life from morning to

night. Read on for their tips and see which

ones you can add to your daily routine—

starting today!

7 a.m.: Wake up screen-free

“Before grabbing the phone, give yourself

5-10 minutes to visualize your day, feed

yourself some positivity, or even just reflect

on your dreams. While it may seem odd,

this ‘brain hack’ reinforces a positive mental

attitude and may contribute to a healthier,

happier, more successful day.” —Isidora

Marin and Ryan Martinez, Co-owners of

Bikram Yoga Folsom, bikramyogafolsom.

com

7:15 a.m.: Meditate

“Remember this acronym: RPM, which

stands for ‘rise, pee, meditate.’ So, wake up,

use the restroom, then meditate for 15-30

minutes. Meditation reduces stress, anxiety,

depression, insomnia, and more.” —Andrea

Tagamolila, Spa Director at Serenity Spa |

Soul Yoga, serenityspaonline.com

8 a.m.: Protect your skin

“Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30

sunscreen (even on cloudy days) can

help reduce your risk of developing skin

cancers, wrinkles, sagging skin, and age

spots.” —Lee Lipton PA-C, Group Fitness

Director at Spare Time Sports Clubs,

sparetimesportsclubs.com

9 a.m.: Eat a high fat and protein breakfast

“Make this first meal full of healthy fats and

proteins for a long-lasting, healthy meal. Use butter

(or, even better, ghee), eggs, avocado, almond butter,

tahini, hemp seeds, nuts, olive oil…anything with

lots of good fats. And yes, bacon counts!” —Isidora

Marin and Ryan Martinez, Co-owners of Bikram

Yoga Folsom, bikramyogafolsom.com

10:30 a.m.: Walk daily

“Take a ten-minute walk during your morning and

afternoon breaks to get the blood flowing. This

will increase your productivity as it helps promote

blood flow to the brain while allowing your mind

to relax from your daily tasks, all the while keeping

you and your heart healthy.” —Isidora Marin and

Ryan Martinez, Co-owners of Bikram Yoga Folsom,

bikramyogafolsom.com

12 p.m.: Cut off caffeine

“After noon, it’s decaf for you! As a tea

and coffee drinker myself, this is hard

for me to stick to. By cutting off your

caffeine consumption at 12, it helps your

body process that caffeine so that it’s

out of your system by the time you’re

heading to bed.” —Cambria Mason,

PA-C of Marshall Family Medicine in

Placerville, marshallmedical.org

12:30 p.m.: Post-lunch brush and

floss

“After you brush, find that abandoned

dental floss in your bathroom drawer.

Research has shown that flossing your

teeth once a day helps reduce levels

of harmful bacteria that can increase

your risk of gum disease, heart disease,

and type 2 diabetes.” —Lee Lipton PA-C,

Group Fitness Director at Spare Time

Sports Clubs, sparetimesportsclubs.com

3 p.m.: Have a dance party

“Dance like nobody’s watching! Rev up

your mid-day slumps by putting on a

song that makes you want to dance in

your chair. Better yet, get up and move

around. You’ll burn calories and improve

your mood all in about three to five

minutes!” —Lee Lipton PA-C, Group

Fitness Director at Spare Time Sports

Clubs, sparetimesportsclubs.com

4:30 p.m.: Cultivate community

“This is where you get to de-stress

and enjoy the companionship of your

family and friends. Go for a walk, enjoy

afternoon tea with a friend or have a

Zoom call with your book club. Just

make sure you schedule some time to

connect with loved ones—even if it’s

just 15 minutes.” —Heather Crivellone,

Personal Trainer at Roseville Health &

Wellness Center

5 p.m.: 1-minute mindfulness

“Did you know that even one minute of

mindfulness practice can help reset your

mood, recharge your energy, and relax

your body? Take 60 seconds to find a

comfortable position and focus on the

rhythm of your breathing; relax tension

in your shoulders and jaw; look around

and notice the details of something

around you; acknowledge that you are

here, now.” —Lee Lipton PA-C, Group

Fitness Director at Spare Time Sports

Clubs, sparetimesportsclubs.com

6 p.m.: Eat a healthy dinner

“While this may sound broad and

confusing, a healthy meal simply involves

food from all major food groups: Fruits,

vegetables, and lean meat. A big breakfast

and light dinner are proven to be a

healthier practice as it can help burn

more calories throughout the day.”

—Austin Saavedra, MD, Family Medicine

Physician with Dignity Health Mercy

Medical Group, dignityhealth.org

7 p.m.: Try self-abhyanga

(massage)

“Self-massage helps with blood flow and

circulation. Oleation (aka oil massage) of

our largest organ (the skin) promotes selfcare

and self-love, and is very grounding

and relaxing. Tip: Use an oil like jojoba

and warm it up beforehand. Massage

starting at the crown of the head, then

face, and move down to the entire body.

Allow these oils to absorb for as long

as you can before enjoying a warm

shower or bath.” —Andrea Tagamolila,

Spa Director at Serenity Spa | Soul Yoga,

serenityspaonline.com

7:30 p.m.: Make time for recreation

“This is very important in leading a

happy life since it affects how we feel

and think. You can explore and try new

hobbies such as learning an instrument

or doing crafts.” —Austin Saavedra,

MD, Family Medicine Physician with

Dignity Health Mercy Medical Group,

dignityhealth.org

9 p.m.: Wind down

“Begin to unwind and get ready for the

next day. Take a warm Epsom salt bath,

read a book, and begin to turn off all

electronic devices. Studies have shown

that reducing blue light and cutting back

on screen time before bed will help with

getting a quality night sleep.” —Heather

Crivellone, Personal Trainer at Roseville

Health & Wellness Center

9:45 p.m.: Steal 15 minutes for you

“Many of us put off self-care to get

our other tasks done. As part of your

nightly routine, have a planned 15

minutes for yourself. This is the time

for you to do something for you and

you alone. It is your time to destress.

This could be another time for

meditation, yoga stretches, or listening

to music. Just do something that you

enjoy.” —Cambria Mason, PA-C of

Marshall Family Medicine in Placerville,

marshallmedical.org

10 p.m.: Go screen-free

“Screens should go to bed before you do.

When you’re looking at the TV or phone,

there is a blue light that can lead your

body to produce less melatonin. Melatonin

is a hormone that your body naturally

produces to help ready your body for

sleep. By not looking at screens for the

hour leading up to bedtime, you better

prepare your body for sleep.” —Cambria

Mason, PA-C of Marshall Family Medicine

in Placerville, marshallmedical.org

10:30 p.m.: Practice gratitude

“Gratitude is one of the easiest and

quickest ways to shift our mood.

Close your eyes, put your hand on

your heart, take three deep breaths

and ask yourself: ‘What am I grateful

for?’ Take a few moments to consider

the people, places, experiences, and

all the gifts we’ve been given. Allow

yourself to be filled with gratitude

and appreciation; allow a gentle smile.

When you’re ready, slowly float your

eyes open.” —Andrea Tagamolila, Spa

Director at Serenity Spa | Soul Yoga,

serenityspaonline.com

11 p.m.-7 a.m.: Get eight hours

of rest

“While the amount of sleep needed

varies with age, it is recommended for

adults to have at least seven to eight

hours of sleep. It is also beneficial to

have a consistent sleep schedule—

including waking up early at the same

time every day and setting bedtime

early enough that will get you the

recommended hours of sleep needed.”

Take a Hike

LOCATED IN:

Pilot Hill

DISTANCE:

4.4 miles Loop

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

Moderate

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

Bring sunscreen,

as there are many

exposed sections. Bring

swimwear for a cold

plunge in the river.

FUEL UP:

Hit up The Farm Table

(ourfarmtable.com) in

Downtown Placerville for

some locally-sourced

bites from acclaimed

Northern California chef,

Frederick Reyes. The

menu changes based

on what is available

locally, and they have a

generous beer and wine

selection. Stop in for

lunch or dinner or even

brunch on Sundays.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

As the Sierras continue

to thaw, this closeto-home

trail offers

some amazing March

sunshine, flowers, thick

forest sections, and

direct river access for

a Wim Hof style cold

plunge for the daring.

With enough elevation

gain to feel you got your

work out, this half-day

hike is great to start

training for the warmer

months to come.

TRAIL NOTES:

Dogs are welcome on

a leash, bring layers,

sunscreen, plenty

of water and please

practice Leave No Trace

principles.

Setting

Goals

for

Summer

With so many

world-class hiking

destinations in our

back yard, making

your hiking bucket

list should be easy.

Do you want to do

a thru-hike of the

Tahoe Rim Trail or

backpack several

days on the Pacific

Coast Trail?

Getting in shape

and knowing your

gear is key for these

longer trips. Here

are some good

recommendations:

1

Break-in your gear. Never

start a long hike (more

than five miles) or a multiday

trip with brand new

gear. This is especially

true for your shoes. Test

out and break in your new

gear on easier trails, like

the Down and Up Trail.

2

Plan the logistics. On

many longer hikes, you

will need to leave a car at

the endpoint and arrange

a drop-off at your starting

point. For multi-day trips,

you may need to arrange

food drop-offs at key

points of the trail.

3

Hike with extra weight.

On longer trips, you will

be carrying significantly

more weight than normal.

Get in shape by carrying

extra weight on shorter

trails to prepare for the

extra effort.

Do

you have a

favorite trail in the

region you’d like to see

featured? Tell us all

about it at info@

Dentistry is Dr. Boyechko’s passion.

This passion drives her to change

people’s lives by improving their

smiles. Her passion began in the

Soviet Union as a dental student. She was not

able to graduate from Soviet dental school due

to her Christian beliefs. Not one to give up,

she pursued her dream after she arrived in the

United States as a refugee.

With only self-taught English, she worked as

a dental technician, graduated from Portland

State University with Bachelor of Arts and

received her DMD diploma from Oregon

Health Science University School of Dentistry.

In addition to practicing dentistry in her

private offices in Oregon and California,

she was also teaching in OHSU and UCLA

dental schools. This allowed her to share

her knowledge, experience, and passion with

dental students.

Dr. Boyechko now enjoys her thriving practice

in Cameron Park. Her patients often travel to

see her due to having trust and confidence in

her expertise.

In her practice, she utilizes the most advanced

dental technology such as Computer Assisted

Design (CAD) and Computer Assisted

Manufacturing (CAM) for crowns, bridges,

and dentures. Digital X-rays and CBCT

(Cone-beam Computer Tomography) assist

her in placing and restoring implants. She also

offers strengthening teeth with Invisalign and

SureSmile.

Uniquely, she fabricates crowns and bridges

in her in-house lab, which allows for greater

precision, quality control and delivering them

on the same day.

Dr. Boyechko’s passion is fueled with every

smile that is created by her and her team.

She believes “Your smile is a door to your

soul and if you love your smile, you can truly

SPRING

FLINGS

Seasonal Fashion Trends

by BELLA NOLEN

6

Spring has sprung—and along with it,

some new styles to get behind! Below

are some up-and-coming fashion trends

to be on the lookout for this year.

3

Be Bold

“[Go for] loud and colorful prints, brown tones, blazers,

bucket hats, and miniskirts,” recommends Lux n Lav Boutique

which carries unisex hats, gifts, as well as a baby line. Hot

items to look for this spring are their blazers ($61-$70) along

with their checkered sweater vest ($48).

–Lux n Lav Boutique, 6040 Stanford Ranch Road, Suite 200, Rocklin,

916-607-5934, shopluxnlav.com, and @shopluxnlav

2

Blast from the Past

Throwbacks are back! “Some of the trends we love are the ‘70s

psychedelic prints and marbled prints. We love that the flare

leg has truly made a comeback but the best thing about moving

into spring are the dresses—and we have so many!”

—Apricot Lane Boutique Folsom, 330 Palladio Parkway, Suite 2057,

Folsom, 916-986-9132, folsom.shopalb.com, @apricotlanefolsom

apricotlane_folsom

2

Feminine Flair

“Feminine and pretty dresses are big this spring ($72-

$96). [You can even pair a] lovely kimono ($70-$119)

to wear with them,” suggests the folks at Ambiance

Boutique. Don’t be afraid to brighten your wardrobe this

season. “Colorful denim also seems to be a fun trend. We

have several beautiful and fun colors ($100+).”

—Ambiance Boutique, 6608 Folsom-Auburn Road, Suite 8, Folsom,

916-936-4471, and @ambianceboutiquefolsom

Fashion Fur-ward

Fashion is for everyone—including our furry friends! As we

approach warmer weather, turn to mesh harnesses because

they’re “super lightweight and breathable,” says PR and event

coordinator of Posh Puppy Boutique, Maryssa Sayabath.

“Neon is also a must have for humans and dogs.” For some

extra fun, Posh Puppy Boutique also sells sunglasses for

pets! “Heart sunglasses are a must-have accessory for our

customers. They complete all outfits and add that touch of

attitude,” says Maryssa. However, the true stars of the show

are their tutus ($48-$56). “These are a top seller year-round,

especially during the spring and summer months. They come

in a variety of colors which makes them perfect to dress up

and accessorize depending on the season.”

—Posh Puppy Boutique, 6671 Blue Oaks Boulevard, Suite 2, Rocklin,

916-435-3044, poshpuppyboutique.com,

@poshpuppyboutique @poshpuppy

Fabulous Fabrics

“Cut-outs will be a huge trend this year. Think keyhole, cut-out sides, and open

backs. Other trends include feminine looks, florals, exaggerated sleeves, ruffles,

one-shoulder styles, balloon sleeves, and bows. [Expect] pastels and plenty

of detail,” says Lucy Wheeler, store manager and assistant buyer for Button

Up Boutique. “Fabric [in the form of] pleating, darts, smocking, and ruching;

crochet, knits, eyelet lace, gingham, bold prints, sets (pants and sweaters, or

tanks and shorts), and lots of cropped styles with high-waisted shorts or pants

will be in this year!” She also suggests expanding your color palette. “Some

popular colors this season will be canary yellow, sky blue, fuchsia, caramel, soft

lilac, Kelly green, and orange tones.”

-Button Up Boutique, 330 Palladio Parkway, Suite 2017, Folsom, 916-817-1882; 1182 Roseville

Parkway, Suite 170, Roseville, 916-742-4997; 1000 White Rock Road, Suite 500, El Dorado

Hills, 916-933-6300, buttonupboutique.net, @buttonupboutique @shopbuttonup

Sole Mates

If the shoe fits, buy it! “For shoes, [we suggest] both

the strappy and the platform—more so the platform

as a low wedge,” suggests Tracy Lindenberger, owner

of The Clothes Mine. “Bold is better! So, keep an eye

out for bold color combinations. Our customers will

probably interpret this with one or two bold accents

on an otherwise neutral outfit,” she says. “[Lastly],

add some ‘Flower Power,’ or floral prints in the

form of a cute floral dress, top or handbag.” Tracy

suggests their sandals ($49) and earrings ($8) while

their corkscrew platform sandals ($72) are a “huge

bestseller and are super comfortable!”

—The Clothes Mine, 60 Main Street, Suite 2, Sutter Creek,

209-267-0417, theclothesmine.com,

and @theclothesmine

Mix and Match

Denim, skirts, and sets—we’ll take all of them! “We’re seeing

colored denim jackets for spring right now,” says Tegan Lee

of Lees’ Boutique. “They can be worn in so many ways. Our

favorite look with a [colored jacket is] a basic white tee and

denim. Another look that’s trending right now is matching

two-piece sets. We have a variety of skirts (short, long, and

mid-length), pants, and shorts with matching tops,” says

Tegan. “You can wear the top high [like] a crop top, or low as

if it’s all one piece. Ultimately, you get the bonus of having two

pieces you can pair with other clothes. Matching sets are all

the rage!” Lee suggests their ruffle skirt set ($59.99).

A: Absinthe was originally developed

as a medicinal liquor that was

given to soldiers in Europe to help

prevent malaria as well as aid with

digestive issues due to that fact that

anise oil (the main component of

absinthe) was generally accepted as

a natural digestive aid at the time,

and continues to be. Traditionally,

absinthe is made of high proof

distilled spirit with anise, fennel and

grande wormwood (the holy trinity

of absinthe). Other ingredients are

used by various distillers to add

additional flavor profiles that make

their absinthe unique. However, the

dominant flavor of absinthe is anise

(black licorice). Largely, absinthe was

the most popular drink from 1850

till the early 1900’s. Because of its

popularity, the Temperance League

lobbied against absinthe due to the

high rate of alcohol related crime

and false claims that it made you

hallucinate or “go crazy” (which it did

not). Absinthe was banned in most

of Europe between 1905 and 1910,

and the United States followed in

1912. Europe reintroduced it around

the 1950’s and the United States

allowed the sale of absinthe in 2007

based on science that the spirit was

no more dangerous than other spirits

currently available at the time.

Catch the Sun

A Guide to Going Solar

by KOURTNEY JASON

Solar power is, simply put, energy converted from

the sun that can be used to power your home.

“T

here has never been a more important time

to go solar,” says Daniel Ramirez, COO of Gold

Rush Energy Solutions in El Dorado Hills

(goldrushenergy.com). “Things are changing fast [so

much so that] PG&E, among others, are trying to

make solar less attractive to future solar customers.

If solar has been a bucket list project for you, now is

the time to check it off your list,” he says.

Rob Kindt, owner of SIG Solar Placerville

(sigplacerville.com), says you should be aware

that some companies are experiencing delays in

equipment because of the global manufacturing and

logistics issues during the pandemic. “Successful

solar companies are planning ahead and ordering

six months to a year’s worth of equipment to

make sure there is always equipment on hand for

installations,” he says.

If you’ve been thinking about adding solar panels

to your home and want to kickstart the process,

read on to learn about the pros, cons, installation

process, and questions to ask before you make the

commitment.

PROS & CONS

Kindt says one downside is the cost. “It can be

expensive. However, there are great financing

options with zero upfront costs to get installed.

There are also amazing tax credits available to help

offset the cost.”

Additionally, some homes have shading that can

make solar not a viable option while other roofs are

difficult or impossible to install solar on. Ground

mounts are an option if the customer has space to

install one, according to Kindt.


On the list of pros for going solar, Ramirez

says solar helps people save money on

ever-rising energy costs and yields a great

return on investment. “Solar gives most

people huge tax savings; solar paired

with storage gives homeowners power

during outages and it can add equity to

your home, all while helping reduce your

carbon footprint. What's not to love?” he

asks.

Kindt adds that solar gives homeowners a

great alternative to traditional grid power.

“It offers a green, renewable resource for

electricity and more grid independence.

This is especially true when battery

storage is included in the system. Solar

can also save homeowners hundreds of

dollars a month on their electrical bills

by typically reducing PG&E utility bills to

zero,” he says.

COSTS + REBATES

Costs vary depending on the total electric

consumption needs and complexity of

the home, says Ramirez. “Many zero-down

financing options allow homeowners

to switch to solar with no upfront costs.

The best way to determine your costs is

to get a customized quote,” he says, while

stressing the cost benefits. “When solar

is sized to meet 100-110 percent of your

electricity needs, the energy produced

from the panels eliminates your normal

electric bill. Right now, there is a federal

tax credit of 26 percent of the total system

cost.” Kindt adds that they treat each

home on a case-by-case basis to figure out

system costs. “In general, solar is about

50 percent cheaper than what a home

spends per month with PG&E,” he says.

The average homeowner purchase is

around $30,000 before federal tax credit

and incentives, according to Meghan

Stimmler, sales director at Solar Hut, LLC

in Diamond Springs (solarhut.org). “When

you consider the long-term economics

of solar power, it is clear that they are a

better option in the end. Solar panels are

an investment,” she states.

INSTALLATION PROCESS

The entire solar process typically takes

about 45 days to complete, according

to Ramirez. “We take care of everything

from financing, design, permitting,

istallation, inspection, and utility

interconnection. Actual installations can

range from 1-5 days depending on the

complexities of the project.”

Stimmler shares this detailed overview of

the installation process and timeframes.

1. Site assessment and design (1-4 weeks)

“This step begins with an initial site

inspection, where your contractor

will visit your home to get a better

understanding of your needs. They will

then design your solar panel system

based on your home’s unique attributes. If

necessary, most contractors can also work

with you to address any issues that might

hinder panel installation, like pruning

nearby trees or making roofing repairs.”

2. Permitting (2-8 weeks)

“Your solar panel designs must now be

submitted to your local government for

permitting. The process for approval

varies from region to region; but your

contractor should work closely with

you during permitting and will likely be

very knowledgeable about your area’s

permitting process.”

3. Solar panel installation (1-7 days)

“After receiving approval, your solar

contractor can begin work. This includes

ordering your solar panels as well as

making sure your roof is structurally

sound and free of obstructions. On the

big day, an installation crew will install the

proper wiring and mounting equipment,

and place and connect the solar panels.

Depending on the size of the solar panel

system being installed, this process can

sometimes be done within a day.”

4. Inspection and utility permission to

operate (2-6 weeks)

“A final inspection by your local

government and/or municipal utility must

occur before your new solar array can

officially be turned on. An inspector will

visit your home to ensure that your solar

panel system is properly installed. They

may also install a net meter which tracks

production and allows your home to send

excess power back to the electrical grid.”

5. Activation

“Once you receive final approval, you can

immediately flip the switch and begin

harvesting solar energy for your home!”

QUESTIONS TO ASK

The three experts shared the following

questions homeowners should ask before

going solar, noting that they should always

discuss their long-term solar goals. Kindt

says a good installer can recommend the

proper system and equipment to make

sure those goals are met.

• Will there be subcontractors involved?

Or is any part of this project outsourced

to a third party?

• What equipment and warranties are we

getting? What is the warranty on the

panels, inverters, and batteries? Does

the warranty cover the roof mounting

brackets?

• How can I be sure the system is sized

properly?

• What is the install/labor warranty?

• How are the aesthetics going to look?

• What is my solar offset with this size

system?

• Is this owned, leased, or a PPA?

• If financed, what are the loan terms?

• Does the monthly payment ever change?

• What is your contractor's license number?

• What is your HIS number?

• Is your company listed with the better

business bureau?

Brunch Booze

Brief

Brunch is great, but

it’s boring without

the booze. If you’re

unfamiliar with

what to drink in the

morning, we’ve got you

covered with this list

of cocktails typically

offered alongside

everyone’s favorite

weekend meal. Don’t

just take our word

for it, though, go out

there and try some for

yourself as variations

of these drinks are

often served depending

on the restaurant.

Nixtaco serves up authentic Northeast-Mexican cuisine and was even

given a Michelin Bib Gourmand award in 2021, so it’s no wonder they serve

up a notable brunch. Try out their Chilaquiles Verde with Chicharrón:

Fried corn tortillas (made in-house) are topped with pork belly, salsa verde,

crema Mexicana, pickled onions, avocado, and micro cilantro. This dish alone

deserves an award!

After you’ve perused

the extensive menu

and picked your savory

dish (omelets, skillets,

benedicts, burritos,

crêpes—they’ve got ‘em

all!) we recommend diving

into the Maui French

Toast with its flambéed

bananas, macadamia

The Purple Place is a laidback locale where

grub of smothered biscuits and gravy, chicken and

(heart-shaped) waffles, specialty egg plates, filling

sandwiches, and piping hot ooey gooey coffee cake.

And don’t miss the bodacious El Dorado Omelet

that’s packed with flavor from bacon, onions,

mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and Monterey Jack

cheese. It’s a local favorite—and not just for its name.

When it comes to Mexican cuisine, the question is often “red

or green?” That problem is solved with Huevos Divorciados

(Divorced Eggs) at Mexquite. Featuring two over-medium

eggs—one topped with house red sauce, and queso fresco,

and the other topped with green tomatillo salsa, cilantro,

and onions—it’s up to you to decide which one is best. We

think you’ll be pleased with both—especially when paired with

a boozy beverage. Try the Los Altos Paloma: Meastro Dobel

Silver Tequila, St. Germain, grapefruit juice, Squirt, a squeeze

of fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

Julian’s Pâtisserie and Café opens

bright and early (8 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-

Saturday; 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday) so you can

get your fix of all things French first thing in

the morning. Although Julian’s offers dishes

to satisfy every European café craving, a

trip here is incomplete without a taste of

their perfectly-crafted crêpes. Whether it’s a

savory Turkey and Pesto Crêpe or a sweet

Lemon Blueberry Crêpe, you’ve got to give

this French delicacy a try. And don’t forget

to top off your meal with a Frozen Hot

Chocolate—they’re to die for!

Early birds should flock to Bella

Bru Café because it opens at 6:30

a.m. daily, ensuring some serious

fuel for the day. Bagels, avocado

toast, omelets, and even a quinoa

bowl are on the menu. Try their

Roasted Vegetable Quiche that’s

packed with broccoli, zucchini,

onions, mushrooms, red and yellow

bell peppers, and Swiss cheese,

all nestled in a buttery crust. It's

got everything you need to power

through the day.

Buttercup Pantry offers country-style comfort food that never goes out of style.

You can’t go wrong with their Buttercup benedicts, skillet scrambles and omelets, or

even their pancakes and waffles. They’ve even got a smörgåsbord of sandwiches—a

long-standing favorite being the magnificent Monte Cristo: Thick, sliced sourdough

packed with Jack cheese, ham, and turkey, then egg battered and grilled, is finished off

with powdered sugar. And the pièce de résistance? Their famous raspberry habanero

sauce to bathe that sinful sandwich in.

222 Main Street, Placerville, 530-621-1320

Waffle lovers have lots to relish at

The Waffle Experience. Their

fresh-made waffles are the perfect

vessel for a multitude of creative

toppings. Think dolmades, braised

pork belly, country fried steak, and

lots more. There are even some

seriously sweet dessert waffles.

Our favorite is the Bananarama

with its fresh bananas, housemade

vanilla pudding, fresh

whipped crème, walnuts, and agave

syrup, on a liege waffle. Dessert for

breakfast never sounded so good!

When the clock strikes 7 (a.m.),

you’ll find that Greenhouse Café

is ready to serve—and please.

They’ve got all the breakfast staples

(scrambles, omelets, burritos)

as well as lighter lunch items

(sandwiches, salads). We’re smitten

by their melts—especially the Patty

Melt that boasts marbled rye, lots

of Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and

a burger patty. It’s wholesome and

wholly delicious.

Wally’s Pizza Bar is a sports bar

junkie’s delight. Featuring gourmet

pizzas, pastas, salads, and more,

they’re constantly keeping spirits up

with their fun and tasty offerings.

Attend their weekend brunch (9 a.m.-

2 p.m.) for an equally fun assortment

of waffles, eggs, and sandwiches.

Most crave-worthy, though, is their

Breakfast Pizza: A promising pie

of house-made salsa verde, aged

lunguiça, a signature four-cheese

blend, red onions, roma tomatoes,

three baked eggs, avocado, and fresh

cilantro. Pizza for breakfast? Say no

more.

CT European Café and Grill cooks up some

deadly European dishes. Take for instance, the

Bosnian dish Ćevapčići that consists of skinless

sausage links made with a lightly seasoned

ground beef served with fresh Bosnian lepina

(pita) bread, or the more common plates of

goulash, schnitzel, and paprikash. Whatever you

order, you can’t go wrong. Even their crêpes are

stellar (Chicken Rosemary Crêpe, anyone?)

with savory and sweet options alike. (We’re

eyeing you Crêpe Suzette, with your orange

liqueur sauce and whipped cream!)

4064 Mother Lode Drive, Shingle Springs,

530-677-5993, crepetowncafe.com


Classic breakfasts, freshly-baked goods, and a welcoming and homey

vibe can be experienced at Sweetie Pie’s. You can expect plenty of

egg dishes here (a breakfast favorite is their Chile Relleno Casserole

that’s a delicate soufflé with cheddar and Jack cheeses, Ortega

chilies, and mild salsa) but also look out for unique items like their tofu

DID YOU KNOW

Gallstones? Recognize The Signs

The gallbladder is an organ we seldom

hear about–until it has to come out.

It’s a small organ located under the

liver, helping with fat digestion. If the

bile ducts or tubes leading out of the

gallbladder get blocked or infected,

you may develop gallstones, which are hard deposits

that can cause severe pain.

Gallstones do not cause any symptoms aside from

pain that you would notice, but they can lead to inflammation

or block a critical duct for organ function. Some symptoms you

may experience include abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea

and vomiting, fever, changes in urine or bowels, and in some

cases even chest pain or jaundice (yellowing of the skin and

the whites of the eyes).

If you experience these symptoms, talk to your doctor about

gallbladder removal surgery. The gallbladder is an organ you

can live without and, most times, removal is a simple outpatient

procedure. Traditional laparoscopic surgery to remove the

gallbladder requires four small incisions.

However, with the da Vinci robotic surgery system, one small

incision is all it takes and there is virtually no scarring. Singlesite

gallbladder surgery also means minimal pain. Marshall

Medical Center Surgeon Leighton Belden, MD, explains, “using

da Vinci, you can see the ducts more clearly, which leads to

fewer complications. The wristed motion using the surgical

robot provides a better angle so patients experience less pain

and a faster recovery.”

Talk to your doctor about what you’re experiencing and if

robotic-assisted surgery at Marshall Medical Center is right

for you.

SPECIAL AD SECTION

Strength

Training

Is Good

for Your

Heart

Lifting weights does more than build

strong bones. Strength training can

also contribute to heart health by

building lean muscle mass, which

helps to burn extra calories, keep

blood sugar in check, and improve

cholesterol levels.

Strength training, especially for older

adults, can also make it easier to

perform everyday activities such as

lifting a bag of groceries.

“Building lean muscle mass is very

important to cardiac health. That’s

why we don’t just measure body

mass index (BMI), we also measure

body fat percentage and muscle mass

because muscle is more dense than

fat,” explains Scott Vasconcellos, MD,

cardiologist at Marshall. “I recommend

10 minutes of strength training for

every 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.”

If gyms are intimidating for you, or you

would simply prefer to work out at home,

the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) suggests trying some

of the following activities for strength

training. You can find lots of helpful

videos online to help you get started:

• Working with resistance bands, weight

machines or hand-held weights

• Doing push ups, sit ups and other body

weight resistance exercises

• Heavy gardening (digging, lifting and

carrying)

• Yoga or Pilates

• Tai Chi

Be careful not to over do it. The American

Heart Association recommends

performing 8 to 10 resistance exercises

two days a week. Look for exercises

that use multiple major muscle groups

– legs, hips, back, chest, abdomen,

shoulders, and arms. And try to do each

exercise to the point of muscle fatigue.

Avoid overtraining, however, and stop

immediately if you feel any pain.

COVER STORY

Better Cancer

Care Comes to

El Dorado County

As an ICU nurse, Nancy Getz was focused

on healing very sick patients she saw

at work every day. Health care was her

business. Then she found a lump and

everything changed.

Last February, Nancy received her

COVID-19 vaccine and later found a lump near her underarm.

“I just assumed it was a side effect from the vaccine. I knew

a few people who had experienced this but I went to see my

doctor anyway,” says Nancy. Her doctor sent her to get a

mammogram. Just 18 months after a negative mammogram,

this one came back positive for two lumps: the one Nancy

found and a larger one in her breast. A biopsy confirmed they

were malignant and she was diagnosed with aggressive triple

positive breast cancer.

While no one is happy about a cancer diagnosis, Nancy

was pleased to know that this type of cancer could be

treated at the Marshall Cancer Center in Cameron Park. “It’s

Davis has everything. My next thought was that now

Marshall patients will be able to participate in the

latest clinical trials. That could mean the difference

between life and death.”

Placerville’s Mary Beth Fahy also received a

breast cancer diagnosis last year. Hers was found

early thanks to Marshall’s recently acquired 3D

mammographic system. “It had been a couple of

years since my last mammogram, so I curiously

asked my oncologist if the tumor would have shown

last year. She told me that it might not even have

been visible even this year had it not been for the

3D machine.”

Mary Beth was similarly pleased to hear the

announcement about the affiliation with UC Davis

Health. Her husband suffered from a brain tumor

a few years ago and required treatment at a

Sacramento hospital. “It was so inconvenient,” she

exclaimed. “ It felt like a big impersonal machine.”

Dr. Mamatha Siricilla, a Marshall hematologist and

oncologist, offers that in addition to access to

clinical trials, treatment will be more streamlined if

a patient has cancer that requires a sub specialty.

“Those patients will be seen by a UC Davis

specialist in a more timely manner since we won’t

have to transfer the patient between systems, and

they can undergo their radiation, chemotherapy,

and other infusions in Cameron Park,” she

explained.

Mary Beth Fahy

only 11 minutes from my home. I was relieved to not have to

deal with an hour’s drive to Sacramento while feeling ill and

uneasy.” Her course of treatment began with chemotherapy

at Marshall’s infusion center, followed by a lumpectomy and

concluding with six weeks of radiation. All of this took place

in Cameron Park, except for the surgery. “I love going to

the Cancer Center for my appointments,” explains Nancy.

“It feels like they are invested in my care, they greet me by

name, and I feel so bonded with my doctors and nurses. It’s

like being cared for by my own family.”

Recently, Nancy learned that Marshall and UC Davis Health

announced an affiliation for cancer services, giving Marshall

patients access to the renowned UC Davis Comprehensive

Cancer Center. “My first thought was that this is great! UC

Affiliation with the UC Davis Cancer Care Network

Marshall’s providers and clinicians will have access

to continuing medical education opportunities at

UC Davis Health. UC Davis oncologists will also be

involved in the tumor board meetings for Marshall

patients, where diagnoses and treatment plans are

discussed and knowledge is shared.

“Our cancer center is an amazing community

resource for people going through the cancer

journey,” says Nancy. “And now the advanced

level of care, together with that special family

atmosphere, gives Marshall cancer patients the

best of both worlds.”

Marshall Earns

Top Hospital Award

Highlighting

its nationally

recognized

achievements in

patient safety and

quality, Marshall Medical Center

was named a Top General Hospital

nationally by The Leapfrog Group.

The Leapfrog Top Hospital award is

widely acknowledged as one of the

most competitive awards American

hospitals can receive. The Top

Hospital designation is bestowed

by The Leapfrog Group, a national

watchdog organization of employers

and other purchasers recognized

as the toughest standard-setters for

healthcare safety and quality.

“In the past year Marshall has

encouraged staff and providers to

identify and report more safety risks

prior to an incident occurring using

the online Marshall Patient Safety

Alert system and leadership follow

ups to improve safety processes

before an issue arises,” says Cindy

Rice, RN, Chief Nursing Officer. “We

also look for trends in safety issues

during daily nursing huddles and

formed a Quest for Zero committee

which focuses on patient safety,

including the prevention of patient

falls and hospital acquired pressure

injuries.”

The quality of patient care across

many areas of hospital performance

is considered in establishing

the qualifications for the award,

including infection rates, surgery,

maternity care, and the hospital’s

capacity to prevent medication and

other errors. The rigorous standards

are defined in each year’s Top

Hospital Methodology.

We are pleased to recognize

Marshall as a Top Hospital this

year,” said Leah Binder, president

and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.

“Even with the continued strain of

the COVID-19 pandemic, Marshall

has demonstrated an extraordinary

dedication to excellent health

care in El Dorado County. We

congratulate the board, leadership,

staff and clinicians who put their

patients first.”

To qualify for the Top Hospitals

distinction, hospitals must rank

top among peers on the Leapfrog

Hospital Survey, which assesses

hospital performance on the

highest standards for quality and

patient safety. To see the full list of

institutions honored as 2021 Top

Hospitals, visit www.leapfroggroup.

org/tophospitals.

In addition, Leapfrog recently

released Hospital Safety Grades for

nearly 3,000 hospitals nationwide,

giving Marshall an “A.” This

grade is based on how well we

prevent medical errors, accidents,

injuries, and infections that kill

or harm patients and reflects our

performance on more than 30

evidence-based measures of patient

safety, including postoperative

sepsis, blood leakage, and kidney

injury.

OTHER NEWS

Choosing Health Through

Weight Loss Surgery

SPECIAL AD SECTION

For the first time in

many years, Michelle

Soto is looking

forward to wearing

spring and summer

clothes. The difference

this year? She’s lost

almost 80 pounds.

For most of her life, Michelle was thin

and fit but once she had her first of three

daughters, she noticed the weight getting

harder and harder to shed. She decided

she needed medical assistance to lose the

175 pounds she’d gained over the years.

She started with Marshall Medical Center’s

team of registered dietitians.

After trying multiple regimens, Michelle

was unable to lose weight on her own. She

even stumped her nutritionist by managing

to gain weight on an all-broth diet. It was then

she decided it was time to look into bariatric

surgery.

Michelle has always had a fear of medical procedures, but

she knew she had to try to overcome that in order to get the

help she needed. “I knew the only option was surgery but I

was very nervous about it,” she says.

She recounts her first meeting with Dr. Ryan Lussenden,

Marshall’s bariatric surgeon: “I don’t know if it was his voice

or his confidence but I just felt comfortable immediately.

After the initial conversation, I was ready to go. I told him I

was ready to have my surgery tomorrow.”

Dr. Lussenden’s advice for those considering the surgery

includes doing your research. “Talk to friends and family.

Reach out to people who have had the surgery. Be

prepared for three to six months of preparation before

surgery and be aware that it’s a lifetime of changing

behaviors. It’s not over once the surgery is complete.”

In the months before surgery, Michelle took nutrition

classes, followed by the bariatric surgery classes. As

part of the program, she also started seeing Marshall

psychiatrist, Dr. Maisha Correia.

On the day of the surgery, Michelle was feeling anxious.

She was comforted by a medical assistant who came in

and held her hand until she went under anesthesia. “I

understand these are medical professionals and they need

to handle their business. But they all really do treat you like

family. It was really comforting for me to have that support,”

shared Michelle.

Michelle followed the strict instructions when she returned

home from the hospital. “Patients are usually in the hospital

for two nights,” explained Dr. Lussenden. “They typically

experience pain for two to three days following surgery

and we recommend they take two to three weeks off work

to recover.” Adding, “because the procedure is done with

the assistance of a surgical robot, the recovery process is

usually short and smooth.”

In the months after surgery, Michelle has found new

energy and has become known in her support group as

“the workout queen,” hitting the gym six days a week. She

abides by all the guidelines to maximize her results. She’s

also working with Dr. Tarandeep Kaur, of Marshall Family

Medicine in El Dorado Hills, who specializes in medical

weight loss, to monitor her ongoing progress.

Seven months after surgery, Michelle has lost nearly 80

pounds. “The most dramatic weight loss will be in the first

nine months after surgery and many patients will see a

plateau around 18 months,” explains Dr. Lussenden.

With the support of her doctors, Michelle found optimism

and a focus on health. She reminds everyone who is

considering taking this drastic step, “You’re a beautiful

person, no matter what the scale says. This program isn’t

just about weight loss, it’s about a healthier you.”

Kitchen 747

“

…the steaming meatballs

on polenta at the

next table gave us a

tremendous sense of

FOMO—and a good enough

reason to possibly make

the trek out here again.

”


Meatballs with Polenta

Tucked away in a quiet Roseville neighborhood is a hidden

gem for beer, craft cocktails, and pizza lovers alike. While

Kitchen 747 might be off the beaten path, the charm of the

modern brewery-inspired watering hole has created a real

buzz.

The restaurant was packed with lines of people as we

checked in and sat at the bar. With over 30 beers on tap, an impressive

wine selection, and plenty of craft cocktails, you won’t go thirsty here.

There’s even a large selection of delicious

mocktails for those who choose not to

imbibe.

After being seated, we ordered the

garlic parmesan fries, not suspecting an

overflowing plate with fresh, hot fries

and tons of pungent garlic that was easily

enough for four people to share. Although

the fries were nothing to complain about,

the steaming meatballs on polenta at the

next table gave us a tremendous sense

of FOMO—and a good enough reason to

possibly make the trek out here again.

Our server, Nicole, who was excited to

talk about Kitchen 747, recommended the

Garlicky Steak sandwich: a thinly sliced

ribeye-stuffed sandwich with provolone,

garlic butter, and a delicious au jus on the

side. At first bite, it was no wonder that

this was already the top seller at the newlyestablished

restaurant.

To balance out our garlic-inspired

choices, we ordered the Chilton combo.

This specialty pizza came stacked with

mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, red onions,

bell peppers, jalapeños, and mushrooms

atop their savory house red sauce.

As we enjoyed our meal, Nicole talked

us through a bit of the facility that’s fully

equipped to host some epic events. The

rooftop bar overlooks the main patio

where you can play corn hole and enjoy

one of several cozy fire pits. There’s even

room for shuffleboard and ping pong.

All in all, there’s enough space

to comfortably host up to 170

people.

The space itself is enormous

and there wasn’t an empty table

in sight. The noisy crowd may

not make this the best spot for

a quiet date night but it does

check all the boxes for a casual

night out or a fun meetup with

friends.

Overall, while the food was

not groundbreaking, it was

exactly what you wanted it to be.

The portions were enough to

last for two meals (and was just

as delicious later!), the pizza was

on par with any craft pizzeria,

the sandwich was one of the

better ones we’ve had recently,

and the eclectic drink menu

Oh Nash + Tender, you had me at Hot Chicken & Waffle. My mouth is watering

just as I write this. Close your eyes as I describe this divine dish. Wait, that’s

not possible since you’re reading. So, keep reading and picture a hot, crisp

waffle cut into four pieces. Can you smell the fresh, buttery waffle? Next to

that, picture a crisp, juicy chicken tender. Here’s the cool thing: You choose the

heat (spice) level of your chicken. If you’re like me, you can take your chicken

“mild.” If you’re like my husband, you can take it “hot.” And if you’re really into

heat, you can go with “XTRA HOT—Call the Firefighter” or “STUPID HOT—

WTF.” (That last one requires a waiver and you must eat it in the restaurant.)

Alongside the dish is tasty coleslaw, sweet syrup, and a house-made special

sauce. Their menu has a variety of chicken dishes including a Hot Chicken

Slider, Hot Tender Salad, Nash + Tender Fries, and a Waffle Sandwich. That last

sandwich consists of a waffle crust, chicken tender, mac n’ cheese, coleslaw,

pickles, and of course, that amazing special sauce. And they’ve got a secret

menu, too, which includes the Nashrito: A breakfast burrito filled with

chicken (duh), coleslaw, mac ’n’ cheese, eggs, fries, and special sauce. Nash +

Their two restaurants in Folsom & El Dorado Hills

ingredients plus fresh vegetables and meats

purchased daily. Many of their healthy and delicious

dishes like Pad Thai, Tom Yum, Papaya Salad, Spring

Loking for great Mexican cuisine in Folsom? There is a

reason Mexquite has been named the region’s #1 Mexican

restaurant for 15 years in a row – it’s the food!

Offering a vast menu of traditional dishes, Mexquite’s light

shines brightest with their Sinaloa regional specialties such as

Huachinango, a dish featuring shrimp and red snapper saute’ed

with mushrooms, jalapenos, onions and tomato sauce. Also not

to be missed are the chicken mole’ enchiladas. A close friend

happens to be a bit of a mole’ connoisseur and tells me that

Mexquite really gets it right!

Offering Happy Hour Monday through Friday, and a great

weekend breakfast menu (try the Chilaquiles Poblanos!). The

atmosphere is always lively and the beautiful outdoor patio is a

great place to unwind after the long workday.

Upon being seated you are greeted to a basket of chips and

salsa. The only way to describe this salsa would to call it

addicting – made fresh daily, Mexquite salsa, like all the dishes,

make the perfect To-Go item for parties, football watching or

anytime you feel like eating award winning Mexican fare.

Last but certainly not least – The margaritas are made with

agave, lime juice and tequila – all natural and arguably, the best

in town!

Come see for yourself why Mexquite is voted the best of the best,

year after year!

9 IRISH-INSPIRED EATS AND DRINKS

by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH

Whether you’re

proudly Irish or are

simply looking for

some amazing bites

and booze, these

offerings are sure

to get you into the

Paddy’s Day spirit.

Irish Mule

Fans of the Moscow mule

will enjoy this fun twist on

a classic drink at Bar 101

Eats & Drinks. Jameson

Irish whiskey and lime meet

Bundaberg ginger beer in

this spirited cocktail. The

ginger beer is a welcome

hit of sweetness and a nice

accompaniment to the spicy,

nutty Jameson. Oh, and it’s

served in a copper mug just as

you’d hoped for. Cheers!

STYLE Magazine Blackthorn

This take on an Irish Blackthorn is for our readers to make

in the comfort of their own homes! Grab a shaker with

ice and add an ounce of Wheel House Absinthe Verte from

Gold River Distillery along with two ounces of any

Irish whiskey you like. Then, add two dashes of Angostura

Bitters (available at any liquor store), a quarter-ounce of

dry vermouth, and shake. Strain into a glass with ice or a

champagne flute—depending on how fancy you’re feeling!

Tasting notes of black licorice, earthy olives, and malty

sweet oak with a smooth, warm finish await you.

Fish and Chips

Although corned beef is a St. Patrick’s Day must-have, fish and

chips also have a seat at the feasting table. The Independent

Restaurant and Bar offers juicy, flaky pieces of cod which

are breaded in a tempura batter that’s made better with hard

cider. House-made slaw and a creamy garlic remoulade are served

alongside the hot and crispy fish. You’ll also get your choice of

“chips” i.e. potato fries or turnip fries to round out the dish.

Irish Coffee

Warm up instantly with

this quintessential Irish

drink at C. Knight’s

Steakhouse that starts

with a special Louis the XIV

Goldminer Reuben

Corned beef that’s smoked in-house with hickory chips is

the real star of the show at 36 Handles Public House.

The succulent meat is sliced thin and topped with your

choice of Swiss or provolone cheese, sauerkraut, plus

a creamy Russian dressing. It’s all piled high on grilled

marble rye and comes with your choice of salad or housecut

fries. If you work up a thirst, a blonde wheat or amber

ale will create a perfect pairing with your sandwich.

French Roast from nearby

Tea Xotics. Smoky, rich,

and surprisingly smooth

as far as French roasts go,

the coffee gets a healthy

splash of Bushmills Irish

whiskey—a more mellowtasting

spirit that doesn’t

overpower the coffee. This

pick-me-up is then topped

off with freshly whipped

cream for extra flair.

Adult Beer Float

When you can’t decide between a nice, frosty

beer and a deliciously creamy dessert, have

the best of both worlds with an adult beer

float from Wally’s Pizza Bar. Belching

Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Nitro Stout is

poured over two scoops of vanilla bean ice

cream. An extra delicious dose of sweetness is

added to the top with caramel and chocolate

drizzles, whipped cream, and cinnamon sugar

buñuelos (thin fried dough fritters).

Irish Reuben Fries

Fancy the taste of a Reuben but have a serious hankering

for fries? The offering at The Boxing Donkey is the

perfect marriage between the two. House-made corned beef

is enhanced by Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand

Island dressing, and sits atop a generous bed of French

fries. Tater tots can be used in place of fries or you can

even make them “Irish nachos” by subbing in kettle chips.

300 Lincoln Street, Roseville, 916-797-3665, theboxingdonkey.com

Cottage Pie

This comforting dish is similar to

shepherd’s pie, but is made with beef

instead of lamb. Familiar players such as

thyme, rosemary, peas, carrots, onions,

Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste

make up the base, but The Monk’s

Cellar sets their recipe apart with a secret

weapon: corned beef au jus that’s made

in-house. The merry mixture gets topped

with fluffy, whipped potatoes and hits

the broiler so that everything is nice and

golden brown before arriving at your table.

O’Malley’s Dark

Irish Red Ale

Ireland has a long history of

producing rich, robust ales

and this one by DarkHeart

Brewing offers quite

the homage. Described

as “dark, beautiful, and a

bit dangerous,” the ale is

produced in honor of the

legendary Irish “pirate queen”

Grace O’Malley. This easy

sipper has a bit of a dry

finish with notes of biscuit

and toasty toffee throughout.

Channel O’Malley’s fierce and

fearless nature with a round

of this 5.5% ABV ale.

Where We Live

LILY

LESSONS

1

Lilies have the longest in-vase

lifespan of any cut bloom. Discard

the pollen from their centers for

an even longer lifespan.

2

There are over 100 different

species of lilies, coming in all

different shapes, sizes, and colors.

3

When planted, they can develop

from a bulb or a seed and best

grow in groups of three to five.

4

Lilies have been historically grown,

not just for their beauty, but for

medicinal purposes and food.

They are non-toxic to humans but

incredibly toxic to pets.

5

These well-loved flowers are found

around the globe, from Canada to

Japan, and are one of the most

prevalent flowers in Europe.

“The beautiful spring came, and when nature

resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt

to revive also.”—Harriet Ann Jacobs
