Style Magazine - May 2022
Starting the month off with a mighty bang is Cinco de Mayo that commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire (and is NOT their Independence Day which is celebrated September 16). We love a good party and never pass up the chance to have one. So, with that as inspiration, we bring you this month’s “30+ Local Latin American Restaurants To Try!” feature (page 85) that’s full of intoxicating eats that will guarantee a fiesta (definitely followed by a siesta!). While researching this article, we came across many other South American restaurants that warranted mention, thus expanding the feature to include Salvadoran, Brazilian, and other cuisines that will knock your socks off. Another holiday we can’t wait to celebrate this month is Mother’s Day (May 8). We all have our own ways of showing affection and appreciation towards our moms (or mother figures) on Mother’s Day, but as a magazine, we’ve come to love our “Get to Know” article each May that profiles some of the most magnificent mothers to grace our neighborhoods. Not a single one of them fails to inspire and warm our hearts, and this year’s “Mighty Moms” piece (page 16) is no less. If it weren’t already apparent, we’ve got so much good content on the following pages. So, grab a margarita (or any of the coffees in our “Hot List” department on page 102—if that’s more your thing), grab the family (including mom!), and make the most of May. Cheers and happy everything! —Tara Mendanha tara@stylemg.com

LIST<br />
Perfect Pair<br />
by EMILY PETER-COREY<br />
Peanut butter and jelly, burgers and fries, spaghetti<br />
and meatballs…sure those combos are classics, but<br />
we’re not ashamed to say we’ve jumped on board with<br />
the avocado toast and coffee trend! T his perfect combo<br />
combines a healthy, light breakfast with your choice of<br />
delicious bean juice. We plan on partaking in this trend<br />
for a long time and encourage you to try out some of<br />
these top spots.<br />
Zest Kitchen<br />
2620 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 1, Rocklin, 916-<br />
824-1688, zestvegankitchen.com<br />
With an all-natural and plant-based menu,<br />
you’re in for some feel-good grub at Zest<br />
Kitchen. Their Avocado Toast tops basil pesto,<br />
avocado, and sprinkles of red chile flakes, pink<br />
Himalayan salt, and black pepper on glutenfree<br />
sourdough bread. Enjoy it alongside<br />
a Mocha Moon which blends hot cashew/<br />
pumpkin-seed milk with raw cacao, herbal<br />
Dandy Blend (coffee alternative), and raw<br />
coconut sugar. This pair is truly delicious and<br />
nutritious.<br />
Kingdom Coffee Roasters<br />
Zest Kitchen<br />
Kingdom Coffee Roasters<br />
305 Iron Point Road, Folsom,<br />
kingdomcoffeeroasters.com<br />
Kingdom Coffee Roasters was founded on<br />
the idea that there is greatness within every<br />
bean and being. So, it’s no surprise that their<br />
Avocado Toast is great as well. A hearty slice<br />
of toast is topped with smashed avocado and<br />
lemon, minced garlic, and black sesame—simple<br />
yet harmonious in flavor. If you’re a quick<br />
coffee drinker, opt for their Cortado: four<br />
tasty ounces of espresso and steamed milk,<br />
split 50/50.<br />
