We’re soon approaching our 22nd year of producing STYLE 

Magazine, and there are many people to thank, but I'll begin 

with the most important people: our readers. We’re most 

grateful for your support. 

Magazines can 

mean different things to different 

people—but, ultimately, a publication 

like STYLE is a composite of its 

partners, readers, and our coverage 

of the community. For over 260 

consecutive months, STYLE has 

strived to provide local information 

and original editorial content about 

the people, places, and businesses that 

make our region so extraordinary. 

Our success is always measured 

by reader satisfaction and their 

involvement with each month's 

glossy print publication. We continue 

listening and working hard to deliver 

a quality product to the community 

at no charge. Of course, being free 

is possible thanks to our ability to 

attract and partner with the best local businesses and their marketing dollars. 

We’re extremely grateful for these partnerships; it truly forms a beneficial cycle 

of “magazine,” “local business,” and “reader” that continues to benefit all parties. 

My husband, Kyle, and I became the new owners/publishers of STYLE earlier 

this year, after having worked for the founders 

and previous publishers, Terry and Wendy, for 

For over 260 

almost five years. Fortunately, they remain heavily

BREAKFAST •

LUNCH 

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN 

WITH STYLE? 

I started as an intern in March 2010 

(holy moly!). 

WHAT DOES YOUR JOB ENTAIL? 

What doesn’t it entail? A mix of issue planning, 

article assigning, writing, and editing; I also manage 

our freelance writers and staff photographer and try 

my best to ensure each issue’s editorial is error-free 

and engaging. There’s never a dull day in this role (or 

at this company)! 

BEST/FAVORITE PART 

OF THE JOB? 

The work perks (travel, products, event tickets) and 

flexibility can’t be beat. I also love connecting with 

our community and constantly getting to flex my 

creative muscles! 

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING 

OUTSIDE OF WORK? 

Spending time with my family and friends 

(preferably outside), working out (yoga and 

running), cooking, and checking out local breweries, 

coffee shops, and restaurants. 

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY— 

ANY KIDS OR PETS? 

I have a hilarious, kind-hearted husband—who doubles 

as my best friend—and two incredibly lively (and 

lovely!) little girls: Juniper and Phoebe. 

WHAT'S ONE INTERESTING FACT 

ABOUT YOU? 

I skipped second grade. 

WHAT’S THE NEXT PLACE ON YOUR 

TRAVEL BUCKET LIST? 

Kaua'i and Copenhagen! 

ARE YOU CURRENTLY BINGE-WATCHING 

ANY SHOWS? 

I can barely find the time (or energy) for TV, these 

days, but did recently finish The Bear; I always love 

an Anthony Bourdain (RIP) rerun (Parts Unknown, No 

Reservations, or The Layover). 

IF YOU HAD TO EAT ONE MEAL EVERY 

DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT 

WOULD IT BE? 

Veggie sandwiches (extra avocado and cheese, 

please!) or molcajete (if you know, you know). 

WHAT’S ONE ITEM YOU 

CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT? 

My yoga mat. A regular practice makes me a kinder, 

calmer human (just ask my husband)!

— Day in the Life — 

Paul Doherty 

by CAROLINE KINGS | photos by JYO BHAMIDIPATI 

Football season is well underway, and 

while we may be pinning our hopes on 

the Niners (once again), we shouldn’t 

neglect the high school teams on our 

doorstep. Folsom High School’s Bulldogs 

won their fifth state title in 2023 and 

are hoping for another this year. What’s 

behind their success? We asked head 

varsity football coach Paul Doherty. 

Tell us about your career in football 

and journey to coaching. 

I grew up in San Francisco, which is 

where I fell in love with football, after 

playing quarterback for two years in high 

school and competing against some of 

the Bay Area’s best teams. 

At the time (’96-’99), some big 

quarterback names were emerging— 

Danny Wuerffel, Tim Couch, Peyton 

Manning, and Tom Brady. My team would 

play at Kezar Stadium on Friday nights, 

wake up early for practice on Saturdays, 

and then find a TV to watch the Notre 

Dame game on. 

All of that—combined with my 

father's excitement and passion for 

college football, where he played 

quarterback—pushed me to pursue 

playing after high school. I doggedly 

sought out a school and landed at 

Menlo College (Division III). I played 

my first year for Doug Cosbie who 

became my lifelong mentor; he 

recognized my passion for learning 

and for the sophistication and strategy 

of the game and steered me into 

coaching. In 2006, he hired me to 

coach at Sacramento High School and 

introduced me to then Folsom High 

School coach Troy Taylor. 

I started coaching in Folsom in 

2018. My wife, Kari, and I moved to 

the area in 2020, and it's been the best 

experience for our young family! We 

have two incredibly active boys, Luke 

and Liam, in elementary school; Kari 

teaches at Sutter Middle School. It's a 

big deal that our whole family can be 

intrinsically involved in everything 

Folsom—and everything Folsom 

football—every day! 

What does a typical day look like? 

Kari and I try to share drop off at 

elementary, but I often get pulled into 

Folsom High School early for a variety of 

tasks or to wrap up the previous football 

day. After teaching three traditional PE 

classes, I prep for the fifth and sixth period 

football classes that prime the kids for a 

full practice after school. 

Depending on the day, we finish 

anywhere from 5-7 p.m., and then I 

transition to the youth field where I coach 

the junior pee wee team (including my 

oldest son!) alongside Jordan Banning, 

associate head coach at Folsom High 

School. I admit, it might be the best part

of the day, as my youngest can be found 

frolicking on the sidelines, and my wife 

is usually in attendance as the team 

mom. The littles provide a break from 

the intense nature of varsity football. 

It all makes for a long day—returning 

home at 9 p.m., only to eat dinner and 

start over the next day—but it fits in well 

with our family life at this time. 

You've had great success in recent 

seasons. How do you keep the team, 

department, and school focused? 

We live in a culture set by previous 

coaching regimes: Stay humble, stay 

hungry, and know that mature teams 

win championships. The kids want 

to get better, and clear, transparent 

accountability is the best medicine. We 

film everything at practice and games, 

so whether we’re coaching or correcting 

assignment, scheme, technique, or even 

body language, the feedback is usually 

well-received, as the kids are smart and 

can see it all for themselves in real time. 

What do you think is behind the 

success, aside from your coaching? 

The community. It starts from the top—a 

school district that prides itself on solid 

programs, education-based athletics, 

and other extracurricular activities, 

including football. The priority of balance 

for student athletes is made clear on 

campus by the principal and support 

staff in administration. The teachers and 

coaches are clearly at the heart of the 

program, but players, parents, sponsors, 

and community members all want to see 

these kids succeed and all have great faith 

in the direction we pull the team. It really 

is a team effort, and a K-12 program. 

What are your hopes for this season? 

I hope to create an incredible experience 

for the players, parents, and community. 

What’s your favorite restaurant? 

My wife and I try to make it to Scott's 

Seafood Roundhouse at least once a 

year. We also regularly indulge in Nara 

Sushi—it’s incredible! 

When you find the time, how do 

you relax? 

Time spent at home with my family 

is the absolute best. My wife is a 

regular at Powerhouse Fitness, and her 

experience there is the best thing for 

everyone in the house. 

Best perk of the job? 

The job is the perk!

Spotlight on 

Yen-Ching Chang 

by JENNIFER MARAGONI 

Born and raised in Taiwan, Yen-Ching 

Chang came to the U.S. to earn her 

Master of Fine Arts at the Academy of Art 

University in San Francisco, where she 

studied under celebrated artists including 

Zhaoming Wu and Huihan Liu. 

“I wanted to explore different 

lifestyles and languages in a new cultural 

environment while advancing my artistic 

studies and creativity,” she explains. “San 

Francisco’s diverse art scene provided 

a vibrant community and countless 

opportunities for personal and artistic 

growth. Immersing myself in this 

environment profoundly enriched my 

artistic journey.” 

Chang describes art as her life’s 

journey. She credits her mentor in 

Taiwan, painter and educator Yim 

Mau-Kun, for sparking her passion for 

painting, shaping her foundational skills, 

and providing lasting inspiration. As 

an art teacher herself, Chang says, “It’s 

incredibly rewarding to see young artists 

and adults discover their passion and 

grow in confidence.” 

An El Dorado Hills resident since 

2021, Chang (yenchingchang.com) also 

enjoys spending time with her family, 

exploring nature, reading art books, 

and watching movies. “These activities 

help me unwind and often provide 

inspiration for my work. I believe that 

connecting with nature and loved ones 

enriches my creative process.” 

A member of the California Art Club 

and Oil Painters of America, Chang’s 

work is featured in their shows, as well 

as at exhibitions throughout the country. 

You describe your paintings as 

“reflections and celebrations of life.” 

Please tell us more about this. 

My paintings are deeply inspired by 

the richness of everyday life and the 

scenes that touch me profoundly. I find 

beauty and meaning in the simplest 

moments, whether it’s the interplay 

of light on a landscape, the emotions 

and expressions of people around me, 

the vibrant colors of a still life, or the 

quiet poetry of everyday objects. Each 

painting reflects these experiences, 

celebrating the essence of life’s diversity 

and the narratives that unfold in ordinary 

scenes. It’s this connection to life that 

fuels my creativity and enables me to 

craft visual narratives that resonate 

deeply with viewers. 

How would you describe your style? 

I was mostly influenced by late 

19th-century artists, including Ilya Repin 

and John Singer Sargent. As a plein-air 

(outdoor) painter, my work has evolved 

to incorporate more impressionistic

When choosing a medium, I consider the subject matter I wish 

to explore and the emotions I want to convey. Oil paint holds a 

special place for me, due to its versatility and capacity to create 

rich textures that enhance the depth and vibrancy of my art. 

elements over time. Therefore, my style can be described as 

a blend of impressionism and realism. I aim to capture the 

essence and depth of my subjects through careful observation 

and expressive brushwork, creating dynamic and lifelike 

portrayals that reflect my ongoing exploration of light, color, and 

emotional resonance. 

You work in a variety of mediums—oil, gouache, 

watercolor, charcoal, and pencil—and on a variety of 

surfaces, including canvas, panel, and linen. How do you 

decide what materials to use? 

I love exploring different materials and surfaces—they each 

offer unique sensations and artistic challenges that keep my 

creative process dynamic and exciting. As an impressionismrealism 

painter, drawing serves as my cornerstone, enabling me 

to adapt to any medium once I understand its characteristics. 

How do you choose your subjects? 

It’s an intuitive process for me. I look for subjects that deeply 

touch me, evoking strong emotions or possessing compelling 

visual qualities, whether it’s a person’s expression, the mood of 

a landscape, or the simple beauty of a still life. The connection I 

feel with the subject guides my decision and fuels my passion to 

bring it to life on canvas. My aim is to capture their essence and 

explore their narrative or poetic potential through my artwork. 

What do you hope viewers experience through your art? 

I aim to evoke a sense of connection and reflection. I want 

viewers to feel the diverse emotions and narratives within 

each subject, to appreciate the beauty of everyday moments, 

and to discover moments of stillness and gratitude for life’s 

simple pleasures. My goal is nothing less than to touch the 

viewers’ hearts and inspire them to see the world with renewed 

simplicity, finding meaning in each captured moment, and 

experiencing a sense of peace and joy. 

You also teach art classes. Tell us more about this. 

I teach art classes to kids and adults at my atelier (studio) in El 

Dorado Hills. Kids’ lessons focus on nurturing creativity and selfexpression 

through various mediums such as drawing, painting, 

and 3D art. Lessons for adults focus on academic foundational 

learning for drawing and painting. I strive to create a fun, 

supportive environment where people can explore their artistic 

potential and develop their skills.

diagnosed cancer among women in 

the U.S.—aside from skin cancer. As 

advancements in research and treatment 

continue to evolve, so do the guidelines 

for screening and risk-reduction 

strategies. Considering October is Breast 

Cancer Awareness Month, we asked 

local oncologists and medical experts to 

share their insights on the latest breast 

cancer screening guidelines, advances in 

treatment, and the importance of getting 

a second opinion. 

SCREENING 

Elizabeth Morris, MD, chair of the Department 

of Radiology at UC Davis Health, emphasizes the 

importance of early detection. The United States 

Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently 

revised its guidelines, recommending that women 

begin breast cancer screening at age 40, a decade 

earlier than the previous recommendation of 50. “The 

goal of breast cancer screening is to reduce deaths by 

detecting breast cancer early when treatment is more 

effective and less harmful,” Dr. Morris says. 

This change in guidelines is particularly crucial 

when considering cancer disparities. While white 

women are slightly more likely to develop breast 

cancer than Black women, Black women are more 

prone to aggressive, advanced-stage breast cancer, 

and are often diagnosed at a younger age. They’re 

also 40% more likely than white women to die from 

breast cancer. To address these inequalities, Dr. 

Morris advocates for annual screening, especially for 

women over 40, to catch the disease in its early, most 

treatable stages. 

For women with dense breasts, who represent 

about half of the population aged 40 and older, Dr. 

Morris advises considering supplemental screenings. 

Dense breast tissue can obscure small cancers on 

mammograms, making it harder to detect the disease 

early. Techniques like breast ultrasound, contrastenhanced 

mammography, or breast MRI can be 

particularly beneficial in these cases.

Rashmi Ramasubbaiah, MD, 

associate physician at Marshall Cancer 

Center and UC Davis affiliate, further 

supports these recommendations. She 

highlights the American College of 

Radiology’s (ACR) updated guidelines, 

which now recommend annual 

screening MRIs for women with a high 

risk of breast cancer, including those 

with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation or a 

history of chest radiation. “MRI cannot 

replace a mammogram but serves 

as an adjunctive tool; each imaging 

modality provides unique means of 

cancer detection,” she says. 

TREATMENT 

Breast cancer treatment has seen 

significant advancements in recent 

years, offering new hope for patients 

at various stages of the disease. Dr. 

Morris points out that at UC Davis 

Health, cutting-edge technologies like 

digital breast tomosynthesis and a 

high-resolution 3D breast CT scanner, 

developed by their biomedical 

engineers, are enhancing the accuracy 

of early detection. 

“Once diagnosed, patients are often 

given a choice between mastectomy 

or lumpectomy, often with radiation,” 

Dr. Morris says. UC Davis Health is 

also pioneering minimally invasive 

techniques, including roboticassisted 

surgery and “all-natural” 

breast reconstruction, which uses the 

patient’s own tissue for reshaping. 

Targeted therapies have 

revolutionized the treatment of 

metastatic breast cancer, according to 

Dr. Morris. These therapies, tailored 

to the specific tumor type, can slow 

the growth of the cancer, allowing 

many women to live longer with the 

disease. Endocrine therapy, which 

blocks hormone receptors on cancer 

cells, is another critical component of 

treatment, particularly for hormone 

receptor-positive breast cancers. 

Dr. Ramasubbaiah echoes the 

importance of personalized treatment, 

noting the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors for 

high-risk hormone receptor-positive 

breast cancer and immunotherapy 

for triple-negative breast cancers. 

“Breast cancer treatment is highly 

individualized,” she says. “And 

we routinely do next-generation 

sequencing in patients with advanced 

cancer to tailor therapy based on 

personalized DNA test results.” 

Mari Williams, a breast/gynecological 

oncology nurse navigator at Dignity 

Health Cancer Institute of Greater 

Sacramento, highlights the impact 

of recent advancements, including 

genomic profiling, targeted therapies, 

and immunotherapy. “These 

developments collectively improve 

survival rates, reduce side effects, and 

enhance the quality of life for breast 

cancer patients,” she says. 

REDUCE YOUR RISK 

Reducing the risk of breast cancer 

involves a combination of healthy 

lifestyle choices and, for those with a 

family history of the disease, genetic 

testing. Dr. Morris emphasizes the 

importance of knowing your family 

history and considering genetic 

counseling if a close relative has had 

breast cancer. Women with BRCA1 or 

BRCA2 mutations face a significantly 

higher risk, with 55%-72% of women 

with BRCA1 and 45%-69% of those 

with BRCA2 developing breast cancer 

during their lifetime. 

Dr. Ramasubbaiah adds that 

stress management, regular exercise, 

a healthy diet, and maintaining 

adequate vitamin D levels are all 

crucial in reducing the risk of 

recurrence and improving treatment 

outcomes. “Survivorship is extremely 

important,” she says, encouraging 

patients to listen to their bodies and 

not hesitate to bring up concerns with 

their health care providers. 

Williams emphasizes the 

importance of regular screenings 

and self-exams, along with lifestyle 

modifications like maintaining a 

healthy weight, limiting alcohol 

intake, quitting smoking, and eating a 

balanced diet. “Breast cancer is often 

treatable and curable when found 

early,” she says. 

SECOND OPINIONS MATTER 

Given the complexity of breast cancer 

diagnosis and treatment, all three 

experts strongly recommend seeking 

a second opinion. “Patients face a lot 

of choices,” Dr. Morris says. “And it’s 

important that they feel confident 

they are being provided the best 

treatment options.” 

Dr. Ramasubbaiah agrees, noting 

that a second opinion can confirm 

the initial diagnosis and treatment 

plan or offer alternative options. 

QLARITY BREAST 

IMAGING 

QTscan—the first noninvasive 

breast imaging 

technology that provides 

a true 3D image of the 

breast’s microanatomy 

down to a few hundred 

cells without compression 

or harmful radiation—is 

available in El Dorado 

Hills. FDA cleared and 

more accurate than 

mammography and 

hand-held ultrasounds at 

identifying certain breast 

structures, the technology 

is especially beneficial to 

women with dense breasts, 

those who need additional, 

follow-up imaging after 

a mammogram, or want 

the assurance and peace 

of mind due to a family 

history of breast cancer or 

genetic predisposition to 

the disease. Learn more at 

qbi.health. 

Williams adds that a second opinion 

is particularly valuable when 

exploring access to clinical trials 

or specialized treatment modalities 

available at tertiary care centers. 

Breast cancer screening, treatment, 

and risk reduction strategies continue 

to evolve, driven by ongoing research 

and technological advancements. 

By staying informed and proactive, 

women can take crucial steps to 

protect their health and improve their 

outcomes in the face of this disease.

LOCATION: 

Pacifica. 

DISTANCE: 

5.7-mile loop. 

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: 

Moderate. 

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: 

This is a popular area for 

hiking and running, so 

you'll likely encounter other 

people while exploring. 

The trail—which has an 

elevation gain of 1,246 feet 

and takes approximately 

three hours to complete— 

is open year-round, but in 

the winter it's not unusual 

for some sections to be 

muddy due to rainfall. 

Leave your pups at home, 

and be aware of poison oak. 

With three connecting 

trails, there are a few 

different ways you can 

start/end your journey. 

Begin on the Weiler Ranch 

Trail from either San 

Pedro Valley County Park 

parking lot or Oddstad 

Blvd., and you’ll quickly 

come upon the start of 

Valley View Trail. On your 

right you’ll find a picnic 

area, horseshoe pits, and 

bathroom facilites. You 

can either continue on 

the flat Weiler Ranch Trail 

(out and back) or make 

your way up the Valley 

View Trail. On Valley View 

Trail you'll hike up then 

back down to Weiler Ranch 

Trail, continue out, and 

then pick up Hazelnut Trail 

on your right. From this 

starting point it’s all uphill 

with multiple switchbacks. 

You'll pass through foliage 

and take in a range of 

views, including Montara 

Mountain, the ocean, 

Sweeney Ridge, and the 

park's vast valleys.

Take a Hike 

Weiler Ranch, Valley View, and Hazelnut Trail Loop 

by GARY ZSIGO 


This loop is home to 

wildflowers, including 

California blackberry, coyote 

mint, and sticky monkey 

flower; mule deer; and 

various trees, including 

walnut, buckeye, eucalyptus, 

manzanita, and coast live oak. 

Note: San Pedro Valley County 

Park charges an entrance 

fee. You can also park next 

door at the church or on the 

neighborhood streets located 

near the outside of the park 

entrance off Oddstad Blvd. 

WHY WE LOVE IT: 

Beautiful ocean and valley 

views, cute animal sightings, 

and well-maintained paths, 

plus a variety of coastal plants 

and trees to observe along 

the journey, make this trek a 

must. For trail runners, either 

section offers a challenging 

trek: Valley View for the 

shorter distance and Hazelnut 

for something lengthier; or 

combine them both to really 

blast those quads. Make sure 

to wear shoes with ample 

support and traction. 

FUEL UP: 

Grab a coffee, 

breakfast 

sandwich, 

smoothie, or acai 

bowl at Beach 

Monkey Organic 

Café 

(@beachmonkeyorganiccafe). 

REWARD YOURSELF: 

With ample outside (dogfriendly) 

and

Bone Appétit 

When it comes to canines and 

cuisine, more and more people are 

interested in feeding their pets a 

healthy, fresh food diet, as opposed 

to dry, highly processed kibble. 

Fresh food is usually refrigerated or 

frozen and provides complete and 

balanced nutrition for pets. Owners 

with incredibly picky pups have 

found fresh food to be a “winner.” 

Customers are so thrilled when they 

finally find a nutritious food that 

their dogs love and are eager to eat. 

Because of the huge demand, more 

and more dog food manufacturers 

are jumping on the fresh food 

bandwagon.

ASK THE 

EXPERT 


Q: WHAT’S THE 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN 

ITALIAN CUISINE? 

A: Northern and Southern Italian 

cuisine share many similarities, 

but their distinct regional 

characteristics largely stem from 

the ingredients unique to each area. 

Northern Italian cuisine is driven by 

the land, which is ideal terrain for 

raising cattle, sheep, goats, and boar. 

As a result, dishes containing meat, 

such as stews and steak, are mainstays 

in many of the meals. Salami and ham, 

including prosciutto, are also primary 

ingredients that are derived from 

livestock. The North is also known 

for its cheeses, such as pecorino, 

gorgonzola, and grana Padano; 

therefore, cheese-based sauces are 

more prevalent in this region. 

Southern Italian cuisine is driven by 

the sea. Due to its proximity to the 

water, fish—such as cod, calamari, 

and sea bass—are used in many 

dishes. The sunny climate also 

provides ideal conditions to grow 

fresh herbs and vegetables. As a 

result, olive oil is used as a staple 

instead of butter, and tomato-based 

sauces are found more frequently 

than cheese sauces.

@yogacreatives_gb 

Services or products you offer: Innovative 

classes—including vinyasa, slow flow, 

yin, barre, sculpt, and family yoga—and 

workshops with caring, welcoming 

instructors in a gorgeous setting. We also 

sell yoga mats, bags, towels, and fitness 

accessories, such as barre socks with grip; 

and offer a comfy lobby to decompress in 

with snacks and tea. 

What you enjoy most about your 

profession: I enjoy the “aha” moments of 

helping people realize they’re stronger than 

they think. I love the sense of community 

and joy that cultivating a studio brings! 

Fun facts about your company: We have 

Japanese toilets with a remote control to 

customize your experience (it’s remarkably 

refreshing!) in addition to an orchid corner: if 

your orchid is out of bloom, we will care for it/ 

feed it until it blooms again. We may also be 

the only yoga studio around equipped with 

Japanese katanas (I practice iaido, so our studio 

doubles as a dojo). 

You started your business, because: I’ve 

been doing yoga since before it was trendy 

and trained in many different styles, so 

I’m able to meet students where they are. I 

opened this business as a place where people 

don’t just “do yoga” but can learn more about 

yoga, breathing, and meditation, while going 

deeper into the finesse of their poses and 

trying on exciting variations safely. I also 

wanted a place that felt less like a fitness 

studio and more like a Zen temple with 

opportunities for connection and exploration. 

Last big purchase: Zebra brand flooring for 

the studio. It’s a classic Japanese tatami-style 

and makes our room sound and feel softer 

than hardwood; plus, it’s easier on people’s 

knees, is antimicrobial, and is the official 

recommended flooring of Yoga Journal. 

Everybody loves it! 

Favorite local restaurant: The Chef’s Table 

serves outstanding food in an unpretentious 

way. Their personal style of service is really 

comforting; they’re confident, cool, and 

always make me smile. 

When not working, you can be found: On 

stage singing at local music venues or at 

weddings in the wine country with my cover 

band Stereotype (stereotype916.com). 

You love living here, because: I’ve lived all 

over the world, but this is where I found 

home. It’s such a wonderful place—with so 

much to do and so much natural beauty. 

The Granite Bay community is especially 

friendly and filled with people who have 

lived other places but found “home” here, 

too. Community is my love language.

recognition of our hard work but a testament to the fact that we

Our sons, Jake (24) and Josh (20), have grown up with Blind Spot 

as a cornerstone of their lives. They have never known a day 

when this business wasn’t part of our family’s journey. 

As the owner and a mother, I am profoundly grateful for the 

opportunities that have come our way. Thomas and I work 

seamlessly together, taking pride in our achievements. Our 

sons embody incredible integrity and a deep understanding 

of community values. And we wouldn’t be who we are without 

the Blind Spot design and installation teams! They share this 

commitment, delivering work they can be proud of every day. 

And let’s not forget our clients, who enjoy exceptional 

Hunter Douglas window coverings and often share their 

experiences with their own families. This is the heart of our 

business: a community rooted in family values and dedicated 

craftsmanship. Thank you for being a part of our extended 

family and for helping us achieve this milestone!"

Save or Splurge? 

MONEY-WISE MAKEOVER 

As any home professional worth their 

salt will tell you, creating a budget is the 

first step in any home project. And unless 

you’re working with unlimited funds, it’s 

highly likely that compromises will have 

to be made along the way. This is why you 

should create a priority list—writing down 

all the things you “need” and all the things 

you “want,” then ranking them in order of 

importance. Getting clear on what’s most 

important to you and what you’re willing to 

compromise on from the outset prevents 

you from making snap decisions you 

might regret down the road. 

With that said, when it comes to 

stretching your budget, knowing when 

you can pinch pennies and when you can’t 

is invaluable. That’s why we asked local 

professionals across various trades to share 

their expert advice on where to save and 

where to splurge. 

LANDSCAPING 

The Expert: Sheri Burke, Owner, Xscape 

Gardens, xscapegardens.com 

by NELLY KISLYANKA 

SAVE: One-gallon plant pots. 

Why? If there’s a choice between buying 

three-gallon versus one-gallon size plants, 

buy the one-gallon options, as plants will 

reach the three-gallon size within one to 

two growing seasons. 

SPLURGE: Outdoor pots. 

Why? A pot should act as a focal point, 

whether it’s displayed solo or alongside a 

cluster of pots of the same color. Designing 

with a big pot (minimum two-feet wide and 

two-feet-tall) allows you to install at least 

five to seven plants for a stunning display. 

A cluster of pots (minimum 16-inches 

wide and 18-inches tall) allows the same 

opportunity but uses up more space. 

KITCHEN 

The Expert: Susan Parker, Kitchen & 

Bath Designer Specialist, Kitchen Mart, 

kitchenmart.com 

SAVE: If you don’t want to change the 

layout of your kitchen and the cabinets 

are in good condition, reface them 

instead of purchasing new. 

Why? You’ll save money and time, and 

many convenience items can be changed 

or added within the existing footprint 

for improved use of space (i.e., trash and 

recycle centers, soft-close drawers and 

doors, full extension drawers, docking 

stations, and turntables). You’ll have a new 

kitchen without the expensive price tag. 

SPLURGE: Functional design. 

Why? If you have a pinch point 

in your home—a place where 

there’s often lots of traffic—the 

space can feel closed in, even 

when there's only one person in 

it. Other times, there might be 

an area where everyone seems

fix roads and potholes, alleviate road congestion, and protect 

our quality of life.

Why? Steam showers are a great way to 

have something at home for self-care and

also wonderful for your skin and for

SAVE: Area rugs. 

Why? For active families or those with 

pets, area rugs are a smart commodity 

to save on, as they receive ample use and 

it’s likely they’ll be spilled on. 

SPLURGE: Custom upholstery seating. 

Why? To ensure maximum comfort and 

quality that will last for many years to 

come, custom upholstery is a big-ticket 

item that’s well worth the splurge.

SAVE: Curtains. 

Why? There are a lot of affordable 

curtain options on the market today; you 

can get the look and feel you want, even 

at lower price points. 

SPLURGE: Architella Honeycomb 

Shades. 

Why? These are by far the most energyefficient 

shades and can reduce the 

solar heat gain into a room by as much 

as 90% in the summer and the loss of 

heat through windows by as much as 

80% in the winter. They also qualify for 

an energy efficiency tax credit of up to 

$1,200. These shades pay for themselves 

over time with the energy expense they’ll 

save you and the tax credit.

Sette Pasta House 

by RYAN MARTINEZ | photos by JYO BHAMIDIPATI 

Pesto Casarecce 

Paul Jansen 

Restaurateur—and 28-year military 

veteran—Paul Jansen has escalated 

from four to seven. As the founder of Fourk 

Kitchen, where everything on the menu is 

delivered as a four-course meal, the chef 

and owner’s newest venture, Sette Pasta 

House, has followed the numerical suit. With 

a simple belief that complexity decreases 

consistency, Sette Pasta House serves seven, 

incredibly well-executed mains: five pasta 

dishes made from fresh, handmade pasta 

daily, and two rotating specials. 

When my family and I walked in the 

door and Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” was 

playing, I knew I was going to dig the vibe. 

After being seated by our server, Casey, who 

was amazingly attentive, she explained that 

“sette” means seven in Italian. We were also 

delighted to discover it was happy hour. 

While enjoying a nice glass of wine and the 

meatball skillet (both part of their happy 

hour offerings), we perused the menu. It 

didn’t take long. 

I’ve always been a fan of simplicity and 

often find that having too many options is 

somewhat stressful. My wife agrees, and 

we quickly decided on our entrées: lasagna 

Bolognese and pesto casarecce. 

A quick personal anecdote: My mother 

loves to cook; I mean, LOVES it. When I 

was in college, I would often come home 

to fresh pasta hanging all over the kitchen. 

This was my first experience with truly 

fresh, homemade pasta. The taste hits 

different and is, indeed, delectable. 

My first bite of Sette’s lasagna transported

HEADS-UP: Daily Happy hour from 3-5 p.m.; 

outdoor dining; lunch offerings include sandwiches, 

salad specials, and half portions of pasta; menu 

features seven (sette) mains, plus appetizers; 

everything is house-made, from the pasta to the 

ricotta; catering and private events available; 

pasta and sauces can be purchased to go 

me right back to the fresh pasta I 

experienced as a young adult. The Bolognese 

sauce was impeccable and, despite appearing 

like a modest portion, I found it to be perfect 

with the appetizer and salad we ordered to 

share. My wife, who is typically not a pasta 

fan, also gave it an emphatic nod of approval. 

The pesto casarecce was cooked equally 

well; the short noodles with curled edges 

and a groove down the middle (casarecce) 

were delicious, and the pesto had just the 

right amount of “presence”—it was subtle 

but noticeable. A little pinch of salt really 

brought it to life. 

For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, 

which was precisely executed. The cream 

was rich and decadent, the ladyfingers 

perfectly soft, and the dish as beautiful as 

it was delicious. I was hoping for a decaf 

coffee to tie it all together, yet the decaf had 

run dry; not to fret, though: The espresso 

used in the dessert satisfied my craving 

with a nice kick of flavor. 

Overall, the atmosphere at Sette is 

simple but elegant with a staff that’s 

amiable and attentive. The 

dishes—all seven of 

them—get major points 

for their handmade 

detail and flavor. 

When craving a taste 

of Italy, put Sette Pasta 

House top of mind. I 

know I will.

refreshing, fruity, and really (really!) good. Both drinks were almost too pretty 

to sip. We also tried a Boomba Waffle, which tasted more like a light, airy 

donut as opposed to a heavy waffle. It was served with a condensed milk 

topping, which provided the perfect sweetness, and fresh strawberries. 

Other food offerings include popcorn chicken, musubi (spam sautéed in a 

tasty sauce over rice and wrapped in nori), and four varieties of ramen—all 

curated by their in-house chef. Let’s get Boomba!

THE 

Hot 

LIST 



I’m someone who dreams of the temperatures dropping, 

just so I can eat delicious, warming soup. With our region’s 

hot, lingering summers, however, the wait can feel like 

forever. But soup lovers, it’s time to rejoice! Fall is here, 

and it’s time to feast. In honor of soup season, I rounded 

up some local spots where you can devour a big bowl 

of deliciousness—without having to pull out your clunky 

Crock-Pot or (not so patiently) stare at a pot on the stove. 

And since it’s October, dare I say they’re scary, spooky 

good? Try one or try them all—you can’t go wrong here. 

Thai Paradise 

Mexquite 

Who says coconut flavors have 

to be left behind when summer 

ends? At Thai Paradise, you 

can order their creamy Tom Kha 

Koong soup year-round. It’s fully 

loaded with juicy prawns, fresh 

Thai herbs, and tons of veggies— 

broccoli, eggplant, baby corn, 

bell peppers, tomatoes, and 

zucchini—in a warming, aromatic 

broth comprised of coconut 

milk, lemongrass, lime juice, and 

other top-secret ingredients. Dig 

in at either of their locations and 

prepare to be impressed. 2770 East 

Bidwell Street, Suite 100, Folsom, 

916-984-8988, thaiparadisefolsom. 

com; 4361 Town Center Boulevard, 

Suite 110, El Dorado Hills, 916-939- 

0389, thaiparadiseedh.com 

Mexquite in Folsom describes their 

popular Tortilla Soup as warm and 

comforting—what more would you want 

in autumn? Tender shredded chicken, 

queso fresco, and grilled corn get 

creaminess from avocado and crunch 

from tortilla strips. The chicken-tomato 

broth is topped with some cooling 

sour cream and a refreshing sprinkle of 

scallions. All the flavors come together 

seamlessly to make for a satisfying, 

satiating dish that pairs perfectly 

with mild temps and spicy margs (we 

recommend Mexquite’s roasted jalapeño 

margarita!). 25095 Blue Ravine Road, 

Folsom, 916-984-8607, mexquite.com 

North Fork Deli 

When you see Smoked Tri-Tip Chili on a 

menu, is there anything else you need to 

know? If you’d like the details, here they 

are—the tri-tip is seasoned then smoked 

to perfection. It’s added to a blend of 

spices, along with garlic, onions, peppers, 

jalapeños, serrano and bell peppers, 

and kidney, pinto, and white beans. A 

sprinkling of cheddar cheese and red 

onions bring both crunch and creaminess. 

All the soups at Auburn’s North Fork 

Deli are a labor of love and regularly 

rotate, so be sure to pop in on a Monday 

or Tuesday to ensure you’ll get your hands 

on a bowl of chili. If you’re really (really!) 

lucky, they just might have it available in a 

bread bowl. 886 Lincoln Way, Auburn, 530- 

745-4001, northforkdeli.com

Amore Mio Italian Bistro by Jyo Bhamidipati ©stylereadersmedia. Wally’s Cafe photo by Taylor Allred ©stylereadersmedia. 

Wally’s Cafe 

Amore Mio Italian Bistro 

Craving a “souper” good legume-based 

soup? Head to Placerville’s Amore Mio 

Italian Bistro for their Tuscan Soup (okay, 

the official name is “zuppa di fagioli alla 

Toscana,” but try saying that three times 

fast!). Each savory spoonful is filled with 

cannellini beans, which average 11 grams 

of protein per every quarter-cup; sausage, 

for another healthy hit of protein; along 

with a sprinkling of pecorino cheese. Fresh 

(never frozen) ingredients prepared with 

lots of love results in food that tastes good 

and makes you feel good, too. 451 Main 

Street, Suite 8, Placerville, 530-303-3148, 

amoremioitalianbistro.com 

Lentils are superstars of the legume family— 

just half a cup provides about 12 grams of 

protein, making them a filling choice for both 

veg-heads and meat lovers alike. Wally’s 

Cafe in Rocklin serves up mouthwatering 

Mediterranean and Lebanese dishes, 

including their much-loved Lentil Soup. It’s 

comprised of a homemade, flavor-filled 

vegetarian broth plus garlic, spinach, carrots, 

spices, rice (for even more heartiness), and, 

you guessed it, lentils. But the best part of 

this nutritious, delicious soup? They offer a 

complimentary bowl of it for those dining 

in. 2110 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 600, 916-580- 

0850, Rocklin, wallys.cafe


The smooth, creamy Wild 

Mushroom Soup makes for the 

perfect beginning to a multicourse 

meal at Hawks. Cremini 

mushrooms primarily make 

up the base of this puréed 

treasure, but whatever is fresh 

and seasonal is often added 

(think hen of the woods or 

chanterelles). A sherry winebased 

reduction (aka, cherry 

gastrique) adorns the top, 

followed by fresh chives and 

crisped-up shallots. 5530 Douglas 

Boulevard, Granite Bay, 916-791- 

6200, hawksrestaurant.com 

The next time you can’t decide 

between pasta and a bowl 

of soup, head to Visconti’s 

Ristorante. A Folsom mainstay 

since the early ’90s, their menu is 

full of must-try meals, including 

the incredibly tasty Tortellini 

Soup. Comprised of hearty 

ground beef-filled tortellini in a 

savory chicken-tomato based 

broth, the soup’s simplicity 

allows the pasta to shine. 

Whether enjoyed as a starter or 

lighter main, there’s one nonnegotiable: 

an order of garlic 

bread! 2700 East Bidwell Street, 

Suite 700, Folsom, 916-983-5181, 

viscontisristorante.com 

With eight ramens to choose 

from, Umi Sushi in Roseville is a 

noodle-lover’s paradise. Try their 

Shoyu Ramen, which consists 

of chewy ramen noodles in a 

soy sauce-infused broth, plus 

bamboo shoots, chashu (pork 

slices), ajitama (soft-boiled 

marinated egg), green onions, 

and spinach. It’s all topped off 

with dry seaweed and a pink 

swirled fish cake (naruto). If your 

heart desires even more kick in 

your bowl, a plethora of addons 

such as tofu, minced garlic, 

special spicy paste, and baby bok 

choy are available; or “make it a 

combo” by adding a California 

roll or gyoza. 107 South Harding 

Boulevard, Suite A, Roseville, 916-

Mix it Up 

8 CAN’T-MISS COCKTAILS 

| eat & drink | BEST OF 

Our region’s cocktail scene is overflowing with boozy, wellcrafted 

sips for all. Using freshly squeezed juices, housemade 

syrups, and top-shelf techniques, local mixologists 

create bold, beautiful concoctions that rise above the rest. 

Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a casual sipper, 

let’s raise a glass to these buzzworthy libations. 

The Independent Restaurant and Bar 

Ample time, research, and passion is put into 

every one of the unique cocktails at The 

Independent Restaurant and Bar, 

including Saint of Sin. Elegant and easy on the 

eyes, it incorporates Empress 1908 Indigo Gin 

and Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin for an 

herbal, aromatic, vivid touch, plus blackberry 

lemon syrup and ginger beer (both made 

in-house), and freshly squeezed lemon juice. 

Finished with elderflower and blackberry 

foam, it’s a captivating cocktail that embodies 

both creativity and sophistication. 629 Main 

Street, Suite 102, Placerville, 530-344-7645, 

independentplacerville.com 

A hybrid of a mint julep and a whiskey sour (two 

classic, crowd-pleasing cocktails!), the Four 

Roses Bourbon Smash from Poor Red’s 

Bar-B-Q is refreshing with a hint of Southern 

charm. Made by muddling mint and oranges, 

then shaken with ice, house-made orange 

Poor Red’s Bar-B-Q 

simple syrup, and Four Roses Bourbon, it’s light, 

bright, and boozy. Whether sipping it alongside 

the restaurant’s catch-of-the-day or strawberry 

shortcake, your thirst will be quenched and your 

palate pleased. 6221 Pleasant Valley Road, El 

Dorado, 530-622-2901, poorreds.com 

Can’t decide between a glass of wine or a 

cocktail? Order the Peachy Keen at Bennett’s 

for the best of both worlds. House-made 

lemonade is shaken with strawberry purée, triple 

sec, and sweet peach liqueur then strained into 

an ice-filled glass. But it’s the crisp pinot grigio 

topper that takes this easy, breezy beverage over 

the top. Light, refreshing, and visually appealing, 

it pairs equally well with brunch (omelets!), 

lunch (salads!), and dinner (fresh seafood!)— 

or can be ordered as a standalone dessert.

Fat’s Asia Bistro 

The Jalapeño Cilantro Margarita at Fat’s 

Asia Bistro is a vibrant mix of Casamigos 

Blanco Tequila, fresh cilantro, spicy jalapeños, 

lime juice, Cointreau, and a hint of simple syrup. 

Carefully crafted to provide a kick of heat with 

a touch of sweet, the cilantro adds a unique 

herbal note that makes it stand out. Guests love 

its bold, refreshing flavors, which pair perfectly 

with Fats’ Asian-inspired dishes like the spicy 

kung pao chicken and popular honey walnut 

prawns. 1500 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-787-

Craving a sweet, sophisticated 

sip that’s also boozy? The 

Watermelon Basil Martini at 

Sienna is one of the restaurant’s 

most beloved beverages for 

a reason. Made by muddling 

fresh watermelon and basil, 

the drink is then shaken with 

vodka, Cointreau, and housemade 

sweet & sour before 

getting strained and served up 

with a basil garnish. Almost too 

pretty to drink, you’ll want to

party started with the Espresso 

Martini at Milestone. In lieu 

of espresso, the offering here 

contains highly caffeinated cold 

brew, plus Tito’s Vodka and 

Caffè Borghetti (a sweet liqueur 

made with real Italian espresso). 

Shaken, double strained, and 

served up with three coffee 

beans, it’s always foamy, always 

smooth, and packs a serious 

punch that’ll keep you wide awake

Congrats to this month’s 

nonprofit of the month: 

The Petal 

Connection 

Volunteer Spotlight: 

Susan Forde 

What made you want to become a volunteer for 

The Petal Connection? I read an article about 

the organization shortly after my youngest child 

left for college. Since I had some newfound free 

time and TPC combines several of my favorite 

things—flowers, repurposing, community, and 

kindness—I knew it was the place for me! 

What do your volunteer duties entail? I’ve 

done all of the following at one time or another: 

picked up donated flowers from events and retail 

partners, harvested flowers, opened the shop, 

sorted and cleaned flowers, greened the cans, 

designed arrangements, been a shop facilitator 

to keep the day flowing, packed arrangements 

for delivery, mentored new volunteers, wrapped 

the cans we use for vases with burlap, washed 

towels, and delivered arrangements to senior 

living facilities. 

Is there training required? Yes. New volunteers 

get trained for the various jobs available and 

are paired with experienced mentors for their 

first several times to learn where things are, the 

routines, and the best practices for producing 

beautiful, long-lasting bouquets. 

What’s the time commitment? Most weeks I 

give four to five hours, and I try to be here every 

week, if possible. 

What has been the best day of volunteering 

so far? There isn’t any one day that stands out. 

Anytime I’m helping TPC is a good day. I usually 

work on Mondays, and I find that it’s a great way 

to start my week. In addition to working with 

beautiful flowers, I’m also surrounded by creative, 

smart, generous, fun people. I’ve made so many 

wonderful friends here! I get so much more back 

from this amazing organization than I give. 

What’s one of the biggest challenges? 

Days when we’re light on donations can be 

challenging. Interestingly, it’s often on those 

days that we get an unexpected donation from 

a wedding, another type of event, or from a 

generous home gardener. We never know what 

we’re going to get, but somehow, we always 

make it work! 

The Petal Connection 

(TPC) spreads kindness 

to hospice patients and 

seniors in our community one petal 

at a time. Donated flowers—often 

from local grocers, floral farms, 

weddings, events, and community 

members—are lovingly arranged by 

volunteers into beautiful bouquets 

and then distributed to those in 

need throughout the community. 

Receiving an arrangement lets the 

recipients know they’re loved and 

not forgotten—a simple gesture that 

makes a big impact. 

For more information, including 

ways you can donate or volunteer, 

visit thepetalconnection.org.
