My journey started as a fun-loving child that never wanted to stop playing sports. It then led me to become a high school athlete, a certified personal trainer, and eventually a semi-professional football player. Health & Fitness have always been essential in my life and now I am blessed to enhance the mind, body, and spirit of my patients and help them OPTIMIZE their lives.

LIFESTYLE LETTER

Home is where the heart is Home. So much contained in that one word. Home is our grounding. It’s our base. Our launchpad. Our refuge. It’s where we start and end each day. And while the particulars look different for each of us, the meaning and value it holds for all of us is undeniable. Author Wendy Wunder said, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” As we thought about home - we wanted to highlight what makes it special to our readers. That of course includes the food and drinks, the aesthetic and design, but most importantly - the people. We feel like the lucky ones as we got to learn more about the businesses and individuals that comprise this city and hope the small lens into their lives and work brings people in this community together. As you flip through the pages of this issue, we hope you’ll feel encouraged and connected to the people around you - in your city, neighborhood and most all of - your home. We feel proud to create a resource that is valued in our community and strive every month to deliver the value you expect. Thanks for letting us be a part of your home. Happy March!

Ever ything you need to know to create a breathtaking in-home bar

Having a home bar is cool. It is, however, not cool if the only thing you can offer guests is a couple of dusty bottles of liquor that have been there for years. What you have in your home bar can make or break your gathering, however informal it may be. A well-rounded bar should include at least one bottle of each of the six base liquors, which are the foundation for the majority of cocktails. Stocking a nice selection of these will ensure you can mix up almost any cocktail on a whim. If you feel like a whiskey cocktail tonight, you’ll be ready. When a guest asks for a brandy, gin, rum or tequila-based libation, you’ll be prepared to grab your shaker and mix up a drink.

VODK A Vodka has a clean, transparent flavor and is used for more cocktails than any other distilled spirit. Stock at least one “fifth” bottle of vodka, but opt for a handle (1.75 liters) if you like to entertain. • A good solid option like Titos is ideal for tall drinks like the screwdriver and bloody mary. • If you enjoy a vodka martini, spend a little extra for a top-shelf bottle as well. • Consider stocking a couple of flavored vodkas. In a traditional bar, citrus and vanilla vodkas are the trusted standbys. suggested glassware:

MAR CH 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/BO CA R ATO N

WHISKEY

RUM

A well-stocked bar has at least two bottles of rum. • A light rum will be your workhorse for most cocktails, from the tropical daiquiri to the timeless mojito. • As a secondary rum, take your pick of aged, dark or spiced rum. suggested glassware:

GIN

Gin can be quite floral and botanical depending on the brand, since it is made from very botanicalforward juniper berries. • If you aren’t an aficionado, a good bottle of a London dry gin is recommended. This is the most versatile and can work in everything from a gin and tonic to a dry martini. • From there, you can get adventurous - every brand is different and a wide array of flavors is available. suggested glassware:

TEQUIL A Tequila’s quality can vary drastically, so make sure to test them out before purchasing. It’s the key to the ever-loved margarita, though there are other fascinating tequila cocktails to explore as well. Generally, you’ll want to stock at least one nice tequila. • The most versatile style is blanco (or silver) tequila, and it’s the best option for a one-tequila bar. • For a little upgrade, add a slightly aged reposado as well. suggested glassware:

H AP PY H OU R | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

This is where things get complicated. Each whiskey has its own style and characteristics. In general, two bottles are a good start - but you can always add more. • For the most versatility, stock a bourbon and Canadian whisky. The bourbon will give you that robust whiskey flavor and the Canadian blends tend to be very smooth. • Rye whiskey is a great choice for everyday mixed drinks. Though some drinkers find it too spicy, rye is excellent in almost any cocktail that calls for a generic whiskey. If you enjoy classic cocktails, give rye a try for an authentic taste. • A bottle of Irish whiskey and a decent blended scotch are good complements to any bar. While they make excellent cocktails, they’re not as common or as versatile as the other styles. suggested glassware:

WHERE TO STOCK YOU R BA R : From specialty drink glasses, bar carts and cabinets, and fine liquor, know where to go to stock your bar. Fortunately, Boca has a plethora of national names with a lovely selection of bar furniture - from art deco to modern to transitional, as well as a wide variety of glassware to please any taste.

LIQUEUR S

Liqueurs are often used as flavoring agents that define a cocktail. On occasion, they are the only distilled spirits in a drink. Liqueurs come in every flavor you could want and a bottle can last quite a long time. Start with the basics and gradually add to your stock as you see fit. Amaretto: The almond-flavored liqueur is used in both fancy and casual cocktails. • Coffee Liqueur: White Russians and countless other cocktails rely on a bottle like Kahlúa. • Dry and Sweet Vermouth: Technically, these are fortified wines, but they’re essential for martinis. • Irish Cream Liqueur: Baileys is a popular brand, though there are others worth checking out. You can also stock another cream liqueur, such as RumChata instead. • Orange Liqueur: Used in countless cocktails, this one’s invaluable. Options include curaçao, triple sec, Cointreau, and Grand Marnier. suggested glassware: CONTINUED > MAR CH 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/BO CA R ATO N

ESSENTIA L N ON-A L C OHOL IC M I X E R S Mixers are non-alcoholic liquids that add flavor and volume to cocktails. The majority of these are likely already in your kitchen and easily found at almost any store. Many mixers will keep in your bar for a long period of time. Check their freshness periodically and pay attention to expiration dates.

ESSENTI A L J UICES AND MIXERS Juice is easy: pick up a bottle or two during your next trip to the store. Of course, it’s best to use fresh juice whenever possible. However, for everyday drinking, those bottles of ready-to-pour juices are very convenient. Lemon and lime are good ones to have on hand, while orange and cranberry and grapefruit juice will be less-frequent depending on your taste. Bitters, Simple syrup, sour mix and grenadine are among some key elements for many cocktails. To download a full list, scan the QR code below.

CON V E R SAT ION + CONNECTION This utterly breathtaking in-home bar could be a speakeasy - except it’s not - it’s in the home of an entrepreneurial couple in Leawood Kansas. When planning this space, they took inspiration from travels and places they had stayed and loved while navigating every detail. What was most important to them was providing a space where people could connect and have conversation. The lighting, the seating and ambiance were all key for the family in creating an intimate moment for friends to connect.

the Aluminum Company of America and was a genius who had done more to develop the production and use of aluminum throughout the world than any other individual. At the time he had a personal need for cash and decided to sell off part of his estimated 100,000 acres of land holdings in Florida. For this purpose the Arvida Corporation was formed, the name Arvida being an acronym for Arthur Vining Davis. Arthur Vining Davis, a true business titan, was diminutive, kindly, gentle and smiling. He took pride in the development of Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club. He dined, danced and beamed at the Club’s Inaugural Commodore’s Ball March 19, 1960, in honor of Milton N. Weir, Jr., the Club’s first Commodore. Milton N. Weir was named President of Arvida. Mr. Weir had been a Gulf Oil Corporation executive, and then a realtor in Pompano Beach. He participated with Mr. Davis in the organization of Arvida in 1958. Mr. Weir was a Yale graduate, a good businessman, pleasantly correct, well spoken, highly ethical, strong minded but not disagreeable, and thoroughly committed to doing things according to the highest standards. This was manifested in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club by stringent architectural and building specifications. These were set high, so much so that some builders protested they could not build and then sell at competitive prices. Utilities were underground. All roofs were to be white. Lot sizes were larger than customary in other comparable developments. Strict owner obligations were established by the Arvida controlled Royal Palm Improvement Associations. 723 home-sites were originally offered, later redesigned to a stated 742. Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club derived its name from the statuesque Royal Palms bordering Camino Real; the Club’s Blue and Gold colors are from the color theme of early Arvida sales brochures and advertising. These contained such phrases as “Florida’s most desirable homesites”… “Where contentment knows no bounds”… “The most desirable residential address in Florida”… “Quiet and unpretentious elegance”. Golf, yachting, tennis and the nearby attractions of polo and deep sea fishing were cited. The original Yacht Club and Country Club buildings, designed by Architect Robert Fitch Smith cost approximately $750,000. Architecture is termed Bahama-Colonial. Then the most modern Marina piers and docks were contracted for by Lyons-troup, In. for a cost of $108,000. The pool was completed in June 1960. Another longtime Arvida tradition is the Showcase of Homes, which is held annually in March to showcase the community as well as homes currently for sale. This 60-year tradition has been hosted by David W. Roberts for over 25 years! Today, Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club has evolved and grown along with Boca Raton. Whether you are looking for a great investment or quality of life, Royal Palm offers both, that is why it has remained South Florida’s most sought-after community for over 60 years. CONTINUED >

5 Hot Trends

in Kitchen Design A peek at what’s ahead: bold cabinet colors, statement hardware and swaths of stone.

ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY J.A. STENGER PHOTOGRAPHY

When designing your dream kitchen, it’s important to balance timeless features with elements that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not plan to remodel your kitchen each year (does anyone do that?), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t creative ways to keep your space feeling modern and fresh. We spoke with interior designer Brooke Cover about the trends in kitchen design she’s seeing this year, touching on everything from cabinet colors and lighting to tile and countertop combos she’s loving.

TA K I N G T H E C O U N T E R M AT E R I A L U P THE BACKSPLASH Although the iconic subway tile backsplash is timeless in its own right, Brooke says she is seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, but a marble backsplash and countertop also sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement.

WA R M I N G U P THE WHITE We doubt the classic white kitchen will ever completely go out of style, but trends show people are going away from the white kitchen and gray cabinets. They’re opting for white mixed with warmer wood tones, dark greens and blues. Some homeowners are mixing vintage in with the new and modern through butcher block islands or other unique cabinetry choices. Black is making a bold comeback in some kitchens, while others usher in warmth through painted islands or other darker contrast tiles in the bar area. You don’t have to leave behind the timelessness when you warm up your space if you opt for equally timeless black and wood-stained accents. If you want a quick refresh, consider adding pops of wood through cutting boards or other decor accents on countertops or open shelves.

HIDDEN STORAGE, VISIBLE APPLIANCES Gone are the days of it being a given to hide the fridge behind custom cabinets. Many brands of appliances are so beautiful and sleek these days, homeowners want to see them rather than hide them behind a cabinet facade. Small appliances, however, are another story. Custom cabinets and “appliance garages” aren’t going away anytime soon. Form and function make them a desirable addition to any kitchen. CONTINUED >

BOLD H A R D WA R E Mixed metals and sizes are having a moment in kitchens across America. Brooke says not to shy away from a variety of sizes of pulls and handles, depending on the drawer and door size. For instance, you may see a mixture of longer pulls on larger drawers and square knobs on smaller glassware cabinets - and that’s more than just ok - that’s recommended. As the heart of the home, kitchens shouldn’t feel sterile and hyper-coordinated - they should feel inviting and tailored to the space. Since no two kitchens will be exactly alike, feel free to boldly mix the hardware sizes and styles to the needs of your kitchen.

C O N T R A S T, C O N T R A S T, CONTRAST!

Brooke’s Pro Tip: I suggest viewing countertop slabs in person vs. a small sample piece because each slab has unique movement and colors. They are all so beautiful and works of art. Taking a trip to the warehouse will really help a client to understand the different types available and see the difference in the look of the material.

From painted and stained islands to dark lower cabinetry with bright white uppers and mixed lighting fixtures, contrast is the name of the game this year. You’ll see this juxtaposition between clean white and darker colors or even this year’s favorite - greens and blues - all over newly designed kitchens. You’re not breaking any rules by coordinating sculptural pendants over the kitchen island with more vintage-inspired gooseneck sconces over the standalone bar or a chandelier over the eat-in kitchen.

There’s nothing like the smell of warm, fresh homemade bread wafting through the home. This recipe is for Kindred restaurant’s famous milk bread, which practically has a cult following. Warm, buttery and airy, this bread is perfect for sandwich bread, French toast, burger buns, are just to devour right out of the oven!

directions: 1. Cook 1/3 cup flour and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until a thick paste forms (almost like a roux but looser), about 5 minutes. Add cream and honey and cook, whisking to blend, until honey dissolves. 2. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and add milk powder, yeast, kosher salt, 2 eggs, and 5 remaining cups flour. Knead on medium speed until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes. Add butter, a piece at a time, fully incorporating into dough before adding the next piece, until dough is smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 4 minutes. 3. Coat a large bowl with nonstick spray and transfer dough to bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

ingredients: • 5 1/3 cups bread flour, divided, plus more for surface (Kindred uses King Arthur) • 1 cup heavy cream • 1/3 cup mild honey (such as wildflower or alfalfa) • 3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder (such as Alba) • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast (from about 3 envelopes) • 2 tablespoons kosher salt • 3 large eggs, divided • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature • Nonstick vegetable oil spray • Flaky sea salt (optional, but shouldn’t be)

4. If making rolls, lightly coat a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan with nonstick spray. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and divide into 6 pieces. Divide each piece into 4 smaller pieces (you should have 24 total). They don’t need to be exact; just eyeball it. Place 4 pieces of dough side-by-side in each muffin cup. If making loaves, lightly coat two 9- by 5-inch loaf pans with nonstick spray. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and divide into 12 pieces. Nestle pieces sideby-side to create 2 rows down length of each pan. If making split-top buns, lightly coat two 9- by 13-inch baking dishes with nonstick spray. Divide dough into 12 pieces and shape each into a 4-inch long log. Place 6 logs in a row down length of each dish. 5. Let shaped dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size (dough should be just puffing over top of pan), about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375° F. Beat remaining egg with 1 teaspoon. water in a small bowl to blend. Brush top of dough with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until bread is deep golden brown, starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, and is baked through, 25 to 35 minutes for rolls, 50 to 60 minutes for loaf, or 30 to 40 minutes for buns. If making buns, slice each bun down the middle deep enough to create a split-top. Let milk bread cool slightly in pan on a wire rack before turning out; let cool completely.
