THE PET STUFF PLACE Advertisement

The Pet Stuff Place Great Stuff for Pets, Naturally.

This community is special to us! Melanie and I know that what makes this community special are the people and the businesses. 2020 was challenging for these small businesses, we would like to take this opportunity to give them a platform to share their passion! Thank you for continuing to support them with us! Located on the East end of The Village Shops is The Pet Stuff Place, a locally owned pet supply store specializing in natural products from foods and treats to supplements. Lisa Lang started in the industry as an owner of a dog treat company for six years and sold those treats in the store. In 2019 she was approached to purchase the business, it was the perfect match, “After 30 years in the legal world I was ready to do something I love and believe in.” Today Lisa enjoys meeting your furry family members and loves finding the best solutions to keep your pet happy and healthy!

WHAT CAN CUSTOMERS EXPECT WHEN VISITING THE PET STUFF PLACE? The store prides itself on offering a variety of items for your pets. Lisa says when choosing inventory, “We believe and our goal is that all dogs and cats deserve to be healthy, happy and loved. We strive to provide the highest quality products to help our customers achieve the best care and nutrition. With a few exceptions, we are happy to special order items in if we do not carry them.” The Pet Stuff Place strives to be a full-service store for all your pet’s needs, using over 40 years of living in Douglas County as a guide, customers can also come to the store to learn about local daycare, veterinarians, homeopathic care and trainers just to name a few.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT OWNING A SMALL BUSINESS IN CASTLE ROCK? Lisa says, “It still has the feeling/way of Colorado was when I was growing up. People helping people, caring about each other and how much animals are cared for and welcomed and part the community.” The Pet Stuff Place keeps community as their focus supporting local events and initiatives. They also offer a customer loyalty program to show their ongoing appreciation, “Our customers are the best. The support that they have shown us through the last year has been amazing. How they care and love their pets as family. We would not be successful without the support of our customers.”

HELP SUPPORT THIS SMALL BUSINESS! The Pet Stuff Place is located at 858 W Happy Canyon Rd #145, Castle Rock, CO 80108. Please bring your pet by and work with one of the knowledgeable staff to find everything you need for your pet.

ing different occasions that bring us happiness, joy, and warm our hearts. Celebrations actually boost our well-being — and this is true for major milestones and daily wins alike. One of the main reasons celebrating is so important is because it reflects an overall attitude of gratitude and enjoying what we have, instead of focusing on what we don't have or only on what we want in the future. We made it simple. Our stories encompass stories around the things that make the most lasting feelings, good impressions and memories and stories around celebrating. So, I invite you to sit down, put your feet up, grab a blanket and read about how easy it is to host a last minute house guest. Tear the recipe out of the magazine on how to make a delicious treat for birds in your garden that need a little help fending off the upcoming winter months. Learn about some great bubblies that you can purchase for the next time you want to celebrate something big or small. Envision yourself in some of the most beautiful kitchens in homes in Castle Rock. Dream about the gourmet dinner you could cook, or the Thanksgiving gathering you could host, because the heart of the home is almost always the kitchen. And lastly, you don't need to turn on the Hallmark Channel to get your romance on. Read about a Second Chance Love Story that ended in with the wedding of their dreams. Everyone has an occasion this past year, big or small, that brought you joy! Cheers to you finding more reasons to love life in whatever the occasion.

Offering what they call clean, responsible dentistry, Station Dental works to constantly better their environmental impact as well as their impact on the human body and oral health. “We knew when we opened our first location next to a light rail station in Aurora that Station would be our name.” says Dr. Miranda Hutchison, owner of Station Dental. “Not only does the light rail symbolize a cleaner option for travel and the environment, but it conveys the idea of accessibility for all. By offering the highest quality and clean materials and using modern technologies, while still taking most insurance plans, we are able to offer the best dentistry to the most people.”

the blended family bouquet during the ceremony as a vow of bringing them all together. “We each chose our favorite flower to show our individuality and blended them together to create a beautiful bouquet,” Melissa explained. MELISSA’S INSPIRATION FOR THEIR BIG DAY: “My inspiration came from perusing Pinterest for ideas and getting inspired by all of the creatives. I love all shades of blue and think it’s a great color for everyone so I knew that would be a primary color. I chose Anthony a light colored linen suit to be a contrast and because he looks so handsome in light tones. The flowers with the white and peach colors are soft and romantic while making a subtle statement and adding to all of the color and beauty that surrounded us during the ceremony. Ellena Rinaldi who I worked with at Design Works made it all come to life. I would share color and inspiration ideas and she was spot on in making our dream wedding day come true.“ - MS PARTING WORDS: Melissa and Anthony wanted everything about their Second Chance at love to be very intentional. They spent years planning the most perfect day to celebrate their love. Their emotions surrounding a day that ended in what most would call a fairy tale. It was a wedding that promised the brightest of futures and second chances for the couple, inspiring all who attended to make lasting memories today and always. The Pastor for Melissa and Anthony’s ceremony summed it up perfectly, “ In golf it’s called a mulligan, in school it’s called a make-up test, in a game it’s called a do-over, in the Bible it’s called Grace and Mercy. By any name it’s the hope that life is not over and that we have a chance to begin again.” ~Pastor John Leach

AS WE START TO ENTER THE COOLER MONTHS OF THE YEAR, A FUN ACTIVITY TO DO WITH YOUR CHILDREN IS MAKING FAT BALLS FOR THE BIRDS WHO LOVE TO STILL SPEND TIME IN YOUR WINTER GARDEN AND YARD. This project can be made in a quarter of an hour. Fat Balls are a great way to keep your feathered friends happy and full over the winter months. It also encourages them to make a stop at your home when you hang this tasty source of energy straight from a tree. It’s also a great way to create a wildlife-friendly garden. These fat cakes are best used in the winter or early spring, as they’ll melt in warmer weather. Many of our native and migratory birds are fraught with challenges during this season – food, water and a safe nesting spaces, once abundant, can now be scarce. This is why doing all we can in these colder winter months to support our birdlife is so important. Giving our garden birds an energy-rich homemade fat ball is the perfect quick and easy craft. Did you know that the common small birds that can be found in our gardens at this time of year, and the colder weather can be incredibly tough for them. It is thought that on a single cold night, a robin can lose up to 10% of its body fat. Offering these birds a source of healthful sustenance and the opportunity to retain body fat is just what is needed. Fat balls are just a great way to feed the birds. Additionally, they also offer a great way to use up any leftovers that might otherwise go to waste – excess fat from your Sunday roast and stale bread in particular.

AN EASY HOME MADE PROJECT TO DO WITH YOUR CHILDREN

recipe

To Make your own Fat Ball, you will need one part lard and one part seeds and nuts. Melt the lard in a pan and add thee nuts and seeds while stirring. Then pour this into a mold, such as half a coconut. You could also dip a pinecone in lard or pour it over a toilet roll. Tie a string to the fat ball and allow it to harden. If you have some lard left over, you don’t have to throw this away. You can cut it in pieces and place it on a feeding table.

the accessibility to knowledgeable guidance had Dennis at a loss. He knew his bad eating habits weren’t good for mind, body or spirit, but he didn’t know where to begin to make changes. YouTube didn’t exist and he was not going to culinary school yet at this stage in his life. However, Prescott thought to himself, “I KNOW good food because I have literally traveled all over America, all over Canada, and into Europe with my music, eating great food and learning what I like.” CONTINUED >

FOOD & WINE (CONTINUED)

THE START

The St a r t

“Go to the library and borrow some cookbooks,” his friend suggested. Dennis went to a nearby library and borrowed three books only to have his friend ask why he chose those in particular. Dennis remembers saying verbatim, “I don’t know? The guy on the cover looks kinda good looking, and I feel like I could probably pull these recipes off, and he seems really happy too!” As it turned out they were three books by Jamie Oliver; it’s just that he had no idea who Jamie Oliver was at the time. Flash forward and Dennis’ first dinner-hosting experiment was made up of twenty people from the music studio, all sitting in camping chairs with beer koozies and makeshift tables in his apartment. “I remember at the time this moment of, okay, the food is on the table, it’s a stressful thing, and then everybody tucks in and they take their first bite, and there’s a moment of hush that kind of came over everyone; it got really quiet just for a second, and then everyone started talking and getting into it and I fell in love with food right there at that moment. I didn’t realize that you can create these beautiful experiential moments at the table in the same way that I did playing someone’s favorite love song. Knowing that that was a thing to me was the most fascinating thing in the world.” From that point on it felt like he was cooking constantly and he realized very quickly that he was actually better at food than he was at music — go figure. Dennis even got to the point where he was cooking so much that he started to forget what recipes he had successfully made, so he began a photo journal and started taking photos of all his completed dishes. The same friend who guided Dennis into finding his path to eating better foods asked, “Have you heard of this app called Instagram? It’s pretty cool, and I think you should download it.” And so it began like it does for most; Dennis began posting photos for the next few years, with every one of them being a food photo.

I f I c a n i n s pi r e mor e t i me a s a c om mu n it y at t he t a ble, t hen t h at ’s a w i n .”

Castle Rock Lifestyle | October 2021

He soon realized there was a “whole global food community who loved to share food stories.” “All of that was initially with no agenda, no intentionality; I just loved it and I wanted to share. I fell in love with feeding people.”

“If I can inspire more time as a community at the table, then that’s a win.” Regarding social media, Dennis’s professional advice is to check your DMs. A person who worked at Food & Wine Magazine at the time sent him a DM, asking if he would do recipes for the magazine, which turned into writing a monthly column. That experience helped him land a cookbook deal, which led to a wealth of TV and media publicity and Dennis feels he owes a lot of his success to that first opportunity with Food & Wine Magazine for taking a chance on him and giving him an elevated platform. Oh, and did we mention he is a self-taught photographer who now does all of his own food shots? This guy has drive. His drive and innate talents ultimately led him to the opportunity of a lifetime via another DM. This time, it was a Netflix executive producer who offered him the chance to work for two seasons on Restaurants on the Edge, a show where “three food and design experts travel the world to revive failing restaurants by connecting them to the local culture beyond their gorgeous views.“ What followed were 13 episodes over nine months where they traveled to and filmed restaurant revivals that included three in Canada, one in the continental US, one in Hawaii, and others outside of North America, including Hong Kong, Slovenia, Austria, Malta, St. Lucia and Finland. “I ate food and experienced new ingredients, and I grew so much as a chef just working on this show.” Dennis stresses what a spectacular journey it is to eat foods in their most natural state. “We can all eat a mango that you buy from a great grocery store, and then you eat a mango that you picked from a tree and you go, AHHH that’s what it’s supposed to taste like! And I think that’s what travel does. I’ve been so fortunate to travel and co-write The Chefs’ Manifesto for the world food program for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals,” which takes him to a lot of developing communities in places like Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

T r avel R ecom mend at ion s for Food ies “Slovenia borders Italy and Croatia, which is to say there are a lot of shared values in and around food; they have really great cheese, dairy, beef, pasta, but very few tourists, hardly any. So if you love Italy, that kind of specific travel and food experience, particularly Northern Italy, because you can see the Alps from where they are. It’s picture perfect, a beautiful place, and also where orange wine is from.” Dennis also highly recommends Costa Rica, Hawaii and Finland. “Most people love the idea of travel, but we tend to pick the same places when we travel, and there is nothing wrong with that, they are amazing for a reason, but when you get off the beaten path a little bit, you learn the difference between vacation and travel.” In his travels, Dennis is a huge advocate for supporting local businesses. “Everywhere that you live now you can access local goods. There are farmers markets everywhere. There are also stores that only bring in local products. Chefs understand that we can only operate with the actual heroes of the culinary world, who are our fishermen, our farmers, our producers and providers. Restaurants on the Edge is important and meaningful to Chef Prescott because it tells stories of hope and joy and redemption around the kitchen. Oftentimes the food space can be very stressful, but he believes that at the end of the day, people just want to spend time with other people that they love. One of the most common fears Dennis hears from people cooking and/or grilling at home is, ‘where do I start? I don’t know how to get going, so I just don’t.’ Rather than overcomplicating it, Dennis recommends cooking the things that bring you joy — things that are on a restaurant menu you can’t NOT order because you’re so pumped that those dishes are on there. Learn how to make those dishes and they will inspire more ideas and creations. “Find the things that you love. Take the stress out of food. Feed people because all they really care about is spending time with you. Bring joy back into the kitchen.” Dennis is also a @traegergrills Pro Team Ambassador. “Grilling is inherently communal. You talk to your neighbors, they smell it, they ask you what you’re cooking; the whole act of it is a community.” Ultimately, Dennis warns it’s all about the slippery slope of falling in love —

S c a n fo r t h e f u l l article online.

falling in love with a better, more meaningful lifestyle, new dishes, new ingredients and traveling to find those things. All of it turns into something that’s much bigger than you expected, but at the end of the day it’s because you fell in love with feeding people.
