LIFESTYLE LETTER

Happy October! Like many of my peers, I left for college with no clue how to cook for myself. Despite having a very culinarily inclined family, I never took the time to learn from them. Freshman year consisted of instant ramen and late-night trips to the campus cafeteria. Not that the freshman dorms gave me much of a choice. But when my sophomore-year apartment afforded me the world’s smallest kitchenette, I knew it was time for a change. That summer, I asked my mom if she could share some of her recipes with me, and she welcomed me with open arms. We spent countless nights huddled over stovetops, breaking down the meals I was raised on. She shared culinary insights and parental wisdom in equal supply. I saw firsthand the passion and pride she took in feeding the people she loved. I was finally introduced to this entire part of her that I had never bothered to appreciate before. Now, my nights at college are filled with calls back home, exchanging healthy recipes and excitedly planning the meals we’ll make together when I return. Cooking has given me a new way to connect with my family and a new language to share with them. In the following pages, you’ll meet some of the people and places that bring our community together through food. This month, we visit our local farmers markets, explore healthy living with Mindful Wellness, discover a variety of local ethnic restaurants, and enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Derrick’s Grille at Black Gold Golf Club—where the views are every bit as impressive as the food. This October, I encourage each of you to consider the ways food connects us. Whether it’s a cherished family recipe or a beloved local restaurant, take a moment to appreciate the meals that have brought us together and the people who made them. Here’s to a fall of full stomachs and fuller smiles!

Derrick’s Grille pairs exceptional food and drink, genuine hospitality, and breathtaking views in a setting worth discovering.

Discover Yorba Linda’s Hidden Dining Gem 10

M UST SE E | FO O D + BEVERAGE

There are restaurants you discover by recommendation, and then there are those that make you wonder how you ever missed them in the first place. Set alongside the fairways of Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda, Derrick’s Grille pairs elevated cuisine and polished service with an expansive Southern California setting perfectly suited for leisurely lunches, decadent dinners, and memorable celebrations. The restaurant’s latest chapter began with the arrival of Executive Chef Ron Armendariz, who brings a fresh perspective to the kitchen. His dynamic take on the menu pairs beloved classics with flavorful new interpretations. “Bringing Executive Chef Ron Armendariz on board marked an exciting new chapter for Derrick's Grille. His vision was to elevate the dining experience by creating a menu that combines fresh, high-quality ingredients while still offering favorites our guests know and love. Long-time guests have embraced the new menu, while many first-time visitors are surprised to discover just how good the food is.” The appeal extends well beyond the menu. Derrick’s offers sweeping views of the course and a newly refreshed lake and landscape, creating an inviting backdrop from lunch through sunset, while the outdoor space offers sweeping views reaching toward the Pacific Coast. Though situated on a golf course, the restaurant has a character all its own, with a relaxed atmosphere that makes lingering feel natural. “Many first-time guests are pleasantly surprised to discover that Derrick's Grille is much more than a golf course restaurant. While we're fortunate to overlook one of Orange County's most beautiful championship golf courses, the dining experience stands on its own. One of the things we hear most often from first-time guests is, ‘I had no idea this was here.’ We also find that a lot of people still think Black Gold is a private club, so they’re surprised to learn that both the golf course and Derrick’s Grille are open to the public. That's part of

“You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy it, just someone who appreciates great food, exceptional views, genuine hospitality, and handcrafted drinks.” what makes Derrick's Grille such a hidden gem. You don't have to be a golfer to enjoy it, just someone who appreciates great food, beautiful scenery, and genuine hospitality.” The approach behind the kitchen is equally straightforward. Derrick’s is designed to make every visit feel worthwhile, whether guests are finishing a round of golf, conducting a business meeting, or simply settling in for dinner with a breathtaking view. “Our philosophy is simple: every guest deserves an exceptional dining experience, regardless of whether they're coming off the golf course or joining us specifically for a meal.” The full-service bar adds another dimension to the laidback, luxurious ambiance. Handcrafted cocktails, wine, and local craft beer complement the menu, while indoor and outdoor seating offer different ways to enjoy the venue. From an after-work drink to dinner with friends, Derrick’s strikes an easy balance between polished and relaxed. Beyond the dining room, the covered patio offers another way to take in the scenery. It is an especially appealing spot for an afternoon drink or leisurely meal, with the course stretching into the distance. As the light changes, the setting takes on a different character, making the transition from daytime dining to evening gatherings feel at once effortless and relaxed.

M UST SE E | FO O D + BEVERAGE

“What makes Derrick’s so versatile is that we offer something for everyone. You can stop in for a casual breakfast or lunch, meet friends for drinks, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset, or celebrate a special occasion with family and friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, but the food, service, and incredible views still make it feel special.” Derrick’s Grille is an opportunity for longtime Yorba Linda residents to rediscover a familiar destination through a fresh culinary perspective. For newcomers, it is an invitation to discover a restaurant that has become a distinctive part of the local dining scene. Looking ahead, the team plans to build on what guests already love, with a calendar that keeps the restaurant lively throughout the year. The appeal is simple: good food, attentive service, and a beautiful place to enjoy time with the people who matter most. “What excites us most is introducing more people to everything Derrick’s Grille has to offer. We’re always looking for new ways to make the experience even better, whether it’s seasonal menu items, new specials, special events, or simply providing great service, while keeping the warm, welcoming atmosphere our guests have come to enjoy.” Please visit https://blackgoldgolf.com/derricks/ for more information.

YORBA LINDA CERTIFIED FARMERS MARKET (SATURDAY 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM)

If your ideal Saturday morning involves fresh produce, good conversation, and a relaxed pace, the Yorba Linda Certified Farmers Market is hard to beat. Held weekly at Yorba Linda Friends Church, this neighborhood market brings together California-certified growers alongside local bakers, specialty food vendors, florists, and artisans.

it keeps things approachable—you can browse every booth, chat with vendors, and still be home before lunch. Seasonal offerings change throughout the year, so every visit brings something new, whether you're shopping for the week's groceries or simply enjoying a leisurely morning outdoors.

ORANGE HOME GROWN FARMERS & ARTISANS MARKET (SATURDAY 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM)

Orange Home Grown is one of Orange County's liveliest Saturday traditions. Set beside historic Old Towne Orange, the market pairs certified California farms with artisan food makers, local craftspeople, and a full calendar of rotating community events. Depending on when you visit, you might catch a chef-led cooking demonstration, get your kitchen knives sharpened, browse the Seed Lending Library, or bring the kids for the monthly Kids Club. Live music and educational booths add to the atmosphere, making it easy to linger long after your shopping is done.

BREA FARMERS & ARTISANS MARKET (THURSDAY 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

The Brea Certified Farmers Market proves you don't have to give up your Saturday to enjoy farm-fresh shopping. Held on Thursday evenings at Brea Place, it's designed for busy schedules, offering a convenient stop for seasonal produce, flowers, baked goods, and specialty foods on the way home from work. The market is smaller than many weekend destinations, but that's part of its charm. Easy parking, familiar vendors, and a calm atmosphere make it feel like a neighborhood gathering rather than a crowded event. It's the kind of market where regulars know their favorite growers by name and can be in and out with dinner ingredients in under an hour.

PLACENTIA CERTIFIED FARMERS MARKET (TUESDAY 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM)

Every Tuesday afternoon, the Placentia Certified Farmers Market brings new life to Placentia Town Center with around 30 vendors celebrating the area's agricultural roots.

It's easy to shop for everyday essentials while discovering something a little different. The market embraces a true neighborhood feel—vendors are happy to share what's in season, and it's common to see familiar faces returning each week. Small enough to explore comfortably but varied enough to reward repeat visits, it's an inviting midweek stop for shoppers of all ages.

B E T T E R C HOIC E S, L A S T ING R E S ULT S HEALTHY FOOD, MOVEMENT, AND GLP-1 HELP TRANSFORM EVERYDAY WELLNESS

For many people, weight loss begins with good intentions but ends in frustration. Fad diets, strict calorie counting, and temporary exercise routines often deliver short-term results before old habits return. According to the team at Mindful Wellness in Anaheim Hills, lasting success comes from a balanced approach that combines healthy eating, regular movement, and GLP-1 therapy to help people lose weight, reduce cravings, and maintain healthier lifestyles. "Successful weight loss isn't about starving yourself," the team explains. "It's about creating a healthier relationship with food while addressing the biology that often makes losing weight so challenging."

S ELF CA R E | HEALTH + WE LLN E SS

GLP-1 medications have transformed the way many patients approach weight loss by helping regulate appetite and reducing excessive hunger. Patients frequently describe the constant "food noise" that once dominated their thoughts, becoming noticeably quieter. Instead of continually thinking about their next meal or craving unhealthy foods, they can make more intentional decisions about what they eat. That creates the opportunity to replace old habits with healthier ones while building routines that can last well beyond reaching a goal weight. Nutrition, however, remains the foundation of every successful journey. Mindful Wellness encourages patients to focus on lean proteins, colorful vegetables, fresh fruits, healthy fats, and fiber-rich foods while staying well hydrated. Protein is especially important because it helps preserve muscle during weight loss while promoting fullness throughout the day. Smaller, balanced meals and limiting highly processed foods and sugary beverages further support long-term success. GLP-1 therapy may make healthier choices easier, but nutritious eating provides the fuel that allows the body to thrive. Exercise is another essential piece of the puzzle, although it doesn’t involve hours in the gym. The team often recommends something as simple as a daily walk. Walking improves cardiovascular health, supports mental well-being, increases calorie expenditure, and helps maintain lean muscle when combined with healthy eating and GLP-1. Simple activities are very important because many people can incorporate them into everyday life, making consistency far more achievable than demanding workout programs.

The journey doesn't end when the desired weight is reached. Mindful Wellness believes maintenance planning should begin long before patients reach their goals. Continued guidance, regular activity, healthy eating habits, accountability, and, when medically appropriate, GLP-1 therapy will all help prevent the familiar cycle of losing weight only to regain it months later. That philosophy is rooted in personal experience. Having experienced the challenges of weight loss firsthand, the Mindful Wellness team understands the emotional and physical struggles many patients face. Their coaching emphasizes encouragement rather than judgment, helping individuals develop practical strategies that fit into real life. One of our patients’ remarkable successes illustrates that commitment. By steadily losing more than 100 pounds over one year and seven months, the gradual pace allowed the body to adjust while creating sustainable habits designed to help keep the weight off. For Mindful Wellness, that's the true measure of success—not simply losing weight but gaining a healthier lifestyle that lasts for years to come.

S EASON A L SE T U P S | LO CAL SE RVICE S

His work centers on protecting what matters most and helping families prepare for the future. When October arrives, Josh trades legal documents for constructing an ever-evolving Halloween spectacle in his front yard. The tradition began six years ago, for a very personal reason. “I never really celebrated Halloween growing up, so this is my way to give my children an extreme Halloween,” he explains. Since then, the display has become an annual creative challenge. “I like to do something new every year. I’ve developed skills in lighting, sounds, projections, animatronics, and woodworking. I have a commercial-grade fog machine that smokes the whole street for a spooky feel.” The neighborhood has become part of the tradition, too. “It’s great to see neighborhood children come by as I’m working on it,” he says. “Lots of people say their kids make them drive by nearly every day to see what new things I add as I build the display. I have the display up the first weekend of October, so it runs all month long, but it definitely has better lights/sounds on the weekends.” For Josh, the best part is about more than the decorations. “I want to give my kids great memories of having fun around the holidays. Hopefully one of them sticks with my tradition and also goes crazy for Halloween.” That spirit extends beyond his own family. “I enjoy bringing the community together,” says Josh. “I hear from friends that their neighborhoods in Yorba Linda and Placentia have no children trick-or-treating, while we consistently get 300+ children every year. Bring your family this year; we’re right on Prospect Avenue—you can’t miss it!” Please visit https:// w w w.c a l i fo r n i ae s t a te p l a n n i n gs e r v i c e s . com/ to learn more about California Estate Planning Services.

yogurt

directions: 1. Combine all yogurt ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Top with a handful of the maple pumpkin granola, serve immediately and enjoy! Note: This granola can be stored in an airtight container and stored in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week. While this granola is made with gluten free ingredients, I recommend using certified gluten free ingredients if needed . Yogurt can be made with a suitable dairy-free alternative if you need this recipe to be dairy-free and the honey can be swapped for pure maple syrup to make the dairyfree yogurt recipe suitable for a vegan diet. The granola and the yogurt can each be enjoyed on their own, but they complement each other so nicely! This Maple Pumpkin Granola Parfait is a perfect way to celebrate autumn’s most famous flavors in a nutritious way! Pumpkin, maple syrup and warm spices, such as cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, give cozy vibes that are traditionally found in baked goods this time of year. However, while pumpkin bread, muffins, cookies and other fall flavored baked goods are certainly delicious and should be enjoyed, this Maple Pumpkin Granola Parfait provides the satisfaction of those fall flavors in a lighter way, while providing ample protein and fiber. It is the perfect, slightly sweet and balanced way to start the day – or to enjoy anytime! Alyssa Lavy, MS, RD, CDN, CPT is a registered dietitian, personal trainer and mom of 2.
