Wanderlust
Wandering towards wellness
Written by Erin Meyering
The Wanderlust Festival in Squaw Valley has it all — If you’re looking to submerse yourself in a weekend full of backbends and purposeful meditation, if you’re a foodie looking to munch on healthy food and drink, and if you like an entertaining music lineup and just want to dance the night away.
This was my second year at Wanderlust Squaw Valley. The festival ran from July 16 – 19. It takes place in the midst of a beautiful landscape, where the view of the Sierra Nevada is enhanced by a crush of people sitting in lotus position and wishing you well.

Walking down the street to The Brewer’s Cabinet, I was immediately surprised that after walking a few feet, I was already in line to get in. Ahead of me, there were easily more than 30 people in line already. The guy in front of me was getting a little antsy and told me how great the festival was last year and wished he would have gotten in line earlier. I nodded but since I had never been, I honestly had no idea what to expect. Well except for a lot of craft beer, which already sounded pretty good to me.
Dinner at the Ritz
Bold Flavors Featured at South-of-the-Border – Special Dinner at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe
Written by Erin Meyering
Chef Dean Fearing prepared his famous south-of-the-border cuisine in a special five-course meal at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe on Thursday, Jan. 15.
Chef Fearing, who works at Fearing’s Restaurant in The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, greeted the group with big, eager eyes and a wide, Texas smile in his chef whites and cowboy boots.
Fearing, an James Beard-award-winning chef, showcased his skill in creating delicious southwestern cuisine in this one-night-only prix fixe event. The menu included an incredible tortilla soup, barbecued shrimp tacos, chicken-fried Lockhart quail, and a maple-black-peppercorn-soaked buffalo tenderloin. A warm apple buckle with blackberry jam and bourbon vanilla ice cream completed the meal.
