Eggs in a Basket

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:47:05 -0500

I know what Robert and I’s 1st breakfast at our new home is going to be this weekend :D

twocoasttable:

As I mentioned in the FAQs, I’ve become pretty much obsessed with Eggs in a Basket. Every few days I beg Justin to make them for me, and finally, the other day, he got sick of doing all the work and taught me to make them myself. I think its a quirky little take on eggs and toast, and you can spice things up (ha) by adding cheese, different spices/seasoning, salsa, Sriracha, etc.

Ingredients & Method:

2 slices of bread - we get rustic white free from Justin’s work

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp. butter

salt and pepper to taste

Crack your eggs in separate monkey dishes, and set aside. Using a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut a round hole in the middle of each piece of bread.

Meanwhile, get your iron skillet nice and hot, then melt some butter in it. You want to get it covered so the bread and eggs won’t stick to the pan. Put the bread in the skillet and toast it for a bit, tile one side is golden brown.

Press down on the edges of the hole, so the eggs will stay in the “basket”, then pour them into the middle of each piece of bread. Be sure to put a little butter in the middle to make sure the eggs won’t stick to the pan.

After you see the whites turning less translucent, flip the bread/egg, and season that side with salt/pepper/oregano/whatever. Depending on how runny you like the yolk, cook for a few more minutes.

Take them off the heat, plate them up, and break that yolk!

6 Ways to Build a Better Body on a Budget

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:29:39 -0400

Since I am moving into our own apartment (me and Robert WHOO HOO!!!! we adults now!) I need to find cheap and easy ways of still looking good and feeling great- this article is pretty helps.

1. Schedule Your Workouts

When you’ve got a membership to a high-tech gym or a standing appointment with a personal trainer, the expense means you’re less likely to skip out on workout time. Experts say it’s essential to approach your “no frills” workout with the same convictions.

“This means putting it on your schedule, making a specific time for when you’re going to do your workout, and it means doing all you can to limit interruptions — like turning off the phone, making sure the dog is walked before you start, and, if necessary, letting family members know that for 30 minutes or so, they are on their own,” says Susie Shina, director of FitnessOneEighty.com and author of 60-Second Circuits: 1,000 Easy Exercise Combos You Can Do Anywhere.

You can also help keep your workout on track by laying out your exercise clothes the night before, says Shina. “This acts as a reminder that you don’t want to skip out on your session.”

What can also help: Choose a playlist of your favorite exercise songs and load them into your mp3 player, or create a workout CD. Timing the music to fit the length of your workout will help keep you on track for the whole routine.

“Motivation and music go hand in hand, so again, it’s another way to ensure you stay motivated,” says Shina.

2. Choose Workouts That Work at Home

When you’re starting a workout program, it can be hard to figure out what exercises you should be doing — particularly if you don’t have the budget for pricey equipment or personal training advice.

But all you really need to do, says Charla McMillian, JD, CSCS, is follow a few simple guidelines.

“You have to ensure that all your major muscle groups are targeted at least once each week — and no more than three times a week, and your program has to include 30-60 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise three to five times a week,” says McMillian, creator of FitBoot.com, a training program for fitness professionals.

And don’t forget to stretch, which helps with both strength and flexibility.

“Always begin every workout with a few simple stretches, and always end with at least two to three minutes of stretching,” suggests Adrian Garce, a Greenwich, Conn.-based personal trainer.

McMillian and Garce suggest these basic, no-equipment exercises to get you started:

Squats. Standing upright, feet wider than shoulders apart, with arms extended forward or hands on hips for balance, squat down. Push knees outward as you descend, until thighs are parallel with the floor. Continue pushing knees outward as you stand.
Partial-body push-ups (with knees on the floor).
Modified jumping jack. Instead of moving your arms over your head, do these while pressing the palms of your hands together at chest level, with elbows out to form a straight line.
Chair crunches. Sit on a chair with hands under your behind, arms straight, and fingers facing inward toward one another. Contract your pelvis and lower abs, and, keeping your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, lift your feet off the floor and tuck your knees in toward your chest, bending the upper body slightly toward your knees. Do as many as you can until you reach fatigue.
Chair dips. Place your hands on the side of the chair and wrap your fingers around the edge. Scoot forward until your bottom is on the edge of the chair and your arms are fully extended. Keep your feet about 3 inches apart with legs extended, so knees are at approximately 150 degrees with your heels grounded. With elbows pointed back and tucked in tight alongside the body, do 15-20 dips, 3 seconds down and 1 second up. Keep your chest up and your shoulders back.

3. Turn Your Housewares Into “Gymware”

Your home may already be a home gym. Experts say if you think outside the (treadmill) box, you’d be surprised at how many household objects can be substituted for fitness equipment.

Here are few suggestions:

Use soup cans for weights. Janet Lee, deputy fitness editor of Shape magazine, says that any triceps or biceps exercise you’d do at the gym with dumbbells, you can do at home using cans of soup. To properly gauge the weight, don’t go by the ounces listed on the can — that’s liquid weight. Instead, weigh the cans on your scale to figure out the poundage that’s best for you.
Use jugs as weights. Fill a household bucket or jug with water (or sand, rock salt, or powdered detergent), secure the top with duct tape. Lift it up and down in front of you as you do squats.
Substitute paper plates for body sculpting equipment. The key here, says Lee, is to use the plates to help your body slide on a carpet. This allows you do body sculpting moves that would ordinarily require workout equipment. You can do the sliding lunge (put the paper plate under one foot and lunge forward). Try stimulating skating to work your butt and thighs: Just attach the plates to your feet with rubber bands and slide away. Or, get down on all fours, put the plates under your hands, and use them to work your chest by sliding your arms back and forth.
Substitute a countertop for a push-up bench. In most homes at least one countertop, in the kitchen or bath, is the right height for a push-up. Put both hands on the countertop, extend your legs behind you at an angle, lean down into the counter and then push back up.
Substitute pantyhose for resistance bands. Almost any exercise you can do with a resistance band, you can do with old pantyhose or tights. For example, sitting on the floor with legs straight, loop a pair of pantyhose around the balls of your feet and pull back with both hands as if you were using a rowing machine.

4. Use Your Computer for Motivation and Help

Do you tend to work out better when someone is setting goals for you? Then don’t overlook the power of your computer - and many free applications that can provide some of the stimulation you need.

You can find exercise-tracking tools and spreadsheets on a number of websites. Use them to create and maintain a training regimen, keep track of your progress, and even to share online with friends, family members, and fellow exercisers.

For how-to instructions for specific exercises, check out WebMD’s fitness slideshow, including those illustrating a 30-minute workout and abs exercises.

Further, video sites like YouTube.com are full of free videos from exercise gurus willing to share their know-how. Some other sites offer free workouts to download to your mp3 player. However, the experts warn, you shouldn’t take advice from just anyone.

“Make sure the fitness instructor is qualified. There is a lot of questionable advice out there, even on DVDs you purchase, so always make sure the advice is coming from someone certified by a reputable fitness organization,” says Therese Pasqualoni, an aerobics instructor and director of StrikeItHealthy.com.

5. Take a TV Exercise Break

Here’s a no-excuses, no-expense workout: Instead of going to the kitchen for a snack during TV commercials, exercise instead.

“Pick a different activity for each commercial and do it till the show comes back on,” suggests Shina. “During one commercial, do crunches; during another, do squats; during another, march in place. The longer you watch TV, the more exercise you’ll get in, and before the night is over you’ve got at least 15 to 20 minutes of workout time.”

6. Spend a Little, Get a Lot

If you do have a few dollars to put toward building a better body, here is the fitness equipment experts say can give you the most benefits for the least amount of money:

A dumbbell set that represents a realistic range of what you need to lift (5-30 pounds for most women, 10-50 pounds for most men)
An adjustable weight bench (one that goes from flat to incline or decline)
A mirror for the wall so you can see your technique
Kettle bells — hand weights that can be used to tone your entire body
Resistance bands, a type of rubber tubing that creates resistance for your muscles
Instructional DVDs
Stability ball
Step bench for step aerobics
