Post-Hurricane Sandy...It took almost a month to return to blogging, but we are back and are ready with a series of posts! Roger has continued to work out in creative ways and his meals never fail. When we were hosting a series of guest during the aftermath of the hurricane, they were all so impressed with Roger's dinners! They could not believe that we ate like that every night!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of a Goat Cheese Meatloaf. When Roger returns from another day of helping Hurricane Sandy victims (today he is cleaning out a garage, belonging to senior citizens, that was flooded) he will post the steps to make this yourself!!<br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />

If you've ever tried clubbells you will love mace training! </h2>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This one is very light, about 10 pounds, but it still requires tremendous grip strength to control and balance the weight. It provide excellent shoulder mobility and is quite fun. It can be made easily with a wooden handle, a bag of concrete mix, and a basketball. If you're really strong you can use a full size basketball.</span><br />

These Australian lamb chops came frenched in a rack and I separated each rib using a butcher's knife. I sprinkled with sea salt and broiled them on each side for about 8 minutes. I usually grill them, but it's getting cold these days. I placed them about 4 in. away from the heat source. Always let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The cauliflower was chopped into florets and coated in olive oil and salt. I placed them in the oven before the lamb and cooked them at 450'F. I covered them for the first 40 minutes (until they softened) then left them to roast for an additional 15 minutes. I sprinkled them with grated parmesan cheese to finish.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474138763733052667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769245485387899196.post-73944716548353714152012-10-23T13:09:00.002-04:002012-10-23T13:33:45.186-04:00Lets do an écossaise for Mayonnaise!<h2>

<span style="font-size: large;">* Since we are using raw eggs, it is very important to use the FRESHEST eggs you can get (organic and local is my recommendation). Pasteurization is essential to prevent sickness. This is done by "cooking" the eggs at a very high temptation for a short period of time. *</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
To pasteurize eggs turn on the heat and bring the water up to 140' F. Keep the water at this temperature for 3 minutes, then remove the eggs and soak in ice water until you are ready to use them.</div>

Bulgarian Sand Bag (Home Made of Course!)Before my students arrive in the morning, I like to get a workout in. In this video I feature a home made Bulgarian sandbag, made out of a car tire inner-tube. I zip tied the ends of the tube then put duct tape around the ends to serve as handles. I do Tabata sets of 40 seconds on then 40 seconds off, for 5 minute intervals. Just swing the bag around and it is a great workout for hip mobility, core strength and forearms. In addition, this is a great exercise to loosen up stiff shoulders. This exercise is also helping me get my full range of motion back post my torn labrum and clavicle distal resectioning surgery.<br />

Wild Rice and Chicken:</h4>

Measure one cup of WILD rice (it has less toxins and a better nutritional profile then regular rice) and place spread thin, in a glass 9x12 baking dish. Next place one whole cut up chicken </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">(organic / local / pastured raised)</span> on top of rice. Season with salt and pepper (I like to add paprika). Then pour 1 and 3/4 cup of water to cover the rice. Place uncovered in oven at 425' Fahrenheit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of the fat and juices from the chicken, season the rice and create a wonderful flavor!</div>

Kettlebells are a great tool, but they are also VERY expensive and the weight is fixed and cannot be altered. Here is my version of a home made kettlebell.</h2>
<h2>
<ul>
<li>When something works you don't need a long list of why it is good for you, here are my top three reasons for using kettlebells in my workout:</li>
</ul>
</h2>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Full body workout</span></strong><br />
<div style="line-height: 17px;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kettlebells work out your entire body. Kettlebells are especially great for your legs and hips. You can do many different workouts with the home made kettlebell, such as the basic swing or utilizing it for dead lifts.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="line-height: 17px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Fast Twitchin'</span></strong></div>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 17px;">Kettlebells utilize explosive movements which work your fast twitch muscles. The best exercise program is one that incorporates both types of muscle fiber groups, slow and fast </span><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">twitch. Building slow-twitch muscles is great for endurance, while fast twitch enables more explosive movements such as sprints, and short-fast bursts of activity, like kettlebell movements.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Coordination and Endurance:</span></strong><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kettlebell training develops strength, coordination, endurance, and cardio capacity! Standard gym mechanisms have a standard flow and limits the range of motion. Kettlebell training gives more realistic strength building ranges of motions.</span></div>

It's been almost two years since I suffered a major shoulder injury while training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My initial MRI results were inconclusive, therefore I took a year off to see if it would heal on it's own. I took physical therapy sessions, but my condition did not improve. I could not lift my shoulder over my head and it even took great difficulty to pick up my children. After a year I went to see a specialist who told me I probably tore my labrum and seriously damaged my AC joint. We tried a cortisone injection, but it offered very little relief. I finally opted for arthroscopic surgery. My labrum was reattached with two staples and I had scar tissue removed from my AC joint. I am now 10 months post surgery and I am finally beginning to feel good again. It took six months to be able to perform push-ups and am just able to lift weights again. I recently completed an 11 mile Spartan race, my shoulder felt great through all the climbing obstacles. Now that I am getting closer to a 100%, I plan to post more regularly. I learned a great deal about shoulder stability and the importance of the scapula for shoulder health. It has completely changed the way I lift weights. I look forward to sharing my insights with you! Embedded below you will find a video featuring some of my home made exercise equipment with explanation about how to use it and create it yourself!<br />

While some families are clearly eating healthier than others, you can see how American toxic products, such as coca-cola and processed foods have infiltrated global households. Minus those products, you can see how communities around the world eat a diet based largely around plants and animal proteins. This blog originated after posting a picture on facebook, of our refrigerator filled with our weekly grocery shopping. The picture received numerous mixed comments from shocked to supportive. <div><br /></div><div>When you go into the supermarket, if you shop around the edges you are generally safe, says <a href="http://www.michaelpollan.com/">Michael Pollan</a>, author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History-Meals/dp/1594200823">The Omnivore's Dilemma</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Defense-Food-Eaters-Manifesto/dp/0143114964/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_2">In Defense of Food</a>, among other bestsellers. When you enter any supermarket, you are generally confronted by the produce section; the back wall is for fish, poultry, and meat; and the far wall contains egg and dairy products. The middle isles are scientific modifications of corn, wheat, and soy. If you can go beyond that and get your products from a farm, grass fed beef and the like, you can avoid the "<a href="http://www.mindfully.org/Food/Organic-Industrial-Complex.htm">agriculture-industrial complex</a>." It is better for the health of the Earth, the health of local communities, and the health of YOUR OWN BODIES. </div><div><br /></div><div>I take this opportunity to challenge you to avoid processed foods for ONE week.

I get looks everywhere I go! It takes a little bit of "adjusting" to get used to the feel of the bike, but it is really awesome. My boys, ages 3 and 12 months, love to ride in it. They talk to each other, usually it is a one sided conversation I must admit, but it promotes bonding between my two boys. Everyone asks me about it where ever I go and when asked about the price I just tell them it beats the price of a second car, no gas cost, no insurance, and tune ups are virtually free!
