Grilled Breakfast Burrito
We all have our favorites when cooking on the grill. It might be steaks, fish, chicken wings, ribs, veggies, or burgers. Now that we are a few months into grilling season you might be looking for something new. I recently cooked breakfast out at the grill. It was cool to be out at the grill early in the morning and it’s a great way to use some leftovers from the previous night’s dinner. Prep all your ingredients and then bring them all to the grill so you are not running back-and-forth while your food burns. Here is what I used for the burrito: Bacon, eggs, fresh chives, cheddar cheese, leftover grilled onions and peppers, and leftover smoked potatoes. Swap out the bacon for leftover sausage or steak. Use leftover grilled zucchini and squash, or even asparagus. Get creative with your ingredients and add things like avocado, salsa, hot sauce, or even diced jalapeno. Before heading to the grill, I diced up the leftover potatoes, onions, and peppers. Crack and whisk the eggs. Put the cheese in a small bowl. All my fresh herbs are on the deck next to the grills. Load all ingredients on a tray and head to the grill. Don’t forget the tortilla wraps. Heat a plancha (or a cast iron pan) on the grill to cook the bacon. A plancha is a cast iron plate that goes on the grill. Once the bacon starts to render some fat, add your leftover potatoes to the plancha (See pic). Remove the bacon when cooked and drain on a paper towel. Lower the heat under the plancha and keep the potatoes warm. Heat a cast iron pan and start to sauté the onions and peppers. This is quick since the veggies are already cooked. Next, add the potatoes. Whisk the eggs one final time and pour them into the pan, season with salt and pepper. Add the cheese and cook until the eggs are scrambled (See Picture). While the eggs scramble, remove the plancha and turn the heat back up to grill the tortilla. Heating the tortillas on the grill makes it easier to create the wrap. Place the grilled tortilla on a plate. Place 1-2 pieces of bacon on the tortilla, then add the egg scramble to the tortilla and use scissors to cut fresh chives on top (See Picture). Wrap the tortilla and Enjoy!

Arthritis In The Neck
Cedar Planked Smoked Cheese
The problem with arthritis is the loss of range of motion in the neck joints. As bone wears on bone, the surface of the bones actually start to c hange shape. This thins the bones in the neck in some parts leading to a loss of height between the bones. Due t abnormal wear and tear, new bone forms where it shouldn’t, creeping into the holes where the spinal cord p asses through. In addition it can rub on the nerves out to your neck, sho ul ers, arms and even hands. This can lead to a condition called cervical spinal stenosis, which can be quite painful. What can be done to help neck arthritis? While pain medications can h lp control pain, they don’t address the root cause of the pain, which i s poor strength and lack of normal movement. The neck joints on the side of the spine normally experience wear and tear over the years. However, wh en this wear and tear is accelerated due to poor posture, weakness or inju ry, this can lead to limited, painful range of motion. In addition, with neck arthritis, the smaller muscles that guide the m otions of the neck become weaker, eventually leading tomore rubbing and ar thritis. By gently stretching these tight and restricted joints with specific ha nds on therapy and exercises, range of otion can be returned. While physical t herapy can ot restore the cartilage or change the bony structure, it can ce rtainly help your neck move better, become stronger, reduce pain and give y ou the power to stay healthier longer. Try this imple test. See if you have restricted cervical joints. Stand with your back against the wall. Can you touch the back of your head t th e wall while keeping your chin level? If you cannot, then your neck joints are limited and you need physical therapy to restore the range f motion.
This is a great appetizer for the holidays. It looks fancy but is to make. Your guests will think you are a gourmet chef!
quick and easy
The cheese can be smoked on a gas grill if you make a smoker
pack. I used the
charcoal grill.
You will need a cedar plank, camembert cheese or a brie (soft c
reamy cheese),
pepper jelly, and 1-2 jalapenos.
Place the plank on the grill for 1-2 minutes a side. You will see some grill marks and you will start to smell the aroma of the cedar plank. (See the grill marks in the picture). Spread the pepper jelly on the cheese. Slice the jalapeno in ha lf, remove the seeds if you like it on the mild side, and arrange jalapeno slices on top of the cheese. Slice the jalapeno crosswise with the seeds if you like it spicy. Place the cheese in the plank. Place the plank on the grill (indirect heat) no flame under the plank. (See picture). Add a few wood chips to the charcoals. Use smoker pack if using gas grill. Co ok about 10 minutes until the cheese becomes soft. Some of the cheese will start to ooze out.
Is your neck pain affecting your balance? Have you ever seen a person with their head protruding forward and their body bent over? This can be subtle or quite noticeable. With neck pain, limited neck posture res ults in loss of balance. Just pull anyone by their nose and you will see th ey will falter forward. This is because the normal lines of gravity through th e body change when the spine posture changes. If you or someone you kno w has poor balance, it could be a problem with their posture. Get your neck moving and feeling better. Call us to learn more abo ut our programs today!
