(BPT) – Easy to make, packed with nutrients and great for the entire family, scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple in households across the country. While the classic scramble is a great go-to, these days you might be looking to jazz things up a bit. You can excite taste buds with interesting additions, nutritious upgrades and simple twists on traditional scrambled eggs. Co-host of Food Network’s “The Kitchen,” and season seven winner of “Food Network Star” Jeff Mauro reveals five ways to bring your scrambled eggs to the next level.

1. Experiment with dairy ingredients

Many people add milk to eggs when mixing to create a fluffy, scrumptious scramble. However, you can get creative in the kitchen by changing up the dairy in your eggs to discover new and tasty results. For example, try half-and-half or cream for a richer scramble. A dollop of plain yogurt, sour cream or mayo adds a touch of zing. Cheese is another awesome addition, and you can go beyond a sprinkle of shredded cheddar to try cream cheese, mascarpone or cottage cheese for a delicious, filling breakfast.

2. Add veggies, herbs and spices

Scrambled eggs are a great base that is completely customizable for what you’re craving that day. Chop up fresh veggies like peppers, onions and tomato. Short on time? Add some salsa. For fresh flavor, add chopped herbs such as dill, thyme or rosemary. Want bold flavor? Try adding curry powder or reach for seasoning mixes such as Italian seasoning or Cajun seasoning blends. You might even try a dash of condiments and other extras like mustard, Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce.

3. Use superior eggs for better nutrition

While you can scramble any egg, not all eggs are created equal when it comes to nutrition. Stock your fridge with great-tasting Eggland’s Best (EB) eggs that contain more than six times the vitamin D and 10 times more vitamin E compared to ordinary eggs — two powerful micronutrients that can help shield your body from harmful bacteria and support a healthy immune system. What’s more, EB eggs also contain 25% less saturated fat and more than double the omega-3s and vitamin B12. A better egg equals a better recipe.

4. Leftover transformation

With some simple tweaks, you can transform dinner leftovers into a satisfying scramble. Whether you’ve got leftover meat, greens or even too much pizza, you can serve up a tasty, easy breakfast thanks to last night’s meal. And another added bonus, it’s a great way to clean out the fridge and reduce food waste!

5. Go beyond the plate

Egg scrambles are great just eating as is, but when you add them into other foods and recipes, you really can shake things up. For example, add scrambles on top of your burger or sandwich. A chilled scramble can be a wonderful topping for a fresh salad instead of the traditional hard-boiled egg. Add it as a pizza topping any time of day. For an excellent egg sandwich you won’t want to miss, check out Jeff Mauro’s twist on an Italian-American classic pepper and egg sandwich:

(BPT) – When is a cup of coffee more than a cup of coffee? When it becomes the start of something creative, as with the many recipes available on the JURA and Capresso blogs. The trend toward adventurous tastes combines with our love of coffee — and tea — to make your daily brew something special to enjoy and share.

A sweet treat that’s vegan, hip and trendy, White Chocolate Hazelnut Café au Lait with Oat Milk comes together in minutes with the Capresso froth Select automatic milk frother and any Capresso coffeemaker. A cup of brewed coffee is enhanced with frothed oat milk that’s whipped up with white chocolate chunks or chips and hazelnut syrup. The froth Select stands out for its ability to incorporate chocolate chips or chunks into the frothing process, and any type of plant-based (or regular) milk can be used. Dust with powdered cocoa for a flourish of flavor.

Custom brew Coconut Boba Tea with the Capresso Iced Tea Maker, which brews directly into an 80 oz. glass pitcher. Boba Tea, also known as tapioca tea or pearl milk tea, is a sweet tea-based treat that originated in Taiwan and is now an international sensation. While the Iced Tea Maker is brewing the tea, from loose tea or tea bags, quickly cook Boba tapioca pearls. Then layer the pearls, honey or agave sweetener, iced tea and coconut milk (or milk of choice) in a glass and enjoy.

Coffee is great for cocktails too. JURA presents Creamy Kahlua, an enticing iced mix of espresso, Kahlua, cocoa powder and sugar. Designed for the coffee purist, a JURA automatic coffee machine creates a barista-quality brew — always freshly ground, not capsuled. The award-winning JURA line is known for its state-of-the-art technology and ease of use.

Cap off the day with a coffee-based dessert drink such as Espresso Naranja. Easy to create: Just cover the base of an espresso glass with chocolate orange sauce, and then prepare an espresso macchiato over it. The superior taste of the espresso — brewed in a JURA automatic coffee machine — is the signature ingredient of this beverage and more. JURA’s exclusive Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) ensures full flavor and aroma of espresso and ristretto, for harmonious balance with sweet notes of chocolate and vanilla.

More tasty coffee, tea and hot chocolate recipes are available at JURA and Capresso.

(BPT) – With temperatures cooling and leaves changing from golden yellow to deep auburn, there’s no denying that it’s the season of all things cozy and comfy. And as you begin to hunker down and bundle up indoors, the thought of embarking on a deck building project might not be top of mind.

While home improvement retailers position transitional months as “off-season” for outdoor projects, industry insiders know there are advantages to beginning deck construction once temperate weather days arrive. From scoring a deal on building materials to booking the most in-demand builder, here are three ways you can build your dream deck under budget and in record time this off-season.

1. Book best-in-class building professionals when they’re available

Since spring and summer are the busiest times of year for contractors and building professionals, you’ll have a better chance of booking the most in-demand deck builder in your community during transitional months. With summer projects wrapped up, workloads are naturally lighter. As a result, deck contractors have more flexibility in their schedules and can see a project through from start to finish much quicker than when they’re juggling multiple builds. They’ll also have a better chance of securing necessary building permits on a quick turnaround. With fewer permit applications in the queue for local government officials’ review, there should be fewer delays in the permitting process.

2. Take advantage of seasonal savings to stretch your dollar further

Contractors and decking brands alike offer homeowners plenty of incentives to take advantage of during transitional seasons. For example, building professionals may offer reduced rates to fill gaps in their schedules. Home improvement and decking brands, like most retailers, offer competitively priced products around the holiday season to reduce inventory and make room for new products. Taking advantage of these savings opportunities can substantially lower upfront costs associated with building a deck. The best part? Now you can splurge on stylish accessories like railing post caps or LED lights … and still stay within budget.

3. Preserve your beautiful lawn and then “spring” into landscaping projects

Deck construction can take a toll on landscaping, particularly during prime building season. In the spring, lawns tend to hold more moisture as the ground beneath begins to thaw. As a result, the ground can become increasingly soggy and is primed to muddy up shoes and retain unsightly footprints. What’s more, grass and flowers are just beginning to reemerge after winter. With increased foot traffic from builders coming and going, there’s also the risk of accidentally damaging budding flora. Rather than disrupt spring and summer’s bloom, schedule deck construction when your yard is already gearing up for its annual hibernation. Since many plants go dormant as the air cools and the ground freezes, it’s one of the best times to build a deck without significantly impacting landscaping. By the time warm weather rolls back around, you’ll be ready to tackle landscaping projects surrounding your beautiful new deck.

To create an outdoor space you can start enjoying now, consider building materials that will help extend your deck’s open-air season. For example, bamboo composite deck boards and light-gauge steel frames are resilient, durable and generally low maintenance.

“When composite decking is coupled with steel framing, it forms a durable deck system that’s well-equipped to host year-round and designed to last decades longer than lumber,” said Toby Bostwick, VP of Product and Brand, Fortress Building Products. “Composite deck boards provide benefits like slip- and moisture-resistance to not only keep deck systems looking great year-round, but also make them safer to enjoy during any season.”

If you’re feeling inspired to “deck out” your backyard and savor more days spent outdoors, take note of the time and money-saving ways to tackle deck construction during the off-season.

(BPT) – Seasons are changing, which means more than just swapping baby’s summer bonnet for a beanie. Cooler weather can also take a toll on their skin. You may start to notice dryness, irritation and itchiness on your little one, which can be a sign of ceramide depletion in the skin barrier, a common occurrence during the cooler months in all skin, including babies whose skin is still maturing. Because of the delicate nature of their skin, it is important to take special care by following a skincare routine that includes thoughtful steps and hydrating products to help replenish ceramides and repair the skin barrier.

“Compared to adult’s, a baby’s skin is actually 20 – 30% thinner, drier and more susceptible to water loss, which is why their delicate skin requires hydration and skin barrier protection to stay healthy and comfortable,” says Pediatric Dermatologist and Dermatologic Surgeon Latanya Benjamin. “Ceramides are lipids naturally found in skin that help form the skin barrier.”

It is important to provide the daily care baby’s skin needs by using products with ceramides to protect against environmental irritants and regulate hydration, especially as the weather changes. Dr. Benjamin isn’t the only expert touting the benefits of this crucial skincare ingredient for babies and infant skin. In fact, she is one of seven experts on a panel of pediatric dermatologists who developed statements on the role that moisturizers with ceramides have on baby skin in a new study recently published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology titled, “A Consensus About the Importance of Ceramide-Containing Skincare for Normal and Sensitive Skin Conditions in Neonates and Infants.”

Benjamin wants to help all parents and caregivers by providing simple advice for the best daily skincare routine for babies that not only strengthens skin while it matures, but can also have long-term benefits into adulthood.

Daily baths are not necessary

Contrary to what many believe, daily baths aren’t necessary for your baby, especially in cold or dry climates that may irritate baby’s already dry, sensitive skin. To protect skin and retain natural moisture, give baths three times a week for 5-10 minutes with warm water.

Use gentle, hydrating cleansers

When washing, focus on the parts of baby that tend to get dirtiest. This includes the head, neck and parts covered by a diaper. Use a soft washcloth and gentle, fragrance-free cleanser made for baby’s sensitive skin, like CeraVe Baby Wash and Shampoo. This non-irritating, tear-free formula includes barrier-replenishing ceramides and hydrating hyaluronic acid for a gentle wash that doesn’t strip baby’s skin.

Follow baths with a lotion that contains ceramides

One of the best times to use a moisturizing product on your baby is right after bath time because you can lock in extra hydration provided by the water on the dampened skin. Since all babies have delicate skin, no matter their skin type, the use of lotions with ceramides is recommended for all babies in their daily care.

The aforementioned panel studied the vernix caseosa, the substance produced during pregnancy that utilizes ceramides to protect baby’s skin barrier, and found that using products with ceramides after a baby is born and the vernix caseosa is removed can help hydrate and protect their skin. According to that same study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, using a ceramide-containing moisturizer, like CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Lotion, is not only beneficial to help keep neonatal and infant skin healthy, but it can also prevent dermatologic problems, like atopic dermatitis, from developing later in life.

Moisturize daily to replenish skin

Post bath time isn’t the only time to moisturize. Since the shift to colder weather can exacerbate ceramide deficiency and cause flare ups for skin conditions like eczema and itchiness, moisturizing throughout the day will help prevent dryness and irritation. Incorporating ceramide-infused products into baby’s daily care routine helps to restore the skin barrier and further protect their delicate skin from damage. Keep bottles in diaper-changing spaces for easy use or consider giving your infant a relaxing baby massage with lotion as part of a bedtime routine.

Go fragrance-free

From the lotions and cleansers you choose to care for your baby to the detergent you use to wash their little clothes, fragrance-free options are best, as added fragrances can often cause skin irritation. This is true for all sensitive skin types, and is especially important in the cooler months, when babies are wearing long clothes and more layers that touch their skin all day long.

“I like to encourage parents that with a few thoughtful steps in their baby’s daily care routine, like incorporating cleansers and lotions with ceramides, they can help keep baby’s skin healthy, hydrated and protected, no matter the time of year,” says Benjamin.

(BPT) – If your son or daughter is a high school senior this year, you’re probably in the midst of applying to colleges right now. There’s a lot for everyone to think about — where to apply, the steps involved in the application process — and of course, the finances.

This year things have certainly gotten more challenging. A recent College Ave Student Loans survey conducted by Barnes and Noble College Insights looked at how the pandemic has changed the approaches most families are taking to paying for college. Over half of the survey respondents (56%) reported that because their finances have been negatively affected, 58% of those families had to use their savings more than expected, with 43% of them putting off big purchases and 29% leaning on credit cards. Financial setbacks like job loss have caused many families to seek alternatives to help pay for college costs.

While you’re planning for your child’s education, it’s important to figure these additional costs into your overall financial picture. Paying for college is not just about tuition, so it’s a good idea to be prepared for additional expenses — and know your options for reducing those costs or covering them.

Room and board

Paying for a dorm room and meal plan is a big part of student expenses. For freshman year, some schools don’t allow students to live off-campus. Make sure to find out the rules for schools your son or daughter is applying to and discuss your family’s preferences.

Some students may choose to live off-campus and rent an apartment. Depending on the proximity to campus and the area, it can still be costly.

If room and board or off-campus housing isn’t covered by financial aid, those costs can be covered with student loan funds. And some students save money their first year or two by enrolling in a local college or university and living at home.

Textbooks and supplies

Books and supplies can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year depending on your area of study. You can use student loans to help cover the purchase of a computer, books, required class supplies, and school-related fees.

Research ways to save on books. Most schools offer used textbooks as an option in their college bookstores, or you can often find used textbooks online. In some cases, you can rent expensive textbooks. In many cases, e-books are much more affordable than actual textbooks.

Transportation

Consider the costs to commute to school every day — parking, gas, or public transportation. Don’t forget to factor in any trips home throughout the year that might require a train or airfare.

It’s essential to know the full cost of attending college when your family is making plans together. Adding these further costs to tuition, you may find that the grants or scholarships your child is offered, on top of federal student loans or work-study options they may be eligible for, will not cover everything for the school year. Unexpected expenses can also come up, such as unanticipated fees or supplies, or a roommate bailing on a shared apartment.

If your son or daughter needs additional funds, one option is getting a private student loan through College Ave. College Ave offers competitive rates, a simple 3-minute application, and great customer service. Families have choices about when to start making payments and how long to take to pay back the loan, making it easy for them to balance a monthly budget while minimizing the total cost.

To see how much your monthly bills could be upon graduation, explore tools like the College Ave student loan calculator to make sure the loan amount fits your family’s monthly budget.

(BPT) – If you’re suffering from joint pain and considering a joint replacement, you’re not alone. Chronic, debilitating pain that requires joint replacement affects nearly one in four adults in the United States, according to the U.S. Bone and Joint Initiative.^[1] But unfortunately, many people wait years to move forward with surgery, enduring significant pain and negatively impacting their lives.

This delay has worsened in the current climate of stress and fear of infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, 48% of people reported they postponed elective joint replacement surgery due to fears and concerns stemming from COVID-19, according to a recent U.S. survey of 1,200 people comprised of joint replacement patients, candidates and their caregivers, conducted by Wakefield Research and commissioned by a leading medical device company Zimmer Biomet.^[2] Informed by the results of this survey, Zimmer Biomet recently launched Don’t Let Pain Gain on You, an educational resource aimed at informing and empowering those living with joint pain to make informed decisions about joint replacement surgery in partnership with their healthcare professional.

Although joint replacement is typically considered an elective surgery, it is an important tool in restoring people’s mobility and helping to enhance their quality of life. If you are considering joint replacement surgery and feeling hesitant during the COVID-19 pandemic, here are five things to consider:

1. Quality of life

Relief from debilitating pain is the number one benefit of joint replacement surgery. “Unfortunately, I have many patients who are suffering greatly from joint pain but have canceled or delayed their planned joint replacement procedures due to concerns stemming from COVID-19,” says Dr. Mark Klaassen,^* orthopedic surgeon. “While this concern is understandable, it becomes a quality-of-life issue. I do my best to encourage people to proceed as soon as they feel comfortable, so that they can achieve relief from chronic, debilitating joint pain and move forward with their life.”

Discussing all potential benefits and risks with your own doctor to determine the right time for you is important. Expectations and achievable level of pain-relief and mobility can vary depending on your specific pre-operative condition and activity level.

2. Talk to your healthcare professional about an outpatient procedure and digital health platforms

Ask your surgeon about your potential to have an outpatient surgical procedure so that you may be able to be discharged on the same day of surgery and recover at home instead of spending additional time in the hospital – which may be particularly appealing during the pandemic. Additionally, you can ask your healthcare professional about technological innovations in joint replacement surgery such as robotics and digital health platforms that are available in some locations, for appropriate patients. One such option is mymobility^® with Apple Watch^®** from Zimmer Biomet, a first-of-its-kind remote care management system that uses iPhone^® and Apple Watch to facilitate a new level of connection between patients and their surgical care teams that is also intended to help minimize the need for unnecessary physical touchpoints.

3. Understand the safety protocols in place to help minimize exposure to COVID-19

If you are concerned about your safety at this time, it is important to realize that there are state mandated protocols and guidance in place to help reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure.^[3] According to Dr. Klaassen, “Hospitals and surgery centers across the country are typically utilizing extremely stringent policies and procedures to help keep people safe. If safety concerns are holding you back, I urge you to discuss further with your healthcare professional as I personally don’t see this as a reason to further delay a necessary joint replacement procedure.”

Becky D., a mother and grandmother from Warsaw, Ind., and a patient of Dr. Klaassen’s, recently underwent two separate joint replacement procedures, in the middle of COVID-19—the first, in March 2020, was a total knee replacement and the second, in June 2020, was a partial knee replacement.

Becky reflects on her experience after her two knee replacement surgeries during COVID-19. “Overall, I found it to be a positive experience and I am glad I moved forward with it. I had some pain for a few weeks after surgery, and worked very hard with my rehabilitation exercises.” said Becky. “Two months after surgery, I am so relieved not to have that debilitating pain I had before surgery, and I am able to be more active again, going to my grandkids’ sporting events and ready to decorate for the holidays.”

4. Consider your caregivers

For many people suffering from severe joint pain, family members and caregivers are often a critical part of the process, so don’t forget to consider the impact that continuing to delay your joint replacement surgery could have on them. Data shows that caregivers of people with joint pain can face a decrease in their quality of life and an increase in stress as they bear added responsibilities or household duties.^[4] In fact, according to Zimmer Biomet’s survey, 56% of caregivers wished their loved one would move forward with surgery more quickly even during the pandemic in order to relieve their physical pain and the negative impact on quality of life.^[2] While caregiver responsibilities may increase during your recovery, completing your surgery might not only help you get back on your feet but also help relieve your caregivers of extra burdens.

5. Delaying joint replacement surgery can lead to additional pain

Zimmer Biomet’s survey also found that those who have postponed their elective joint replacement surgery due to COVID-19 related concerns report that their daily lives have been impacted, citing increases in pain (71%), mobility changes (58%), and worsening sleep (36%).^[2] Talk to your surgeon about what’s right for you. Whether you’ve put off your joint replacement surgery or haven’t yet scheduled, now may be the time to take action to resolve your joint pain, so you can get back to enjoying your daily life.
