By bolhaw 01:19 travel No comments

For those of us working from home right now, we miss a lot of things, from office snacks to our ergonomic desk chairs, but let's be real, what we miss the most is hanging out with our work BFFs. Even video calls can't replace seeing that one person in the office who never fails to put a smile on your face, drive you absolutely bonkers, or some combination of both. So in honor of our desk-mates, our lunchtime buddies, and our Slack-gossipers - who we desperately miss seeing on the reg - here are 17 reasons we love and adore our work besties.

Swap the Butter in Your Baked Goods With These Healthy Alternatives

Baking calms the mind and feeds the soul, but all that buttery goodness can pack on the pounds. If you're looking to make healthier baked goods, omitting some or all of the butter from your favorite recipes can greatly reduce the calories, fat, and cholesterol. Here are healthier alternatives that bakers can use instead of butter to make light and delicious baked goods. Bonus: these alternatives are great for vegan bakers, too!

Applesauce: Often used to replace oil in recipes, applesauce can be used as a butter alternative, and works best in cake-like recipes (like this vegan banana apple chunk bread). Replace half the amount of butter in your recipe with applesauce; if the recipe calls for one cup of butter, use half a cup of butter and half a cup of applesauce. If you don't mind a denser, more moist bread, replace all the butter with applesauce to cut even more calories and fat.
Avocado: Substitute half the amount of butter in a baking recipe with mashed avocado (it works well with cookies and quick breads like these pumpkin apple muffins); use the same method as you would when using applesauce. Using avocado not only lowers the calorie content, but it also creates a softer, moister baked good, and is perfect if you want to omit the dairy. You can also use avocado in place of butter to make vegan "buttercream" frosting.
Earth Balance: Replace all the butter in the recipe with Earth Balance to reduce saturated fat and cholesterol. Using Smart Balance rather than Earth Balance will also save some calories, and note that Original Smart Balance is now dairy-free!

Canola oil: In certain recipes, replacing butter with oil works well, especially if the recipe calls for melted butter. Fiddle with your favorite recipes to figure out when canola works instead of butter; when baking chocolate chip cookies, I've had success substituting half a cup of canola oil for half a cup of unsalted butter. Although slightly higher in calories, canola is much lower in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

Yogurt: Replace half the amount of butter in your cookie recipes with half the amount of yogurt (non-dairy works, too). For example, if the recipe calls for one cup of butter, use half a cup of butter and one quarter cup of yogurt. You'll reduce the calories and the saturated fat. Play around with using more yogurt and less butter to see if you still like the taste and consistency. Try this recipe for protein banana bread made with soy yogurt.
Prune purée: Prune purée makes a low-calorie and low-fat alternative to butter. Whatever amount of butter the recipe calls for, replace it completely with store-bought baby food prune purée (unless you have time to make your own; just purée prunes in the food processor). This option works well in recipes that involve chocolate and cinnamon.

Chrissy Teigen Says These Scalloped Potatoes Put Her Into a "State of Instant Euphoria"

By bolhaw 03:36 Moms No comments

"What would your death row meal be?" is the most popular question I'm asked, just ahead of "DOEs HE SInG 2 U????"

I love this question because 1.) the asker assumes I will one day be on death row, so they get me and 2.) it's the easiest question on the planet - it is this dish. This creamy creation, which my mom has been making my entire life, puts me into a state of instant euphoria and you can't go a single bite without a bacon or ham bomb.

I was notorious for sneaking undercooked scoops from the edges of the pan, not being able to control these potato-y desires of mine. By the time mom removed it from the oven, the edges were completely gone, leaving behind just a giant dollop of potato, balancing in the middle of the casserole dish.

And my god, the leftovers. I should add Tupperware to the list of ingredients because I can't tell you how many times I've put a few servings of this in my purse for a flight. If you make one thing in this book, make this, I beg you.

Pepper's Scalloped Potatoes

From Cravings by Chrissy Teigen

Ingredients

5 pounds russet (Idaho) potatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 1⁄3 pounds ham, cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes
8 slices bacon (not thick-cut), cut into squares
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
5 1⁄2 cups whole milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Peel the potatoes, halve them lengthwise, and slice them crosswise into thin half moons. Rinse well with cold water and drain in a colander. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and toss them with the onion and the ham.
In a large dutch oven, cook half the bacon over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, 9-10 minutes. Add the butter and cook, stirring, until melted, making sure the butter doesn’t burn. Add the garlic salt and pepper, then whisk in the flour and cook, stirring to work out the lumps, until smooth. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a bowl.
Arrange half the potato mixture in the bottom of the dutch oven, then cover it with half the sauce. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce. Arrange the uncooked bacon squares on top of the sauce and bake, uncovered, until the bacon appears crispy and rendered, 30-35 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F, cover with the lid, and cook until bubbling, 1 hour 30 minutes longer.

Fresh Out of Eggs? These Replacements Can Go in Almost Any Recipe

By bolhaw 03:17 Fitness No comments

Whether you're avoiding eggs because you eat a plant-based diet or simply because you're out of the darn things, you have several options to choose from. Some egg substitutions work better than others depending on the recipe, but a little trial and error will help you determine which one works best with each dish. From baked goods like muffins to breakfast items like pancakes, there's a whole bunch of egg substitutions out there (you're welcome, vegans!). See the list below to learn of our favorite egg replacements.

Ground flaxseed: Mix one tablespoon flaxmeal with three tablespoons of water until gelatinous. This mixture binds dry ingredients in baked goods, adds moisture, and also adds fiber and omega-3s.
Chia seeds: Mix one tablespoon of chia seeds with 2.5 to 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes or until gelatinous.
EnerG Egg Replacer: This gluten-, dairy-, and nut-free product is made with potato and tapioca starch flour. Replace each egg in a baked good recipe with one and a half teaspoons of powder mixed with two tablespoons of water.
Banana: A half a mashed banana replaces one egg in a recipe for baking. This substitution works best in sweet muffins and yeast-free breads since the banana flavor is so strong. Aside from adding moisture to baked goods, using a banana adds potassium to the final product.
Canned pumpkin: Use a quarter cup per egg when making baked goods. Since it has a distinct flavor, it's best used in recipes that have other stronger flavors such as cinnamon or chocolate, or with ingredients that complement it like apples or carrots.
Applesauce: A quarter cup of applesauce replaces one egg in a baking recipe. Applesauce adds moisture, helps bind the dry ingredients, and is perfect for denser baked goods like muffins and pancakes since it won't help your baked goods rise.
Soy or almond milk: These dairy-free beverages can be used to make vegan French toast. Use about a cup or so to replace the whisked eggs.
Tofu: If you're trying to re-create traditional egg recipes like a scramble or a quiche, tofu is the best substitute since its consistency most closely resembles cooked eggs. Tofu is soft, squishy, and virtually taste-less, so you can add whatever flavors you want to the dish.
Silken tofu: For denser baked goods like brownies or cookies, blend a quarter cup silken tofu with the other liquids in your recipe until it has a smooth consistency. This egg substitute can add a heaviness to your food, but it won't alter the flavor. It's also a great way to add protein to your sweet baked treats.

Although these egg substitutes work fairly well, unfortunately none is the perfect egg replacement. It's a good idea to work with recipes that call for few eggs so you don't have to replace much.

Curious About Life Behind Bars? These 8 Prison Documentaries on Netflix Are a Must-Watch

By bolhaw 02:36 Moms No comments

Much like public scandals and celebrity feuds, it's hard not to be fascinated by true crime programs. The popularity of shows such as Making a Murderer and Orange Is the New Black have only increased viewers' desires to see life behind bars (though the latter program may not provide the most realistic portrait of prison life). If you want a real understanding of how the prison system works, these Netflix prison documentaries might just be for you. From a prison in the Philippines whose inmates dance for exercise to a small correctional facility for young women in Madison, IN, these documentaries provide all of the details of prison life.

This 3-Ingredient Crème Brulée Recipe Is Restaurant-Level Fancy and Super Easy to Make

Ice cream, egg yolks, and sugar. That's all you need to whip together this decadent crème brulée that already has me feeling restaurant-level fancy. Made by Shef Shaquille on TikTok using a Tasty recipe, this low-effort crème brulée uses vanilla ice cream as its base ingredient. Ice cream typically consists of cream, salt, sugar, and eggs, the primary ingredients required to make a crème brulée. For a supereasy version of this classic dessert, here's what you need to do:

Note: For each serving of crème brulée, you will need one egg yolk, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, pour hot water into a baking pan and let the pan sit in the oven while it preheats.
In a bowl, combine the melted ice cream and egg yolks using a fork or whisk. Pour the mixture into greased ramekins.
Make sure there is enough hot water in the pan from step one to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins once you set them in the water. Bake the crème brulée for 40 to 50 minutes.
Once the crème brulées are done baking, let them cool to room temperature before covering each one with plastic wrap and refrigerating them for at least two hours.
After the crème brulées have set, put a clean saucepan over medium low heat and caramelize some sugar, using one tablespoon of sugar for each serving of crème brulée. Let the sugar harden for a minute and grab a spoon to crack into your very own restaurant-worthy dessert.

Even if I'm not dressed to the nines in a fancy restaurant (and actually curled up on the couch in the same hoodie I've been wearing for two weeks), I have a feeling this sumptuous treat is going to make me feel truly extravagant when I try it out for myself. See the full video here, and try the recipe for yourself next time you pop open the freezer.

Univision Will Broadcast One World: Together at Home in Spanish to Support COVID-19 Healthcare Workers

By bolhaw 01:41 Latina No comments

Univision announced that it's joining Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO) to broadcast the star-studded concert One World: Together at Home this Saturday, April 18, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT/ 5 p.m. PT. The live coast-to-coast broadcast will have a simultaneous Spanish-language translation and will include special commentary by TV personalities Alejandra Espinoza and Raúl de Molina throughout the event.

One World: Together at Home is a historic, first-of-its-kind global broadcast event that will show unity among all people who are affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It will also celebrate and support the healthcare workers doing life-saving work on the front lines, featuring their stories; the commitments philanthropists have made; what governments and corporations are doing to support and equip healthcare workers around the world with masks, gown, and vital equipment; and how local charities are providing food, shelter, and healthcare to those who need it most.

I think I can speak for most young Latinx who are social distancing at home with their parents when I say thank you. With Univision broadcasting this massive event in Spanish, it takes off some of the pressure of translating in real time, providing stress-free entertainment for everyone in the household. Not to mention, Alejandra and Raúl have incredible chemistry on screen, and will probably make this an unforgettable broadcast.

The global event, curated in collaboration with Lady Gaga and hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert, will feature appearances by celebrities from the arts, comedy, music, and sports industries, including the Latinx Camila Cabello, J Balvin, Jennifer Lopez, and Maluma.

Noah Centineo Opens Up About His Self-Care Routine on Netflix's New Instagram Live Series

By bolhaw 01:36 Moms No comments

"Wanna Talk About It?" That's a question many of us are asking each other right now. It's also the name of Netflix's new weekly Instagram Live series, in which stars of the platform's most popular shows talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the coronavirus pandemic. The series kicked off with Noah Centineo of All the Boys I've Loved Before in conversation with Ken Duckworth, MD, the chief medical officer at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), talking about self-care: how we're struggling and how to prioritize mental health right now.

"I suck at it. I need help," Centineo said of self-care, at the start of the stream. He talked about how, at the beginning of the pandemic, he thought that watching the news and "hours of government updates every day" could provide comfort and control; instead, it became a source of stress.

"You need enough media to know what's happening," Dr. Duckworth said. That might mean checking in just once or twice a day. "If you dose it too high, you might find yourself up half the night worrying about it." Right now, a big part of self-care is using the news and social media in a way that helps you, instead of stressing you out. (Here are eight therapist-approved ways to manage social media right now.)

Centineo went on to describe the ways he's doing self-care right now: taking breaks from work, checking in with friends, making his bed every morning, and journaling. He's also been trying out the Wim Hof Method of controlled breathing with some of his friends.

"We've created a group chat, checking in with each other every day, saying, 'I did my session.' It creates a community aspect," he explained. And once he's done 20 or 30 minutes of breathing and checking in with himself, "I become more open to myself. My anxiety and my stress fall into a separate category, separate from myself." He's able to journal and write about his feelings from "a bird's-eye perspective."

Dr. Duckworth also encouraged people to view the period of physical isolation "as an altruistic act to help the vulnerable." Centineo agreed, adding, "I'm being isolated with millions of other people around the country and the world. It feels like I'm a part of something greater than myself by doing this. And then I feel so much less isolated when I'm isolated."

Centineo, who said he's currently sheltering in place with his sister and her boyfriend in LA, said he's also using the time to connect with his housemates and act with more of an altruistic, philanthropic attitude. "Developing those communal bonds is so important and finding little ways to do that are helping me substantially during this time," he said.

Dr. Duckworth distilled the talk down to four tips for dealing with anxiety and prioritizing self-care:

Keep your anxiety in perspective. "Things are scary and there may be people that you're worried about," Dr. Duckworth said. "But the idea is to not catastrophize. Your anxiety does build negative thinking. Pay attention to that." Here are therapist-approved ways to deal with negative, intrusive thoughts.
Take care of your body. "Anxiety impacts your body. There's a physiologic component," Dr. Duckworth said. You might feel it as an elevated heart rate or difficulty breathing. He recommended deep breathing and aerobic exercise, which pumps your heart rate up and naturally helps it settle back down.
Stay connected to other people. If you're not living with family or friends, try texting and FaceTiming to stay in touch.
Help others, as you can. You're being altruistic just by staying at home. If you want and are able to do more, try shopping for a neighbor or ordering from a local business. Dr. Duckworth said that giving to others "helps defray this feeling of helplessness." Here are more ways you can help during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mental health professionals are offering remote tools like teletherapy so you can get help without leaving your home. You can also find resources on NAMI's website. If you're having a mental health crisis, you can text "NAMI" to 741741 to connect with the National Crisis line.
