Egg Ramble

Yeah, that's exactly what this is, a ramble on eggs.

Eggs are much unappreciated really, seriously misunderstood. And yet, they are sooooo good for you!

But they are an odd little thing really. For starters, you need to get past the fact that an egg in a unproduced chicken. EWW!

But, get past that and wow, they are so cool!

They can be used at any meal, not just breakfast. They are delicious, versatile, and an excellent source of protein!

Breakfast, wow, great for breakfast and easy and quick too. It takes about 30 seconds to fry an egg, less time than it takes my toaster to do the toast. And if you're worried fat and calories, put water in the bottom of a non-stick pan instead of butter. It'll keep the eggs from sticking and help you get that nice gooey centre that we all love running into our toast.

Or how about scrambled. What can you NOT do with scrambled eggs. You can have them plain. You can add ham, corned beef, peppers, mushrooms, whatever really and make an omlete. Or westerns! Mmmmm, on toast with ketchup. Yummy! How about adding a little breakfast sausage, some onions and peppers, a little cheese and putting it all into a fresh wrap! Breakfast burrito! Great with coffee on a Sunday morning.

Next time you do a stirfry for dinner, try adding an egg or two to the mix. Eggs add a great flavour, help the rice stick together, and add tons of protein!

Quiche, a highly misunderstood meal, and tasty!

And that's just a few ideas. I know that in Ontario, the Dairy & Poultry associations release countless egg recipies, check your local associations for more. They really are a great addition to any meal. And now with Omega 3 eggs and other varieties, you can get much more from them.

Have fun with eggs people! The eggs will love you for it!
