It's Hard to Top the Egg

Back to food chat for a bit and this time we are talking about EGGS. I love breakfast food all day long and eggs are my absolute fav. I stumbled across an egg recipe in my Performance Paleo Cookbook and have been making it on a regular basis, so I figured it would be selfish of me not to share with all of you. 

Why Eggs? Well because...

DID YOU KNOW?

• The yolk is the source for 100% of the Iron, Choline, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, and Zinc found in the egg. 
• Eggs cost approximately 17 cents per serving
• The color of an egg yolk is determined by a hen’s diet
• There are 7 to 17 thousand tiny pores on the shell surface
• The average American eats 250 eggs per year

Ever wonder what the different labels mean? 

Cage-free — These hens are free from the confines of a cage, but this doesn’t mean they are outside. They are free to roam a barn or warehouse.

Natural — This actually means nothing. Anyone can use the term “natural”.

Free-range — Hens are free to roam outdoors

Certified Organic — Hens have access to outdoors and are fed an organic vegetarian diet 

Now to the good stuff...
