Question about eggs ??
Eggs are great!! Very convents and versatile. You can make omelets, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, healthy casseroles, protein pancakes, protein muffins, protein cookies and so much more.
Eggs provide a substantial amount of protein and healthy fats (if you include the yolk). There have been no studies that suggest eating eggs everyday is bad for you unless you have high cholesterol.
Egg whites are a staple in my diet
How do you cook your eggs
Ezekiel bread is actually a nutty sandwich bread that contains absolutely no flour. Ezekiel bread is made from four grains and four beans. Typically it contains wheat, spelt or rye, barley, millet, lentils, great northern beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. This unique combination of ingredients is based on the biblical verse of Ezekiel 4:9 which reads: “Take also unto thee wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt and put them into one vessel and make bread of it.”
The Ezekiel 4:9 brand of bread comes in a variety of flavors and is owned and marketed by a company that was started in 1964 called Food For Life Baking Company Inc. Even though it is made with sprouted grains and has a low glycemic level this bread is soft and does not taste like cardboard. The bread packaging ranks 36 on the glycemic index which is a useful tool to gauge how different foods affect blood sugar levels. It ‘s also makes a pretty good tasting, wonderful toast and the combination of grains makes for a good balance of amino acids to provide a complete protein as well. In fact, it contains all 9 nine essential amino acids is low in fat, has no trans fats or cholesterol and is relatively low in sodium.

Difference between brown eggs and white?
This is interesting, I always thought brown eggs were heatlhier

The only difference between a brown and white egg is the color of the shell. Despite what you may have heard, one isn’t healthier, more “natural,” or more eco-friendly than the other. And there aren’t any differences in nutritional quality, flavor, or cooking characteristics.
The color of the shell is merely a reflection of the breed of the hen. In general, but not always, hens with white feathers and earlobes lay white eggs and those with dark feathers and red earlobes lay brown eggs.
It may be surprising to learn that not all eggs are brown or white. For example, some rare chicken breeds, such as the Araucana and Ameraucana, lay blue and blue-green eggs.
There’s one difference between brown and white eggs that you may notice at the grocery store. Chicken breeds that produce brown eggs, such as the Rhode Island Red, are larger and cost more to feed than hens that produce white eggs. So brown eggs may be a little more expensive than white, according to the Egg Nutrition Center.
You can get a better idea of how nutritious and fresh an egg is after you crack it open. You’ll see more white ropey strands (called chalazae) in fresher eggs, which will also have well-formed round yolks surrounded by thick whites. The color of the yolk depends on the hen’s diet, according to the Egg Nutrition Center. If feed contains wheat or barley, yolks will be lighter colored. Yellow corn or alfalfa produces medium yellow yolks.
