Which Came First – the Chicken or Egg - Settled

And the winner is….the incredible, edible egg.  Why?  Because after studying the meal selections of members – we’ve come to the conclusion that no one starts their day with chicken!  To get the best eggsperience, make sure to buy high quality eggs.  If you can find a local supplier it’s well worth it to spend the extra money (they don’t cost nearly as much per pound as meat) because the quality and taste of a fresh egg is so much better than what you get at the grocery store.

Although some of us grab and go in the morning (I hard boil eggs and keep them in the ‘fridge), others seem to make the time for a more satisfying meal.  Deana is breaking her fast with Denver Omelet, Applesauce, and Hash Brown Potatoes, Nicole is adding vitamin C and potassium by dishing up Bell Pepper Scramble, a Banana, and fiber packed Whole-Wheat Toast with Buttery Spread.  Eileen is skillet savvy with  Fried Eggs, Canadian Bacon, (less messy than traditional bacon) and English Muffin Bread (make this the night before and HIDE IT or else there won’t be any left..).

Eggs took on a starring role in lunches as well (no one likes deli sliced chicken?)  with many combinations of egg salad  and sides.  Robyn chose  Egg Salad Sandwich, Garlic Soup, and an Apple – the garlic soup is easy to make and can be as garlicky as you like); and for those who don’t eat eggs but want to get in on the fun,  take a tip from Laura and serve Eggless Egg Salad, with Vegetable Salad Crunch, and Toasted Rye Bread .  Egg salad can be served in tomato halves or romaine wraps if you’re not grooving on the sandwich.

Finally, at the end of the day, chicken makes its appearance.  Happy is broiling (or maybe grilling) Marinated Herbed Chicken and Pecan Broccoli, Kym is serving up a colorful meal of  Romano Chicken Breasts, Pecan Zucchini, and Braised Carrots , Amanda is setting the table with a comforting meal  Chicken with Creamy Herb Sauce, Swedish Fried Potatoes, and Roasted Asparagus, and again later in the week quick to prepare meal of Apricot Chicken, Instant Brown Rice, and Broccoli with Cheese Sauce (if you’re really pressed for time and use the frozen version we won’t say anything…).
