I have a new love of eggs. You would not believe how many eggs go through in this household.
This is why one of my goals is to set up a chicken coop. That way I can have free-range eggs right at my fingertips.
Chickens would also make great pets for the kids.
Eggs are used in so many different ways. Hard-boiled, poached, scrambled, as a binder, a coating, just to name a few.
Eggs are a fantastic protein source, which is no wonder why body-builders eat a lot of eggs, or egg whites more specifically.
This omelet recipe is super easy, and low in calories (if you are into that)

Don’t want to waste the egg yolk, then just make it a 2 egg omelet. Or save the egg yolk to make mayonnaise.
