I’m a huge fan of eggs because they are a great source of protein and fat, they’re inexpensive and quick to make.  I find that so many of my clients don’t utilize eggs enough in their diet so I wanted to share some creative ways to enjoy them.  Breakfast is obvious- scrambled, omelets, sunny side- up, etc.  But how about a breakfast burrito?  Wrap cooked eggs in a whole wheat tortilla with cheese, veggies, and salsa.  Roll in foil and you’ve got a meal on the go.  I also love to scramble eggs with brown rice, low sodium soy sauce, a little peanut oil and chopped carrots, onions and peas for a quick “fried rice”.  And who says you can’t serve a big omelet with whole wheat pancakes for dinner?  Kids love it, and it’s an easy meal anyone can make.  Please share your favorite egg recipes!
