Stuffing children with eggs
I am always looking for more ways to get more eggs into my kids.I consider eggs to be highly nutritious and good source of protein and nutrients for them.
When Jason was younger, he used to eat 4 yolks no problem - sometimes more - but he detests the white, so it always had to be removed.
I can mix them into a pancake - lot of egg, little flour. Or an omelette.
Today I made French Toast: beat some eggs (3), soak some dry bread (2 slices), and fry.
The only problem is that there is always left over liquid which I usually fry afterwards. Today I had another idea. As I laid the French Toast into the frying pan, I poured some of the left over batter over the top of the toast. Much to my surprise and delight, it soaked into the bread. I had been expecting a bit of an eggy crust - but, nope, it was fine.
My tip for today: You can always squeeze more batter into that French Toast after you have laid it on the griddle.
Jusging by what my kids ate, Jason got about 1 egg in him and Tania 1-1/2. Jason ate his with Honey made from bluberry blossoms and Tania had hers with cinnamon and sugar.

When I was a kid, my mother would mix up the raw yolk with sugar and I'd eat that.
I have low cholesterol levels (below the low end of the norm), which is bad because low blood serum cholesterol levels are linked to increased cancer risk.
I guess you get your pick, heart disease or cancer ;-)
Ha ha, probably not, just frustration as the kid refuses to eat and protests they don't like it.
I like eggs.
I also have a penchant for devilled eggs, but it is to much effort for so little pleasure.
nevertheless, i don't like egg whites. give me yolks anytime.
French toast or buttermilk pancackes w/ real VT maple syrup is to die for (Canadian maple syrup is nice, too, but this VT-er is prejudiced.).
Also, throw in some blueberries, fresh of course, and you've got some heaven.
Read your bio. Dig Buddy Holly, JLL & all the rest, too.
Nice post, Bud
As well, low blood cholesterol serum levels (like I have) increase the risk of cancer - so I need to eat more eggs and go on an Atkins diet ;-)
buddy: thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment. On Sunday I sliced fresh strawberries and ripe bananas on the French Toast and then sprinkled with some sugar.
A friend taught me a different way of making omelette..mix abt 2tbsp of fresh milk, finely chopped onions, light soy sauce and sautee with a bit of butter..tastes great..the light soy sauce is a replacement for salt..so it wont be salty, just nice..
