Honestly, they are so incredibly versatile and I have such fond memories of eggs, and not just any eggs, Eggland’s Best, of course. It seems every time I crack open an EB egg, my mind takes me back to the days when I created recipes with my grandmother for a grand holiday feast, waking up to the smell of my mother cooking omelets when I was a young girl, snacking on hard-boiled eggs at my work desk when the 3 PM snack attack hits, and learning how to microwave eggs in my little college dorm room many, many years ago.
Eggs are a staple in my diet, as well as many of my client’s meal plans. I recommend EB eggs to all of my clients because of their incredible nutritional value that makes them soar over competitor brands. I am lactose and gluten-intolerant, therefore eggs are a ‘wonder’ food for me; they are an easy way to receive a healthy dose of protein and nutritional boost anytime of the day. I purchase a dozen every week, hard boil half and save the other six for a frittata, gluten-free cookies, gluten-free French toast, or simply a poached egg atop spinach and vegetable salad. Living a dairy and gluten-free lifestyle can be challenging, however, with a dozen EB eggs in my fridge at all times, I am prepared to whip up a tasty meal anytime of the day. The options are endless with eggs, especially with the incredible taste of Eggland’s Best; they’re the only eggs I use in my kitchen. Why? Simply take a gander at the carton the next time you’re in the food store: Eggland’s Best eggs are All-Natural from vegetarian fed hens and now even higher in Vitamins A, D, E, B2 and B12. What’s not to love? Get cracking and start making your own memories today, whether it be baking a cake with your kids, whisking up a Sunday morning brunch omelet or hard boiling yourself a few eggies to snack on when you are on-the-go.
There’s something special about the EB’s white, squeaky, styrofoam carton and the 12 cute white eggs with the red EB stamp on each one that makes me smile and keeps me crackin’ them everyday!
