It is always good to get away and enjoy time with new and old friends. This past weekend we spent the weekend with friends at a cabin by Starved Rock State Park. Two days and thirty-six eggs later, we ate yummy breakfasts to start our day.
We kept it simple with scrambled eggs. Other options to go along with our eggs were turkey bacon, whole wheat toast, pancakes, orange juice and some fruit. Of course all 10 of us made our breakfast plates look a little different. The first day, I chose to have some grapes along with a “half sandwich” (a piece of toast, eggs and 2 pieces of turkey bacon which I folded in half) and the second day I had pancakes with my scrambled eggs. Others decided to have their eggs with cheese. One person ate everything in a bowl together with syrup; while another person had plain eggs and a plain pancake. It goes to show we can take the same eggs and have them in different ways. We were fueled for our hiking, boating and other activities!
This brings me back to the statement we often say around here -it’s the company an egg shares that gives it the “bad” reputation. Remember, there is room for the all foods and we make choices. I think showing people the “good” company an egg can share and how healthy, quick and easy it can be is important. The best part is that you can balance the company even over the weekend!
So my questions to you are:
- How do you talk about eggs as health professionals?
- How do your client’s depict them and how can we continue to change the face of eggs?
