    Our family incorporates eggs into our weekly diet by having “Breakfast for Dinner” one night a week. It cuts our grocery bill, and we have tried all sorts of interesting breakfast recipes.

    We are egg lovers. We go through about three dozen every week, if we all eat breakfast at home every day! We’ve stopped buying all processed cereals, and normally switch between soaked oatmeal, green smoothies or eggs for most of our weekly breakfasts (or a combination of two of these, depending on our mood!), and I love a good frittata for an easy dinner from time to time!

    It’s interesting, if you crack open any old (i.e. vintage) cookbook, there is invariably a whole chapter on eggs alone! They’re not just for breakfast! I’ve gotten so many great ideas from those! And a relatively inexpensive way to eat more protein frugally.

    Looking forward to reading more!

    Best,
    Sarah

    PS – I wrote a post on increasing iron consumption on Friday with lots of egg ideas . . . check it out!

    We love eggs as well! We have 5 kids, all of which love eggs. We go through about 6 dozen weekly. More importantly, we put every single egg shell in the garden along with our coffee grounds which is also abundant by the way. You simply rinse the eggshells, (you don’t want to spread any bacteria!) We put all of our eggshells and coffee grounds in an odor free odor free kitchen caddy as a safe and clean way to save and transport all that wonderful goodness to the garden. Egg shells and coffee grounds help aerate the earth. Egg shells and coffee grounds are a commodity that you do not want to go to waste.
