Fresh Eggs
 

Our chickens are laying almost 2 dozen eggs every day! We are scrambling them for the dogs, too! And experimenting with recipes that require lots of eggs. I made creme brulee yesterday from a recipe on FoodNetwork! I recently read a post about freezing the eggs...gonna try it. Any recipes out there for lots of eggs...

You can also water glass them. Check out youtube on that. Also we give several people eggs on a weekly basis. So many people are hurting and a simple carton of eggs just may be the blessing they need to carry them. Currently we get about 8 eggs a day. Are you fermenting their feed? It's healthier for the chickens and makes the feed go considerably further.
One of our favorite ways to use up eggs is a quiche! Have you made them? Please let me know if you want a simple recipe. I can PM you for that:)
Have a beautiful day.

Make lots of Impossible pies in a blender. The recipe calls for 4 but I always use 5. It's sort of like a custard.

I've been freezing eggs in silicon muffin cups and then popping them out and transferring them to freezer bags for some time now. I break the yolks before freezing because when I didn't they seemed to almost be cooked when thawed (just the top of the yolks). I checked egg prices here in my small home town yesterday and they are going for $3+/doz.depending on the grade. Thank God my daughter's hens are laying a lot. Frozen eggs can be used for scrambled, omelettes and any baking recipe.

Mother had chickens on the farm and every time I visited, she had 3 or 4 dozen eggs ready for me to take home. The honest truth: I didn’t buy eggs for the first 40 years of our married life.

How can you eat so many eggs without your cholesterol building up? I hope you get it checked periodically.

FYI: in case you can't get fresh eggs, I was told by a Walmart buyer that Walmart has contracted Egglands Best Cage Free Brown eggs for their Market Place eggs. Cage free isn't much better then caged to a chicken. Free Range is the most freedom allowed to laying chickens and doesn't mean much more unless from a small independent egg seller.

It's actually not the cholesterol in food that affects your blood cholesterol, so much as the saturated fat. I eat very little meat so I feel OK about eating an egg or two every other day. Quote from Mayo Clinic - "Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Some studies have shown that this level of egg consumption might even help prevent certain types of stroke and a serious eye condition called macular degeneration that can lead to blindness"

I also get fresh eggs from my landlord's chickens - he is up to 6 hens now and his family doesn't eat that many, so I have plenty.

When I had hens and the eggs got a head of me I would make pickled eggs.
