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"

Thanks for all the responses. We had 16 chicks hatch yesterday! Hubby cares for the animals around here, and he says that we don't need to preserve the eggs because they lay all year in our climate. We give them away to friends and family. It is mandatory for visitors to leave with eggs, lol, and our mail carrier greatly appreciates them. I searched impossible pie but came up empty. I was mainly looking for recipes to change it up around here.

Does anyone use other things for substitutes for eggs? What have been your success?

Real mayonnaise in baked goods instead of regular eggs works for me. I always have mayonnaise in the pantry.

I posted about freezing the eggs recently. When we had our chickens, I was giving away my eggs to co-workers on a weekly basis & they loved them. It's really hard to go from fresh eggs to store bought ones. The store bought ones yellow is so pale & the shells are so thin & they don't have much taste (sort of like fresh tomatoes & store bought tomatoes).
Does anyone else out there have snake problems like we had when we were keeping our chickens? What did you do to avoid the snakes eating the eggs? We put out the ceramic eggs but that only took care of a few snakes. I think once they got wind that they were fake, they passed the word around & left the ceramics alone. ;) |
I have a question for all you chicken people — Is it possible to peel a hard boiled egg made from fresh eggs? Do you have any tricks?
|
I have heard that any egg cooked in a insta-pot is really easy to peel so if you have one of those, try it.
|
Purple Pansies and Sewingpup: I currently have 5 chickens . I cook fresh eggs in an Instant Pot and they do peel easily. Even after a few days in the refrigerator, they still peel easily. Now every once in a while I get an egg that won't peel without ripping the white but I figure it must just be a "fluke" as it doesn't happen often. LOL Fresh eggs from a home flock have much harder shells than those we get in the store, and I think that has something to do with how they peel.
My method: 1 cup water in bottom of pot, use basket or rack and place any number of eggs up to 2 dozen in the pot, cook on high for 5 minutes, then 5 minutes "cool down", release steam, immediately put eggs in bowl of ice water for about 5 to 10 min. and they are ready to go. My eggs vary in size from medium to ex large and they are all cooked perfect. |
