Eggs
Found my new favorite way to make an egg sandwich at Longfellows near Central Square. I was enjoying my latte and kept smelling the most delicious smell and realized it was their breakfast sandwich. The menu board just says “breakfast sando.” It wasn’t until I ordered it that I realized the smell was pesto. English muffin, pesto, egg, cheese and arugula. Such a fun, simple, delicious and nutritious combo!
Four benefits to including eggs in your day:
Eggs have an impressive nutrition contribution to make. They are good sources of Protein, Fat and nine vitamins including Riboflavin, B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Zinc, Iodine, Selenium, Molybdenem, Choline. Learn more about what these vitamins do for your body here.
They are a versatile and inexpensive ingredient to have on hand. They can be as quick as a hard boiled egg or a minute or two covered in the microwave or a bit longer as an omelet, deviled or as a frittata.
Eggs, toast and fruit for dinner can be a simple nutritious meal option in five minutes on nights when you are too tired to cook.
For families with children, a simple egg practical life activity can include cracking, whisking and my little one’s favorite, peeling hard boiled eggs. (We are still working on the part about not eating the shells).
I consider it valuable recovery practice to figure out your favorite way to eat eggs and to learn to safely cook them at home.
