Elka did not get any of these eggs (though she does love eggs). I did give her some of the toast, though. Eggs are one of those foods that /i refuse to believe are baseline bad for you; those studies that they did about the cholesterol? Well, they didn't use real eggs, they used powdered, reconstituted eggs. Which is plain gross. Nope; whole foods, folks.
(And now I can't find a link to that study, but I think most people know what I mean.)
But, eggs. Sometimes I really want them. There's a lot of discussion about whether cravings you have should be listened to. Everybody jokes about the pregnant lady wanting pickles and ice cream (though really, I can see how that might be all right. Depending on the pickles. And the ice cream). Some studies have indicated that feeding a craving can in fact be bad for you, such as people with Diabetes who crave sugary things and people with Celiac's who crave bread. I however, don't know of a "bad thing" that would indicate I shouldn't eat eggs, and if there is one, I don't have it, that I know of.

Woof! Woof! Happy Tasty Tuesday. My mom LOVES eggs ... I can't have eggs due to my allergies. Lots of Golden Thanks for joining Tasty Tuesday Blog HOP. Enjoy! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteAllergies? Even to eggs? :(
DeleteElka will eat enough for you too!
I love eggs too. Love, love, love. They are full of awesome protein and I choose not to listen to anyone who tells me they might be bad. Everything in moderation, right?
ReplyDeleteModeration is the key!
DeleteIt's funny, I can go awhile without eating them, and then I go through a carton in a week.
Coincidentally, I just read this article that addressed myths about food. I copied the link below, but the gist is that eating up to six eggs a week is A-OK! I love them, too, and I always share bits of hard boiled eggs with my guys. They go bonkers for them! http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/foods-that-are-good--and-bad--for-your-heart/2012/01/17/gIQAOvE6uQ_story_1.html
ReplyDeleteNeat, thanks for the article! Food myths are interesting things to look at, and have proven or disproven.
DeleteI can't swallow anymore so no longer enjoy eggs but surely did when I was able to eat them - breakfast has always been my favorite meal no matter what time of day - and eggs made it better. Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteOh noes, another eggless one :(
DeleteI frequently really like breakfast foods....especially bacon! During and after college, I've kind of gone "meals without borders"...I'll have dinner leftovers for breakfast, breakfast for dinner, etc.
I don't crave eggs often, but when I do, give me a nice, big cheese omelet, please!
ReplyDeleteThe cheesier the better!
DeleteNow I want eggs. Those look delicious. Your plate seems to be missing the bacon though...
ReplyDeleteI hate cravings! I have terrile food allergies and I am always craving things I shouldn't have. I totally buy into that theory since I've seen it in action many many times!
Sadly, I didn't have any bacon. I love it dearly, but don't frequently cook it. In the pan, I don't like dealing with the grease, and in the microwave, I kind of fold it into triangles to fit onto burgers, more often than not!
DeleteIcky. I've never liked eggs. I do feed them to my kids though and funny enough, I fed them eggs this morning! Soft boiled with toast fingers to dip =D
ReplyDeleteI almost always give in to a craving, I just moderate how much of it I eat. For instance, if I crave chocolate, I'll eat half of a chocolate bar and save the rest for another craving.
When I was pregnant though, that's a whole other story! My cravings with my first child was sour! I bought a huge bag of sour recycled candy "Chews" and ate the entire thing in about 3 weeks. o_O
With my second it was ice. All I wanted was ice cold water and I'd eat the ice cubes haha.
