Bacon and Egg Casserole - uses up 18 eggs at a time! That’ll take care of Monday and Tuesday, LOL!

Eggs CAN be a superfood, here’s the caveat:
They must be eggs from hens NOT fed soy or corn meal. The hens must be foragers, fed kitchen scraps, flaxseeds, soy and corn free meal, etc. Omega 3 must be boosted and abundant in their eggs. That’s what gives good eggs the beautiful yolk colors.
Corn and especially soy feedings make eggs with too much Omega 6 which causes inflammation and disease in the human body.
That’s the simple explanation. Do some research for more information.
Do what your Grandma told you to do.
Not too much sugar or desert
sunshine and clean water.
Wash your hands.
Don’t pick your nose.
And don’t bring “those” girls home.
The eggs my wife has been purchasing lately have green shells and day-glow orange yolks.
Another reason not to listen to gov funded experts.
I get eggs from a local farmer. They only come with a sell by date. Best eggs I’ve ever had. I get *fortifications* in other ways, like a daily vitamin or supplement.
And who said cholesterol was bad? Plaque in the arteries is bad. Blood clots (the most common cause of heart attacks and stroke) are bad. But you have to have cholesterol to live.
Ican understand the sugar part but if one lives in a dry arid part of the state, how is that harmful?
Four eggs a day.
In BUTTER.
With harissa.
Eggs are good for you. Eggs are bad for you. Eggs are good for you. Wait until next week. Have some egg mixture leftover from french toast yesterday so good or bad it is going to be used up today in chicken patties. The cooking oil is much worse than any egg.
The average person‘s liver produces 4 to 5 times as much cholesterol on its own as we consume. If you have a fairly long period of time, like the four months in this study, the body will adjust to a higher level of consumption and reduce its own production of cholesterol.
Anyway, cholesterol is not the problem. That’s like saying the presence of fireman on a street where one of the houses burned down is the cause of the fire. Cholesterol is part of the natural Band-Aid that the body produces when arteries are inflamed and damaged. The inflammation and damage comes from too much sugar and carbohydrates in the diet, which our bodies are not set up to deal with well over a long period of time. If you reduce significantly the amount of inflammation by eating appropriately, there will be no need for cholesterol to form part of the plaque that ends up blocking arteries after enough time. You’ll still have some plaque, but for most people not enough to block arteries, at least not until a relatively old age.
My grandmother would have a little bit of tea with her sugar. She and grandpa both ate fresh from the nest turkey eggs and lived to their 90s. I’m still using her skillet and spatula to fry eggs but don’t fill her glasses quite as full of sugar. Love and miss them terribly.
I buy eggs from a local farmer for $5 a dozen.
Duck eggs for $8.
During the winter they ran out because the hens don’t lay as much.
I bought a dozen Free range eggs at the grocery store.
When I cooked one of each in a pan I noticed the difference in the color of the yoke.
The grocery store egg yoke was a pale translucent yellow. The farmer yoke was dark yellow almost orange.
I showed them to the Mrs and asked which one do you think is better for you.
Of course, she picked the darker farmer egg.
FYI, the farmer eggs are not washed.
They have a sticker on the package that says they are good for another three months when I buy them.
It makes me wonder how old they are when you buy them at the grocery store?
Welcome to those of us who know our entire life we were lied to, even by our Church.
“My doctor told me eggs are not the problem (I’ve had a quad bypass), bread is the problem. That’s where your cholesterol comes from..............”

Agreed. It is carbohydrates, which all turn into sugars in our bloodstream, which causes the inflammation and damage to the endothelium that requires plaque to repair. It’s not even the plaque that causes heart attacks and strokes, it is when the plaque has so narrow the arteries that a blood clot (usually from soft plaque that has burst) can block the artery in question. Cholesterol doesn’t cause heart attacks anymore than firemen cause fires. Both are present in order to deal with the problem, but the pharmaceutical and food industries want everyone to believe that high cholesterol causes heart attacks so that we buy their products.
Duh! 🙄
Said another way, the corn/grain/ADM lobby is bad for MAHA.
Just like they’re bad for gasoline, causing it to be polluted with ethanol as they do.
These eggs (that I posted) do, too!
The scrambled eggs are orange yellow.
DELISH!!
Agreed.
I guess I’m doomed. I love my carbs in all forms.
Bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, crackers, grits, polenta, chips, cake, cookies….
Oddly, I’m not overweight and blood work pretty good for a man my age. 🤔
