My Kids’ Top 5 Favourite Egg Recipes
As a work-at-home Mom of three, I don’t have a lot of time to prepare fancy, elaborate meals every night, so I often turn to quick, easy and tried-and-true recipes that I can throw together in less than 30 minutes. Eggs happen several times a week in our house, so I’ve decided to share a some of my kids’ favourite egg recipes with you.
It turns out that these are the recipes my kids ask for over and over again. And almost all of them have one thing in common–eggs!
Eggs are easily our top go-to ingredient, not only because they’re chock full of high quality protein and other important nutrients, but also because they are cost-effective and so darn easy to work with!
As a Dietitian, I love that no matter where you live in Canada, the eggs that you buy are produced locally, by hard-working Canadian egg farmers who value quality and sustainability. Our egg farmers also give back, by donating more than three million eggs each year to food banks, schools and charities across Canada and around the world! I can easily say that what I love most about eggs is their versatility. What about you? Now, let’s get into my kids’ top five favourite egg recipes!
