Highlights: The Incredible, Edible Egg

Published on May 29, 2011 By Emily. Updated on May 29, 2011

eggs

This week’s highlights are partially inspired by Rachel’s recent post about how wonderful eggs are.  Though Brian and I don’t get 2 and ½ dozen eggs every time we go grocery shopping, we do consume a decent number of eggs around these parts. Eggs are so delicious, a great source of protein and so versatile.  So, when I looked over my reader, I wasn’t surprised to discover that there were a lot of posts related to eggs:

Offbeat Home has a piece on raising backyard chickens, a fad which seems to be holding strong.  We don’t have a backyard and I’m not sure we’d have chickens even if we did.  Still, there’s a lot more to it than I realized.

Over on Healthy Tipping Point, Caitlin recently wrote a post about the different labels on eggs and what they mean, from certified organic to natural and everything in between.  An excellent read if you care about where your food is coming from.  Now that we’re back in CSA season, Brian and I are only consuming our farm’s eggs, which makes me even happier to eat them. 

Ruth Reichl called eggs “the single most useful ingredient on the planet” on Eatocracy recently.  She may have a point.

Also on Eatocracy, a recipe for the best scrambled eggs.  I prefer my scrambled eggs really dry, Brian likes his almost runny, so I’m pretty sure there’s no best.  How do you like yours?

Now we can move onto recipes which showcase eggs, because I love a good omelet, quiche or frittata.

Ramp and Bacon Omelette with Asparagus (Closet Cooking)

Ramp Pesto Omelette with Asparagus and Goat Cheese (Closet Cooking)

Denver Omelet (Serious Eats)

Brie and Bacon Quiche (Tasty Kitchen)

Caitlin’s Mom’s Amazing Quiche (Healthy Tipping Point)

Tart of Asparagus and Tarragon (Serious Eats)

Asparagus, Spinach and Ramp Frittata (Lisa’s Foods on the Move)

Deviled Eggs Gone Wild -10 New-School Deviled Egg Recipes (Huffington Post)

Founding Farmers Devilish Eggs (Endless Simmer)

Demoned Eggs (Endless Simmer)

Finally, these recipes are just dying to be served with eggs:

Potatoes and Bacon (Zesty Cook)

Spring Asparagus and Bacon Hash (Serious Eats)

There’s definitely a frittata happening at our house this week…

After months of good intentions, I finally got aro After months of good intentions, I finally got around to making Change Your Life Chicken from @thelazygenius. It totally lived up the the hype: super crispy chicken skin, flavorful vegetables that didn't burn, and a recipe that was easy and largely hands off. I'll be adding this one to the regular rotation.

Happy first day of spring! It actually felt like s Happy first day of spring! It actually felt like spring here, which was lovely. In addition to playing in the yard and going for walks, we enjoyed dinner from @aokberkshirebbq. Pictured is their excellent sausage sandwich (left), brisket sandwich (right) and potato salad. So delicious.

When @wholefully announced their new #MakeItWholef When @wholefully announced their new #MakeItWholefully Cooking Club, I immediately got excited about participating. My excitement increased when I saw that the recipe for this quarter is Easy Chicken Quesadillas. These quesadillas are so much better than what I usually make. I'm not sure if the taco seasoning (I don't usually add cumin to mine), the fresh bell peppers or the burrito-sized tortillas, but this recipe makes a quesadilla that  reminds me of eating at restaurants. (Remember eating at restaurants?) Everyone in my household loved this recipe and I will definitely be making it again.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.
