Egg White Vs. Egg Yolk: Which Is Better?
A lot of us love to eat eggs for breakfast, especially after finding they could help with weight loss. You may be throwing away the yolks to cut calories and reduce cholesterol, which is fine but did you know that most of an egg's nutrients are found in the yolk? Take a look at the comparison below to see what you may be missing.
Omega-3 Eggs, Eat the Yolks
Omega-3 eggs are great, but don't waste your money buying fortified eggs if you only eat egg whites.
Eggs fortified with Omega-3 fatty acids are a great way to increase the amount of those polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet. However, if you buy Omega-3 eggs, then you need to eat the yolks because that is where the Omega-3s are found.
Keep 'em Separated
You know that recipe you've been avoiding because it calls for three egg yolks and you just can't seem to get the hang of egg separation? Well dig it back out because this extendable egg separator is going to be your saving grace. Simply place it over any bowl (it can fit bowls 5 to 9 inches) and crack your egg over it.
Taste Test: Häagen-Dazs Tart Natural Frozen Yogurt
I'm one of the masses who's taken great advantage of the ballooning tart frozen yogurt trend. I make a pit stop at downstairs darling SoGreen at least once a week. But when Häagen-Dazs sent me its latest tart natural frozen yogurt flavor, I wanted to see if swapping it out for SoGreen was a possibility.
What Do You Eat More Often: Whole Eggs or Egg Whites?
The good old egg is an excellent source of protein. I always order scrambled eggs or an omelet when I go out to brunch, but I know many women who ditch the yolks and only order egg whites.
Although most of the calories, fat, and cholesterol come from the yolk, it's also very nutritious, containing protein, calcium, vitamin D, and folate.
Haagen Dazs Five Ice Cream
Ice cream is one of my weaknesses, and I always keep some in the freezer just so I can enjoy a spoonful or two when I'm craving it. Frozen yogurt, low calorie sorbet, or dairy-free ice creams are all good options, but sometimes you want the real deal. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, but don't want to give up on flavor or creaminess, check out Haagen Dazs Five.
DIY Spa Treatment: Fabulous Honey and Yogurt Face Mask
Not only am I obsessed with honey-enhanced beauty products, but ever since I went to Greece, I can't get enough of unsweetened yogurt (mixed with honey, of course). So when I came across this DIY face mask recipe and realized that I already had all of the ingredients stocked in my kitchen, I decided to give it a go. The treatment takes about twenty minutes to complete, and if you're looking for a budget friendly pick-me-up, this at home alternative is effective, and it's cheap as chips.
The Basics: Vanilla Ice Cream
There's nothing like fresh-churned homemade ice cream. It's cool, but melts in your mouth, creamy and smooth, and when compared to a grocery store variety, has a richer, cleaner, more pure taste. To make ice cream you need an ice cream maker and a little skill, but most of all, it requires patience.
'Wich of the Week: Poached Egg and Prosciutto Muffinwich
A friend of mine recently gave me some fresh eggs from her backyard chicken coop, complete with the hugest, yellowest yolks I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Since I love a sweet and savory breakfast sandwich, I got out the strawberry and meyer lemon marmalade that had done me so right before and combined it with crisped prosciutto and my favorite English muffins.
Though this is technically a breakfast sandwich, I had it for dinner.
