Hi all, I was just helping my wife prepare some items to take to our family Thanksgiving Dinner and came across something in the way of “Cooking Tips” that I thought was worth passing on:

EGGS:

A great source of protein and nutrition:

1 Chicken Egg :
Calories = 75
Total Fat = 5 gr.
Cholesterol = 213 mg. (70% of daily values)
Sodium = 63 mg. (9% of daily values)
Total Carbohydrates = 1 gr.
Protein = 6 gr.Now how do you get the Perfect Hard Boiled Egg?

I got the answer from the American Egg Board:

Place the desired number of eggs in a single layer in a sauce pan.
Add enough cold water to come at least 1 inch above the eggs.
Cover the sauce pan and quickly bring water to a boil.
Remove the pan from the heat to prevent further boiling.
Let eggs stand, covered, in the hot water 15 to 17 minutes.
Immediately run cold water over the eggs or
place them in ice water until completely cooled.

Now the eggs are correctly Hard Boiled and ready to be cracked an peeled.

Have fun, and Happy cooking!

For great scrambled eggs, be sure to cook them slowly over medium heat.
Do not overcook or they will become tough and possibly cause digestion problems for post-op WLS patients.

1 tablespoon butter or margarine.
6 eggs, lightly beaten.
1/2 teaspoon salt.
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
1. Melt butter in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat.
2. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
3. Add eggs to skillet; cook, stirring gently and lifting
to allow uncooked eggs to flow under cooked portion.
4. Do Not Overcook;
eggs should be soft with no liquid remaining.
