Why eggs?

Eggs are exceptional for weight loss for many reasons! At about 70 calories a pop, these little guys pack a huge protein punch to keep you full and satisfied.  Eggs are filled with vitamins; A, E, D, B5, and B12 to name a few. They also contain Iron, Calcium and Selenium -an essential antioxidant that helps to bolster your immune system! We love eggs because they are inexpensive, easy to prepare and oh so 'egg-celent!'

Perfecting the hard-boiled egg!

• Start with eggs that aren't newly fresh.  Albumen, (the white part of an egg) is more likely to stick to the shell of a fresher egg.  As an egg ages, it doesn't stick as much to the shell. Don't have time to wait for your eggs to age?  Add a teaspoon of baking soda to your boiling water. When the water with baking soda passes through the eggshell, it helps the albumen to separate from the shell!
• Don't add your eggs to your pot until the water is at a rapid boil.  Once boiling, slowly lower your eggs one by one with a ladle. Boil eggs at a slow rolling boil for 11 minutes. After 11 minutes, remove from heat and eggs sit in the water for 3 more minutes.
• Using a ladle, transfer eggs to an ice-cube bath and cover with cold water until all eggs are submerged.  Let sit in ice-cube bath for 10 minutes. Remove from Ice-cube bath and refrigerate.
