What EGGactly can I do?

Six cereal meal deals means last week means six packs of eggs...that is a LOT of eggs for three people to eat!

Are you wondering what will I do with 6 dozen eggs? that is 24 eggs, per person in this house... eesh!

First of all, the obvious things like fried egg sandwiches for lunch, omelettes for Sunday brunch and a "backwards day" where we have breakfast for dinner!

Then, bake.
Cookies, cupcakes and a few other yummy treats should kill off at least a dozen...then I go to "plan B"

Quiche.
It's a great way to use up small amounts of leftover veggies and meat - the recipe is on my recipe page.

Hard boiled eggs.
Great shot of protein when you need a quick snack or pick up. You can boil them, peel them and then freeze them! If you are planning on potato salad or egg salad, simply thaw them in your fridge the night before. Here, you ca see I bagged them up in sets of two to freeze.Scrambled Eggs.
You can pre-scramble eggs and freeze them too...raw or cooked. Simple to add to everything from breakfast burritos to fried rice.

Freeze them.
Yup they freeze, you just peel them first.
=)
I put a raw egg in each cube of an ice cube tray...and freeze the tray for an hour or two, them pop them out. You now have frozen eggs that you can put in a different container and they aren't all ...stuck together! Just leave them room temp to thaw and you are ready to rock for baking, frying, whatever.

That should hold us for a bit, what is YOUR favorite way to use up eggs?

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ).

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
