Eggs are one of my favorite foods: nutritious, delicious, quick-cooking, and conveniently individually packaged. I specifically advocate eating fresh farmers’ market eggs from chickens who graze on a natural diet of green plants, insects, and grains. When cracked open, these eggs reveal a bright orange yolk and a white that gels together. They are rich in color, flavor, and nutrients (especially omega-3s, which support brain and nervous system development as well as cardiovascular health). Both the nutrients and omegas are concentrated in the yolk of the egg. Yes, eat the yolk; it is packed with good stuff! I freely admit that I pay $6/dozen for these superior quality eggs. Find this price hard to swallow? You can easily drop the same amount for a single cocktail at a bar. It’s all relative and a matter of priorities.
Picking the Perfect Peach
To pick the best fruits and vegetables possible, you must fully engage your senses. A peach that is heavy for it’s size, fragrant, has smooth skin, rich color, and gives under moderate pressure of your thumb will be a juicy, sweet, delicious experience. Follow these guidelines the next time you are at the supermarket.
