Last week I picked up some free range eggs at the dairy farm. The yolk was that beautiful dark yelllowish/orange. Anyway I was boiling 5 and one just won’t stay down. I thought, I bet there is a chicken in there. When I took them out sure enough, the egg won’t stay down to get boiled because there was a chicken. That’s sad actually, but that’s the way with free range chickens

You’re going to teach people so much as you transition to “real food”. What fun! Someday I’ll get back to eggs and post my egg term glossary at KS, and I’ll bookmark this and link to you.

I am a big big believer in Omega 3s, but the tiny bits amounted to the 2 tablespoons you put on your sandwich? It’s just marketing.

I take enough capsules to get about 1000mg of DHEA and I buy the Omega 3 Gummies for my kids, which they love. You can find them at Costco and Target.

By the way, Fish Oil does WONDERS for hormone nuttiness caused by baby blues or weaning or, just being female.

Hi, Lisa. I don’t buy “omega-3-anything.” I don’t like products that artificially add nutrients to our foods. I think it’s best to get to get them naturally. So if you want more omega-3s, then eat foods that are naturally rich in omega-3s. If you want peanut butter, eat it in its most natural state. KWIM?

I don’t go as far as to get straight peanut butter (peanuts ground up with nothing added) b/c I like a bit of oil and sugar and salt to make it spreadable and make it taste better. But I stop short at peanut butter with artificial fats.

In other words, I choose the ones that use palm oil, salt and natural sugar. Skippy Natural makes one, and Marantha also makes a really good version that I like a lot. It’s pricey, though.

Hope that helps!

Love it! We ended up with 2 doz. eggs the week before we went on vacation a few weeks ago and I was refusing to go grocery shopping so we had various egg dishes for dinner 3 times over about 9 days. It was great!

We get our eggs delivered (along with our milk) from a local dairy–the chickens are all pastured (I always used the term free-range but I guess pastured is more accurate) and eat all those bugs, etc.

Yum! (eggs not bugs!)

I’m curious if you’ve done any research on peanut butter. I bought some the other day touting its omega-3 benefits, but the taste is awful! Thanks!

Okay, so I was a week behind on blogs and didn’t have time to read this entire post, but I really want chickens. I think my neighbors would be royally unhappy about it, but I’d kill (almost!) for fresh eggs. And chickens are cute. Though I’ve heard that between the poop and the lice they are really disgusting…
