One Small Thing- Eggs
I stated a few weeks ago in a blog post (here) that I wanted to start sharing a few small ways to really start sharing some great ways to start slooooooowly on your own Homesteading Quest.
One thing that I think everyone can do be it in the country or city is learn to love eggs. That's right EGGS!
I'm not talking about raising chickens ( we'll talk about that in another post) but I'm talking about really just learning to eat, cook and bake with eggs.
No matter where you get your eggs ( from your backyard chickens, neighbor, farmer's market or even the store) they provide a great source of cheap protein and are very versatile.
When trying to begin your homesteading quest, scratch cooking. learning to menu plan, more healthful eating and budgeting your grocery money better always seems to be up there on your list.
Learning how to eat eggs certainly fills all of those desires. It is a cheap, nutritious form of food that can really impact your grocery budget.
My oldest daughter LOVES hardboiled eggs, she eats them as snacks....and my husband and I do too sometimes. Isn't she cute??
MY ONE SMALL CHALLENGE THIS WEEK
So today, my challenge to you is to get 1 dozen eggs, hard boil them, peel them, and store them in a container in your fridge. When you need a snack, or a quick sandwich or salad topper, grab one or two and use it in your meal.
Tell me what you think? Could this save you money? Would your family enjoy some meals with more eggs in them? Would your pocket book enjoy it?
Happy Homesteading......

Hi Rachel! I so enjoy reading your posts! They are so inspiring! I hope you will write more often! Eggs are a very nutritious and frugal protein to add to one's diet! Learn to eat them and cook with them now, so when you do have your own hens, you'll know what to do when you are blessed with abundance of eggs! Your daughter is adorable! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI absolutely love eggs and I think that it's a huge skill to be able to cook from scratch and to enjoy knowing what is in the meals you prepare for your family!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Jennifer, it is a huge skill. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWe eat so many eggs! We've been buying them from friends at church, but my parents just got some chicks and we're hoping to share their eggs (we'll help care for them and pay for some of the expenses, in exchange for eggs). We hope to have our own someday, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up to Artful Tuesdays!
Joy, thanks so much for stopping by! You are in for a treat with your folks getting chicks. So fun to care for and their eggs are such a treat.
DeleteWe have 9 laying hens that supply our eggs, and I LOVE going to the nesting box to gather eggs. I often hard boil them up and use them as snacks or for egg salad. Right now we aren't getting as many eggs so I have been holding on to them for holiday baking. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your picture! She is adorable!
Fresh eggs just make baked goods so much better don't you think? Thanks so much, my daughters are really enjoying the chickens. The sweetest part is when my oldest daughter reads them books! Talk about a sweet moment. Thanks for stopping by, I just "followed" your new blog.
