All About Eggs

If you have been in DD for any amount of time, you probably have heard me say that eggs are the cheapest way to get protein into your family. This is still true even with the price of eggs now. Children do better in school when they have eggs for breakfast instead of cereal. Eggs are a quick lunch and a quick dinner.
Today we are going to learn all about eggs and how to choose them, how to store them, how to make sure they are still good to eat, and how to cook them in lots of different ways.
How To Choose Eggs -
Buy the best ingredients you can afford. This is always going to be my advice to you. Even cheap grocery store eggs will still be good to feed your family. However, all eggs are not equal.

MAHA - Homemade Popcicles

Just like for gummies, there is a formula for popcicles.

2 cups of fruit
1 cup of fruit juice, milk, coconut water, or yogurt
2 to 4 tablespoons sweetener
Blend everything together until smooth.
Pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze.
Remove pops from molds by running the mold under warm water, or by setting them in a sink of warm water for a few seconds.

I found it very helpful to use my kitchen scale. Just put the blender container on the scale and measure in your ingredients, taring between each one.
1 cup = 8 oz.

Just about every one of these recipes yielded 10 popcicles.

Strawberry Popsicles

2 cups of strawberries, roughly chopped
1 cup of coconut water
2 tablespoons of honey
Optional extras: 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, or orange juice instead of coconut water. You could also put in another summer fruit, like peache...
