I’ve never turned away from an egg. I could eat eggs for dinner, lunch, breakfast, and I do. Until recently I wouldn’t dream of eating egg whites all by their lonesome…. I wanted the yolk too. A few weeks ago I was making a dessert that just called for the yolks, I didn’t really know what to do with the left over whites. I had a few stalks of blanched asparagus in my fridge, and a knock on my door. To my delight my weekly Melissa’s Produce delivery had arrived. I opened up the box and found many greens, and a head of broccoli. I tore off a few bunches of broccoli, chopped up my asparagus, soon enough my egg whites had a purpose, and I had a new favorite egg dish.
Side note/Info: Did you know that Melissa’s Produce has these new organic veggie boxes that can be delivered right to your door for as little as $25 dollars a week? That includes delivery if you live in Southern California…. It’s a serious deal. Click here if you want to order or find out more. I love it and order whenever I don’t have time to run out to the farmers market.
