Re: Freds new week - EFL Egg Salad vs Choc Oatmeal

[Guest guest]

Truthfully Bob... I really like the Chocolate Oatmeal.. I think I

have seen Andy mention it a few times on his menus. Its a nice

change for me from the 'traditional' oatmeal.

This afternoon I made the Egg Salad Sandwich, and it was really

great. The recipe calls for boiling four eggs, and to take one of

the yolks and combine it with the four egg whites. Next, it says to

thow away the 3 boiled yolks.. I had a hard time throwing those

away.. I put them in a tupperware container thinking they can be

used for left-overs in something.. I'll have to research these in

the USDA food database to see if the nutrition value of the egg yolk

is worthwhile. I know there is a downside to the cholesterol and

fat, but I think there is an upside to the protein benefit? We'll

see. :-)

BTW, I found that there was enough egg salad within the recipe to

put on three or four sandwiches so its great for a leftover lunch

for tomorrow or Sunday.

Fred,

I agree. I made the Egg Salad today too, but I just ate the leftover

mix with a spoon ;o)

Great meal!

I should probably mention that I now mix it about half and half with

oat bran or cracked wheat, then add the protein powder, sugar free

Nesquik for extra sweetener, and 1/2 tbsp peanut butter per serving.

I like it better mixed with another grain than using all oatmeal.

If I have eggs with my oatmeal, I sweeten with a tsp of Splenda,

cinnamon, and a tsp of pecans.
