My friend Stephanie has three kids and a hectic city schedule of pick
up and drop offs–all with out a car. She always keeps a bowl full of
hard boiled eggs in the fridge so that there is a quick healthy snack
for anyone who is hungry. Nutrition Data information on eggs shows
that eggs are a complete protein and they have a low glycemic load–
which means they can balance out all the carbs that kids gravitate
toward. Plus, they contain many vitamins and minerals necessary for
growth. I like to think "an egg a day can keep the doctor away"
because it certainly seemed that way for us when my kids were eating
eggs regularly.
Cathy - We love eggs here too. As long as they are quality eggs, we enjoy them for breakfast, snacks and even occassionally for a quick dinner.
