It seems as if everything has its week or month. Everything under the sun has its week or month. Including “the incredible, edible egg.”

May is egg month.

Over the years eggs have gotten a bad rap from time to time. One study shows they’re bad for you another shows they’re not. It’s hard to know what to do with regard to eggs. However, the one fact that most people will agree on is that they taste good.

They are also very versatile. You can have them fried or scrambled for breakfast, you can boil them, poach them, devil them and even dye them. You can also use them raw in Caesar dressing. You can also create healthy, nutritious treats for your doggies!

The American Egg Council has tried for years to improve the public view of eggs. Recent studies show that unless you have high serum (blood) cholesterol, you don’t really have to restrict your dietary intake of cholesterol. (American Egg Board).

The first recipe is upside-down French toast. Be sure to use seedless grapes. The original recipe that I found years ago used plums, I love plums but love grapes more. You can use about any fruit that you prefer. Try them all! Then let me know which you like best.

The second recipe is one that I really love. I love asparagus any way that you prepare it. I also love eggs, so this is a natural. I’ve combined eggs and asparagus for years, but putting it in a bread bowl makes it beautiful. I use smaller loaves of bread and each person gets their own.

The third recipe is a standard. Any time you can’t think of what to make for a quick dinner, consider a frittata. They are easy, delicious and versatile. You can put almost anything in them. Use this recipe as a base and substitute to suit your family’s taste buds. I always put black olives and tomatoes in mine. I adjust other ingredients based on what I have in the fridge.

The last recipe was specially created for Fido. This is not a substitute for giving fido his regular, healthy dry dog food. But, as a special meal every now and then, this recipe is approved by veterinarians. My two dobies love it.
