When the doctor said to eliminate egg products from my diet for 3 months, I thought it would be no problem. Do you have any idea how many foods have eggs in them? Foods I LOVE, I might add. But, in the spirit of conquering inflammation on my journey to better health, I soldier on.
After a couple of weeks of cutting out morning egg-white omelets, I find myself in need of a.m. protein. I've resorted to eating last night's leftover chicken several times, but it doesn't quite hit the spot as a culinary treat.
Reading ingredient lists has yielded "hidden" eggs in things I like. Mayonnaise and almost all baked goods are in the forbidden zone. My usual fall-back for mayo is plain, strained yogurt, but this is another food I need to avoid. Thank goodness for vegennaise - Tom keeps calling it vaginnaise.
Now I'm on a quest. I hate to feel deprived. Today I made apple craisin muffins, which made me feel better. Tomorrow I'll try Irish soda bread, and there's a cocoa-banana muffin recipe calling my name once the apple bananas ripen. All I need is time :)
