World EGG day - Oct. 14

Well World EGG day is coming up and what a better day to start your day off right with eggs for breakfast. Now I know I'm not the most excited person about eggs for breakfast, I like to put everything in them but once I do they are yummy. I thought I would share some of my fun facts about eggs as well as my favorite recipe using eggs.

Fun Facts: 

An eggshell has roughly 17,000 pores on it

White shell is from a hen with a white earlobe

Brown shell is from a hen with a red earlobe

It takes 26 hours for a hen to make an egg

One day out at room temp. = one week in the fridge

Average hen lays 250-270 eggs a year

USA produces roughly 75 billion eggs annually

China produces roughly 390 billion eggs annually (1/2 the world's supply)

 

 My Favorite EGG recipe is: Breakfast casserole with Sausage!!! YUM-O
