Even Eva Mendes Eats Eggology Egg Whites!

It's no wonder Eggology egg whites are popular with the stars. In this day and age, Hollywood actresses seem to be thinner, but toner, than ever before. What's their secret? We think it has to do with eating lean protein, lots of veggies and fewer carbs. And Eggology egg whites are a fabulous source of protein because they are the purest form of protein available allowing for ultimate muscle and body absorption with no fat and no cholesterol.

Recently we read on Celebrity Beauty Buzz that Eggology egg whites are one of Eva Mendes' favorite healthy snacks! Even Eva Mendes Eats Eggology Egg Whites. Say that ten times - preferably to ten of your friends!

Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day: Turkey Burgers

This weekend we are taking our family summer "staycation". With gas prices being so high, who can afford to take a road trip or fly to another state just for a vacation? Instead we are spending our vacation in our own backyard, almost literally. We are heading about 10 miles north of our city to go "camping". Well, okay, it's in the semi-wilderness, right across from a beach, and we are staying in a cabin with full bathroom and mini-kitchenette. But still, we will be cooking our own food. And nothing's better than an awesome burger after a long day of, err, "wilderness". So I cooked these up in advance and am taking them with us because they are great served hot or cold. In this way, I'll have one meal taken care of and I won't even have to lift a finger. Sounds like my type of staycation! Enjoy!

Wouldn't You Love to Know all about Eggology Egg Whites?

Recently the founder of Eggology sat down with lovetoknow.com - a free information website with articles on all subjects that you'd love to know - to eggsplain why Eggology egg whites are so eggstraordinary.

Eggcerpts from the interview:

LoveToKnow (LTK): Well, there are other egg white products on the market. What makes yours different?

Brad Halpern (BH): There are several differences. First of all, our product is in a clear bottle. You can see that there is nothing added and the egg whites are pure and unfiltered. You can see the foam and the chalazae, a natural part of the white, floating around.

The whites are fresh. Other companies that create this type of product are often egg separation companies that primarily sell yolks to ice cream manufacturers and other food manufacturers. The whites are frozen until they can be marketed. We never freeze our product. We make each bottle to order. The product is good for the same amount of time opened or unopened, there are no preservatives added.

When you are cooking with organic egg whites you want the same results every time. The product you buy should be the same as if you had separated an egg at home. You can whip these egg whites into a meringue with no problems. You can't do that with the other brands unless they have added tri-ethylcyclate to help them whip.

LTK: Where do you get the eggs?

BH: The eggs come from local farms and ranches here in Southern California. Not only are they certified organic and certified humane, but we have our own certification program that they have to pass. We want to know that they are using good manufacturing processes.

LTK: Do you produce other items?

BH: Yes. We have an entire line of products that use organic egg whites. Often when you buy natural, organic products, they taste bland. When you buy the things that are bad for you they taste great. We are trying to marry the two; an all-natural, healthy product with a decadent taste.

We make an ice cream that has less fat and more protein than other ice creams. It is made with egg whites and the taste is absolutely decadent! It is completely organic and the milk has no bovine growth hormones. Cool Cravings is available in five flavors.

Other items we produce are:

• Eggology-on-the-Go, a microwaveable, scrambled egg white breakfast. Just microwave until the op pops up and enjoy four, perfectly cooked scrambled egg whites.
• Simply Sensational desserts and muffins are delicious, all natural baked goods

Healthy Low Carb Living - It's a Lifestyle!

When people were shunning carbs, I was always quick to defend them. But as I'm getting older, and researching more about what I eat, I am beginning to realize that maybe I should not have been so quick to defend. Recently I have begun to adjust my eating - and I'm not talking about anything drastic like cutting out every last carb and subsisting on cheese, bacon and eggs - but I am making an effort to look at not only the fat grams and cholesterol, but the also of the amount of carbs that any food item contains.

With a wealth of resources out there about "low carb diets" telling me what I should eat and shouldn't eat, I found many of them a little too structured for my liking. Then I was referred to a site called "Healthy Low-Carb Living" which is really more of a guide for people who are interested in adopting a low-carb lifestyle. The site is not only inspirational (check out their story and progressive weight loss pictures), but it is informative in the way that it offers you choices of low-carb plans and doesn't try to squeeze everyone into one plan. It is also full of resources - links to cookbooks, food products, etc., - tips and, my personal favorite, a tools page that has a hidden carbs calculator and a link to the USDA nutritional database (where you can find nutrition information about almost any food out there). One last fun item is their blog, where they keep you up to date on the latest low carb foods, findings and more.

Low-carb living is a lifestyle, not a diet, and the Healthy Low-Carb Living website is my favorite resource for helping me transition to this new way of life.

Egg White Recipe of the Day: Weekend Waffles

Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend with your family and friends! We enjoyed four sets of fireworks from one viewing area that we were vacationing at. Fantastic! It doesn't get any better than four sets of professional fireworks at once. Except for that we were with our very best family friends. After a late evening on the 4th, we woke up to a lazy Saturday morning. I whipped up these waffles and they were, hands down, every one's favorite ever. Frozen waffles (or as my toddler son used to call them "awfuls"), never again! This recipe is so easy, fresh, and tasty you don't even need syrup. Just powdered sugar and fruit. Just my humble opinion, though I think some children I know would beg to differ. Anyway, whatever you top it with, I know it will be delicious!

Weekend Waffles

Makes about 3 waffles in a Belgian waffle maker that yields waffles that are about 7.5 inches in diameter.

WHAT YOU NEED:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar or sugar-substitute (like Splenda)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 oz (or 6 tablespoons) Eggology egg whites
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/4 cups milk, as needed
cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat waffle maker. Spray with cooking spray if needed.

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in egg whites, melted butter and milk. Batter may be a bit lumpy.

Spoon batter into waffle maker. Cook for appropriate time (per your waffle maker's suggestion).

Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day: Can We Get More American than Cornsticks?

Fourth of July is rapidly approaching and I find myself thinking about our menu for that day. It seems there are a few unwritten rules for celebrating that historical day, including (but not limited to):

1. Everyone must BBQ
2. Everyone must gather with friends and/or family
3. Everyone must watch fireworks (whether it's put on by your city or by your brother-in-law in your backyard)
4. Everyone must wear shirts with the flag on it

Okay, since I don't always abide by every rule, you can count me out of number four! Anyway, sorry for the digress, back to the menu for our BBQ. Other than the standards of burgers and chicken and ribs and apple pie, what is more American than corn on the cob? I love it, but find that younger family members (the kids), and sometimes older (the grandparents), have a hard time actually eating corn on the cob as both tend to have missing teeth issues (disclaimer: I am strictly speaking about my family). I have the perfect solution! Cornsticks - similar to cornbread - but packed with actual corn, and baked in a cornstick pan to resemble real corn, your family will love it. A fabulous, and simple, recipe follows:

Grandiose Green Chile Cornsticks

Servings: 14

WHAT YOU NEED:
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ounces Eggology fresh egg whites
3/4 cup drained canned whole-kernel corn (about 1 (8-ounce) can)
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine milk, oil and egg; stir well.

Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moist. Fold in corn and green chiles.

Coat cast-iron cornstick pans heavily with cooking spray; place in a 400 degrees oven for 10 minutes. Spoon batter evenly into pans. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove cornsticks from pans immediately; serve warm.

Serving size: 1 cornstick

"Buff Dad" Mike Levinson's Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day

To all the men out there - have you found that you've gained 'sympathy' weight during your wife's pregnancy? And then have you found that it's harder to take it off now that you are juggling work and a new addition to the family? Who has time to exercise with such a full plate (no pun intended!) and possibly lack of sleep too!

Mike Levinson, author of the book Buff Dad: The 4-week Fitness Game Plan for Real Guys, knows firsthand that this "dad fat" happens and he knows how to help you lose it - and in just four weeks! The beauty of his book is it just isn't another diet book filled with low-fat recipes. He provides exercise advice, motivation and diet tips to get you back in the program!

One of his dietary tips is to eat lean protein, such as Eggology egg whites. We asked the busy Buff Dad if he'd like to share his favorite ways to use egg whites and he was more than happy to divulge:

"One way I incorporate them in my diet plan includes on a daily basis - a cup eggology egg whites, two slices low fat cheese - scramble them and then add some medium spice salsa. It makes for a delicious and nutritious meal that is quite easy and fast. I eat this everyday along with two slices of toast for my breakfast. Also I use eggology in my recipes when I make my own version of banana bread or peanut butter muffins. I substitute whole eggs with eggology egg whites which makes the recipe a bit healthier.

After my morning workout, I eat my eggology egg whites for breakfast. At times I eat an egg white omelet for dinner or on the weekends- I cut up many different veggies like onion, broccoli, green peepers, mushrooms, and spinach. I sauté the veggies in water and then add eggology egg whites and low fat cheese for a yummy omelet. This is a really great breakfast because you are getting high quality protein, calcium, vitamins, minerals and fiber."

Cake with Charles & Marie & Barbara Kaye

We have some new friends - Charles & Marie. Let us tell you a bit about them: Charles is the son of a British ambassador, fluent in seven languages, trustee of one of the world's leading museums and the list goes on. Marie, who is highly intelligent, wrote books as a teenager under pseudonyms (that were published), was one of Europe's hottest models, and met Charles at a private party in Venice. Together they travelled the world, and decided to share their experiences. Their website was born in 2005 and has evolved into what they call "The Quintessential Lifestyle Navigator". Their site offers unique products from designers around the globe, forums and blogs.

Recently, Simply Sensational carrot cake, made with Eggology egg whites, was featured in the "Epicurean Delights" section of their blog. The Epicurean section opens with a promise that the "food experience on Charles & Marie will be fresh, vital and high class".

It is no wonder that the Simply Sensational desserts were picked when you discover the history behind them. Barbara Kaye, long time friend of Eggology, spent years pioneering the ultimate carrot cake recipe. In addition to her amazing carrot cake, she makes equally delightful muffins with all-natural ingredients.

So here's to friends, old and new! Let's celebrate our friendships with some tea and cake (make that a carrot cake!).

This is for all the "Hungry Girls" and Guys!

With summer (and swimsuit season) upon us, everywhere I turn I hear about some new "diet" du jour; for example, I've heard everything from restricting carbs, to cutting out fruit, to not eating anything "white", to drinking lemonade with cayenne pepper - what?! Who is coming up with these "diets"? I enjoy eating too much to cut anything out - and I like cayenne pepper and lemonade, but not together!

Yes, I want to watch my waistline, but I still want to enjoy the foods that I like! Replacing two meals with bowls of cereal just isn't going to cut it for me. And there's only so much poached chicken one can eat. In my researching to find waistline-friendly, yet tasty and delicious, recipes, I stumbled upon this book by Lisa Lillien "Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World".

This book offers amazing recipes and food tips for (as the title suggests) "eating in the real world". Take my word for it that it is an amazing book and will be your companion for a long time.

As a bonus, I just discovered that she's got a hungry girl website where you can subscribe to receive daily tips and tricks about food and dieting. This is the perfect accompaniment to the book - kind of like a little sundae after a scrumptious, guilt-free, dinner!

Ask The Eggspert: This question is so great, we can hardly "contain" ourselves!

Question: Why are Eggology egg whites packaged in plastic jar containers? Why not use cartons, like other egg-substitute products?

Answer: Eggcellent question and there are many answers, all equally important! First of all, Eggology is simply not like those "other egg-substitute products" and it's not just our packaging that sets us apart.

When Eggology was created, the only egg-white product available came in a carton that contained chemicals, coloring, gums, preservatives, oh, and egg whites. Eggology's first goal was to create a product that was a pure egg white, safe for eating and drinking, with no artificial ingredients. And Eggology made the goal: the egg whites are fresh, organic, cage free, tested for salmonella & listeria, kosher, pasteurized and USDA approved.

The second goal was to make sure the product stayed like that. Not wanting to put such a pure product in one of those bacteria-prone cartons, Eggology developed easy-to-handle clear plastic jars that can be sterilized. No coincidence that these clear containers also show the purity of the product. You can see what you are buying!

Both the egg white and the container are designed to insure that you, the consumer, receives a top quality product! Eggology would have it no other way.

Eggology Recipe of the Day: Hard Boiled Egg White

Admittedly, I am addicted to Eggology egg whites (or I wouldn't be writing this, right?). One serving (1/2 cup) of Eggology On-The-Go quick microwave scrambles is 60 calories, 0 grams fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 13 grams of protein. It's incredible. What else can I eat that has so much protein, hardly any calories and no fat? I love eggs too, but am now more aware of their nutritional content (in comparison: one large egg has 75 calories, about 5 grams of fat, 212 mg of cholesterol). My family loves eggs too and I send a hard boiled egg in my son's lunch everyday. I was finding, however, that he does not like (or eat) the egg yolk. It seems like a waste, until I found this tip on the Eggology recipe page - how to make a hard-boiled egg out of pure egg whites! It is so simple . . . Enjoy!

Hard Boiled Egg White

All You Need:

Eggology egg whites

Instructions:

Pour EGGOLOGY egg whites into a zip-lock bag holding the top by the corner.

Fill until the bottom corner is the size of an egg. Do not zip the bag shut.

Place the corner of the bag that holds the egg whites into a coffee cup with the bag’s opening sticking above the cup opening.

Place the cup into the microwave and cook for 75 seconds.

Observe the egg-ball, and cook more if still watery. Allow to cool, and enjoy.
