As I mentioned last week there are several products that you can purchase throughout the month of October that support Breast Cancer Awareness and Research. But few that you can continue to purchase through mid November to support the cause. Even fewer are the products that you actually need or use regularly. Eggs are one of those items that most everybody uses on a weekly basis and are affordable. Eggland’s Best, America’s #1 Egg, is going “pink” to help support Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Through November 15th you can support Susan G. Komen for the Cure by purchasing Eggland’s Best Pink Dozen Eggs which feature the signature “EB” stamp with the Susan G. Komen Running Ribbon. Eggland’s will also be donating $50,000 to support Susan G. Komen in their pledge to end breast cancer forever.
Eggland’s Best eggs are a great way to source all-natural nutrients that are important in maintaining overall health and wellness. Studies have snow that maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, as well as reducing your risk of developing other diseases. To lead a healthy lifestyle and possibly reduce the risk of breast cancer and other diseases, it is recommended to take the following steps:
- Add physical activity and exercise into your daily routine
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Limit alcohol intake
- Eat a balanced diet of healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, dairy and whole grains
- Get regular screening tests for breast cancer and other diseases
The 2011 Komen campaign message is “Less Talk. More Action.” with the goal of encouraging women to take their health into their own hands and get screened.

What’s Your Favorite Egg Recipe?
I love EB Eggs and one of my favorite new items that they have come out with are the bags of ready cooked hard boiled eggs. They are SO convenient! When I feel like an egg salad sandwich or some homemade guacamole it’s so nice to have eggs at the ready. I hate having to wait for them to be boiled when I wish that they were ready as soon as the thought pops into my head. I thought that I would share a couple of my favorite egg recipes – Greek Egg Salad Sandwich and El Salvadoran Guacamole.
I want to share the El Salvadoran Guacamole first because its really delicious and super easy to make. I learned this from my mother-in-law and it is a staple at my husband’s family functions. I know that eggs and avocados may not sound that appealing but trust me, it’s delish!
El Salvadoran Guacamole
Ingredients
- 1 hard boiled egg
- 1 ripe avocado
- salt – about 1/2 tsp or to taste
- 1/4 c. diced onions (optional)
Use an egg slicer to to dice the egg or alternatively you can place it in a mug and chop it with a sharp knife. Place your chopped egg in a bowl. Then add one diced avocado to the eggs. Add the salt, and the onions, if you like onions like I do. Grab a spoon and mix it all together. Taste it with a tortilla chip and if you think it needs a little more salt add that now. Go little by little with the salt because once you add too much you can’t take it away. This guacamole is delicious as a dip or as a condiment. Enjoy!
Greek Style Egg Salad Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 hard boiled eggs
- 1/8 c. chopped celery
- 1 Tbsp of Greek Tatziki Dip
- 1/8 tsp curry
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- dash of paprika
- 1/8 c. of diced green onions (optional)
- 1 sandwich roll
- mixed greens
- 1/4 of one large cucumber
Dice the hard boiled eggs, my preferred method is the mug trick I mentioned above, and put the crumbled eggs in a small mixing bowl. Add the Tatziki dip, curry, salt, pepper, paprika and celery to the eggs. Also add the green onions if you like them, as I do. Mix everything together until its all combined. Spread the mixture on the sandwich roll, place cucumber slices on top. Then add the mixed green or any type of lettuce that you prefer. Top with the other half of the sandwich roll and voila! Perfectly yummy Greek Style Egg Salad Sandwich!
