I am the Eggland’s Best EGG’vangelist and the below is a sponsored post. The fact I’ve stolen the Child, run away to NYC & left the Husband to food-fend for himself is all my own.
Dear Husband,
At this point I’m hoping you’ve noticed the Tornado and I are gone.
Not to worry.
We are merely galavanting around New York City taking some meetings in the City Which Never Sleeps (hence my bringing our child. she fits right in!) and shall return soon.
Since she & I tend to be the ones most EGGcited about food prep and planning — we wanted to leave you with tips to sustain you in our absence.
- The plush orb above is your friend. Do not panic if you discover him under the covers or hidden around the house. The Tornado highly suggests you sleep with him under your pillow. She insists if you do—you’ll receive EGGsactly what you dream about.
- We will, indeed, be home soon. That said, we’re aware of your penchant for pizza. In our absence we’ve decided this STUNNING salad topped with a poached egg would would be your perfect pizza (re)‘placement. We’ve even planned for your poaching is haaard response.
- The child is also convinced you cannot be trusted when it comes to expired foods (something about a sniff test and a bad experience?). She went over my head, contacted my boss (!), procured you a primer and asked me to remind you to check the egg-dates:
Sell by OR best by means the tattooed-ovals can be used up to 30 days past that date.
Best before means eat! eat! within 14 days of that date.
- I reminded her we more had to worry about your DIET getting old, boring and STALE in our absence. That Eggland’s recently won an AWARD for freshness and that from the moment the eggs are laid, until they reach the store, it’s 72 hours!
More than anything just know we miss you.
We are thinking of you.
And we PINKY SWEAR if we do storm the Eggland’s New Jersey headquarters spreading our childlike EGGthusiasm we will, indeed, PAUSE and bEGG them to manufacture this for you:
Until then—have fun!
In freshness, frolicking and always EGGScitement,

April 14, 2014 at 1:43 amyay, EGGS! i am glad that they are finally getting rid of the bad rap they had been getting. you could say that they’ve BEATEN the rap…
time to SCRAMBLE our posse and go POACH some nay-sayers. in no time we’ll be able to hog-FRY them to the nearest tree. as for those who remain skeptical?

Madeline says
April 14, 2014 at 3:48 amYou can eat the eggs 2 weeks after their “best by” date?!?! YES!
Yvonne says
April 14, 2014 at 8:47 amOh. I had no idea either.
I throw lots out.
Nina says
April 14, 2014 at 4:00 amThanks for the poaching tip 🙂
Never even tried because I know I’m a horrible cook.
Coco says
April 14, 2014 at 4:20 amI like to order poached eggs when we’re out because I know they won’t be cooked in a puddle of oil. At home its fried eggs every morning, and today a pre-cooked, peeled egg for an afternoon snack.
Bea says
April 14, 2014 at 4:23 amYou are being facetious, but this really could be for my husband!!!
At Pizza Hut, the expired food :-), he would never poach.
Actually maybe he would?
Fun post.
Nan says
April 14, 2014 at 4:40 amOh. I’ve been tossing out good eggs!!!!!!
lindsay Cotter says
April 14, 2014 at 4:42 amhehe i loved this. Lucky husband. Chocolate eggs!!!
Marsha Hudnall says
April 14, 2014 at 4:46 amI recently saw that egg consumption as well as nut consumption was on the rise. Yay that these two wonderfully nutritious foods are back on peoples’s plates. Down with nutrition nonsense and up with tasty healthy eating!
Izzy says
April 14, 2014 at 4:50 amWe tend to eat a lot more eggs over Passover, too.
Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie says
April 14, 2014 at 4:59 amWhat a great post! Your husband is a lucky guy to have two ladies who care about him so much!
Barbara says
April 14, 2014 at 5:00 amOooh, chocolate eggs…..get on that EB! 😉
Maureen says
April 14, 2014 at 5:25 amLove this! My hubby wouldn’t even make an egg if I was gone. He’d live off of cereal, pizza & hot wings. 😉
Fancy Nancy says
April 14, 2014 at 5:35 amI love poached eggs but I’ve been afraid to try to do it myself. Thanks for the tip! I hope you and Tornado are enjoying NYC!!!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says

Tara says

Jody - Fit at 56 says

Lola says

mimi says
April 14, 2014 at 7:41 amHope you and the Tornado are having fun, and he is missing you yet doing quite well on his own. Temporarily, of course.
Erin (Running Tall) says
April 14, 2014 at 8:26 amAw, I hope you guys are having a blast! Eggs are the BOMB – also thank you for that “best by/sell by/best before” explanation. I’ve been worried about buying eggs in bulk because I’m not quite sure when they go bad! We eat a LOT of eggs around here.
Bonnie says
April 14, 2014 at 10:03 amFun post! We only have 2 eggs left in the house. Must.replenish.stash…
Kim says
April 14, 2014 at 10:13 amI hope your husband survives and doesn’t have any expired food experiences!!!
And, chocolate eggs – good thing I have a grocery trip coming up – I think we need to check those out!
Melanie @ Nutritious Eats says
April 14, 2014 at 2:58 pmAnother reason why the vegan diet is a little tough for me- I love my eggs!
