Welcome back to another week of WIAW, it’s the 5th edition and as always, I’m linking up with Jenn and Amanda. Let’s dive dig in!

This week I’ve been eating a lot of eggs because:

    • They contain vitamin B
    • They contain Selenium
    • They contain vitamin B2
    • They have the perfect BCAA(branched-chain amino acids) profile
    • They’re delectable no matter how prepared!
    • One of the most filling foods for just 70-80 calories

Hard boiled egg.

Exhibition A- The classic, pure egg and cooked-with-nothing-else hard boiled egg. Slice your lengthwise like mine and use it to top salads for a beautiful garnish. Sometimes, I like to scoop out the starchy yolk and mash it with my salad dressing and pour that over the salad. It works as a great thickener. Have you tried it?

One weird thing: actually it might not be so weird, but it’s always been a foregin idea to me to have the yolk slightly runny. I don’t make myself sunny side up eggs, instead I always cook them well through, front and back side. I think I might have overdone the yolk in this one just a tad, even though the center never touched the pan.

I don’t mind the taste, actually. I think I’ll keep trying to take risks like and carry them into my hardboiled and make them not as hard-boiled.

And of course, I had The A-B-C BLT for dinner. When I first saw this burger I thought, there’s no way I’m not going to be hungry after. It’s too good! But somehow the combination of foods made it filing and I didn’t feel the need to want more.

So more or less I had an egg-mania kind of week and I don’t plan on giving it up anytime soon.

How do you cook your eggs? Do you like them well-done? Have you  had an egg-mania kind of week?
