Product Review: Organic Valley Eggs https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-organic-valley-eggs/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-organic-valley-eggs/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2017 12:00:29 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=11425 Parent-Picked-Kid-Approved-logo

Not all eggs are created equal. The Creative Kitchen loves Organic Valley cage free eggs because we know their chickens are the happiest and healthiest, which results in better quality eggs for you and your family. With access to organic pastures, their chickens spend their days eating from the earth and being cared for by Organic Valley farmers. Ready for more good news? Organic Valley eggs are GMO-free and have no antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or toxic pesticides.

The Creative Kitchen is excited to feature Organic Valley eggs in our Whole Foods classes this week, where we’ll be making this Organic Mama Veggie Frittata!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Mommy says the chickens that made these eggs are happy and healthy! They make yummy eggs for me to eat.

OV eggs

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Choosing organic products for my family is very important to me, and I feel good about choosing Organic Valley eggs because there’s no antibiotics or synthetic hormones. I also like the Organic Valley egg whites in a carton for my omelets; I don’t feel wasteful throwing away yolks and it’s so easy to just pour into the pan.

 

The Icing on the Cake:

Not getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids? Organic Valley’s Omega-3 Eggs provide more than twice as many omega-3 fatty acids as regular eggs – just by feeding their chickens flax seeds.

 

Time to Eat?!

Eggs are a great way to start your day, but can also be incorporated into lunch and dinner, or your post-workout snack.

 

Mix it Up!

Try making a Buddha bowl for dinner tonight with your choice of grain, vegetables, protein, and top it off with a poached egg and voila! You’ve got a well-rounded, nutritious AND delicious meal!

Product Review: Lifeway Kefir https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/lifeway-kefir/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/lifeway-kefir/#respond Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:30:33 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=10454 Parent Picked Kid Approved logo

Chef/owner of Tertulia and El Colmado in NYC, Seamus Mullen taught future foodies how to make a delicious vinaigrette with Lifeway Kefir at the Kids Food Festival is past March. Check out the tasty recipe posted to his Facebook page:

Making your own vinaigrette instead of using store bought is an easy way to cut out unnecessary fats. You can adjust the flavors to fit your needs and tastes. This quick and easy vinaigrette is one I like to use on a raw brussel sprout salad. It uses Lifeway Kefir as its base, olive oil, lime zest, shaved raw garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.”
