I like to do one yolk and 2 whites when I do scrambled eggs for me. My boys need the calories so I usually do straight eggs for them. Actually, Nathan MAYBE eats one egg and Marshall RARELY eats much at all. Ever. I mean it. It's getting old. I'm sick of it. Feeding disorders suck. Today he ate 1 TINY bite of a scrambled egg, 1/2 slice of wheat toast for breakfast, nothing for lunch, but one slice of pizza for dinner...HOORAY!!! ONE MEAL!!! I'm so thrilled. I bet you posted your egg post just so you could hear me rant, didn't you?
Since babies aren't supposed to have whites, it works out nicely sometimes when we take the time to cook up the leftover yokes. I tasted them once as "scrambled yokes" and they were terrible though.
And Arilyn, that stinks that feeding time is so stressful! I can relate there on some level. Hazel was sooooo picky for such a long time that every eating time became stressful, which obviously wasn't good. I don't know what happened, but it's been getting better thank goodness!
Was Hazel two when she did that? I remember when Nathan went through that stage and you wondered how the heck they keep any fat on them at all!!
Marshall is 4 and there is no end in sight to his feeding disorder. Thankfully I got an appt next week with the feeding therapist. I'm desperate for some help here. We don't have a diagnosis but we're sure there is something wrong. He takes an anti-psychotic drug and when he's on it, he gets less angry (still gets REALLY angry a lot and hurts us but not as bad). Bi-Polar maybe...or mild Autism. Something though...

I don't think I will ever fully understand why people don't eat the yokes.
You're right, though. It is a pretty picture.
The yolks are high in cholesterol. Afton, just today I trashed 7 yolks! :) I do like the contrast.

Oh and he doesn't sleep well either. Sometimes he sleeps through the night and it's heavenly!
