Of course, part of my eggophilia is also due to the fact that eggs are an affordable, high-quality protein, usually costing less than twenty cents apiece. Despite much publicized cholesterol warnings, more and more research is revealing the many health benefits of eating eggs -- everything from strengthening muscles to improving brain function -- with most research now showing that an egg or two a day is just fine for most people.

Plus, eggs have clever packaging. Take a crack at these eggshell reuses: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Jeff Yeager is the author of the book The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches. Recycle Used Tea Bags – Compost Tea Bags and Use for Skin Care.
