Imagine that food being affordable and easily added to the weekly shopping list to be picked up from any food store. Also, wouldn&#8217;t it be perfect if that food delivered health benefits for the entire family, no matter their age? Imagine what a mealtime gamechanger that would be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guess what? Such a wonder food does exist! We\u2019re talking about &#8220;eggcellent&#8221;,  easygoing, everyday eggs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if you\u2019re thinking, \u2018but eggs are only for breakfast\u2019\u2026think again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggs have been gracing every meal from brunches to banquets for generations and really are one of the most affordable animal proteins you can put on the table. Eggs easily replace those more expensive proteins when you\u2019re on a tight budget while still giving you excellent nutritional benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whole eggs are a source of high-quality protein and vitamin A, important nutrients contributing to the normal function of the immune system. Half of the fats in eggs are heart-healthy fats (called monounsaturated fats), and studies have shown that replacing bad (saturated) fats with these unsaturated fats may help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggs are good for vegetarians, helping them to meet their daily protein needs, and good for moms-to-be, as the choline in eggs forms part of a healthy diet during pregnancy. Eggs also have the potential to contribute to improved growth for young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Department of Health\u2019s dietary guidelines for South Africans, eggs can be eaten every day in moderation. That\u2019s music to our ears, as research shows that people who eat eggs daily have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke compared to those who don\u2019t. Eggs also lower the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about cooking Mashed Potato Crumpets for breakfast &#8211; for less than R150 per meal? What a lovely treat for a Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mashed Potato Crumpets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serves 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preparation time:<\/strong> 20 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cooking time:<\/strong> 30 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost per recipe: <\/strong>Serves 6 for under R100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>45 ml (3 tbsp.) margarine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt and pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7 eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>180 ml (\u00be cup) cheddar, grated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small handful chives, finely chopped + extra<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>375 ml (1\u00bd cups) cake flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunflower oil, for cooking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomato chili jam, to serve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for about 15 minutes or until soft.
