Eggs — not just for breakfast! Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Eggs can be a part of a healthy diet at any time of the day. Try this color-ful frittata for a delicious, nutritious one-dish meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Garden Frittata
Ingredients: 4 large eggs ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon salt 2 medium unpeeled red potatoes ½ tablespoon olive oil 4 cups kale, chopped ¼ cup chopped onion ½ red bell pepper, chopped
Directions: 1. Beat eggs, pepper and salt in large bowl; set aside. 2. Microwave potatoes until slightly soft, but not completely cooked, then cube. (Alternate method without micro-wave: cube potatoes and boil 5 minutes until slightly soft; drain) 3. Chop remaining vegetables while potatoes cool. Mix vegetables together. 4. Heat oil in a 10-inch, non-stick skillet. Sauté vegetables 5-8 minutes; add to eggs and mix well. 5. Pour egg-vegetable mixture into the same skillet. Cook over low to medium heat until eggs are almost set, about 8-10 minutes. 6. Cover and let sit until eggs are completely set, about 5 minutes. Egg dishes should be cooked to 160 degrees F.

Omega-3 Rich Eggs, Are there Eggstra Benefits?
Eggs are a cheap source of high quality protein. Past recommendations suggested eating fewer eggs because of the cholesterol present in the yolk. More recent research shows that including one egg a day in the diet does not increase a person’s risk for heart disease. This is considered only moderate
consumption. Some recent research suggests that the protein, vitamins B12 and D, folate and riboflavin present in eggs may hold extra dietary benefits.
There has been a move to enrich hen’s egg with omega-3 fatty acids by feeding the hen flax seed. This normally goes to the short chain linolenic acid and the hen converts it to the more desirable long chain fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)). Higher amounts of DHA and EPA are found in eggs where the hen is fed fish meals or fish oils. One study at North Carolina State University comparing the nutrient content of free-range vs. cage-produced shell eggs showed that the levels of omega-3 fatty acids were 0.17 percent higher in free-range eggs than cage eggs (0.14 percent). However, one should remember that the amount of omega-3 fatty acid in eggs is normally low, so this could be anywhere from 0.165g more omega-3 fatty acid in a large egg to 0.1819g more in a large egg. Omega-3 fortified egg can range from 0.16-0.27g of DHA.
Therefore, if someone is looking to increase their intake of omega-3 fatty acids it would make sense to increase their intake of fish (2½ ounce salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw, cooked 1.48 to 1.61 9 DHA/EPA), walnuts, flaxseed (2.46 ALA), flaxseed oil (2.58g ALA) and leafy vegetables.

3 for 3 Membership Challenge
KEHA has launched a new
membership game plan with the
goal to increase membership by
1,000 members by January 1,
2019. Each county is challenged
to increase membership by at
least 3 members each year for the
next 3 years! Plan your recruiting
strategy now so your county can
have a net game of 3 members
each year from 2016 through
2018.
for Coloring, its not just for kids
anymore. In this fast paced world, coloring has been known
to help people reduce anxiety and stay focused, whether it
be with crayons, color pencils, markers or paints. Join us at
the Jessamine Co. Extension Office on Friday, Oct. 21st at 10
a.m. in the AG Learning Center for a relaxing and colorful
time.
We will have some supplies available or bring your own.
There is no fee for this class. All adults are welcome to come.
We are looking for volunteers to teach at craft camp in 2017. Projects will be selected at the Lincoln Co. Extension Office on 11/17.
Our next Homemaker council meeting will be 11/7 in the John Nickell Room. We encourage all to attend.
We will be having bake sale at courthouse on 12/2. We need members to volunteer to make items ( cookies, candy, small loaves quick breads ) and to help for an hour or two that day. This is our fundraiser for the Homemaker Scholarship fund.
We are also going to do the craft day at the old jail on Dec. 10th. More information on
that later.
