Frankie Egg Roll

India calls it Frankie egg roll and the rest of the world would see it as a wrap. In any case, this wrap is a wholesome meal high in protein and a full serving of veggies of your choice. Unlike most wraps, Frankie egg role is usually made with thin and soft wrap, so you do not need to worry about lots of carbs either. Growing up, it was my favorite after school snack. And as an adult, it is one of the favorites go to quick lunch or dinner items. Wraps are fun to make. In less time you get to experiment with condiments, fillings and everything inside it. Frankie egg roll is basically egg omelette wrapped together with a full serving of your favorite veggies wrapped in a chapati (Indian whole wheat bread). You can use any whole wheat wrap though. And if you want to make your own chapatis find the recipe here 

I like whole eggs. If you have not heard yet, the studies have proven that egg yolks are not the cause of bad cholesterol leading to heart diseases. Years ago, when scientists found cholesterol as the cause of heart problems, the foods with high cholesterol became the prime target. Now 25 years later scientists have realized that dietary cholesterol does not cause heart problems. It is the cholesterol our bodies produce from the high saturated and trans fats foods we eat. So banish the notion that egg yolks are unhealthy. Enjoy whole eggs to take advantage of all essential vitamins and minerals including Vitamin D. And as always, keep things in moderation.
