    I have started writing up in the corner of recipes that I print out how many egg yolks or egg whites are in a recipe Ex. “3 egg yolks” so that I can find recipes to use up egg yolks or egg whites when I have them left over.

    Thanks for all these wonderful recipes. I was wondering if you could freeze the leftover egg whites or yolks as I may not want to make two recipes at the same time

    You’re right. It’s always so disappointing to think I’m not going to use the yolks or vice-versa. What a great list of recipes. They look delicious. Thanks for putting them all together in one place. I’m bookmarking this page as my future go-to page for using those yolks/whites.
