Q. I love the taste of eggs, but I hate the smell of it. What are some healthy egg sandwich recipes that will hide the smell of eggs?
A. Add a lot of diced up celery, that does it for me. Also the crunchiness is great and it makes a very tasty sandwich. (For each egg use about a tbsp. of your favorite mayo.) Best to chill before eating; then all you'll smell is the celery.
