E is for Egg Crazy! - Again

We were cracking eggs for breakfast this morning from our little silky / frizzle mix and - voila - 3 sets of twinners!  Amazing!

E is for Eggs; Farm Fresh Style

I love having chickens! I love getting fresh eggs everyday! If you can, get chickens. They are an easy backyard farm animal to have. The eggs taste great, and you know where they came from and what the chickens have been fed. No recipe today, but some great egg recipes will come! I'm off. To gather eggs...

E is for Enchiladas

Sorry - I forgot to take a picture of these, so next time I make them I'll take one.

Sour Cream & Chicken Enchiladas

5 cups shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 container sour cream
2 small cans of diced green chilies
5 green onions, diced
12 - 15 corn tortillas

To make this recipe really fast and easy, I try to have on hand Costco's package of rotisserie chicken.  4lbs of chicken for $9.99 - but its good, its fast and I think its worth it.  Also, I layer my enchiladas instead of rolling each one - its faster with the same end result.

Sooo - that being said.  In a bowl mix up with a wooden spoon the soup, sour cream, green chilies, green onion, and 1/2 cup of cheese.  Spray with non-stick spray a 9 x 13 glass pan.  Layer as follows

bottom up:  sauce (just enough to barely cover bottom)
                   1 layer of tortillas
                   sauce
                   chicken
                   1 layer of tortillas
                   sauce
                   chicken
                   1 layer of tortillas
                   sauce
                   shredded cheese

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Remove, and let sit 10 minutes.  Enjoy.                

E is for Egg Crazy!

My kids went out to gather eggs yesterday, and they came running in - "Mom, we've got a giant egg"! To put this in perspective, the middle egg is your averaged size extra large egg that you would purchase at the store. The egg on the right is from one of our silkies (Bessie) - its a size small/medium egg. The one on the left is MONGO HUGE! Well, we couldn't wait for breakfast to break open that baby and see what was inside. My littles thought that a chick was in there for sure... well, it was a twinner! Yep, 2 yolks (no chicks, that's just sick). We were pretty excited. Anyway, our poor orpington (Mildred - well, all the orpies are named Mildred because we can't tell them apart) was cacklin' up a storm all afternoon - and now I know why. She was birthin' this big ole egg. Poor girl.
