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 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.

Easy, easy, easy dinner - did I mention easy? Oh, and Healthy!

12 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 pkg of ham or turkey lunch meat

1/2 cup shredded cheese

1 -2 cups of veggies on hand (broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)

4 green onions

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

more shredded cheese for sprinkling on top

Throw it all into this baby and blend for about 10 seconds - or until veggies are blended, but not mush. Spray with non-stick spray a 10 inch glass pie plate, pour it all in, sprinkle with a bit of cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (or until golden brown and a knife comes out clean). You could also chop the veggies if you like them chunky and not blended. Top with salsa, avacodo, sour cream, diced tomatoes, olives - whatever your family likes.
