Last Thursday I got two dozen eggs from my farm. The difference between these eggs and the .99 white eggs from the grocery is pretty apparent. The shells of these are so much harder and thicker with calcium that the farmers actually crush the eggs up and add them to the chicken feed for additional calcium.
And check out that yolk, it’s almost hypercolor it’s so bright. They are so good I haven’t even been craving my usual Barbara’s Shredded Wheat for breakfast.
The first recipe I made with my fresh eggs was some good old “happy toast“. I think everyone has different name for it, but esenssially it is a hole cut out of the middle of your toast and an egg broken in the center. Click the link for directions.
I have to confess that I may be a bit slow in posting this week after being out of town last weekend and getting ready to head out on a camping trip starting this Thursday. Hopefully I should be back to my regular posting next week because I want to tell you all about a new egg poaching cup I bought. Stay tuned if you like poached eggs!
No apologies on posting
You're a busy lady!
No worries, we'll be here when you get back! I think a lot of people feel like they need to or should blog, but I don't think we should stress over it. We have enough things in our lives to stress us out!
Those eggs do look delicious though. I haven't had a good egg in a while! I don't really cook them anymore, since my husband has been watching his cholesterol.
I am so jealous of your eggs! If I could only buy one thing from a farmer it would be eggs, no doubt about it. I love having eggs and toast that way, it's so fun and easy. I can't wait to hear about your poaching cup AND your camping trip in your trailer…if you are so kind to share
Have a great week Dawn, don't stress!
You all are so sweet. Thanks for the <3 and the comments!
We have access to farm fresh eggs where I live and they are the best! So worth the extra $1 or 2!
And so true about everyone having a differnt name for the egg in toast thing- I grew up knowing it as “eggs in a basket” or “snake eyes,” but my husband calls them “eggs in a frame.” I think I love your “Happy Toast” best! Especially because when I make it for Beckett, I always add a ketchup smiley face!
Farm fresh eggs make all the difference in the world, they taste SO much better. The toast looks great and I am looking forward to hearing about poached eggs. Have fun camping.
I love love farm eggs! They are so much better than what you get in the store.
Hi my dear…I hope you have a safe and fun camping trip. We just watched 127 hours…so be very safe! These farm fresh eggs look delicious, and they made me excited for when we get our hens this spring! Thanks for sharing, sweetheart. Many blessings to you and yours!
