Eggs from pastured hens are fried in a savory combination of bacon grease and coconut oil, INSIDE a slender, tender ring of bell pepper. Top it with a dollop of salsa or your favorite hot sauce, grated raw cheddar cheese, or crumbled bacon from foraged hogs, and you have an easy fried egg with lots of eye-appeal!
The Price of Real Food
The farmers I buy my pastured chickens from charges $3.25/lb for a whole chicken. The rancher I buy my pastured beef from charges around $3.80/lb for a butchered, processed, and packaged side of cattle.
To some, this seems expensive. Afterall, supermarket sales regularly sell chicken or beef for as little as a dollar per pound.
Yet, these are the same people who are willing to pay almost $10/lb for a box of breakfast cereal.
Bacon And Avocado Egg Salad
If you’re at all like me or my kids, you love anything with bacon, eggs, and avocado in it. In our home, at least one meal a day is a giant salad.
My salad tastes are fairly broad, my rules simple. Put down a bed of greens, toss in whatever seasonal fruits & vegetables you’ve got at hand, add some nuts or seeds, and put a palm-sized portion of protein/fats in the middle of it all. That can be leftover salmon, tuna salad, chicken salad, leftover stew meat, sliced steaks, egg salad, you name it.
The key is variety. So, here’s a salad to inspire you.
Soaked Zucchini Bread Recipe
Ah, the wonders of summer. (Sorry, but when it’s 90+ degrees out for days on end, it’s summer already!) With summer comes zucchini. And with zucchini comes lots of …
You guessed it! Zucchini bread.
This recipe uses soaked, freshly milled whole wheat flour, yogurt, eggs from pastured hens, and locally-raised raw honey. It’s not a dessert bread by any means. It’s both mildly sour and sweet, with enough cinnamon to make your house smell like heaven.
