Meatless Monday – It’s Breakfast for Dinner!



 Lots of time I use breakfast for dinner as a way to keep my diet “meat” free.  This particular recipe has eggs, so again, not strictly vegetarian but still not really meat.  I don’t use commercial eggs.  I have a hen house in the back yard with 3 hens.

We pay about 15.00 a month on feed.  Now you can say, heck I can buy a lot of eggs at the store for 15.00 a month.  Yeah, you can.  However the way commercial hens are treated is horrible.  


As chicks the hens have their beaks burnt off.  This stops them from pecking each other in the close quartered cages.  They never have their feet touch the ground. They are kept in tight little cages their entire life.  The words ‘free range’ and ‘cage-free’ are all the rage right now, however I urge you to do your homework.  Those words do not mean what you think it means.

Now on to the recipe.

If you don't have room to raise your own chickens, or you live in an area that wouldn't take kindly to early morning clucking check your local paper, farmer's market or Craig's List to find someone that raises them in your area.  There is nothing better that fresh eggs.  They taste better and are actually the correct size and color.  It's really the only way to go.

Hope you enjoy!

Namaste and Blessed Be
