Whether the day is cloudy or Sunny-side Up this hearty SoCal inspired breakfast will really hit the spot!

I guess I never thought of putting avocados in my scrambled eggs which is funny since I have been known to add fresh Guacamole to my breakfast burrito! But this is the perfect way to cook up breakfast for more than once.

Since we have a kid down the street who sells the avocados from his tree I don’t mind buying them when they are in season. In fact he makes deliveries on his mountain bike so that makes the deal even better.

I love the idea of just cooking your eggs in a bed of potatoes and bell peppers. However, I am such a push over for onion and adding in a bit of chopped zucchini as well.

Who knows, if you are lucky you might even get a double yolker! I love it when that happens. Sure it is very rare, but it still happens and it just makes the day extra special. Just like this recipe!
Extra goodness. Extra Fresh. Extra amazing.

So grab your apron and let’s get the crackin’. Those eggs aren’t going to cook themselves!

Here is what the chickens have to say about this farm fresh breakfast.

Cluck..cluck cluck cluck..cluck!

Quick Tip: in a hurry? Cook the eggs so they are over medium and wrap up a scoop of this in a large tortilla.

Tired of cooking? This creative twist on Enchiladas might be you new best friend!

Our kids love it when I make enchiladas. I have to admit, they are pretty darned awesome. Probably because I learned how to make them from watching my mom make them the whole time I grew up.

she would heat up the sauce in a skillet and carefully dip the flour tortilla in the sauce, then set it in the pan, put a scoop of cooked ground beef and onion down the middle and add some cheese before rolling up. Soon the whole pan was filled, topped with more sauce, olives and another layer of cheese.

It was so yummy, but also a lot of work.

 

Which is why we usually had them for special events like birthdays. My kids still ask me to make enchiladas for their birthdays!  What can I say, I guess it is a family tradition.

When I found this recipe that incorporated all the flavors of our family favorite into an easy to make casserole I knew I had a winner on my hands.

I hope your family agrees!

This is what Joanna of Jo Cooks has to say about her Enchilada inspired main dish.

Chicken Enchilada Rice Casserole – all the makings of a chicken enchilada but with rice. It’s simply delicious!

Quick Tip: Hey..the next time you go to Costco get a rotisserie chicken and cut it up . Put it in a bag and toss in freezer so that when you want to make this, you don’t have to run to the store. Chances are you might even have the rest of the ingredients in your pantry.

Make “The Other White Meat” for dinner tonight. No Hobby Farm Required!

In 1990, our family moved from CA to MN and lived in a small midwest town for nine years.  When we first moved there, we purchased a small hobby farm. The old farm site had several outbuildings, including an old grain mill, a milking barn, and a pig barn.

Well, we weren’t planning to tackle the effort of getting a cow or planning to plan wheat, but because the prices were down and we were young enough to feel optimistic about everything, we decided to buy a few piglets and raise them for market, keeping one for ourselves.

Long story short, we ended up with 50 piglets that we raised to butchering weight. That is a lot of food and after cleaning up the barn several times, well, let’s just say that whatever goes in must come out.

Even just walking through the barn left your clothes and hair smelling like Eau de Piglet.

In the end, we were able to sell all the pigs at the highest market price because of what we had fed them. They were big, but they were very lean. Now that we have lived through that, I appreciate paying for a few pounds of pork we didn’t have to raise ourselves. There is always an adventure in learning something new, but sometimes it is easy to bite off more than you can

Now that we have lived through that, I appreciate paying for a few pounds of pork we didn’t have to raise ourselves. There is always an adventure in learning something new, but sometimes it is easy to bite off more than you can chew :~)

Quick Tip: If you ever decide to buy a hobby farm and it has a few outbuildings, consider setting up an art studio!
