Know your eggs
Here is a link to an article on eggs. I love fresh eggs. I went to check yesterday and brought in 12 from my hens. I guess my husband forgot to gather them while I was out of town. Chickens are so easy to keep and so rewarding.
Conventional: Hens live in stacked cages, usually four to eight chickens to a cage with at least 67 square inches of floor space per chicken.
Cage Free: Hens live on the floor of a barn rather than the outdoors or in a cage.
Free Range: Hens live outdoors or have limited access to the outdoors.
Organic: Hens are fed vegetables grown without any antibiotics, growth hormones or commercial fertilizers.
Omega 3: Hens are fed a diet containing ground flaxseed, which produces eggs containing slightly more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Pepper Poppers
These little pepper poppers are amazing. Of course, pretty much anything wrapped in bacon is gonna be good.
Ingredients:
18 peppers (you can use jalapenos, or Costco and Fred Meyer has a bag of mixed little mini red, yellow and orange peppers that are really mild)
An 8 oz package of cream cheese
1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped
18 slices of bacon, cut in half
BBQ sauce
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes (be careful if you are using jalapenos!).
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and green onions. Fill each pepper half with the cream cheese mixture. Wrap a slice of bacon around the filled pepper. Brush each pepper with bbq sauce. Bake for 1 hour or until the bacon is cooked through completely..

Chicken Alfredo Flatbread
The Olive Garden has this delicious Grilled Chicken Flatbread on their appetizer menu. I made it at home the other night and it turned out really good. Here’s my version:
Garlic flavored Naan (Indian flatbread I found at Trader Joe’s)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips and sauteed in olive oil with seasoning salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Alfredo sauce (I’m not a big fan of jarred Alfredo sauce, so I made my own by sauteing 2 minced garlic cloves in 1/2 cup chicken broth for a few minutes, then added one pint of whipping cream and about 1 and 1/2 cups of shredded parmesan and let that simmer slowly, stirring frequently, till it reduced and thickened – it took a while – about 15-20 minutes.
Jarred roasted red peppers (which I found at the dollar store)
Mozarella cheese
I lined a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, placed the naan on the foil, then spread on some of the alfredo sauce, then topped with the chicken, peppers and mozarella. Use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like. Broil till the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
