The Perfect Breakfast
The chickens are on strike at the farm, which means we haven’t had eggs for a while. I finally located another source for local pastured eggs and we were super excited to finally enjoy the perfect breakfast again. What makes up the perfect breakfast in my book: bacon (all-natural of course), homemade sourdough toast, eggs fried in bacon grease (MMMM, is there any other way to cook them?), and sauteed organic (semi-local) mushrooms (which can really go with any meal in my book). 
We can’t forget the raw milk latte made with Colombian coffee (it counts as local if my dad brings it back from Colombia for us doesn’t it?). What breakfast would be complete without coffee?
Eggs are really the perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner. They’re super healthy (especially if you buy local pastured ones) and you just can’t get much tastier! We frequently enjoy them for quick meals and are happy to have them in our diets once again!
What do you consider to be the perfect breakfast?

Suzy, have I said this before; you and hubby do such a good job with your blog. It’s kind of a place to go and relax from all of the noise on the internet and to enjoy some really good pictures. By-the-way, my wife noticed that our pastured chickens had found their way to the house yesterday(their portable pen is about 200 yards away). I hope I can keep peace between the two parties. She took a picture of the chickens looking in the basement window. I’ll try to see if I can get that pic to share…

That would be funny, you’d better watch out, they’re plotting on you now that it’s cold. They think it looks nice and warm inside.

Looks perfect to me! We are still getting 4 a day.. wish I could send you some. We are in egg-valanche status again!

Fried eggs, corn tortillas, cheese, and salsa.
My chickens are on strike too, though, so no eggs for me. BOOO. I’m substituting mashed potatoes with melted cheese. Yes, for breakfast. Or anytime, really. Good thing there are so many potatoes in the cellar . . .

Potatoes for breakfast, sounds good to me. We often have potatoes instead of toast.

That looks just about perfect to me! We love eggs too but don’t have chickens ourselves, so must rely on local sources instead.

Looks so good! My old ladies have been on strike all summer…just when they are suppose to be productive. Now that the days are shorter they are starting to lay again after a long molt and my new chica’s are on schedule to give us golden eggs. Can’t wait.

It’s definitely a challenge at time trying to eat seasonally and to grow & raise your own.

The perfect breakfast? – you just described it. We are of like minds. If only I had my own chickens: I’m plotting and planning for a coop by Spring.
Bon Appetit’

A couple months ago we picked up eight lovely hens (two black stars, a buff orpington, a road island red, two barred rocks and two americaunas) and are patiently patiently waiting for eggs. They should be ready to lay in about another month, and we’re very excited. There’s just such a difference between grocery store eggs, and home-raised ones.
Your breakfast looks delicious, by the way!

We are getting 14 eggs a day right now from our 14 hens!
Did you make your bacon and eggs in an old iron skillet? They are the best! Thanks for doing such a great job on this blog! We enjoy it.

Yes, in an old Griswold #8 (It’s probably 2x my age). Can you cook bacon and eggs in anything else?

Yummy….eggs! I’ve had this crazy craving for eggs lately. Scrambled eggs with lots of sauteed veggies and melted cheese. Unfortunately my son won’t eat them that way and I’m not all that sure my daughter will either. My husband would join me, but we’ve recently discovered he’s allergic to eggs. *sigh* In the end it just seems like too much work for one person. I’ll just drool over yours!

I’m allergic as well, although I can eat them once or twice a week any more than that and I’m all broken out in hives.

Eggs Hussard.
If I ever have to chose a last meal thats it. English muffin, layer of smoked gouda, fine ham, poached egg, sauce Hussard over the top, served with Mimosa’s.
Wow. Can’t stop the drooling.

That sounds yummy, I’d have to add a roasted tomato on top of that – I really like a slice of crusty bread slathered with butter topped with a runny yolked egg and some roasted tomatoes and a sprinkle of romano.
Great, now I have to make some crusty bread so I can have this soon.

bacon and eggs for sure:) my sister is going to start getting green eggs for us from the horse farm where she boards her horse…. the kids will think they’re pretty cool!
to deedee's comment
Our farm is supposed to start getting colored eggs if the chickens every quit striking.
to Susy's comment
Steel cut oats that have been cooked overnight in the crock pot with raisins, cranberries, blueberries and dried apricots. Topped with honey and cashew milk. Green tea to drink…yum!!!

We love oat groats for breakfast on cold winter mornings (since we can’t eat eggs and bacon every day – sigh).
Here’s how we like our oatmeal:

Oh goodness… that does look perfect! And I am so happy to know that I am not the only one who buys mugs that advertise for Starbucks! lol… (I believe they have used our coffee addictions to research what makes the best products and then sell them. Pretty smart if you ask me.)
The place I get my eggs from is about done for the season as well. I agree… the little death that comes with the first frost each year is kind of astounding.
Off to make myself some free range pasture eggs. :)
Blessings,
