The incredible, beyond organic, pasture raised, egg

My many egg dishes....we eat a TON of eggs around here!! "Aren't you worried about cholesterol" is the question I often here.  My answer,  not at all! The eggs we buy are laid by hens raised in such a way that the Omega 6 and Omega 3 content actually promotes heart health.  The problem with commercial eggs is they are laid by stressed out, abused animals.  You are eating stress and abuse disguised as an egg (and we all know stress causes us to release harmful hormones...same is true for chickens!)  Our eggs have  amazingly bright yellow yolk that is doesn't fall apart when it hits the pan.  They taste amazingly better than commercial eggs.....we will never go back! When our farmer isn't able to keep up with the demand for eggs we simply don't eat eggs, it's not worth the lesser quality.

"fried" eggs with shitake mushrooms and chopped broccoli


**"Boring Eggs" are placed in the cast iron skillet, sprinkled with salt, pepper and whatever else sounds good (curry, BRAGGS Organic Sea Kelp season mix, turmeric, garlic or chili powder).  They cook half way through, I flip them and presto....fabulous eggs with very little work :)

**Fried eggs are simply cooked "over hard" in a seasoned cast iron skillet.  I grew up calling them fried eggs and eating fried egg sandwiches....the name stuck but know that the eggs are not fried in the traditional sense :)
