yummmmmm....

On Wednesday morning, Kalib and I made chocolate chip crepes from this recipe and had them for breakfast.  Can you say YUMMMMMM??????  They were made with whole wheat all purpose flour and eggs from our lovely chickens, then when they came off the skillet we sprinkled some chocolate chips down the center, rolled them up like a burrito, poured some syrup over them and conquered them.  Holy wow is all I can say.

We can't eat them too often or my belt line will definitely need some attention, but wowzers they are certainly a yummy treat!

french toast

I love french toast and Kalib loves french toast, so sometimes when it is just the two of us, we make it from scratch, starting with the bread. J and India aren't big fans so it is a rare treat for Kalib and I to have it - not to mention it takes forever because I make a loaf of yummy bread in the bread maker - no store bought bread for french toast in this house - if we can help it of course.

We planned on having french toast while India was sleeping over at her friend Casey's house, so just before bed, I put all the stuff into the bread maker and let it do the work for me (have I mentioned that was one of the best kitchen appliances I have ever bought for us?)

Then we mix up the batter and get out the skillet and soak our fresh bread in it and throw it on the skillet.

and then, we eat it! MMMM so good! Best French Toast EVER!

keeping it local

So, we are getting 4 eggs daily. Just the perfect amount for breakfast and man are they good. Maybe it's just in my head that they are so delicious, but when I eat them up it doesn't matter that it might just be in my head because these eggs came from my sweet little chickens that follow me around the yard.


Cooking them up for a yummy breakfast. See how yellow they are?


And finished ready to eat... now talk about local, the bacon is from a local farm and it is some good eating and the coffee is from a local roasting company. We had a totally local breakfast. What more could a girl ask for? Good food with minimal environmental impact served up nice and yummy in my home! I love this town for all the good food that we can get and more opportunities to keep it good and local and healthy seem to be arising every day! There's talk that Athens is finally getting a trader Joes (although they don't sell all local food they sell healthy food at reasonable prices) and there's talk of a farmer's market similar to the Dekalb Farmers Market which would be awesome! The more I learn about the food, the more excited I get when new opportunities to eat well and more consciously arise! WOOHOO for good food!
