Lots of time I use breakfast for dinner as a way to keep my diet “meat” free. This particular recipe has eggs, so again, not strictly vegetarian but still not really meat. I don’t use commercial eggs. I have a hen house in the back yard with 3 hens.

We pay about 15.00 a month on
feed. Now you can say, heck I can buy a
lot of eggs at the store for 15.00 a month.
Yeah, you can. However the way
commercial hens are treated is horrible.
As chicks the hens have their beaks burnt off. This stops them from pecking each other in
the close quartered cages. They never
have their feet touch the ground. They are kept in tight little cages their
entire life. The words ‘free range’ and ‘cage-free’ are all the rage right now, however I urge you to do your homework. Those words do not mean what you think it
means.
Now on to the recipe.

If you don't have room to raise your own chickens, or you live in an area that wouldn't take kindly to early morning clucking check your local paper, farmer's market or Craig's List to find someone that raises them in your area. There is nothing better that fresh eggs. They taste better and are actually the correct size and color. It's really the only way to go.
Hope you enjoy!
Namaste and Blessed Be

We plan to keep chickens too! We can't here, so we look for free range eggs. But once we're settled back in the U.S.? Heck yeah, we'll keep chickens (and maybe ducks) for eggs.
Mmm, I love breakfast for dinner too!
We buy our eggs from an egg farmer. (Most of the time anyway). I didn't realize it cost so much to keep them! But I'm sure you get a lot more eggs than a dozen or two.
We really enjoy a mainly veggie and fruit diet here (well that is when I am cooking.;) But I have longed to have my own chickens/lots of them. We have five people in our family, three of which are children. So we would need enough in the flock to give to us enough eggs. What a blessing to be able to have your own fresh eggs. I love the french toast recipe. I have thought to make french toast with home made bread, but once I make the bread I find it to be a bit redundant to recook it. But, if we happen to save some for the next day, I would do this. Now store bought bread (on the other hand) we do make into french toast. Thanks for the recipe. :) Yum!
