We got chickens and we got fresh eggs so what better to do than find clean recipes that incorporate EGGS!!
My husband said when we got the chickens that once they start producing we wouldn't be able to keep up with the supply - well there you have my mission to find healthy recipes that incorporate eggs!!
Even though tonight isn't Tasty Tuesday and should really be a post about Workout Wednesday I HAVE TO SHARE THIS RECIPE because it was really that good!!
